Art & Story 109 – The Big Potpourri V

Mark and I take a breather from the Your Comic From The Ground Up series to answer a few Storrior emails and voicemails this week. It’s a bit of a laid-back episode, featuring the return of some tributaries and laughs, but not at the expense of good ol’ Art & Story content.

We play a voicemail from Gerimi Burleigh, who gets us going for a bit about Sloppy Drawing and the usefulness of dry-erase boards and/or chalkboards as a brainstorming tool, but also as a means to loosen up as an illustrator.

After that we go on a bit of a long discussion on tools, based on an email we received from Shadowing Tronix. We talk about and evaluate the following art tools:

Rolling Rulers
Ruling Pens
French Curves
Clickable Erasers
Compasses
Flexible Curves
Lightboxes
Pencils – Mechanical vs. Wood
Triangles
T-Squares

If the tools we talk about sound like they might be useful, you can purchase some of them with the links below, and we get a bit of Amazon kickback for it! Yet another way to support the show.
