A cartoon illustration of a soccer referee holding up a red card. The ref is a balding older man with a stylized conical head. He has a large nose and a five o'clock shadow. He has a medium complexion and is wearing a black short with white stripes on the shoulders and an earpiece with a microphone curving down to his mouth. His eyes are closed and his head is tilted back slightly. The ref's arm is sticking up next to his head, and it is holding up a large rectangular red card. A blur of field and stands with colorful fans is in the background. A splotch of transparent white spray paint is behind the hand holding up the red card.

Today's June Toons was inspired by the World Cup games we've been watching this weekend. I didn't actually see any red cards given, but I thought it'd be a more fun drawing than with a yellow card. 😆

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, the Inka brush for highlights, the Old Brush paint brush for shading, and the Fat Nozzle spray paint brush for background texture.

If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
