by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jun.18, 2014, under Cartooning
Here’s the color version of the airboat art. This is to be used on tishirts involving this musician. I’ll let you all know how to get a t-shirt here, when it’s available, if you all would like.

June 11th, 2014 – Today on the drawing board: Pencils of cartoon illustration for musician’s t-shirt.
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jun.11, 2014, under Cartooning
Here’s are the pencils for a proposed t-shirt design for a musician. It goes in for approval and let’s see what happens. If i can, I’ll try to post the final art as it comes along.
I ordinarily would include the background, but in this is for a t-shirt, simplicity is important. It might still be added. I do get into other details from chickens to fish. I’m likely to really tone those down quite a bit when inked.
June 10th, 2014 – Today on the drawing board: Hiking cartoon in progress!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jun.11, 2014, under Cartooning
This is the inked version of a gag cartoon I’m working on at the moment. My approach is a lot looser than I normally ink. I know that the color needs to tell part of the story, so I backed off tighter inking. The cartoon is due this week and I still have to format in a panel template and then color. I have a set of cartoons to color and plan to color them all at the same time.
June 6th, 2014 – Today on the drawing board: Caricatures in Gainesville!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jun.07, 2014, under Caricatures
Was in Gainesville this evening drawing for a wedding. Above was the matriarch of one of the families. Though in a wheel chair these days she still tends her garden and works through books of word searches. Seems to me an answer to longevity – Goals made and maintained.
Below are more from the event.
June 5th, 2014 – Today on the drawing board: Watercolor in process…still!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jun.06, 2014, under Caricatures, Cartooning
Didn’t get much artwork done today. Started painting this illustration. Got the hard part out of the way, but had to move on due to an important National Cartoonists Society meeting this weekend.
The last few days have had me sidelined involving a couple of charitable groups I’m with from Orlando Remembered to the National Cartoonists Society. That time invested has really cut time from getting artwork done. A bunch of the charitable work is to slide me a bit further from it so I can concentrate on work more. So, I’m not getting as much art done as I need to. Posting artwork everyday has brought that to my attention loud and clear this week.
Today on the drawing board: Travelin’ caricature in the process!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on Jun.03, 2014, under Caricatures
This couple from South Carolina have requested a larger illustration than I usually do. 16″ x 20″. They provided a good list of activities they are or will be involved in. I added the majority in to the drawing.
I’ve prepped the art and it’s ready for watercolor. I’ll get to painting it soon and post it here.
Today on the drawing board: Cats and balloons!

This is art I was working on today for a small animated personal piece I’m doing for Thursday. More about that in a couple days.
I’m just creating a few drawings for the very short piece. I’ll add color and piece it together in Photoshop.

May 28th, 2014 – Today on the #drawing board: Watercolor caricature!
by Rob Smith, Jr. on May.28, 2014, under Caricatures, Cartooning
Here’s the finished watercolor version of the penciled artwork I showed yesterday. I admit I made an error with the bag of recycled cans over the shoulder of the fellow. Had to do this one pretty quickly and lost my concentration of rendering the fellow’s shoulder and the bag. Fixed it the best I could.
