Basilisk and Cassowary
Thank you very much for the wonderful suggestions everyone! Particularly to Stasis for naming the basilisk, because I really enjoyed painting it!

Lots of fun painting the background on this one! I am looking forward to lots of background painting this year!

Atlantic Puffin - Inktober #1
We have arrived! First Falsetober down, 30 to go! Here is the list I have compiled from all of your suggestions. Thank you once again! I had a few tough decisions to make because I really wanted to draw them all.
I am selling the original inktobers like I do every year in my store...

Welcome to all the new patrons! I'm so glad you're all here.
I'll be posting my inktober prompt list hopefully early tomorrow with the first painting of the month! I'm very excited for inktober this year, thank you to everyone who left a suggestion. I think there's a good mix of dinosaurs in there.

Patreon Perks Update
Hi everyone! I’m super excited to announce that I've been working on refining the Patreon page and trying to be more regular and offer more enjoyable perks. SO! Here’s what’s new, starting today:
- I will post one extra comic every week–for patrons only! I usually post one comic a week online, but this will be a second comic just for the KneesHeads 🐤. You may have noticed that I ... 2020-09-28 17:04:33 +0000 UTC View Post
I don't either
Hey friends! Don't forget to leave a suggestion for this year's False Knees Inktober! Theme is "Modern Dinosaur" so any bird or reptile or comically sad looking frog (maybe). You can comment your suggestion on this or the previous few posts. Thanks! Looking forward to it!

I feel bad disparaging Caxi but am heartened by the fact that she will likely never learn to read nor comprehend two dimensional representations of herself.

Hi everyone! Melodie here. October is on the horizon, which means Inktober is too!
For those who don’t know, Inktober is a yearly event in which artists challenge themselves to draw something every single day for a month. It doesn’t matter what - there are lists of prompts you can follow, but you can also draw whatever you like - the intent is really to push yourself as an artist. It’s great for improving your skill, because it forces you to practice it everyday, which is what you...

Last weekend we went on a canoe portage trip and had a nice break from the kids (cats). Stargazing, skinny-dipping, lily-paddling, we did it all! Let's go again.

I understand that reference
Oh hi there!
I thought it would be fun to share some examples of how I use reference images for my comics. Back in March, we made a post about one comic that I used dozens of reference images for. But often it isn't that complicated! I have been making an effort to use fewer images from the internet...

Pals!
Tomorrow at 2pm EDT I will be starting an online auction for an original gouache painting on INSTAGRAM. All profits will be donated. More info will be available then!

Sometimes the creative juices don't flow, and sometimes they don't flow for quite a while. It felt really good to finish this comic.
Back in the swing of things, with some exciting False Knees store-related announcements by the end of next week!

Recently I've seen people sharing art they made however many years ago beside their current work. So yesterday I thought it would be fun/awful to dig through my archives (boxes of loose paper in the basement) to revisit old drawings and do the same. It turned into a bit of a deep dive that took up most of my day. Though I've never drawn a lot at any single time in my life, it turns out 25+ years of doing a hobby adds up!
So, the following is a chronology of doodles and pieces I've made...
New art print in progress
Hello folks!
I wanted to show you a sneak peek of a new art print Josh has been working on. This one will join the series of prints with the Horned Owl, Grackle and Robin he has made already. He had made a crow art print that was a limited edition only, but it was so popular it ran out of stock really fast and people have been asking for another crow ever since! So he decided to make a Raven poster next :)
It's not done yet, as comics and other projects have temporarily take...

Hello everyone!
It's been a month since the last post and I want to apologize for that - I just came back to work full-time in April after being part-time for the past year and so it's getting harder to find time to write these posts. But I'll still do my best to show you behind-the-scenes of False Knees Corp. :) I have a bunch of ideas for what to show you later this month.
Josh has been streaming quite a lot on Twitch over the last month. It has become a really fun and regular h...

Beauty is relative
Here's the latest False Knees–and the first one done entirely live! (Over a couple days)
I will likely be doing lots of livestreams in the days to come. If you'd like to hang out, chat, and watch me draw, you can follow me on Twitch (https://www.twitch.tv/falseknees) and you will be notified whenever I go live.
:)
Twitch doodles
Josh has been really enjoying streaming since last week! I noticed he's drawing for longer stretches at a time, and it makes drawing less of a lonely activity since people can chat and interact with him while he's drawing. It's really cool!
He's been taking viewer's suggestions on what to draw and I know he's been having a ton of fun with it. I thought you might like to see some of the things he's been drawing (those are actually digital sketches drawn on an iPad):
