Cartoon of boy and a growling dog. The boy says, “You can act ferocious all you want, but you still weigh ten pounds.”
My family has a dog like this. It seems the smaller the dog, the larger the attitude.
Today, I took a drawing right out of my sketchbook. I applied the color in Adobe Photoshop. It’s a sketch of a “globby” monster: The text reads, “A formless glob can do so much more than you realize. It can paly soccer if is willing to roll with the ball. It can eat most finger foods with our without fingers. It’s really a most versatile thing.”
Cartoon of a church receptionist and an angel. The receptionist says, “Even if you are Gabriel, Pastor Dave is busy.”
Illustration of an Amish man at an old PC. I drew this for Illustration Friday. This week’s word is “old-fashioned.”
When I’ve gone through Amish country, I’ve wondered how they do business in the modern world without technology. I know the different sects deal with technology differently. So is it possible there is Amish business done through an old 386 computer with 5 1/4 inch floppy disks? I’m sure someone will tell me!
I drew this in Adobe Illustrator.
I’m switching gears this week. I’m writing a book, and I want to devote my time to that instead of single panel comics.
This morning, I set up a character sheet for my main character. I had been writing about him in my sketchbook and it was time to make something more official.
I already knew the first name of the character, but how do you find a last name? One source I found is a web site called The Name Generator. It’s a good place to brainstorm. They even have an iPhone version. It’s not an app, but a stripped down version of the site.
One thing I like about it is it makes some unusual names. I can change the spelling if I wish, and immediately have a unique name that may allude to the character’s personality.
I’ll continue to update you on my progress and the tools I use.
