What's in My Pencilcase
Channel: Becca Hillburn: Comic Artist

Let's take a look at the tools of my trade by peeking inside my pencil case.  Although I'm primarily a comic artist and illustrator who works from home, having a mobile studio is imperative, as I travel often for shows.  I need tools and a case that can stand up to my travels, but work just as well for a more leisurely week in the studio.

I pretty much bring this blue Nomadic case everywhere I go- tucked inside totes, bundled in backpacked, or packed into purses, and it's been my constant companion for several years.  

The tools themselves are multiuse- non-photo blue lead is used in everything I do from personal sketches, to laying out thumbnails and roughs, to convention commissions, and it's probably the one thing I couldn't live without.  I carry H and B lead in .7mm, multiple pencils (although two are purely sentimental), a variety of white vinyl erasers, and lots of pens, from notetaking Sharpie pens to inking fude and brush pens.  Although the tools don't make the artist, these are the tools I rely on time and again to get the job done.
