Hey! Anyone that’s kept up here is aware I’ve been working on drawing skills and have focused on faces mostly. Here’s some of my latest practice drawings. We’re about two weeks in now and it feels like a lot of improvement has happened as I practice and look at real people’s faces to analyze them and see things I can fix.

Okay, no clue where I am in number of days, but here I am following up on eyes and faces. I can see that there is still improvement happening from working on these daily. I will probably not do the eyeballs everyday moving forward, and make room for working on arms, legs, and other anatomy aspects. The last two photos are from today, the others from Thursday. Goals here? To get better. For my pencils to reflect what I want to see when I draw. I want to be able to draw muscle bound superheroes, not just average people.

AND! Thumbnails are done for five of those pages now too! We are fucking moving and pumped! This morning was like the first day of summer break, and the second time we’ve started a Barricade Brigade story entering spooky season!

Chris the Long Box Punk @longboxpunk.substack.com · 13d

Wrote fully 7 pages for Barricade Brigade chapter/arc/story 1 this morning with @punkrockkris.bsky.social and man did it feel great! We should have this fully scripted by Thanksgiving!

Damn!!! I don’t think I ever had that card! You ever wonder if daddy had to leave earth because he didn’t have a straight job to pay child support with?

If I'm being honest?
My stream with @zackquaintance.bsky.social last night was exactly why I started this show. Geeking about comics in space, horror, comic creation, and laughing a LOT! MACABRE VALLEY is live, back it today (below)
Watch or listen now!

I’ve been holed up, started practicing new techniques for art, and last night I did a quick sketch of Mick from Barricade Brigade. @longboxpunk.substack.com and I are stoked the books are on their way out now, Mick is getting ready to record a new EP
