Yesterday I did a cartoon for Father's Day. For today's June Toons, I present a Dad Joke: say hello to "Baby Shark"!

I can practically hear all the groaning. 😆

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 Old Beach brush and Splatter and Flicks spray paint brushes for background texture.

For my eighteenth June Toons illustration, I draw a father and son giraffe. Happy Father's Day!

As always, 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 Old Beach brush and Soft air brush for background texture. I'm posting each finished illustration at my website.

My seventeenth illustration for June Toons is a very excited purple bunny! 🐰

I had a tough time getting the shading where I wanted it with this one, since the form of the bunny's face is so nonsensical. I like how it turned out though, and I'm glad I took some extra time at the end to tweak it a bit.

This is my sixteenth illustration for June Toons and marks the beginning of the second half of the project. I don't know what inspired me to draw this, but this one is of a big dude lifting a heavy box.

If I've learned anything from this project so far, it's that I really like utilizing outlines now, and I feel like they can often really give the art the pop that it needs at the end.

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 watch the time-lapse, you'll also see that I attempted to get some spray paint brushes in there at one point near the end, but I thought the effect made the circle look too much like the moon, so I ended up not using them.

Here's my fifteenth illustration for June Toons - a very happy fish, slurping a drink.

I had a lot of work to do today and my time for drawing ran a little thin, so I had to keep things simple. I do like where this ended up, though!

My fourteenth illustration for June Toons is a happy couple going camping. That's two weeks of cartoons down, and one more day to go for the halfway point in this project. That went by fast!

For this June Toons illustration, I followed a community-created prompt from @Curator@mastodon.art. The actual prompt was "Ostropus", but I thought I'd have more fun just drawing both animals together. Enjoy the highwire act!

My twelfth illustration for June Toons is of a bird and his worm: two inseparable best friends!

I wasn't really feeling this one once I started coloring it, but I saw it through. You'll see a lot of experimentation in the time-lapse, especially on the bird's shading and the background. Hopefully I'm feeling more inspired tomorrow!

This is my eleventh illustration for June Toons. I guess I'm continuing the theme of, uh, drinking stuff with this one?

This was created in Procreate with an iPad Pro and Apple Pencil, using the Procreate Pencil brush for sketching, the Syrup brush for everything else. If you watch the time-lapse, you will see some experimentation with the Flicks spray paint brush and the Inka brush in there too, but they didn't stick this time.

My tenth illustration for June Toons is a wrestler chugging an energy drink!

I barely made it under the wire with this one! I sketched it and got the lines down earlier in the day, but didn't have time to color it until late, and ended up getting into a lot of detail with it. I like how it turned out though!
