Testing out some gouache paints I got for Christmas. I wish I had thought to prepare an actual sketch, but I mostly wanted to see how things applied. A couple of cats #ArtbySem #TraditionalArt #Gouache

"IN OBSERVANCE & SOLIDARITY". Two black speech bubbles with white text read "HOURLY COMICS DAY IS NOW ON FEB 8TH. CARTOONISTS HONOR BLACK HISTORY MONTH. FEB 1 - MAR 1". There is an illustration of a black silhouetted hand raised and holding a pen in the top right, and an illustration of a nib pen and an ink well personified on the bottom right. The nib and ink are bumping fists. A URL at the bottom is "hourlycomicsday.com".

Hourly Comics Day has MOVED!

It's the 20th anniversary and we're taking a stand alongside our Black cartoonist members and friends to demand a change to honor Black History Month- draw your comics on the 8th, not the 1st!

My website should now have a comics section! I want to make a comic for the landing page and move the Salix picture to my illustration page, but that's for later I think

There are gold accents but I'm unsure the scanner really picked them up well. Alas, I knew what I was getting into when I got out the gold

Various inking marks.

Various inking marks.

Trying to do inking practice. Left is hot pressed paper, right is cold pressed. You can see which pens I didn’t bother with on cold press. Tomorrow I hope to try to do some shading practice

The possum is still sitting in the trash. “Heh,” someone says from out of frame. It is a pug, who flashes a wry smile and says, “for me? every day is ‘make a terrible comic day.’” They continue to mug while the possum stares blankly from the shadows. She grabs the pug, yelling with wild eyes, “then there should be no issue with your COMPULSORY PARTICIPATION, right??? Just another day at the office???”
