Practice Sketch 200129

I was such a procrastinator growing up - scenarios like this happened more often than I'd like to admit. My parents would get furious!😡

Practice Sketch 200128

Nights like this seemed to last forever!🤪

Practice Sketch 200125 2

Innocent children's game, or panic attack influence for many of us? Still was one of my least favorite games in P.E. class: #dodgeball 😅

I wanted to channel my inner "Tex Avery" by drawing Zack in extreme panic.

Weekday blues 😞

Practice Sketch 200122

I remember how much fun I had watching my breath during the colder winter days. Now...not quite as fun! Brrr! 😬

Practice Sketch 200121

Always a pleasant surprise when the teacher decided to show a movie for class 🎥

Practice Sketch 200120

I was so brutal with my backpacks - swinging them around, stuffing them with as many school books as they could hold - they would never last the entire school year before falling apart.

Test Panel 200119

One last test drawing/panel for the evening. Adding color was probably the hardest part - I chose to try a different method than I typically use, and it ended up taking way longer than I thought it would.

Practice 200119

One of my mottos as a child...😂

Test 200119

This morning was an opportunity to test the scale of my drawings. I purposely drew larger than I typically do just to see what it looks like in my panel templates.

Occupational hazard. 😉

Loneliness is a one-sided see-saw. 😔

Distractions 😍❤😍❤

I took a few extra minutes to scan the drawing and test it against my graphic templates.

After the weekend, it can be a little tough switching gears Monday morning. 😅

Practice Sketch 200112

Don't get me wrong...I am enjoying the warmer weather, but I miss having the leaves on the trees 🍃

Practice Sketch 200111 2

Hard to believe we had 5" of snow on the ground just a couple days ago. What great weather this weekend! Hope everyone got an opportunity to enjoy the warmer temperatures!

And yes, I wore shorts today. 😉😎

Practice Sketch 200111

I was never a straight "A" student, but that didn't stop a few wandering eyes from looking in the direction of my paper come test time. 😉

Practice Sketch 200108

My favorite part of my early school days - recess! It was always a treat when the teacher would let us go outside to play! 😄

Test Cartoon 200106

Another test cartoon I had an opportunity to work on tonight.

Just when you think it'll be a uneventful school day...

A sketch of Zack on a swing set. Just another exercise in layout design for my cartoons.

Practice Sketch 200103

Short week...I'll take it! 😅

Practice Sketch 200102

When your parents have to work early, you tend to be one of the first children at school. Sometimes, it felt like I had quite a wait before the other children started to arrive for school.

Practice Sketch 200101

Today's practice sketch (working on a basic layout).

One of the cool things about the house I grew up in..we had a swing set.
