\"A<\/p>\n

I’m trying to blog more, and that means posting art on my blog more, too.<\/p>\n

I draw a lot.<\/em> My day job (I’m a storyboard revisionist on Disney Jr.’s Ariel<\/em>) is drawing. I’m also working on graphic novels in my spare time. I can’t post too much of that stuff, and by the end of the day I’m too tired to draw anything else.<\/p>\n

I got through a big deadline though and finally had some breathing room. I wanted to draw but didn’t want to work, so I did this. Drawn and painted in Clip Studio Paint, took about an hour.<\/p>\n

I was working on Creaky Acres<\/a> <\/em>for seven years, and then rolled off of that and right onto Reel Love<\/em>, another middle-grade graphic novel. Add in Ariel<\/em>, and I’ve been drawing sequential art pretty exclusively since 2018. I haven’t done much else! I know my style’s changed, but I haven’t really had a chance to play around with it, like, in a low stakes, no deadlines way. I’ve got so many goals for this year, and one is maybe squeezing in some time to do some drawing just for me.<\/p>\n

Anyhoo, as much as I draw because I have to, it’s nice that I still enjoy drawing for fun.<\/p>\n
