Gabriel,

I do all of my best renderings on trace paper….just standard trace

My favorite markers are copic sketch markers because you can erase them from trace paper….

I love prismacolor pencils….

I draw all of my linework with a combination of prismacolor black pencil and staedtler pens……

That is my basic repetoire or arsenal for…[Read more]

Who is the biggest influence on you with regard to graphics and why?

Brandon, What are your favorite media (type of paper, markers, pencils etc.) and why?

Does anybody know what water conditions are like in Northern California currently? Drought/rain wise?

I am always interested in using Ca natives and there are some really good resources around and I just thought that I would share some of that info. Here’s a list of resources in the bay area but that could be used anywhere in the state.
