And that’s a wrap on another sketchbook! Every page, from the first rough idea to the last polished drawing, is part of the journey. There's nothing quite like the feeling of closing a book full of new worlds and characters. On to the next one! #SketchbookTour #ConceptArt #ComicArt

Here's two years of learning to draw in one time-lapse! ✏️ Still new to this, but having a blast working on pages for my secret project. It's all about progress, not perfection!

What's a new skill you've been practicing lately?

Folks, Michael Regina has done it again! Deepwater Creek is a fantastic read that blends fun, touching all-ages horror with adventure and cosmic horror. The art is beautiful, and the story is a total page-turner. Read this book!

This is a fantastic page from Mike Mignola's ( @mikemignola.bsky.social )masterwork, Gotham by Gaslight (1989). The top image is an excellent example of light, shadow, foreground, and background, with the red blood in the foreground adding a dramatic 'wow' factor.
A two-panel comic book page. The top panel shows a dark silhouette of a figure standing over a body on a rooftop, with the cityscape of Gotham in the background. The style is heavily influenced by German Expressionism, with stark lines and a dramatic use of shadow and light. In the foreground of the lower part of this panel, a splash of bright red blood is visible, contrasting sharply with the cool, muted colors of the cityscape. The bottom panel is a newspaper front page from "The Gotham Guardian" with the headline "JACK THE RIPPER IN GOTHAM?". Below the headline, it reads "GHASTLY MURDERS MIRROR LONDON SLAYINGS!" An accompanying smaller illustration shows a man with a mustache.
