June Toons 2024 #23: Friendly Robot

 Martin · 239 days
A cartoon illustration of a simple robot smiling and waving at the viewer. The robot has a rectangular head with wide eyes and a wide, angular smile. There is a small antenna on the top of its head, with a round red ball at the end. The robot has a short neck and long arms made of a light gray, jointed metal, and a long red body that continues out of view. His body has a square door on the front. His left arm is up in the air, with his simple clawed hand waving. There are three white lines emanating from his head, and the drawing is set over a light blue background with a light blue cutting through it diagonally.

This June Toons cartoon might look a little familiar if you've been following me for along time, as I'm fairly certain I've drawn him before. I used to draw him a lot, many years ago, in little notes I would leave for my wife to find during her work day. I love robots, and it was an easy character to draw and have fun with. I have a lot of fond memories of 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.

June Toons 2024 #21: Solstice

 Martin · 241 days

Today's June Toons cartoon is an homage to the Summer Solstice - which I think happened yesterday? Either way, the moon is not happy about this.

As always, this was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Smooth Natural Nib brush for linework, and the Soft air brush, Rough Dot Shader 45/Light, and Rough Dot Shader 60/Blowout for shading. The nib and dot shader brushes are from the Rusty Nib brush pack from True Grit Texture Supply.

June Toons 2024 #19: Sandwich

 Martin · 243 days
A cartoon illustration of a man enjoying a sandwich. The man is stubby and has a medium complexion. His eyes are closed and his head is tipped back, mouth open. You can see a wad of chewed up sandwich inside his mouth. He is wearing a light blue shirt decorated with splotchy lighter blue flowers. He is holding up a sandwich in his right hand, and it has a large bite taken out of it. White lines emanate off his head and a red heart is floating in the air between the man and his sandwich. The background is a pale orange with a large splatter of white spray paint centered behind the man.

I was thinking of a buddy of mine when I made today's June Toons cartoon - we share a love for sandwiches. Who doesn't love a good sandwich, though? 😄

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 Fat Nozzle spray paint brush for background texture.

June Toons 2024 #17: Peanut Butter Jelly Time

 Martin · 245 days
A cartoon illustration of an anthropomorphic banana with bulging round eyes and lanky limbs standing against a wall and smoking a blunt. His arms and legs are crossed, and his eyes are half closed. He is looking at the viewer. His peel is starting to show signs of aging, and he is blowing out a small cloud of green smoke from the corner of his mouth. He is standing against a somewhat abstract background that is just an outline of a wall and another wall running past it, with shades of blue running diagonally across.

Today's June Toons cartoon is of the little banana guy from the old "It's Peanut Butter Jelly Time" Flash video taking a much-needed break.

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching and the Smooth Natural Nib brush for everything else. That one is from the Rusty Nib brush pack, from True Grit Texture Supply.

June Toons 2024 #15: Run Cowboy, Run!

 Martin · 247 days
A cartoon illustration of a cowboy desperately running from something. The cowboy is lanky and proportioned in a very wiry way, with a bean-shaped head and body, and very thin arms and legs. His long nose is blowing back in the wind, and his pants, which are way too wide, are held up by suspenders. His hat is flying off behind him. He is colored in an unrealistic way, with turquoise skin and blue hair. His clothes are shades of green and brown. In the background is a desert, with distant mesas, and a large setting sun.

Today's June Toons cartoon is of a cowboy running. From what? I don't know, but he's desperate to get away from it!

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Soft air brush for gradients, and the Smooth Natural Nib for linework. That one is from the Rusty Nib pack from True Grit Texture Supply.

June Toons 2024 #14: Elephant In A Boat

 Martin · 248 days
A cartoon illustration of a large elephant sitting in a tiny boat. The boat is capsizing from the weight of the elephant, and the edge of the rim is barely above the water. The elephant is gray and has a detached, sullen look on his face. The water extends all the way to the horizon, and roofs and trees are sticking up from the water. The water is an aqua color with wavy lines flowing over it. The sky is a pale-blue with large white clouds overhead and a pale-yellow sun.

Today's June Toons cartoon is an elephant sitting in a boat... but not for much longer! 😮

This last week was a blur of work, but it's still kind of hard to believe that I've been working on this project for two weeks already. Time is flyin'!

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 Soft air brush for gradients, and the Fat Nozzle spray paint brush for texture.
