There's a tea place in my town that both has really good tea and puts a little trinket or treabie on the cup. This smol pompom creetur lives on top of my monitor now.

Here's one of my most recent remastered pages ^^;

Some of the material for my first comic drawing lessons for kids that I do in my hometown.
There was a lot of interest for the course, I´ll teach 5 girls and 5 boys. I tried out some of my
drawing tutorials with some teenagers last thursday and they really liked it.

[Kelheor]

@allenT omg these are absolutely great

@Lensing happy to hear your course is popular! the materials look really professional
/me, secretly learning some German from them >D/

[Lensing]

Thank you, I tried to come up with a super simple way to draw the torso and to get the proportions right
because that´s something I struggled with a lot when I tried to learn how to draw.

I don´t know if kids in other countries also play that drawing game, in germany it´s called "Das Haus vom Nikolaus"
Santa Claus house. Every kid knows it, you connect the lines without stoping and try to draw the house.
And that´s what my figure drawing technique is based on. 2 times the house without a roof.
The advantage of that is that every kid is familiar with it and I don´t have to tell them to draw squares or
something abstract like that

I love these

Thank you so much!! (I only just saw your message. New notifications )
@DelythThomasArt I love your horse dinosaurs!! Such a cool concept!
@tarraxahum I love how much each character stands out in the new version!
@rumpenstiltzkin Really love the hair swish on your mermaid animation. It's so cute!
@Calculus_Homework All of your sketches have such a good grasp on anatomy!

Sketching this out was a lot more of a challenge than I bargained for, but I think I got it to a point where it looks decent.

[allenT]

I want to be able to marker my characters directly without deformities one day

[allenT]

Footwear repairman, looks more like rat than weasel as designed

marker with highlighters looks so fresh. (camera couldn't capture the oversaturated orange)
(edit:fluorescent orange)

I don´t have much time for sketching and drawing right now because I´m color flatting illustrations for a book
right now. It´s a pretty good and easy job, it´s just super exhausting and it´s really hard for me to imagine
how people are able to do that for 8-10 hours a day.

And here is a quick sketch, I made a copy of a panel of a cartoon I saw online

[DanielRKM]

@Calculus_Homework and you are rocking those character sheets!

@thepenmonster All metal build for art that's all metal!

@allenT Hey there, markers and fresh pencils! Those are looking seriously, seriously great- Love the weasel!

@Kelheor Sweet hugs!

@sartinjacqueline05 "Sassy baby"

@Lensing Agreed, I don't know how anyone can craw for 8 hours a day. That copy of a cartoon panel looks pretty great! I love the staging/action here

@bulgariansumo Watch your step! Really love the intensity of your lines and how appealing these characters are.

@Lunar-Turtle I would like to have your character on the right's star hoodie (as well as their disposition). Super cute.

@EncryptedWriting That update is clean and powerful.

@thepenmonster Pig hiding behind a column? Is this a governmental pork-cutting joke? Am I... a geezer if I got that?

[DanielRKM]

@Headypigeon4180 have a feeling they'll make their own magic.

@amilcardraws Dang, look at that layout! I'm also getting really strong Comic-Zone™ vibes from that dude.

@simonitropunk Yeah foreshortening! There's some really nice movement here!

@bronte448 This pompom must be protected as much (if not mores) than the actual bees. One pollinates life, the other pollinates dreams.

[DanielRKM]

So I originally thought that the joke of having a robot put on funny glasses (to be more "human") was a little lame at first, but it has quickly become one of my favorite running gags for my new comic.
