I got a comment recently from someone who’s not able to start comics because they can’t afford a tablet and I want to shout from the rooftops that you don’t need fancy gear to make a comic!!! Both Dead City and Gender Slices were completely traditional (aside from some grey tones in Dead City).
I love traditional work. I love pens. I love ink.
Go grab some paper, grab a pen, and get started on your comic!!!
Comic templates for 6×9 size comics made by me for my “Ins and Outs of Webcomics” info comic.
Templates include .png, .psd and .csp files. Dpi is listed in template names.
My souvenir goal for Japan was to buy myself a really nice fancy pen and I succeeded! This is a Sailor Profit 1911 21k with a zoom nib, it’s kind of like a fude and the nib is really neat.
Hey and if you want to learn about fountain pens, maybe check out the zine I did with my good pal Amiel
Is Pawlik… your real surname? It feels… fake… Like… Lick paw… Paw lick… Pawlik… I’m sorry… I just needed to ask…
Pawlik is my real last name, it’s a Ukrainian last name. And I have heard all the jokes. Believe me. I’m not sure why I’d make up something like that.
Hey, I was wondering, what pens do you ink your comics with?
ohhboyyyy!!! this is my kind of question!
It changes up every so often. I did a post about how I make comics about a year ago now: here
And now I use different pens, which I’ve also started reviewing on my patreon.
But right now my favourites are:
Sailor Fude de Mannen 55
Kuretake 13
Pilot Metropolitan
Fountain Pen Revolution flex Guru
So I hope those are some good recs for you, I’m always ready to talk about pens!
