by on Jul.31, 2020, under Cartooning, Illusration

My Ha-Ba-da-Bee live drawing from July 18th.
 
This was one of the days I wasn’t feeling well and set aside the usual audience contributions and just started drawing an elephant. The rest I made up as I went along.
 
Someday soon I’ll post a sped-up video of me drawing this.
 
This is 16″ x 20″. Various brush pens on heavy paper.
Drawn in about an hour.
 
Next Ha-Ba-Da-Bee: Saturday at 3pm. About an hour.
Live Warm-Up: Friday, Monday and Wednesday at 1pm.

My Ha-Ba-Da-Bee Warm-Up illustration for April 23rd: A Batman Owl!

by on Apr.24, 2020, under Cartooning

Over on Twitter, a Twitter friend was Tweeting of usually seeing an owl perched on a stop sign while walking his dog. Instead there was a falcon. This lead to asking about masks and gloves, in which my Twitter friend respond: “Lol. Yeah. A mask like Batman tho.”
 
Thus, my warm-up subject for Thursday morning! 🙂
