1: My followers can finally have a printed comic by me.
2: It seemed like a fun activity to do, specially with young kids.
3: It might be cool if interweb folks shared tiny little mini comics with each other. And a whole bunch of people can print each other’s comics and maybe we could collect ones by other artists. So… ya know. Why not?
EDIT: AHH! Before I forget, I should mention that this mini comic format was created by the folks at http://www.pocketmod.com/ I came by their technique while listening to Fear the Boot, a roleplaying game podcast as they were interviewing Stuart Robertson an indie tablet top rpg designer.
If you’d like, support those folks cause they helped me discover this neat design.

Personal rule for this meme: Only one request per ask!
Rather than drawing your character standing there doing nothing over and over again, here’s 100 other ideas to put them in action and challenge yourself as an artist.
Perfect use of the Golden Spiral in composition. Everything causes your eye to flow right to the main characters. It starts with the street sign, moving to the giraffe necks, the curve of the polar bear’s back, the cheeks of the cheetah, straight to the focal point. Even in a busy, complex scene, you can easily lead the eye to what you want it to rest on.
