WELCOME TO MY STUDIO

Plus - tools of the trade!

In response to one request to see my studio, as we’ve hit the 1000 subscribers point, here it is!

At a future point I’ll give you a guide of the art on the walls, but in the meantime, here’s one of my bookshelves, and the one I refer to most frequently…

There was a second request to talk about tools!

So my main weapon of choice, after I’ve pencilled (any pencil will do. I tend to use HB) is the wonderful Pentel pocket brushpen. It’s a brush that takes ink cartridges, so you don’t have to dip it. I’ve been using them since my friend Jon McPherson, then a Pentel rep, gave me one around 1992. I love them.

After the main bulk of the inking is done, I’ll finish off with a Pigma Micron.

Last of all I take the scanned pages into Photoshop to clean them up, sometimes rethink the page layout, and do any ‘fixes’ needed in the drawing.

Thanks for visiting!
