Story time... RIP Drew. I remember when I was a kid, one afternoon my parents took me and my sister to the movies, forget about streaming, going the movies was a BIG thing back then, we rarely used to go because it was a bit expensive for my dad... 👉 shorturl.at/Z6w5s

I wanted to share a small homage to Jane Goodall, who recently passed away. Her profound love for nature and unwavering passion were an incredible example to us all.

Rest in peace.

It's often details like sunlight filtering through leaves or steam rising from a coffee cup over a character's face that can make or break a panel. SFX in comics coloring can significantly enhance the storytelling. Follow and subscribe to CM Substack! 👉 shorturl.at/7laIk

Coloring it's not my strongest skill, but I believe that as long as we approach it as an integral part of the storytelling—and not merely a technical step or a "coloring by numbers" exercise—the results will be successful. 👉 Follow and subscribe CM! shorturl.at/TCVEi

I'm excited to share a bit about the collaborative process behind the logo for our Halloween Special. My writer initiated the idea, and after creating a few sketches, I pitched them to my designer. She then delivered an amazing execution in record time! shorturl.at/dobKG

Sometimes a pose and a model are so inspiring that I feel compelled to take a sketch to the next level. Grayscale is often that crucial step between a drawing and a full-color painting. I'm even considering taking this piece further! Follow CM Substack shorturl.at/f1kDE

The drawing process itself is fairly straightforward. The most intricate part, however, is the conceptualization—determining how to represent the core idea in an allegorical way. I hope you enjoy it! Don't forget to follow CM Substack 👉 shorturl.at/eJOZG

I couldn't resist adding some color to this piece! I find that color always helps to enhance the storytelling, he looks like he's about to jump into a volcano or something dramatic!
