A cartoon illustration of a chess piece, the knight, which is a small bust of a horse on a tiny pedestal. The horse's eyes are bugging out and walleyed, and his tongue is sticking out of a goofy smile. The piece is a warm light gray with large blue shadows on the left side and bright shiny highlights on the right. The background is a gold color with a half circle of light behind the piece, and a faded checkerboard beneath it.

Today's June Toons is one of those ideas I've had in my brain for a while, and tonight was the night it escaped. Posting quite late because I was catching up on TV while drawing it. 😎

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching and the Syrup brush for everything else.

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