Smart Dummies Downloadable Booklet
You can use a mechanical pencil, but I’ve had them break so often on me that I try not to rely on these entirely. If you don’t have easy access to printer paper you can use lined paper or a sketchbook for sketching. Printer paper is ideal because you will need white paper to do your final sketching. It’s also easier to scan later.
If you plan on using the computer for your art I still suggest starting on paper. You’ll be able to connect with your story more if you start with paper. I will be talking more about programs and apps later.
