Live-Draw #1: Basic LoonToons
In our first LoonToons Live-Draw, we’ll practice penciling-inking-erasing four different action scenes from the summertime lakes of New Hampshire!
Live-Draw #2: Hatch Time!
Drawn during an exciting week of eggs hatching on the live-action LoonCam, we penciled & inked a 4-panel page of a loon chick hatching & diving into the nearby lake water!
Mini-Comic Special: LoonToon “Unfolder”!
A simple card design to play with our lake setting, our loon characters, & their actions.
Live-Draw #3: Diving for Fish
While the chicks are growing & learning to hunt, they depend on their parents for food & protection. Here, our chicks stick close to one parent while the other performs underwater acrobatics in search of a meal…
Live-Draw #4: Loons & Lead
Drawing a 3-panel story about a major health risk for loons!
EXTRA: “Loons on the Move”
This mini-comic session helps you keep your characters moving, from lake to lake & page to page!
