A mini comic about feeling tired, my specialist subject

I’ve been working on a few long projects lately, so sometimes I need a quick fun drawing prompt to get that spark of creativity back!

I was reading this post (link below) by Fionn McCabe about creating abstract comics in a grid and decided to have a go myself!

How I learned to stop worrying and love the grid

Here’s my mini comic about feeling tired and looking at screens all day… the less good side of doing art as a job!

Drawing this was so fun, it got my inspiration flowing! Definitely unusual for me to draw abstract panels but I think I’ll be doing it more from now on - it’s such a good way to convey a feeling or mood without spelling it out too much.

Not overthinking this comic and just filling the grid without worrying about the details gave it more energy, and I really like the outcome. Also the negative space element really unlocked something in my brain - definitely give it a go if you need a drawing boost!
