Chewing Pencils

I came across Comic Tools by MK Reed this week, a blog devoted to sharing what tools and media cartoonists’ use to produce their work

For example, this little bit about pencils from artist Matthew Bernier:

I hate sharpening pencils, and I hate reloading pencils. My solution? Paper mate Sharpwriters. Disposable yellow plastic pieces of crap, they have #2 HB lead and a pleasant springiness. I bite the eraser off when I start a new one, because the eraser is useless, and I chew on the back of all my tools.

There’s only a few artists up there at present, but even so the information is fascinating.

Go and visit and have a look around!
