Cartooning with Mike Kunkel Week 3

This week’s objective was to sketch a gag panel cartoon based on some ideas. It was a really fun exercise that brought back many childhood memories of reading cartoons in the Sunday newspaper, especially The Far Side. I remember going to the library, borrowing Gary Larson’s books, and trying not to laugh too loudly. I chose the idea about an elephant who loves pizza and sketched several panels, exploring different camera angles and character designs. I ended up liking the one with the mother and child staring at him—it’s probably the one I can relate to the most, haha!

Cartooning with Mike Kunkel Week 2

I’m really enjoying learning from Mike Kunkel. Every time he goes over my drawings, my mind is blown. He see things that makes my drawings a hundred times better. For week 2, we were tasked with scribble sketch 3 individual stories given a few parameters. I had so much fun with this assignment and tried to let my mind go free and literally put pencil to paper. The foundation shape exercise was super tough, but it really pushed my creative brain!
