Experimenting with the process of light pencil sketch, marker color, and then ink.
But the Tombow markers that I used for the skin tone roughed up the paper, making the ink blob and feather.
To the extent that I'm not posting a full shot of this drawing because it Does Not Look Good.

Experimenting with putting down color before line.

Sketchbook pieces while at work.
Never sure if I like markers or not. Should probably try them out with paper specifically for markers...

Practicing putting down color/shadow before putting down line – which is the exact opposite of how I normally work.
Not the worst thing I’ve ever drawn.

Trying to brute force my way thru artist’s block by just making myself draw.

there are a lot of them, so they’re going under the cut...
Anonymous said: Your comics are great, I really love your art style and your sense of humor.
Thank you!
Anonymous said: Therapist Bobby Hill sounds a lot better than my therapist tbh. (Hey there love your art you are amazing!)
Thanks!
If your therapist is NOT working for you and you have the option/ability -- get a different one. Some therapists are shitty, some therapists are good therapists, but just not for you. I know it can feel shameful, like you’re “quitting,” but the right therapist can make a big difference. I’ve seen 5 therapists over the years. 1st therapist was awesome, but eventually I had an issue she wasn’t versed in, so she helped me look for a new therapist. 2nd therapist was cool with me, but my parents hated her... and it was family therapy so that wasn’t working. 3rd therapist was AWFUL, I saw her for 4 sessions and then never went back. Therapists 4 and 5 were also awesome, and I found them by “shopping around” and making sure I was seeing someone versed in the issues I had.
But I totally get if you’re not in a place where you can do that, and you have my sympathy.
Anonymous said: hey your art is just super wonderful and soothing and it makes me cry and I love it so much please keep on doing it
Thank you! And I plan on keeping it up. When I’m not being steam-rolled by grad school. lol.
Anonymous said: for a sec while I was reading the sequel to the first comic I was like "Noooo.... but... CONNIE", then I thought "Oh well, this is ok too, no big deal", but surprise! also Connie! ha ha, anyway awesome job, thank you
You’re welcome! There’s no way I could leave out Connie, she’s so cool. And I feel like she’s the kind of person who would be pragmatic and chill about being in a poly relationship.
Anonymous said: So I was a little confused by your cartoon marriage counseling comic at first. I hadn't seen a comic about abuse and relatonship problems populated, completely seriously, by cartoon characters. But I actually really like it! Keep up the good work dude. (also, i saw on an old response that you deal with compulsive skin picking? i totally know that feeling.)
I’m glad you liked the comic! And good luck with the skin picking. It is NOT fun. I’ve had some luck with keeping a fidget toy at my work desk so I have something to do with my hands when I get the urge.
@kdotjay-draws-and-reblogs said: mr. panic, can i call you mr. panic? how do i become... cool?
Well... be an incredibly anxious, neurotic high school student with no social life and really good grades, go to art school for a year, drop out, go back to school for a psych degree, go to punk & metal house shows but still be a neurotic, anxious, grade-grubbing mess, realize you’re trans, start HRT, move to the other side of the country for grad school, make a comic based on an idea you had in a class on family systems therapy, have the comic go viral and then... that’s how you... become cool?
@angstyboi said: "Clients names have been omitted." Holy fuck that comic was awesome.
Thank you!
I don’t think many people get the original caption I put on the comic tho... It’s not meant to say you’re not supposed to know who the characters are or act like I did a good job disguising who they are (lol), it’s meant to reference psychological literature/studies, where you remove/alter identifying information of clients.
Anonymous said: That Therapy comic you made was beautiful. I literally cried and I haven't stopped because it's so good. That was amazing and I hope you have plans for more in the future. It really spoke to me personally.
Thank you so much for taking the time to write me.
@hannahology said: I came across your Therapist RJ Hill comic again after a long while, and it still hits me hard. Then I explored the other things you've published. You do amazing work. Have you ever considered doing a series of Dr. Hill's sessions with other fictional characters?
Thank you for taking the time to go through my stuff! That actually means a lot.
I don’t have any specific plans to return to the comic. I might in the future if inspiration strikes. I’ve been wanting to get back into sci-fi/fantasy stories, like I used to do in middle school, and I’m finding it surprisingly difficult.
My first truly articulated doll, capable of standing and posing!

I never grew up with Simpsons, King on the Hill and avoided Family guy I have little understandings of the first two compared to family guy I wanted to say your comic and art are amazing they feel like they have such heavy lesson to learn and your statement attached about your art and personal identity give me a lot of hope for me and my own art so thank you for sharing it with us all 💕
Thank you for sending me such a nice message! Honestly, the biggest compliments are hearing that my work inspired someone else or that it helped them emotionally. ( ᐛ )و
Hey I just wanted to say I found your comic again-the relationship counseling one, and it's helped me through a bunch of stuff.
I’m glad it could help you. If you’re in a position where you’re not able to/comfortable with seeing a therapist, I totally understand. If you have the opportunity to see a therapist or join a support group, I do recommend it. If the responses to my comic (responses like yours) have shown me anything, it’s that there are a lot of people out there who can relate to these feelings and experiences, and we don’t have to go it alone on working this shit out.

trying not to have an anxiety attack with regard to... like... the world
the cactus’ legs turned out a bit wonky, but I’m learning and experimenting
also, you can expect to see more dolls on here because uhhh... they're actually part of my master's thesis research.

maskedjoker replied to your photoset: I really hope this is a joke. I don’t think it’s a very good message for men to clean better by saying “women deserve better” I mean seriously. Again, if it’s truly only a joke and not at all serious fine. But if it isnt. This particular chapter is meant somewhat facetiously. I mean, the most important thing I learned since going on testosterone was not that people with hairy butts need to wipe more; I’ve learned and realized far more important things.
That said... I don’t see how “men should clean their asses for the good of the world and the comfort of their partners” is not a good message.
Well, clearly, I’ve peaked as an artist.

Really pleased with this page so far.
Once this comic is done, it’ll be over 40 pages. Longest comic I’ve done since middle school, when me and a friend made a comic about an elf and her puppy, who had wings for ears.<
