    Is that a jell-o mold?!

    1) I like simple tools. There are these PaperMate Flair pens you can buy on Amazon for 50 cents each or something. They're kind of like felt-tipped markers with a fine point. I draw on copier paper. Seriously—I was the least glamorous illustrator in the world. For years, my sketchbook was a 3-ring binder with hole-punched copier paper. I don't do much with fancy textures or thick medias. I just need something to get lines down, so I can scan them in.

    2) I scan or redraw in Photoshop. If you want to fool around, Kyle Webster has some AMAZING photoshop brushes to purchase for a couple bucks.

      A good caption of that GIF would be: I am jelly :)

      That guy has some seriously amazing brushes for a good price, thanks for the tip!

      P.S. Thank you for The Shape of Design, I thoroughly enjoyed it.
