This is what Daniel thinks I look like in the morning. He’s pretty much right. But what you don’t know is that what looks like a cup of coffee is actually a cup of hot oatmeal.
Daniel is getting ready for February 1st, which is the official Hourly Comic Day, when you make a comic for every hour you’re awake about what happened to you. I agree it’s a smart idea to get your characters set beforehand, or else on Hourly Comic Day you spend all day figuring out how you want to draw things instead of actually doing things.
Therefore in church today I got started on my own characters. The top ones are of me and the bottom ones are Daniel options from which I have yet to choose.
The key is to keep them simple enough that you don’t spend the whole hour drawing what happened to you the hour before, because if you start that you end up writing comics about writing comics, and no one likes that.
This is how Daniel is going to draw us. I really like his characters. I think it is funny that my riding boots are a permanent fixture, because they aren’t. But Daniel thinks it’s hilarious when I wear them because he think I look like a superhero. Only a boy would think of superheroes when he sees knee-high boots.
Speaking of art, I sold a painting today! A follow up from the craft show, which is exciting. It’s one of my favorites from this last round of paintings that I don’t think I shared. It’s on a wood canvas so you can see the woodgrain beneath. I really love the different layering.
Happy Sunday!
I love reading your annual comics that follow your day. Also, that painting is beautiful!!
I love reading Daniel’s and your comics!
