What materials do I use to draw FoxTrot?
Currently I am using a combination of Micron Pigma permanent markers and Rapidograph pens on Strathmore 400 series smooth surface bristol board paper. I use a 2H pencil and a kneaded eraser to pencil the strips before I ink them.If you are interested in creating your own strip, it’s important that you choose materials that you’re comfortable with and that work to enhance your personal drawing style. Just because I use a particular pen doesn’t make it the “pen of choice.” Many cartoonists use brushes, many use the old-fashioned crow quill sort of pen. What’s important is that whatever you choose to use should yield a black line suitable for reproduction.
