Another of the online cartoons I created last year. I had fun doing this one, doing my best to make them look-- at first glance-- like real emojis.
An illustration from MANGA ART. This one was created using artwork from a YouTube video I did. And yes, it does owe more than a little to The Iron Giant! 😅
An illustration from CHIBI, my instructional art book. I wanted to include a "kiss on the forehead" pose, since it seems to me you don't see this depicted so often in art. https://t.co/XjpIxaTH2d
An illustration I created in a video back in my early days on YouTube. At that time my MIKI FALLS series was coming out and I was doing my best to get the word out about it. This image has a lot of Rumiko Takahashi influence in it, I think.
Back to my one-per-week reposting of these comics from last year. This was meant to be funny, but I think it mainly just grossed people out. 😅
Artwork from CHIBI!, my how-to book devoted exclusively to chibi lessons. I had fun doing this book, as it allowed me spend the whole day working on cute illustrations for several months. :) https://t.co/xcVfWDucL5
Day 27 of 31! Drawing hands is so difficult I did an entire book devoted to the subject. :) But one simple thing you can do to improve your results is memorize the length of the fingers relative to one another. Hopefully this little guide can help.
Day 25! This one's very personal to me. Some artists are happy to work in a single "signature" style, others aren't. Don't let anyone make you feel you won't succeed if your style keeps changing, or if your style isn't instantly recognizable.
Day 21! Drawing fur takes a lot of patience, but it is time well spent. In the illustration you see here, the fur alone represents several hours of work.
Day 19! Drawing specific facial expressions is a huge part of a comic artist's job, and over the years I have found that the relationship between the iris and the upper eyelid is crucial. Even very slight adjustments can drastically change how alarmed/calm your character appears.
