The nuts and bolts of how I draw my cartoons is pretty basic.  I start off by being nuts, so I get these ideas (voices really) in my head.  I bolt to my notebook and write them down, or sketch them out.  I like to work with a 9mm mechanical pencil for the sketches.  For the pens I like the Sakura Pigma Brush pen.  I used to use nibs and India ink, but I found I hated to clean them up, and the nibs would sometimes clog.  The brush pen gives a nice line and there is no clean up.  I also use the Sakura Micron 08, and 05 for finer details.  Once scanned I use PhotoShop. 

Below is the anatomy of a cartoon.  This is a simplified tour of the steps I go through when I make a cartoon.  The first box is out of my sketchbook.  I like to write down, or make a real quick sketch of an idea.  On this particular one I cannot recall what led me to this concept.  The middle is a clearer drawing.  From there I make a final drawing in ink.  I scan that and make any corrections, add color and put it on the web.
