Drawing Day '09

Hi everyone!! June 6th is Drawing Day 2009. Held on the first week of June of each year, the purpose of Drawing Day is to remind everyone about the joy of putting pencil or pen to paper. In order to participate you need only to create a drawing, even something as simple as a stick figure and to share it online on a website such as deviantART or upload it to a host like Photobucket and share the link on a journal.

Odopod Sketch Application



The sketch application by the digital design company Odopod is a nifty little tool that allows one to create neat little drawings in flash. It's simple like Tegaki E, however, retains the look of actual sketchbook! Which makes for some interesting textured pieces.

Artist Profile: Katie Shanahan

Katie Shanahan is a 25 year old graduate from Sheridan College, with a diploma in Classical Animation. Hailing from Toronto she moved to Ottawa after school where she worked as an animator (both in Flash and traditionally) before moving back home to Toronto where she's been happily employed as a designer and storyboard revisionist. On the web she's known by some as Kt Shy and is best know for her work on the comic Shrub Monkeys. What’s captivating about Katie’s work is the sense of emotion she’s able to convey whether it is one of her hilarious comics or a full blown illustration.
