Hello!
Josh has been having playing with drawing in a different style on his iPad (he usually draws everything the traditional way, using a pen and watercolour). I thought those drafts were really cool - they're so different from his usual style, yet somehow retain his "touch"! See for yourself:

Last week when I went out to get bread, I was practically tripping over birds! In the space of about 20 minutes I saw ELEVEN (!!) species of birds! (!!!) Most of them winter in the area and none of them are particularly rare, but I was sort of floored by the biodiversity that can exist within a city. It also made me realize t...

Took me a while to be satisfied with the way this one looked, but here it is! :)

I said you could look forward to a bunny comic this past weekend, but it's taking longer to paint the bunny than expected! Josh spent all day on it today (and a bunch during the weekend too) and I think he's just really enjoying painting a million different little lines. He drew this one bigger than his usual comics just so h...

Good morning folks!
Today I'd like to continue the series on documenting the process Joshua goes through to create comics. For reference here are the previous posts about the rhythm, sketches and dialogue and about 2020-03-06 14:54:01 +0000 UTC View Post
Hi everyone!
Josh has been drawing with a friend over the past few weekends, and they have started doing an exercise where they have only 3 minutes to draw. He has really been enjoying this exercise so he's been doing it all week, and his sketches are super cool, I thought you'd like them too!

This past weekend, it was February 1st. Like every year, this meant that it was Hourly Comic Day! And like every year, Josh had forgotten about it until the morning of. Haha!
He hasn't always followed it (it can be hard to clear out a whole day to just improv-draw when you haven't planned to), but this year he did...

Josh has started properly designing the images that you voted on, and that will go on T-Shirts this year. It's still a work-in-progress, but I'm so excited to see them that I wanted to show you while he's working on them. Here's the bunny with detailed lining:

Hi friends!
We hope everyone had nice holidays! Josh is getting back into the swing of things and coming into the new year keen on trying different techniques and media because he likes to switch things up. I'll let him explain:
I usually draw black lines (the outline of characters, speech bubbles and dialogue, an...

Happy solstice everyone! Above is a picture of our Norfolk Island Pine all dressed up 😊If you’re in the Northern hemisphere, you’ve made it through the longest night! And if you’re in the Southern hemisphere, I hope you’re keeping cool. We’re thinking about you, Australia!

This week's "contest" is inspired by Josh's most recent comic:

Hi! Today's #ThankYouPatrons day! So Josh made this little comic.
However, when talking about it together, that didn't seem enough of a thank you. So he decided to organize a ✨ giveaway ✨ to thank you for your support!! IMPORTANT EDIT: This is not a simple giveaway anymore, as it is against Patreon's terms o...

Hi folks!
A short update this week. Josh's been working on an owl comic. It's almost done... Here are some try-out painting and sketches he's made (it's going to be a colourful one!)

Helloooo Patrons!
Inktober is finally over (Josh is working on the last one, a Bobcat, right now). If you haven't seen them, you can find all his drawings on his Instagram, Facebook, and Twitter accounts. This year was great and I hope you've been having as much fun as we have with all the prompts. A funny consequence o...

The final Inktober prompts are here, and they're great! I'm really proud of Josh because he hasn't fallen behind or dropped the challenge this year, despite setting a really high bar for himself (he can be a bit of a perfectionist, and those lines are time-consuming). It's exciting to see him set time aside every day to draw....

We're halfway through October, which means the trees are putting on a magnificent colour show here in Southern Ontario, and that Josh is almost halfway done with Inktober! It's taking a lot of time (~3h each day) but he says it's really good practice for black and white paintings, and that he's already seeing himself improve....

Welcome to all the new Patrons, thanks for joining us! And thank you to all of you for submitting more prompts throughout the week! I hope you've been enjoying Josh's Inktober drawings. :)

Thank you to everyone that has submitted prompts! We love them!! You're making this so fun. Please enjoy this video of a nervous Josh (he doesn't love being on camera) drawing 7 species for this week's prompts.
As a reminder - we'll keep all the prompts that have not been drawn yet for the rest of the month, but y...

Well, Josh and I were chatting last night, and we got on the topic of Inktober, which starts next week. For those who don’t know, Inktober is a month-long artistic challenge where people commit to drawing something everyday according to a predefined list of pro...

Hi FK fans!
Wow, we got close to a 100 voters on the TShirts- that's awesome!! We kept checking the tally through the week, and it looks like several designs were really neck-to-neck. I'm happy to announce the winning designs that will make it to TShirts in the coming months:

It's been a hectic few weeks here at False Knees Corp. I got really sick with a stomach bug for a week, and Josh has been suffering from tendonitis in his wrist for the past month, which is really scary for an artist! I think it's mostly due to the Apple mouse he's been using, which is stylish, but it may be...

Hello Patrons!! ❤️
Last week, Josh was out on a fishing trip in Northern Ontario with some of his family. As you might have guessed from his comics, he is quite the animal lover, so he didn't fish much - but he made tons of paintings while he was on the boat! To make these he went straight to paint - no sketching.&n...
