Next I take my mockup of the toon and put it back on the good old lightbox and begin to ink it in. This time being maticulous with the lines getting the weight I want in the strokes. I use the Faber-Castell Pitt brush pen for this. Oh I forgot to say that I draw my finished cartoon on Stathmore Bristol vellum 11×14 getting two toon per page and cut them down. Once I draw them still thinking of what to use as a background, and yes I am a glutton for punishment doing the coloring and background this way because it takes longer but I will explain in the coloring blog. anywho. Once I have done all this fitle-farting around and the art is finished I slap that baby on my scanner and scan them in at 300 ppi.
