@Knute Hello! Also a skateboard beginner and professional cartoonist here. :D

@Laburrini hey, I like your stuff! Do you do everything - pencils, ink and colour? You drew for Mad Magazine?? That’s a dream of mine. I grew up reading Mad. I hope to be as prolific as you one day. And I’m excited to meet another beginner skateboarder 👊🛹 Having fun?

@Knute Thank you for your kind words! Yes, I drew for MAD and yes I do pencils, inks, colors and write my own stories. I need skateboarding as a balance to drawind, and I'm having so much fun. Where do you skate? :D

@Laburrini nice, I like to do everything myself too. Though I’m more focused on pencils. Do you have a favourite part of the process? I just skate flat areas near my home. Getting comfortable riding around on the board before learning tricks. I’m interested in street rather than vert. And you?

@Knute Right now I'm fascinated with watercolor, so I'm concentrating on colors. But I like every part of the process. :D And I'm also still getting comfy on my board, practising on a miniramp and doing my first rocket ollies. Do you have any nice skate parks to try out later around your area?

@Laburrini watercolour can be a great medium. I’ve never played with it much. I’m colour blind so I tend I to work without colour! There’s an artist I love, a fellow Mad Magazine artist in fact, called Hermann Mejia. He uses watercolour brilliantly. Rocket ollies, hell yeah, sounds awesome. Did you build the miniramp yourself? There are some skateparks near me, yes. I’m too nervous to go just yet… I will eventually. 😅

@Knute Oooh, Hermann Mejia is amazingly talented, I agree.
And no, I did not build the miniramp. It's owned by the city of Cologne. Thankfully all the locals are supernice. Where are you located? :3

@Laburrini oh cool. I’d rather not be too specific on my location, but for now I’m in Australia. The skate culture here, from what I see, isn’t as rich as in Europe or North America sadly.
