Art is spontaneous. I inked the first in Procreate yesterday the second in Clip Studio laat week. Shows how much a drawing can change based on time and tools. #instart #makingof #makecomics #process #comicbookart #digitalinking #digitalart #clipstudiopaint #ipadproart #ipadart #artistsoninstagram #instart #portrait #sketchbook #losangeles #procreate (at Fox Plaza) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByQyPHqBeuy/?igshid=9xu4xgdmr8ot

Last of the main characters from Pauper. It's amazing how much work goes into a 4 page comic! #comics #makingof #makecomics #process #comicbooks #comicbookart #digitalinking #digitalart #clipstudiopaint #ipadproart #ipadart #artistsoninstagram #instart #portrait #sketchbook #losangeles (at Fox Plaza) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByIy6s0hOLz/?igshid=19ryggeg914y9

Middle-aged hit man from my short comic Pauper. I need to embrace Clip Studio, it feels like cheating but inking and toning go so fast! Done over sketchbook drawings. #sketchbook #sketch #clipstudiopaint #process #ipadproart #ipadart #digitalinking #digitalart (at Fox Plaza) https://www.instagram.com/p/ByDh2nMhdNQ/?igshid=jia1n16zmuhl

Monsters! I designed these buggers so I could draw a bunch of them in Periscope Bar. #creature #creaturedesign #digitalinking #digitalart #procreate #ipadproart #ipadart #artistsoninstagram #instart #process (at Fox Plaza) https://www.instagram.com/danhalecomics/p/BxNlBdGBRWL/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=14s9zeyx64opg

I used to love detail but tried to let go for speed and clarity. I added details to these two with brush pens as a test in adding details quickly. #brushpen #brushpens #sketchbook #sketch #artistsoninstagram #instasketch #instart #process #inking (at Culver City, California) https://www.instagram.com/danhalecomics/p/BxLJKEuh6Ex/?utm_source=ig_tumblr_share&igshid=sjy2wyap6p8h

Farel was the top hover-racer in the Galaxy until he bet on himself to lose and ran off with the winnings.
