I have carried around a sketch book with me forever so when and idea hits I don’t have to draw it on a napkin, except at Yetti’s restaurant where I draw on the place mats. So in this book I have from the beginnings of ideas to full drawn strips and i usually use my handy-dandy Bic ball point pens i have stolen from hotel rooms in my travels, the best one seem to be from the Army Loges, go figure! As I sit in my studio I quickly mock up a strip box 4″x13″ on scrap 11×14 which I can draw two and then go on to redrawing my cartoon from my sketchbook. and like I said some of the toons are already drawn out in my book and make a copy of the page and use the lightbox to draw up the next-to-final cartoon. paying attention to placement of characters and where the word balloons will go.
