Drawing supplies

Here are some basic drawing supplies for drawing your own comic strip.
(1)The number one thing you absolutely need is a regular HB No.2 pencil so that you can rough out your ideas for your comic strip.

(2)The next thing that you'll need are some black ink pens. I mainly use Precise V5 pilot and Uni-ball pens. You use black ink pens to make your comics bolder and darker  than pencil lines.

                   (3)Any ol' eraser will work fine for erasing leftover pencil lines.
                                                                                                                                                                                                          (4)&(5)A standard 1 foot ruler works fine for drawing cartoon panels. My panels are "3x3" but you can do them as big or as small as you like.
                      (6) Color is an option, but it makes your comics look much better than just black ink.
            (7) Your imagination is one of the main things that you need to make your comic as crazy as you
want. Maybe a robot dog living in the NASA space shuttle... Whatever you want...

How to draw Rek-rap.

Hey, do you want to know the secret formula for drawing Rek-rap? Well, here's your chance! #1 start with a circle and draw guidelines for his facial features. #2  draw his nose were the two lines intersect then draw a rounded triangle right above the nose to draw the eyes. #3  now put in his pupils inside the triangle. And then draw his smile, because he's happy your drawing him! #4  now draw his ears, ink it in, and erase all the guidelines, and your finished!!! REMEMBER!!! Always start with pencil!! If you make a mistake with a pen you can't erase it!!!

Cartoon emotions.

In your cartoons faces can't always be smiling :) Do you think someone would be smiling if they said, "OOOWWWW! That really hurt!!!". No, they wouldn't. They would look worried. Here's an idea, look in your mirror and make all different expressions and then put them on the paper(thanks to Bruce Blitz) Have fun!!!

It might not be March, but but it's pretty windy at our house right now. So this is what came to mind.
                                                                  Poor Rek-rap!!!

This word, "HORIZEN" is one of  the twelve rennaissance  words( Thanks Mark Kistler) they make your drawings "POP" off the page!! The  word HORIZEN is the background of your drawing, look at the cubes, see the difference??? Try expirementing with horizens, bumpy horizens, flat horizens, try all different kinds!!

And the comic of the week is...

Forshortening

Look at the pizza and the coin on the left side, they are just a plain square and a plain circle, but look at the ones on the right side, they are forshortened. Which means the shapes have been squished to look REAListic.  To see more drawing tips and words go to: www.draw3d.com.
