Playing around with new digital painting techniques and color.

Playing around with new digital painting techniques and color.
Recoding yourself as an artist can be very humbling, but useful too!
I ended up fixing the knuckles and wrist after the fact.
Also making decisions is not a strength of mine. Especially when I’m mostly drawing from imagination or without a clear reference or idea for the end result.

I forgot to share this here yesterday. I’m attempting to get over my hesitation when inking.

An older illustration I still like, even though I could probably do better now.

This piece has never felt quite right, but I really love the texture of the fur and the softness of it.

I’m trying to be a more intentional inker and a less messy artist, but focusing is not a strength of mine. Most of the pages of this new manga I’m working on might need to be re-inked. We’ll see, maybe touch ups will be enough. I’d rather move forward, but I still want it to feel cohesive.

The "Is it a constitutional crisis yet?!" discussion is so absurd: Of course you can construct increasingly esoteric definitions for why this current moment doesn't meet your exact criteria yet. But meanwhile, this is where we are: Masked agents of the states abducting people for writing op-eds.
Video of the international student at Tufts being arrested by "federal authorities" in Massachusetts has been released and it's terrifying.
They're not even uniformed officers. Just secret police thugs in hoodies and masks.

More “barging”, please. Also “storming.” We could use more “storming.”
Reps. Judy Chu (D-Calif.) and Gwen Moore (D-Wisc.) barged into House Speaker Mike Johnson’s office unscheduled on Wednesday and challenged him about Elon Musk's team gaining access to a sensitive payment system at the Treasury Department.

Not always *literally* true of course—some have better luck with 1 and 3 in particular—but I think there's an *emotional* truth to this.

I've been thinking a lot about comics lately and the craft and calling of making them. So I wrote myself a comics manifesto. Please comment, share, steal, or disregard.
