Ok, this is a little backwards, but I realize that I really oughta nail down what the main character looks like in the comic I’m working on. I already plan in doing some re-drawing, so now’s as good of time as ever, right?
Last thing-a-day… thanks y’all!!
thing-a-day no. the last!
I thought I would end thing-a-day with a true-to-life self-portrait, and drawing of a friend. I’m the nose-ringed miscreant on the left. On the right is fellow poster and secret furry Calvin. HAHAHAHAH
Bye everyone, I really enjoyed reading and commenting on your posts
The fascinating next panel of the Hopeumentary comic!
I’m guessing that when this is put in with all the other panels no one will look at it for more than a twenty-fourth of a second.
Sorry this and other thing-a-day images of mine are so inappropriately huge. I’m just rolling with flickr’s default size.
To make up for the too-big entries, here’s a favicon I pixel pushed today for a my family-run art collective: 
(It’s a little frog with a littler person inside.)
For the comic I’m working on, the main character is a young girl who draws in her sketchbook.
Here’s me practicing what a kid might draw like. (This is basically how I draw minus art school pretensions.)
I was staring at some photocopies of pages from Osamu Tezuka’s epic Phoenix series, and hurriedly copied this robot design shape for today’s Thing. His 12-volume Phoenix story depicts literally anything or any place that you’d ever want to learn to draw. He is my illustration Jesus.
[media: sakura sumibrush pen, kimberley pencil, disneyland autograph book](PS: You can also see Tezuka’s Adolf vol. 1 on my shelf if you look closely) UPDATE: I was feeling productive, so I did a version 2 (version 1 was scrawled on a napkin a few months ago) of a 4-panel gag comic I wrote for the back page of comic strips for my zine.
I need to find someone (AHEMcalvin?derek?sophia?AHEM) to do the final version and get the visual preciseness just right.
Yikes! Still a day behind. Opted to see Persepolis again last night over buckling down on the drawing board. I’ll do my darnest to double up some time this week.
Bus driver inspired by Large Marge from Pee Wee’s Big Adventure.
This is another panel for the Hopeumentary comic, appropriate for the men-are-no-good conversation I had with a friend today.
Here’s another sketch for a comic illustrating the lyrics of my brother’s song “Hopeumentary”. Probably will be posting images from this project most of the month. (Sorry, a little late for day 3!)
Today was Hourly Comic day and I thought it would be a good way to kick off my thing a day month. I decided to do quick, straight to pen comics in my sketchbook.
This is the first page.
