‘Harry Potter and the Ink of Manga.’ Thanks to a challenge from one of my 4th graders in my Cartooning class today!

Shall I present a preview to a future blog post based on my Moleskine's quest?! I love catching folks on a train while they're asleep. #artistsoninstagram #indieartist #cartoonist #illustration #ink #uniball #tombow #moleskine #moleskine_arts #saturdaymorning #bartride (at San Francisco, California)

Carrot juice. Martini. Coffee. Some things are just better rich. Cropped close-ups of my next project will litter my page for at least a week; just a heads up. ;-)

o_O So let me get this straight; I called this 3 year's ago in my sketchbook without thinking about Pikachu as a Detective?! Well, guess my friends were right; I Am a psychic type. ;-) If only Kirby was his sidekick... #artistsoninstagram #cartoonist #indieartist #ink #videogames #nintendo #pokemon #DetectivePikachu #kirby

Starting this week, I'll be resuming thumbnails for the 'SolForce' 2016 calendar!! Of course, this'll be in between reviewing my students' comic art. ;-) In any case, I'll leave you all with some year-old character visuals in the meantime. Starting with my main swordsman, Lyre Harper! #artistsoninstagram #artteacher #digitalart #ink #blueauraoasis #solforce #characterdesign #bird #swordsman #lyre

Zoology for a Monday.

`Strawberry Dough Season's Sweetings' preview #8: I have a certain weakness; whenever I introduce a new one-shot character, I get pretty detailed on that animal. In this case, it's a dragonfly! #artistsoninstagram #cartoonist #artteacher #watercolor #ink #workinprogress #comicbook #animalsofinstagram #strawberrydough #seasons #autumn #autumnnights #marsupial #australia #echidna #hedgehog #dragonfly #insect

'Strawberry Dough Season's Sweetings' preview #9: Part of the second page that introduces the traits of Bilby & reintroduces Squishy, Wombat & Bandicoot. I enjoyed how this page entirely came out -especially the last 2 panels. ;-) #artistsoninstagram #artteacher #drawing #watercolor #comicbooks #cartoons #bookseller #bookstagram #fallreading #blueauraoasis #strawberrydough #seasons #autumn #doughnuts #sweettooth #sugarglider #koala #hedgehog #echidna #wombat #bandicoot #bilby #marsupials #australia #outback #animalsofinstagram

'Strawberry Dough Season's Sweetings' preview # 9: Autumn nights with Wombat & Echidna. I also wrote something of a poem to this & another page. I'll post out next week! #artistsoninstagram #artteacher #drawing #watercolor #comicbooks #cartoons #bookseller #bookstagram #fallreading #blueauraoasis #strawberrydough #seasons #autumn #autumnnights #sweettooth #sugarglider #koala #hedgehog #echidna #wombat #bandicoot #marsupials #australia #outback #animalsofinstagram

'Strawberry Dough Season's Sweetings' preview #6: Something I didn't't do much of in the first 'Strawberry Dough' book last year was use gradient maps for the panels. This time around, I utilized that nifty tool a bit! #artistsoninstagram #artteacher #drawing #watercolor #comicbooks #cartoons #bookseller #bookstagram #fallreading #blueauraoasis #strawberrydough #seasons #autumn #doughnuts #maple #pumpkin #sweettooth #sugarglider #koala #hedgehog #echidna #wombat #bandicoot #bilby #marsupials #australia #outback #animalsofinstagram

'Strawberry Dough Season's Sweetings' preview #5: Here's part of the introduction of Bilby, a new character to the series!! As you can tell, she's something of a shadowy thief. I wonder how Squishy & Co. will handle it... ;-)
