This is a character I’ve been thinking about for some time–not sure I have her yet. Nothing to do with today’s #Storystorm idea, but a better use of my time!

Day 18
This is a “Girl Who Cried Monster” story. Didn’t you HATE no one believing you as a child?!? (Pair with Day 13?)
Day 17
This #Storystorm idea is based on memories of my father showing me how animation works. When I was around four, he made me a little flip book: it was a stick figure of a man in a bowler hat kicking a football–as he kicked, his hat fell off his head backwards, and the ball went spiraling off in the other direction. Today, I thought I would try to make a 3D character out of the little stick figure, but this little guy showed up instead!
Day 16
This is a “new member of the family” story, based on my sweet grand-dog Mabel and her relationship with three cat siblings. Mabel wants to play, and the cats aren’t having it.
Day 15
Sometimes they start very small. This sketch is actually something I’m looking forward to developing. 🙂
Day 14
The prompts for this #sketchsquall challenge are the ideas gathered during January’s #Storystorm–so Day 14 reflects whatever i was thing on January 14. It just happened that my idea on that day was about holding on. This is an important concept for me–the necessity of finding a way to hold on in tough times. Finding someone to hug seemed to work happily with Valentine’s Day.
Day 13
So this is pretty much the entire #Storystorm idea for day 13. I think it might be fun to develop–maybe as a board book?
Day 12
Aside
Another dead end for today’s #Storystorm idea. So I have defaulted to a sketch of a sea creature.
Day 11
This idea started out as “falling behind.” Many of my #Storystorm ideas tended to be negative this year. So this is my attempt to turn it around: if you’re falling behind, I wish you someone who will wait and offer a helping hand.
Day 10
This was going to be about Distraction–as a bad thing. How you’re trying to do your best, but keep getting distracted. But as I was sketching, I was keeping an eye on the impeachment trial, with the new, horrific, video evidence. So then it was going to be a child watching tv, and this spirit of distraction trying to protect him. But that was too dark for me. So now there’s a child reading, and the Distraction Monster is more of a happy Imagination figure. Better? I don’t know.
