June Toons 2025 #1: It’s Back!

Martin · 1 day (10:11 PM · Jun 1, 2025)

With another June comes another June Toons, a month-long project where I create a new cartoon illustration every day of June!

Will I be able to keep up? We'll see! 😆

A cartoon illustration of the words "June toons". The o's in 'toons' are made from the bugged-out eyes of a green dog. The dog looks confused and has his tongue hanging out the side of his mouth. His head is much larger than his body. He has a blue nose, ears, collar, and tail. His eyes are slightly bloodshot. The words are colored in pink with orange streaks and bright blue highlights at the bottom. The background is purple with a round, pink highlight behind the cog and words. There are small sketches of faces, stars, and other doodles around the end of the highlight. The background is textured as if someone puffed spray paint onto it.

In the meantime, here's the first illustration, which will serve as the title card for the project.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Smooth Natural Nib for linework, the Inka and Rusty Nib 1 brush for details, the Soft air brush for shading, and the Fat Nozzle spray paint brush for background texture.

The Smooth Natural Nib and Rusty Nib 1 brushes are from the Rusty Nib pack by True Grit Texture Supply.

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

I'd love it if you'd follow along with me for June as I create all of these things, and I'm happy to answer any questions you might have about the process, my inspiration, etc. Join me!
