Probably ought to start out with a pencil sketch at first, so that changes can be made ... perhaps a #3 lead. Then use any pen that feels good in the hands. == The above answer is correct, but does not provide enough information. When you are cartooning, you use a pencil. The shapes are simple, but the final "inking" is a separate process. Cartooning involves character development which can be tricky. If you are developing a character, your hand must develop the "feel" of the character in your memory. There is a process for drawing your own cartoon. The strip artists at work today are instantly identifiable by their work. They worked many hours and days to develop their style. While another artist can copy their work, the orgional artists are the ones who can dash out a drawing of their cartoon with no effort. What you need to do is to work your character until it is part of your memory and it comes out the same every time before you consider using pens for your work. The number three lead is excellent for leaving a light line as a guide. These "guide" lines are the "map" for inking. Inking is the process of making the cartoon permanent. It involves tracing the character in pen, getting ready for final publication. Most artists ink their Cartoons only in the final phases of their piece...after all, you can't erase pen! There are several brands of color pens available. Find the one that yeilds the results you want. As the above answerer points out, it must feel good in your hand. Farber makes one that I like, but there are many on the market. Take your time to find your brand. Just like jeans, there is one out there that "fits" you. May your work be fulfilling and fruitful. Take your time to learn your craft, and always look for the materials that best suit you.
