Illustration Friday - "Sneaky"

I was going to color this in and put in some more detail to sell the joke but ran out of time.  I actually kinda of like the limited color pallet but some details might be missing.  Thought this might be a nice way to say "sneaky" & Thanksgiving at the same time.  I drew his in Manga Studio although I struggled with it at first and attempted to do in on paper twice but that did not turn out.  In the end drawing on the Cintiq in Manga Studio did work out for the most part.  Strange but sometimes drawing on the Cintiq just feels limited.  Not sure why.  Still getting used to it in some ways even after all this time.  Have a super, amazing fun Thanksgiving everyone!

Animal stickers

Here are two pro-pet stickers I created today.  I must have been inspired by the dog we recently rescued from a shelter who was found wondering the streets in the LA area. My wife, daughter and I have fallen head over heels in love with her.  We really lucked out.  She is so calm and loving.


I drew these in Manga Studio, then turned them into vectors in AI where I also colored them.  I'll be ordering stickers of them later this week.

My Banner for the CTN-X Animation Expo

I'm having this printed into a vinyl banner to place behind my table at the CTN-X Animation Expo later in Nov.
Process: I drew this free hand on paper. First in pencil, then with Micron pens. Then cleaned up in PS and brought into Illustrator where it was colored and prepped for printing as a vector image.
