FB (sigh) reminded me of this #ToonJune century of cartoon characters from three years ago. Now it's the 2020s, what would your pick be? I'd draw Steve from @Worthikids Bigtop Burger but I couldn't do the style any justice. A prefect modern cartoon imo, fully Patreon funded!

I rarely share newspaper articles because I feel awkward about them but I kind of regret not picking up a copy of Trouw with this article on Tom Poes a while ago, because of the people I'm sandwiched in between! (Paul Verhoeven talks about Tom Poes being an influence on Robocop)

Here's a few more even rougher Lolas from two months ago that I don't think I posted back then (was feeling it a bit more when I did the other ones the night before)

Character inks on paper vs. final print for the Dutch Little Golden Book "Tom Poes en de Blaasgeest". All the beautiful backgrounds and colors were done on an ipad by Tim Artz. The original comic this book is an adaptation of was first published in 1953, long before Stay Puft..

I find it kind relaxing to shave away at character poses forever, though I strive for some perfection I can never really reach. I'll be too busy for weeks/months, then finally throw on a new layer and scribble on stuff that seems obvious after not looking at if for a good while.
