So I’ve heard AI is being used to create full comic book pages now. I don’t think it will do a great job at it. Making comics is harder than some folks think, I’ve seen some terrific illustrators try their hand at it and fail miserably. There is so much more to it than pretty pictures. #idrawcomics
I am now 27 pages into this issue of Tiny Tots and I need to start wrapping up this issue soon in order for it to end where I need it to end. I am contemplating skipping to the last two pages to draw out what needs to happen. #idrawcomics #indiecomics
...Rest isn't a break from the work, it's part of it.

Drawing a pencil sketch of a new robot henchman the Tiny Tots may have to face in an upcoming issue. And there are even a few Tiny Tots in there for scale.
I don’t have a ton of background built up for this henchman other than who built him, but I’m working on it. #idrawcomics
I mean what else would I bring before the break of dawn on while on vacation… I’m drawing comics of course!! I finished the pencils for one page while on the plane and started this page last night, it’s coming along nicely I think.
#idrawcomics
These pages where the Tots are getting their butts handed to them have been a challenge to draw. Fun, but certainly a challenge.

I wrote a fun little blog post about my very first graphic novel project that I actually completed.
It was way back in ancient times, the year was circa 1984.

Guys this 2 spread is killing me! I'm not sure what made me think this was a better idea than a double page fight scene but here we are... the roughs are turning out ok but its definitely a challenge drawing this page.
#indiecomic #idrawcomics #makingcomics
I worked on 2 pages yesterday, 1 was the first page of a mini comic which will tell the story of an intrepid reporter uncovering corporate corruption and the 2nd page is the pencils for issue 10 of Tiny Tots, this page leads into the BIG double page spread fight scene!!

I didn’t want to step on the toes of all the folks out fighting the good fight but Tiny Tots issue 5 was released on @globalcomix.com yesterday!
#indiecomic #idrawcomics
I’m working on a piece that I hope to have done by Saturday, but given how many characters are in it I’m not 100% sure I will finish it by then. But I’m going to try.
#IdrawComics #indiecomics
Have you ever been scrolling through your art files and stumbled upon a drawing you completely forgot you drew?
Well, that’s how I (re)discovered this gem I drew I #adobefresco it’s one of my few successful attempts at colored word balloons.
#idrawcomics
Here is a page of VERY rough sketches of another of my favorite animals, the honey badger.
My wife told me I am an odd duck last night because I am obsessed with odd things, like honey badgers, narwhals, Lizzie Borden and The Great Molasses Flood.
#idrawcomics #indiecomics
So yesterday’s post about my drawing Narwhals when I’m stuck for something to draw gave me an idea for the theme for my next art show at J.P. Licks.
Yes…
I am going to hanging a dozen or so of these cute little guys around the store. #idrawcomics #narwhals #cutenarwhals
Ok, guys I’m gonna share a little secret with y’all.
When my brain just can’t seem to figure out what to draw or I hate EVERYTHING I am drawing I fill a page full of narwhals… sometimes it’s just one narwhal sometimes it’s a lot more than one. #idrawcomics #narwhal #artblock #overcomingartblock
Not a lot of interesting backgrounds drawn in this page but man is there a lot of action happening.
That first panel is looking darn good I think. #idrawcomics #indiecomic #tinytots
So clip studio paint ex has this handy 3d export feature that is really helpful for seeing how your “reads”. It helps ensure you don’t lose anything to the fold and also you see how fluid your page turns are. #idrawcomics #indiecomic #comicbookartisproblems
I’m still working on the last panel for this page but I think the pencils for this page are coming out well so far.
This whole issue has been a lot of fun to draw, and I am coming up to really fun part soon… the double page spread fight scene is about 6 pages away! #idrawcomics #indiecomic
This panel took more the better part of a day to draw… and I like how it turned out. I’m leaning heavily into the background/foreground elements to give sense not only of what’s happening but where it’s happening, I tried to add some dynamic elements to the foreground too. #idrawcomics #indiecomics
So I have this weird thing I do where I find an on this drawing and redraw it to see if if gotten any better as an artist. In this case it’s a drawing from 10 years ago… I think I have definitely gotten better.
#idrawcomics
I’ve started inks on issue 6 of Tiny Tots! This issue is a Lizzie solo story and while I know the this page doesn’t quite reflect it, this issue is going to the first issue where I’ve put a ton of work into the backgrounds. And it will feature interesting and exciting camera angles too! #idrawcomics
20 | The Children head out aboard the Sky Scooter, following the tracker. They arrive at the desert island shown on the map and find some puzzle pieces coming together.

I’m definitely trying some new things in this issue of Tiny Tots… are they all going to work out?
Who knows but it’s fun trying them.

So after seeing all these page in process posts I KNOW you all want to read Tiny Tots! Well, good news you can read the first 4 issues for free on GlobalComix.com 😀
So go on… what are you waiting for??
#idrawcomics #indoecomic
I’m really happy with how the pencils on this page turned out. I really tried to use the full bleed for the guy running away so a part of him is definitely cut off, my goal was to make it seem like he was running off page. #indiecomics #idrawcomics #smallpresscomic
This is how a comic book page comes together for me.
This case that first panel is doing all the heavy lifting for this page. #idrawcomics
I thought I was done with this little serious of illustrations. Turns out I had another one kicking around my head.
#idrawcomics #indiecomics #itsoktopunchnazis
Here’s another drawing from January 2021, I am not so happy with the art on this one but its message still resonates with me. I may consider a redraw on this one actually.
#idrawcomics #indiecomic #smallpresscomic #evenyoucanmakeadifference #bethechange #punchingnazisistiring
I drew this piece in January of 2021 and while I still kind of like the art I think the subject matter is still on point.
#idrawcomics #indiecomic #smallpresscomic #ctrlaltrightdelete #punchingnazisisfun
Let’s get ready to rumble!!!!!!
The Tots are ready to fight for what’s right.
Are you?
