A stressed out police chief chewing out one of his officers. (Interestingly, this started out by me just wanting to draw two characters with triangular-shaped heads, one pointed up and the other pointed down.) I wonder what he did? . . . #drawing #illustration #cartoon #character #drawnbyshawn #artistsoninstagram #characterdesign #police #chief #yell #mad #shout #angry

Someone is not pleased to have everyone at home during quarantine. Our cat actually seems to enjoy it, but the joke going around seems to be that cats hate it and dogs love it. (Work-in-progress, tight sketch before inking.) . . . #drawnbyshawn #artistsoninstagram #characterdesign #cat #quarantine #pet #wfh #workfromhome #coronavirus #covid19 https://www.instagram.com/p/CAVuYXoDZcc/?igshid=v7hw69p49h4c

The final version of the drawing I had been posting work-in-progress versions of recently. This is my entry into the @svslearn April 2020 contest with the prompt: “Lisa's robot invention worked great, until it did this...” . . . #drawnbyshawn #artistsoninstagram #characterdesign #inventor #maker #robot #bot #robotoverlords #riseofthemachines https://www.instagram.com/p/B_pjnbCjg9n/?igshid=qs04zu3s6zy3

My entry into the @svslearn Jan 2020 contest with the prompt: “The tracks in the snow were unlike anything Will had ever seen before.” Once I thought of this idea, I couldn’t NOT do it. (It is actually formatted 11x17, so I adjusted a bit and included some zoom in shots so you can see more of the details here on IG.) . . . #drawing #illustration #cartoon #character #drawnbyshawn #artistsoninstagram #characterdesign #starwars #theempirestrikesback #hoth #at-at #snowspeeder #tracks #snow https://www.instagram.com/p/B7Y8lDGjQOq/?igshid=5afow9t7ro6y

My entry into the @svslearn October 2019 contest with the prompt: “The experiment worked! Penny was so relieved to have her dog back from the dead!” This one had some Inktober-inspired requirements – had to be ink (or look like ink) and black and white only. . . . #drawing #illustration #cartoon #character #drawnbyshawn #artistsoninstagram #characterdesign #robot #dog #computer #backup #restore https://www.instagram.com/p/B4SwDxlDCb5/?igshid=d4lsdtqkz3ow
