Fran -- I'm not sure if you'll see this, but a note about the brush pen (or anything that uses cartridges): You can refill those. JetPens and Goulet have syringes that are used for cleaning fountain pens, but you can use any fountain-pen friendly ink in them, and carefully refill cartridges, too. I use a pentel brush pen for almost everything, and I've never bought a cartridge -- I just refill the one that came with it, which I washed out in the sink, and replaced with Carbon Black ink, since it's waterproof. Less expensive that way, and less plastic in the landfill. I've also refilled other pens - as long as they have a cartridge, you can refill it. Just make sure the ink is fountain pen friendly, as india inks will dry in the pen and make it unusable. Carbon Black and Diamine's document black are ones I've tried (prefer the CB), and Rohrer & Klingner's SKETCH series work too. (I found that series' black to be a little greyer, but it dries super fast, and comes in some interesting colors, all waterproof.) Not that any of this will help you now that your project has started and you need consistency, but for the next one, it's something to keep in mind. :D

Hey Fran, Ticonderoga pencils are named after Ticonderoga, New York. Dixon Ticonderoga was founded in 1827. Ticonderoga (the town) had graphite mines, hence the name! Ticonderoga is an Iroquis word meaning "between the two waters," and the town rests between two lakes!

Also with the Kuretake brush pens (I’m sure all of them?) you should be able to get ahold of a Platinum piston converter if you want to be extra good for the environment and use ink from a bottle rather than the cartridges (or you can also always refill the cartridges with bottled ink with a syringe!). I really love my Kuretake brush pens.

Fran, me encanta cuando recomiendas materiales de arte y dibujo. Yo me quedé traumada de la única vez que estuve en NY fui a Muji y compré 2 brush pens baratísimos ahí y me enamoré plenamente de ellos, en mi país ni de chiste los encuentro. Los guardé de recuerdo porque ya tiene varios años y no les queda tinta. Sobre las gomas cuando dijiste 3 en mi cabeza se me hizo bastante lógico y yo también usaba la normal, la apachurrable y el mono zero, es la triada sagrada. Besos y abrazos!

Ha! When I drew comics way back years ago (not as a professional, though I was published here and there in independent publications), I ALWAYS preferred the 4H pencil...yes, 4H. The point held up longer, it was easier and less messy to erase, and it allowed for drawing without any carbon dust accumulating or smearing on the Bristol board. When I drew from life at the Art Students League in Manhattan, I mostly used NuPastels or conte crayons, and graphite relatively seldom. (However, in reviewing my old life drawings, I see I did some nice drawings in graphite...probably 2H or HB pencils.

Algo que a mí me ha servido en cuanto a lápices, es usar el prismacolor col erase en azul (el azul común o azul claro, no el que dice que no se escanea porque es demasiado claro) para el sketch de las viñetas y usar un color azul común para dibujar los márgenes La limpieza final en Photoshop es mucho más fácil (al menos para mí) con ese método. Igual varios artistas de comic americano usaban el azul para sus primeros trazos

I literally just decided to start practicing comics and pen/ink drawing and bought some goodies this past weekend. Such great timing for this video! I got Strathmoore 300 series vellum based bristol and it's really nice smooth but subtly toothy it feels awesome. However I usually use microns or those firm tipped brush pens. Have not tried any dip pen or paint brush on it yet. Anyway thank you for this video because I can never stop splurging on supplies lol Also tombow tiny eraser is the best thing ever! Maybe it's considered mechanical eraser?
