I see what you mean— it seems like a weird little protrusion..

Maybe the first one got simplified into the second one as like artistic shorthand?

In the span of a week I've watched 4 new series and my notebook is filled with so many new scripts and shorthand notes.

Most wont come to fruition but I just love screenwriting so much. It just makes me write better jokes. Or at least, THINK of some.

Details are unimportant when your artistic shorthand is obvious (rectangular green paper is money) or when the surrounding panels clear up the context. Below, I didn't bother giving my character an expression in the first panel because the second panel makes his expression clear!

As long as your art isn't distractingly bad, it doesn't need to be distractingly good, either. Comics are storytelling+shorthand. If your writing is good & your depictions are recognizable, you're in good shape. You're telling a story through stylized art...what readers expect!

Happy Friday! Here's a cool action shot of Starfire 👊🏼💫🔥 played around with a super foreshortened pose, an imitation of a fish eye camera lens, and some effects tools in Procreate. I also made a pretty cool shorthand for the buildings in the bg.

I didn’t have time to make art commemorating the Steven Universe movie, so please take this unfinished piece instead

(Based off of a shorthand draft Ian JQ sketched out a while ago)

Digging thru old storyboards. Pitch was my fave to draw. Shorthand: big black blob with white dots for eyes. Achieve creepy.

Ian Jones-Quarty posted a shorthand mock-up of a Steven Universe/OK K.O. Crossover game cover and I wanted to take a shot at giving it some line art and color

It’s missing some SFX and Steven’s Shield (among other things), but I’ll finish it up when I get some more spare time

I have this shorthand for drawing myself that doesn't much resemble me anymore! I don't wear contacts and I've haven't dyed my hair in ages. Decided to take a stab at drawing a more true-to-life vers, solstice-boating sunburn and all!
Man I hate drawing glasses! Never again!

i'm eli, i'm bi, and i'm making a 1970s fantasy noir comic called Shorthand Magic. it's only just starting, but many of the characters are queer, including a bi protagonist. oh, and there's lots of guns and magic, and corny 70s aesthetics, if you dig it. https://t.co/kmHCeZ98UX

Yeah, but usually they use 'cartoon' as shorthand for 'not-real', 'animated', or 'drawn'. Some would say it wouldn't count anime either..but anyway..for me, it'd probably be Sailor Neptune.

A whole series of icons were developed by us for Big Brother, based on the logo and representing various aspects of the show. They are used within the programming itself as a form of visual shorthand.
