Opal is so fun to work with. Her expressions can really lift a page sometimes. In this one, she is judging you….what did you do to annoy her? :P

Evil Queen Eclair is ready for the next edition of Coffee Party, coming later this summer :)
Villains are just more fun to draw, do you agree?

I’m slowly trying to learn Japanese again, and one thing I love about working on Coffee Party is having the chance to practice sound effects with kana. It’s just so fun to draw sounds this way.
Do you also really enjoy Japanese sound effects in manga?

This Sunday is national day here in Norway. Each year I try to improve my my use of colours when I draw by drawing something special for the day. This year’s challenge: evening colours

Onee-tron is one of the silliest joke characters I’ve introduced to Coffee Party, but she is a lot of fun to work with. She’s got more layers than expected for a robotic parody of high-school manga tropes :P

Back to drawing Naomi, or in this case a younger version of her before she started wearing her wings. I had to keep forcing myself *not* to draw the wings out of habit :P

Probably the last WIP of this before 17th May. Still experimenting with «sunset» colours. Hopefully have it done in time :)

Kayla is character that I enjoy getting a second chance to work on. In such a heavy story it’s nice to have a more light-hearted attitude come forward, even if the context is alas also tragic.

A WIP of my upcoming 17th May special. Experimenting with an evening sky before I work out the character’s colours.

This year’s 17th of May drawing is coming along. I need to workout the colours for it, which is something I always like to practice when I can.

During my redraws of this manga I’m trying to build out the relationships between the characters and to give them more time. It’s easy to forget about when you are in a rush to make pages. Short moments like these can be just as important as the plot.

I like to start early on my Norway-day special. This needs to be done by May. She’s going to be an update of the one I did in 2023 :)

The very beginnings of my next 17th May Special. I like to take my time with these and try to improve from previous attempts.

We’re back to drawing Anita. This is from a redraw of a Rakkan page where I’m redesigning some elements and keeping others. I did however want to keep the original emotion of the scene.
