Zebras dine out.

Another "Like Father, Like Son" cartoon.  This one started as an idea from Sam about the unfortunate state of a striped zebra sticking out among other more camouflaged prey.  I couldn't get a clear image in my head how to draw it at this format size so I re-worked it into this.
I sketched it using a pen tool in Corel Painter 11.  (Normally I start with a pencil sketch and re-trace with a pen or marker.)  I've really enjoyed the sketchy freedom of these cartoons.
As you can gather, this was all done digitally.  Since using Painter I haven't used a real pencil, pen, brush or ink for little over a year now.

Groundhog Day 2012

My son, Sam, sent this idea to me yesterday and I put it to "paper" last night.  (Actually this was made entirely on my Wacom Cintiq monitor using Corel Painter 11.)
