My pal, comic artist and illustrator, John Narcomey (@narcomey_art)is prolific. He draws far more than I do. He's a machine. He also comes up with great characters. His style is very cool and very graphic. I was flipping through one of his art books "Diesel Punk," and came across his character No Face. I loved the design and had an overwhelming urge to draw the character. So I did. John's graphic style is inspiring. I decided I wanted to marry it with two other graphic design style. One from Bruce Timm and the other from Robert Valley. That's what the final image of No Face on the stool came from. If you want to see John's book, his design, and my preliminary sketch, swipe through the images.

Another fun cartoony watercolor postcard. The idea was to play with graphic shapes and color it simply. I tried not to over render. Recorded the whole process and will be on my YouTube channel.

Continuing my practice painting in acrylic. This was the fourth and last of my practice paintings. I meant to move on to color after this one but haven’t got around to it yet. #painting #traditionalpainting #portraitpainting #acrylicpainting #monocromaticpainting #prettygirlpainting (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CfCIVsfFuqn/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Practicing acrylic painting. I’ve never really done it before. This is my third attempt. Once I got a bit more control and a process that I understood. This was painted only using brown paint with white and black on a piece of cardboard. #cardboardpainting #painting #acrylicpainting #acrylicportraitpainting #paintingwomen #paintingpractice🎨 (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CewAr6rLBy-/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Continuing my pencil rendering practice. This was my attempt at rendering dark skin lit only by less dramatic ambient light. I couldn’t fall back on my old trick of creating a graphic shadow shape that did 80% of the work for me. #pencildrawing #pencilrendering #sketchbookart #renderingpractice #traditionalart #artpractice #prettygirlart (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CeMQ9flpNVN/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m not very good at pencil rendering. Since I wasn’t good at it, I didn’t practice it and never improved. I’ve recently found a rendering method that’s fun to do for me, which made it fun to practice rendering with a pencil, so here’s my practice. #pencilart #pencildrawing #pencilrendering #rendering #sketchbookart #figuredrawing #femalefiguredrawing #traditionalart (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cd54XHYLL2B/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Smacking lions. Okay, so unless I can come up with more gags this will be the last comic for now. I’ll post new ones when they come to me but I won’t force them. Do you like these? I do have fun doing them. #blackterrorkid #theclaw #lion #sleepinglion #comicstrip #funnycomic #clipstudiopaintex #gag #funny (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cdn3SMZrRfy/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Since it’s #mermay I thought I’d at least try doing one mermaid. #lemonade #limeade #drinks #fish #mermaid #blackterrorkid #clipstudiopaintex #comic #gag #funny (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CdV-8Smrban/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

Deep thoughts…perhaps too deep. #clipstudiopaintex #gag #blackterrorkid #theclaw #comicstrip #deepthoughts #problemofsuffering #diggingdeep #mysteries #questions . . . . . . . SCIENCE! Some of the videos I watched that made me think. https://youtu.be/ss-kzyXeqdQ https://blog.magiscenter.com/blog/what-can-science-tell-us-about-creation-and-design (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/CcxwBc9Lwbx/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

This one is based on the kind of thing my kids say, or hear you say. Lots of goofy misunderstandings happen around little kids. #blackterrorkid #theclaw #porkrinds #thingsthatkidssay #comic #gag #kids #clipstudiopaintex (at Los Angeles, California) https://www.instagram.com/p/Cb-8I_pPoKZ/?utm_medium=tumblr
