Supplies to Create Comic Strip

The very first step for us to start creating our comic strip is making sure we have all of our various art supplies together. The first thing we're going to want to have on hand is a straight edge. This is going to help us draw boxes and also things like word balloons to give nice straight lines. You can go with one more of your fancy triangles from high school, or you can go with a good old ruler. Next, we're going to have a series of pens and a blue pencil. This is not a typical graphite pencil. It's actually going to have blue that you're going to be able to draw. That's very important. We don't want the traditional pencil. Half the times you can actually go out and get the mechanical pencils here to be able then to put your blue inside so you never run out. Then we're going to have a series of pens, which we're going to use for inking. There's going to be very fine felt tip pens. Also, for coloring you can various larger or smaller markers on hand to do our coloring for our comic strip. Lastly, but definitely one of the most important things we have to have, paper. I'm going to go through just normal drawing paper as well as tracing paper today.
