I passed 60k words on the first draft of the book, excited to make it this far!

a late night sketching session using drawme from reddit as reference.

Little movie drawing time

My brush refuses to become a single tip again...so I'm proving it's not the boss of me and using it anyway.

Learning clip studio 😂 I feel like I'm starting over.

car pickup line sketch.

Line from today's book #AmEditing session. Something I need to remember for myself. There is so much I don't know.

It was a shorter one this week but still great work by @devinagonistes.bsky.social , Ash De Luney, and Kevin D. Lintz! medium.com/thecomicjam/...

cute little fella ❤️ - quick car pick up line drawing

Working on a 2nd draft of my book, and I think I have too many characters. I think the nevermore series has an ingenious way to deal with big groups of schoolmates. Siphon the main character into a solo group early and then cherry pick her mates as needed.

I'm tired of hearing justifications of current bad things because "the other side does bad too!" If its bad its bad stop it.

Nightime doodling, while rewatching Witcher:)

I do love the pentel brushes!

Our one-page comics this week peer through frames to see the "Window into Another World". thecomicjam.medium.com/window-into-... @chiotis.bsky.social @lintzlettering.bsky.social

Grateful to have people who start their feedback with "What are you trying to achieve?"

I am easily distracted by new ideas. I'll put in the effort but it goes in too many directions. I love Terry Moore's art and his Strangers in Paradise series is amazing! So I'm just copying him for the day. Ladies are copy attempts, dudes are me doodling from my head.... #art #ink #graphicnovels

Just finished "Anzu and the Realm of Darkness". Fun story with great messaging about being true to who you are. Really enjoyed the art style. It added to the story. Also...love the library and all the cool things I can find there! #graphicnovels #Comics

I like using the draw me reddit threat for quick people finding to sketch. This one I knocked out waiting to return some photo gear I rented.

For the complicated holidays, I hope the food is delicious or at least the day is peaceful!

Giving feedback is hard, giving feedback to friends is doubly hard. I find myself being too nice or too mean.

Some awesome work from some great writers and artists! thecomicjam.medium.com/samurai-in-s...

Basics always...why are squares hard to draw? Also, I'm a total sucker for the subtle color changes of these pencils with multiple colors in the lead. The subtle chaos...

I just gave the first draft of my book to my wife and oldest daughter to read...not sure what they will say.

pen and then colored

Some great and fun comics from the comics jam peeps! thecomicjam.medium.com/angel-and-de...

sometimes I need to get out of the digital world to understand something.

Theme for this week? Monster of the Week! thecomicjam.medium.com/monster-of-t... @jjmeyerstories.bsky.social @lintzlettering.bsky.social

I don't know what I'm doing!!!!!

I tried to draw the office puppy! I hadn't drawn with colored pencils for a while. Long Live Crayola 😂

thecomicjam.medium.com/the-empty-4d... Some fun work by some great creatives!

wishing my scanner was 9x12....then learned you piece scans together. Still wish it was 9x12.

I didn't write on this one, but there is some amazing artwork and fun concepts. Great work by linktr.ee/MichaelHoweA... , Fugitivepoems.com, and www.instagram.com/real_jackvt/ medium.com/thecomicjam/...

In a bold twist, our illustrious leader Casey randomly assigned each creator a superhero to bring to life in an original one-page comic! medium.com/thecomicjam/... @jjmeyerstories.bsky.social @lintzlettering.bsky.social @frogkingart.bsky.social

Gave myself two hours to write, pencil, and ink a one pager. In process photo from last night. First time I tried inking with a brush....

Plunge into the unknown with this week’s theme: Deepest Part of the Ocean! medium.com/thecomicjam/... @jjmeyerstories.bsky.social @frogkingart.bsky.social @lintzlettering.bsky.social

read Strange Adventures, which was a fun introduction to Adam Strange #comics

Getting ready to take some sketches to larger paper. I was going to watercolor them...but it was too much paper to stretch. Ink and markers it is.

a simple cartoon....about a not simple thing

I make cards to give people at work sometimes...except this hoodied fox. I liked him enough I just kept him.

I love drawing flowers, so much detail in such a small thing!

Right now, I have a hard time balancing the anger I feel, while being life giving and growing what I want to see in the world.

doing some pastels

Trying to use story grid as my overall process guide. I wanted something that gave me really clear steps to follow.

I wrote 5 chapters, and I'm reading story grid to get some thoughts on story as I do some light editing on my first 5 chapters. One big thing to change is I started out 3rd person and decided on mostly first person by the end.

I've spent a long time trying to work on creative projects with some amazing people..Slowly I've realized I need to bring more executable skills to those teams. So I'm trying to write books and draw cartoons now. Honestly, I have no idea what I'm doing.
