Freestyle dunking day 11, Gear and Bot! Space kitty and his robot friend like to explore the vast wilderness of a dinosaur planet. They are stars of a zine I created earlier this year.

Freestyle inking day 10 features my little cat alien, Gear. Gear is engineering genius built into a small, huggable, package.

Inking promotional concept art for “Hex Me Again,” my monstrous adaptation of Jane Austen’s “Pride and Prejudice”. The other side of the circle are characters for “Dinosaur Necromancer,” I’m hoping to animate this so it rotates on my website showing characters from both series.

Freestyle Drawing Day 9: ROBOT INVASION!

Adding a mix of sci-fi to our dinosaur high fantasy series with a mecha invasion from space. Guess what kind of space aliens pilot these massive machines?

Just Grandma Dorra sitting on a duckbill dinosaurs’s head. She is very tiny, yet very spunky.

Day 7 of freestyle inking, it didn’t completely go with the plan in my head but I think it still turned out well.

Freestyle drawing day 6: Mina and Elf gathering oversized fruit from a tree with Tiffany the triceratops looking on. Took about 10 minutes to complete today’s entry.

Freestyle drawing day five: the elven village of Tinwee. This time lapse condenses seven minutes of drawing down to about 35 seconds. Each freestyle drawing should not take more than 10 minutes to draw.

Freestyle inking day 4: Necromancer with an old Dino pal.

On week 2 of the Kid’s Comics Class at Happy Time Studio we worked on writing and illustrating 4-panel comic strips. @lucyknisley.bsky.social “Woe” , @goraina.bsky.social “Smile”, and Eiichiro Oda’s “One Piece” were examples of different types of panels in action.

Today I drew Tiffany the Triceratops for day three of my freestyle inking challenge. Tiffany and Mina the elf are best buds and love to explore the woods together.

Day two of freestyle inking featuring the Necromancer. Illustration done with Red PN Sakura micron pen and red Tombow brush tip markers on dotted notebook paper.

Join me December 7th from 1-3 PM for a special watercolor card making workshop at @happytimeworkshops . We’ll cover watercolor painting fundamentals and techniques while painting lovely holiday cards for friends and loved ones.

In an attempt to improve my cartooning art, I’ve challenged myself to do a 10 minute freestyle illustration everyday. Hoping that this improves my drawing confidence and creates better spacial awareness with layouts. I encourage all artists try this out if you haven’t already.

Great first week in the Kid’s Comics Class with Happy Time Studio. This week’s class was about creative writing for comics and story circles. Next week is the anatomy of comic strips.
