Joyful Drawing
I had two uninterrupted hours of drawing for myself this weekend, and it felt like this.
I’ll share more of this development piece as I finish it.

More Procreate Exploration
I’m still searching for a brush that gets the same look as my brush pens on watercolor paper, but maybe I don’t need to. Procreate might be a good tool for penciling/concepting and possibly digital painting. More playing around, more testing. But I do like this new shot of my little sage/Quatermass/Van Helsing hero.

Learning Procreate
With a loaner iPad Air I’ve been working on learning the app that so many of my friends are using for their comics and sketching. And it’s pretty neat! It wasn’t obvious to me how I could adapt the process I’ve come to lean on in Clip Studio Paint, but over time (and with the help of my students), I’m starting to figure out how it might work for me.
And I have to admit, the drawing experience on the iPad is pretty great. The 6B pencil in Procreate on the iPad is the next best thing to working with paper.
I see what they hype is about! I just need to practice and experiment a bit more to see where this might fit into my workflow and whether I might be able to include this in my classes.

Doctor Baer’s Yard Inks & Spooky Movies
Saturday was a glorious day where I had no obligations outside my studio (well, I did have to mow the lawn and weed the front walk). So most of the day was spent on creative pursuits!
My favorite Saturday nights are spent drawing while watching old horror or monster movies. Most of the time Svengoolie provides the movie, but when he’s playing something I’ve seen recently (or don’t ever want to see again), I’ll turn to Tubi. This week I found a fun Peter Cushing film from 1977 titled The Uncanny.
If you love scary movies and cats as much as I do, you might like this one. Peter Cushing plays a frightened writer with a manuscript proving that cats are truly out to get us. The manuscript is a framing device for an anthology film with three stories wherein cats create a body count (but the people always had it coming). I was happily surprised to see one of my favorite actors (and inspiration for an upcoming Doctor Baer character) Donald Pleasance was in one of the stories. It also has one of the coolest title sequences I’ve seen in a long time.
I will warn you that there is some minor disturbing gore in the first story, though.
So now I move on to flatting this piece so I can have it painted before Halloween. Fingers crossed that it won’t be as hard as it looks!
