Drawing a Halloween-themed webcomic story

During the last weeks of October, I decided to switch my webcomic from doing stories about my real life and make a fictional Halloween-themed storyline.

I did this a few years back with a ghost story and really enjoyed it.

So I thought I would try it again and this time it's an alien invasion story.

I listen to old-time radio stories when I draw

To get in the mood for the story I thought I would listen to an episode of the old-time radio horror series Suspense.

But honestly, I usually listen to old horror radio programs when I draw so this really wasn't a stretch for me. 😁

Wanted to try out a new live stream drawing setup

I also wanted to test out a new live stream drawing setup I have.

I just got a new desktop podium for my Android tablet and wanted to try it out.

So I did a live video drawing my Halloween-themed alien invasion story while goofing along to an old-time radio episode of Suspense starring Cary Grant for about 30 minutes.

Proving once again I dislike doctor visits so much that even things that remind me of it weird me out. Read all my comics as eBooks 📚 Click here to read on Amazon!

A quick peek behind-the-scenes of a new webcomic series. Coming soon!

I've recently paused my usual diary comic to dedicate my attention to an exciting new project—a fiction webcomic series featuring two characters that may be familiar to my long-time followers. These characters, Bobert and the Monster have made appearances on my website before , and now they're taking center stage. I'm working diligently with the hope of launching the series shortly. In the meantime, I'd like to share this behind-the-scenes video of the drawing process for one of the upcoming pages. Stay tuned for more updates as I bring this creative vision to life.
