UMMM THESE CAME AND I AM IN LOVE. I ordered these from @stickermule and I'm just OVER THE MOON with joy! They are bright, vibrant, and soooo rich! I even compared them to the original paintings! I was also surprised because I ordered 10 of each, but I got 16 Eleanor's and 13 Dazer's! I DON'T KNOW WHAT TO DO WITH THEMMMMM. I thought maybe a #dtiys challenge and 5 random people get 1 of each?? MAYBE?!? IDK. I JUST WANT TO PUT THESE ON MY HANDS AND FACE LIKE A LITTLE KID!!!! #stickermule #vinylstickers #comiccharacters #comicartist #comicmerchandise

Lately, I've been using an old-school way of staying on task: an actual analog alarm clock. This $3 clock from Wal-Mart has been immensely helpful! I know my phone has various alarms and timers, but I actually focus far better when I can really "see" how much time has passed, and how much time I have left. I know it might annoy others, but I personally also enjoy the ticking noise. It's like a thread of focus that I follow as I work. Plus it has kind of a cute, almost vintage quality that I find quite pleasing! #comicartist #webcomic #productivitytips #artistatwork #cuteclocks

For a long time, roughing out pages was my least favorite stage of comic making. But I've learned that if I do it slowly and thoughtfully, I enjoy it a lot more. Rushing through it just makes me frustrated. #timelapsedrawing #pencilsketch #comicartist #comiccharacter #dazerandeleanor

I'm both proud and heartbroken over Dazer's angry speech 😭 😭 😭 #webcomicartist #comicsketches #webtoon #dazerandeleanor #angryface #characterdrawing

I made a YouTube video yesterday about (basically) how I'd like YouTube to be a hobby for me, and it was the best decision ever! It was like I gave myself permission to enjoy something creative, without trying to make it Profitable™. As a result, I'm all excited to play around with filming and stuff 😂 I take comic-making very seriously and I want to do it well. It feels good to let video-making be something casual and free (instead of another source of stress and pressure.) You can look up Miss Marck on YouTube if you're interested in hearing more 😁 #strathmorepaper #colerasepencil #webcomicartist #comiccharacter

New update over on Webtoons! Tenon managed to keep a secret for approximately a dozen panels. Gold star, prince. Gold star. #webcomicartist #comicupdate #fantasycomic #romancecomic #webtooncomic

Yo I had a thought about "originality" and "inspiration" today. I've been playing Fire Emblem again, and I love the character design in that game. Even before I played it, Roy was my favorite Super Smash Bros character and I drew him a lot. So last night, I really felt the urge to draw Fire Emblem-y characters... And just as I started, I wondering if I was "cheating." It didn't feel particularly brilliant or creative, so I wondered if it just a way to copy or steal. But this afternoon, what I realized is that I want to understand the Fire Emblem style so I can take it apart and figure it out. I want to grasp it. And the only way an artist can learn something like that is to study it *thoroughly*. So if you feel like you're not being original or creative, and you keep copying the style or techniques of others, it might just be your brain trying to figure something out. Inspiration isn't always an answer. Sometimes it's just finding a new place to ask questions. Copy away. Soak up that info. You'll figure out how to own it later. #sundaythoughts #charactersketch #artinspiration #webcomicartist

Guess who just discovered @kyle.t.webster's set of watercolor brushes for Photoshop. (It's pretty and fun to play around with, but I think it would easily "overwhelm" a page.) #digitalwatercolor #comicillustration #comicartist #webcomicart

Annnnd boom! My entry for @pip400art's #drawthisinyourstyle! I have wanted to draw these two for a while, honestly, and I've really loved following their story! So I grabbed my new paints, and whipped this up! I was really worried about the skin tones, but I think I ended up getting a decent tone! Go check out the other entries too! Also I want to give Ben long white hair now. Any objections? 😂 #dtiys #watercolordrawings #whitenightswatercolor #comicartist #artchallenge

A very very quick test run with the White Night paints ❤️ ❤️ ❤️ First impressions: creamy and vibrant! The two colors I was the most excited to try were Scarlett and Azure, and they did not disappoint! I actually filmed the unboxing and my first test painting, so maaayyybe I'll get it edited into a video. #whitenightswatercolor #lenningradpaint #watercolorsketching #watercolordrawings #comiccharacter

I've been doing some color testing this week, and I think I've figured out a good look for my comic! Colored pages has been a dream of mine for a while now... But I decided this morning that I should buy a Cintiq for coloring. I used to be very prone to "this tool will make me better" purchases, so I'm very critical when buying tools now. But I honestly think it would be a good investment these days. I think I would get my money's worth. - To that end, I'm going to really put effort into SkillShare this month. It pains me to take time away from comic making, but it'll be a more or less steady income that will EVENTUALLY allow me to put more time into comics. I'm pretty terrible at patience and long-term goals, but this is the right decision I think. #digitalcomics #comiccolorist #comicpage #webcomicartist #webtoon

I randomly decided to do some reference studies last night. I picked a hut/cabin I found on Unsplash... while I was painting, I had the idea that maybe this is where Ben lives 🤔 #watercolorstudy #cabininthewoods #forestpainting #colorstudy #watercolorartist

I think adding red to the inside of Lissa's cloak really helped somehow... It gave her a more regal look. Plus it helps her design feel more "warm", which compliments Ben's "cool" palette (despite his flaming red hair.) - Also inking away on my current comic project 👌 #watercolordrawings #watercolorsketching #comicartist #characterillustration #characterconceptart

I revisited a sketchbook piece from a while back. Just continuing to practice leaving the white of the paper. I kinda sorta feel like make a colored background would have made the white on the characters "pop" a bit more. #watercolorsketching #watercolordrawings #romancecomic #fantasycomic #dazerandeleanor

When your nephew asks you to draw Link, you draw Link... complete with pot lid 😂 #legendofzeldabotw #linkbotw #fanart #watercolordrawing #watercolorsketchbook

These two ❤️ Ben and Lissa! Ever since I decided to focus on Dazer and Eleanor, it's like I lost my ability to just "doodle" character concepts. So I deliberately "allowed" myself to work on the fantasy/magic concept I've always wanted to do, and these are the two leads. With their story, I hope to challenge myself to do a bit more world building 🤔 #watercolorsketching #characterconceptart #webcomicartist #watercolordrawings #comiccharacter

I made 2 big decisions regarding Ben's design: 1. I don't care if his armor is logical or practical. 2. I got rid of the baggy pants because they felt awkward and cumbersome. Also in my mind, Dazer would be very jealous that this character gets to have a dog 😂 #watercolorsketching #kuretakegansaitambi #strathmorepaper #webcomicartist #characterdesigns

WHEN DID I PAINT THIS? This is in my little Strathmore watercolor journal, which I'm not a fan of, but yo, this little study came out pretty swell! - I don't like the Strathmore for some reason, but it's my only (small) watercolor journal/sketchbook that isn't full, so I decided to use it up before I buy a new one. I think it's the intense texture... I tend to prefer smoother paper. #romancecomic #webtooncomic #dazerandeleanor #comicartist #watercolorsketching
