Today's June Toons cartoon is of a fish in a disposable soda cup, pleading for help through the cup's straw.
I had the idea for this one a few nights ago, but I didn't actually feel like making it until today. I like how it turned out, though I wonder if it might've benefitted from a little more detail in the background - I sort of like how a lot of these, so far, have had the paint spatters/noise. But I also liked how clean it looked so... it is what it is.
That's one week of June Toons down already, by the way! I struggled once or twice to come up with something to draw, but overall, this project has been pretty effortless so far (at least, in terms of brainstorming). I'm looking forward to what the next week might bring!
Anyway, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for linework, and the Inka brush for a little added texture.
If you'd like to see how I drew this one, you can watch the time-lapse below:
Also, if you're interested in watching the other time-lapses in this series, I've got a playlist for that.
Thanks for following along so far!
