Canson comic book art board pad (24 11x24 inch sheets) vs. my DYI original art board
Why I size comic book original art by hand instead of using comic book art pads: DYI is cheaper, I can choose high quality paper, and can customize aspect ratio. The process takes me less than 5 minutes per page. #artofthecomicbook #makecomics #inkystories #forgottenartsupplies

I'm less likely to nap, stress eat, and goof off when working in public.

John Workman's refusal to use traditional lettering height/leading guides amazes me. I've got to try this technique sometime.

Ruling pen benchmarking to make the thinnest lines possible with what I've got, a 1990s Utrecht, a 2000s Alvin, and a 1960s unnamed brand. The '60s model wins, and it's not even close! #forgottenartsupplies #rulingpen #makecomics #artofthecomicbook

Robert Crumb draws with either a Hunt 102 crowquill or a Rapid-O-Graph zero point technical pen, FW black or Pelican drawing ink on high quality smooth/plate bristol paper.

My 2015 delivery of Speedball Flicker nibs. I only needed a backup FB-6, but eventually found use for the others. #artofthecomicbook #comicbooklettering #speedballnibs #forgottenartsupplies

Original art assets and printed piece by John Romita, Spider-Man illustration for the Dallas Times Herald Sunday Magazine, 1977. Romita's style is distinctive even in the Rubylith masks. #artofthecomicbook #forgottenartsupplies #rubylith
