Periwinkle's weapon of choice is a sharp rusted pickaxe but don't worry, Grump. She's just "pretending". #BethSotelosGrump #ComicArt #ComicColoring #OGN #Comics #IndieComics #CreatorOwnedComics #SequentialArt https://www.instagram.com/p/B_X3jDcl88X/?igshid=1i1i135nnvowk

Mailing his first online book orders put a smile on Grump's face! Thanks for turning his frown upside down. #BethSotelosGrump #OGN #creatorownedcomics #indiecomics #Comics #GrumpsGallimaufry #USPS #GraphicNovel https://www.instagram.com/p/B-7hDr1FvVD/?igshid=1gppz1jjyxhxw

Grump page 46 Layout-Pencil-Color. I drew these pages on 9x12 Bristol. I thought the smaller size would be faster to get through compared to the more common 11x17 paper used for sequential art. I liked coloring these rainy pages and using the wet ground to reflect the lights coming from the bus stop. . . #BethSotelosGrump #ComicArt #Comics #creatorownedcomics #indiecomics #OriginalArt #sequentialart #OGN #processart https://www.instagram.com/p/B-hqk7mlX5x/?igshid=5ts7f379enwq

Grump page 46 Layout-Pencils-Color. I drew my pages on 9 x 12 Bristol. I thought it would keep me from getting too fussy with details using smaller paper. Instead, I used thinner pencil led and the teeniest eraser I could find. I would still choose 9 x 12 over the more common 11 x 17 for sequential art. . . #BethSotelosGrump #IndieComics #Comics #CreatorOwnedComics #OGN #processart #OriginalArt #ComicArt #sequentialart https://www.instagram.com/p/B-hoFuilRww/?igshid=5cfb2ucqbtgc

Grump gets robbed! He new he shouldn't have left the house! . Here's one of the double page spreads from Grump from Layouts to Pencils to Colors. This being my first book, I made a mistake with the pagination and needed to make a double out of a single page. Whoops! . . #BethSotelosGrump #ComicArt #Comics #creatorownedcomics #indiecomics #OriginalArt #OGN #Photoshop #sequentialart https://www.instagram.com/p/B-P1hFaFMJk/?igshid=235dkp0dkjef

Grump. The original social isolater. This is page four from Grump's graphic novel. He's been on his own for a while, making his own breakfast. . There was a long gap in between drawing the first 6 pages and the rest of the book. Because of that, I had to go back and redraw the first grump heads. . . #BethSotelosGrump #ComicArt #GraphicNovel #Comics #OriginalCharacter #OGN #indiecomics #creatorownedcomics #OriginalArt #Photoshop #ComicColoring #SelfPublished https://www.instagram.com/p/B-K1xelFB4Y/?igshid=14uw1ifs8ga88

I think i like FX's Devs more than Westworld right now. I had fun drawing this Grump/Nick Offerman combo.

Grump's Periwinkle through the years. One thing Grump, Peri and Manny have always had in common is their commitment to cosplay! Here's Peri as #WonderWoman . Anything you'd like to see them cosplay as in the future? . . #BethSotelosGrump #Sketch #SketchTradingCards #GraphicNovel #OGN #Comics #OriginalCharacter #indiecomics #DCComics #Amazonian #dianaprince #PrincesDianaOfThemyscira https://www.instagram.com/p/B9zl5ivlxVn/?igshid=19r93o0qyab1n

Grump is unprepared for his beach snack.

Here's a throwback Grump Christmas from way back in 2007! I've had a lot of fun drawing these guys for the past 12 years. Looking forward to many more! #BethSotelosGrump #originalcharacter #OGN #GraphicNovel #creatorownedcomics #indiecomics #christmas https://www.instagram.com/p/B6OPFlNFhEV/?igshid=1de54bmpcta2n

Grump wanted to feature in his own square. Next I'll post Manny to compete the set. #BethSotelosGrump #watercolor #sketch #gellyroll #ComicArt #originalcharacter #GraphicNovel #ogn #creatorownedcomics #indiecomics #Comics https://www.instagram.com/p/B5_WMoAFgwo/?igshid=1g7o2qz5dot9b

Testing out my new gold trimmed mini art boards. Here's the process from the rough sketch in my #sketchwallet to the finished, gilded square. Periwinkle was kind enough to model. #BethSotelosGrump #watercolorpainting #sketch #brushpen #gellyroll #ComicArt #originalcharacter #GraphicNovel #ogn #creatorownedcomics #indiecomics #Comics https://www.instagram.com/p/B584xhrlhZM/?igshid=tn0csir8vd2q
