i think the hardest part of being a cartoonist is drawing the nervous and circulatory systems, followed by the bones and muscles and then genitalia and each strand of hair on every character. then, it's time to add clothes

Today, I did some more work on my latest painting’s underdrawing, and went to IKEA to get a new chair for the “sitting” area of the studio’s drawing room. #art #artsky #artstudio #underdrawing #fineart #contemporaryart

Today’s has been quite involved, and as a result I’ve only had time to do some light #sketchbook work today. See you around tomorrow! #art #artsky #drawing

in honor of Kirby day, this page from THE HUNGER DOGS really nails something he had down better than almost anybody. When he drew something, it was the most important and impactful thing happening in the universe at that moment. The sickest riff possible being played the loudest and best.
