My uncle has this toy that goes from kitschy to disturbing in very little time.
A life of endless torment
My favorite part is how the machinery is louder than the actual sound

Here’s a bunch of promo drawings I did during GF season 2. Other than the big promo poster, I’m not sure if these were ever finished and used for anything or not.
I remember when Alex and I were brainstorming ideas for poses, we couldn’t figure out what to do with Soos.
“Just draw him eating chips out of a bag.”
I did, and when we sent it in, the Disney marketing people were like, “We can’t imagine why we would ever need a promotional illustration of the character Soos eating chips out of a bag.” This still makes me laugh.
Masterfully appealing Mystery Shack crew drawings, the talented pen of Chris Houghton!

rockingweevil: How do you, yourself, expand on story ideas? How do you expand your writing? I think I suffer from short sentence syndrome. In my mind my ideas are mighty Oaks, and roaring rivers. My sentences on the other hand are sticks, and drops of water.
You make a roaring river with a lot of drops of water.

There was a meme going around twitter a few weeks ago, hashtag anyone can improve at drawing. People were posting old art in comparison to their most recent work, showing how anyone can improve at drawing if you put in lots of hours to develop your skills. I happily participated, because I love drawing improvement memes, they are so fun! However, I think posting an ancient 10+ year old drawing beside a shiny new one can be kind of …. I don’t know, a little misleading? Like all us artists went away to our cabin in the woods, drew like heck for 10 years and then emerged as fully formed professional artists. The meme didn’t show off the years of development and struggle, the awkward teenage years of learning to become a pro cartoonist.
Anyway, since I’m always up for spewing my awful, embarrassing old artwork on the internet (ugh, why am I like this), I wanted to do just that: the 10 pages above are about 13 years of skill development. I don’t believe art skill develops in a straight line. Like, you don’t start out at 0 and work your way directly to 100. Some years I felt like my skills were going backwards, and other years I feel like they shot forward, and I wasn’t sure why. Check the dates on the images above. There is one year’s difference between the page from Brain Camp and the page from Friends with Boys, but the artwork from Friends with Boys is so much better. Why? Because I discovered new art tools that totally changed my approach to drawing. So some years you get lucky like that. But most years you don’t, and it’s just about challenging yourself in tiny increments, trying desperately to learn.
Be in art for the long haul! This is 13 years of work. I improved very, very slowly. Some people are pro-quality cartoonists by the time they’re 23, but I wasn’t that person. I just kept going, inching forward. Anyone can improve at drawing, but some of us improve slower than others. So don’t get discouraged, just keep going. :)
