Four bunnies hopping on a mock album cover called Hopping for soup - happy enough to hop

Day 4 Hopping For Soup
Todays drawing is inspired by Bowling for Soup's album Drunk Enough To Dance. I felt Winston & his cousins were a perfect fit for this one.

Day 3 Greatest Showbun Today's drawing is obviously a reference to one of my favorite movies the Greatest Showman. I tried to capture the opening feel of the movie where the lights flash on and off.

The Goo Goo Dolls album cover Rarities

For today's drawing I decided to reference one of the Goo Goo Dolls albums "Rarities". It was simple and a great opportunity to feature some of Winston's toys. Can you name all of these toys?

sketches of some birds asking if you fancy a pint, along with some cat sketches & the first sketch of the duck family all together

a Marker drawing of the Duck Family Brady Brunch style

A digital drawing of the duck family sitting on a picnic blanket

Last one for today, I'll share more another time.

I think this was the first sketch of the duck family all together. It may even be the first official sketch of Ben & Jerry.

Also I feel like the birds on left sound like the Beatles and have background/guest character vibes👌

Ever wonder how I make all those Winston & Friends drawings in April? Well more often then not its starts out with small quick concept sketches like these, usually made the night before or the day of.

So I know I haven't talked about the children's book in awhile and that's because we are currently in developmental hell. We recently had to drop our publisher and are now back to looking at self publishing for the time being 😞 1/2

After working my butt of for a month I present to you Witchy Winston & Friends! This marker drawing features Winston, Ssstan, Mal, MeiMei, Venessa, Dave, the twins Malissa & Arthur, and several new characters like Simone the raven, Bobbi the pig, Ozzie the pup & his brother Frankie the cat. All of which are dressed up as witches/cultists. This drawing was actually inspired by combination of my Halloween decorations and an old witch drawing I made of Winston years ago. Honestly this drawing turned out far better than I could have hoped. Especially considering I was so afraid of messing it up.

A close up of Mal the duck being told a scary story by Ozzie the pup, as Frankie the cat sneaks up from behind.

Vanessa the gecko jumps up in shock and aww upon witnessing something she thought was impossible. Beside her MeiMei crouches behind the brush wondering what's going on before her. Next to her Dave the fox takes in a mouth watering whiff of something delicious smelling.

Simone the raven, broom in hand, points up to the sky in amazement

I told you all I'd share the scanned version and on top of that I give you close ups.

A work in progress of my witchy Winston drawing. This snapshot features Ssstan the snake and Bobbi the piglet mixing a tasty brew. Mal the duck can be seen scared from what only time will tell.

Back to inking today, still have a ways to go, but I'm getting there.

A wip of my latest drawing. Simone the Raven can be seen here with linework complete as she points upward while dressed as a witch. Behind her in green pencil you can see MeiMei and her friends hiding in the brush waiting to be inked

Feeling a bit under the weather today, but just well enough to line the Witchy Winston & Friends drawing.

Finally started working on the Witchy Winston & Friends drawing. Gotta say Winston is looking even cuter than he did the last time I made him a witch.

Thinking about making a special Winston & Friends Halloween drawing. Going to be taking inspiration from some of my Halloween decorations as well as an old drawing. Thinking about adding my pets into the mix too.

Mei Mei is Mal's older sister. She is a white duck with black spots, bill, & feet. She wears a black hat, sleeveless turtle neck, & a checkered skirt. In this sketch she is leaning on a table. Mei Mei came from a rough home life as a duckling, because of this she ended up in the foster care system and put in Ben & Jerry's care. Eventually they adopted her and she had herself a real family. She still struggles with her past and the emotions tied to it. She might come of as rude or brash sometimes, but she also tries to help others who have been in similar situations.

Lastly we have Mei Mei, Mal's older sister. Mei Mei came from a rough home life as a duckling, because of this she ended up in the foster care system and put in Ben & Jerry's care. Eventually they adopted her and she had herself a real family.

Dave the fox wears glasses and a red vest

Meet Dave the fox, he's snarky, he's fun, and an all around pain in the butt. He pals around with Vanessa and MeiMei. Much like his friends he can be a bit problematic, pushing boundaries just to see what will happen. Overall though he's a good kit, just a bit rough around the edges

Sketch of Ben & Jerry the blue duck couple.

Ben & Jerry are Mal & MeiMei's dads. They met each other on blind date set up by Ben's sister and have been together ever since. Eventually they got married and fostered MeiMei which would eventually lead to her adoption. Soon after they took in an egg that would hatch Mal.

Narrator: Faster than a speeding bullet. More powerful than a locomotive. Able to leap tall buildings in a single bound. Buck 1: Look! Up in the sky! It's a beetle. Doe: It's a plane. Buck 2: It's Super Bunny! Narrator: Yes, it's Super Bunny, strange visitor from another planet who came to earth with powers and abilities far beyond those of a mortal bunny. Super Bunny, who can change the course of mighty rivers, bend steel in his bare paws. And who, disguised as Bark Ruffers mild-mannered reporter for a great metropawlitan newspaper, fights a never ending battle for truth, justice and the American way. And now another exciting episode in the adventures of Super Bunny. Drawn using alcohol markers in a comic book style to create a mock cover you can see Super Bunny separate the words that make his name.

I had so much with this one! Do you think I got the comic book style down? Would you read this comic?

An alcohol marker drawing of MeiMei & her friends Vanessa & Dave. Vanessa is the leopard gecko, MeiMei is the black and white duck, & Dave is the fox. The three are grouped together looking smug with black flowers around themand a box of text that says MeiMei & Friends.

Say hello to MeiMei and her friends Vanessa & Dave. I chose to make this similar last weeks drawing with Winston & his friends. MeiMei & her friends tend to act as foils to the boys. I might make some stories that focus on these three in the future to tackle more mature topics.
