The 4th Commandment of Cartooning

Ok, here’s commandment #4 of The Commandments of Cartooning:

4. Thou shalt..draw with pencil first, not inks.

This one is a no-brainer. I look at drawing like a sculptor, where you’re throwing everything out that isn’t the statue. Only after you finalize your lines with a pencil do you lay the inks down. Often times I only erase my lines after I lay down the India ink or Faber-Castells.

So what do you think? Do you agree? Do you start cartooning with inks right away like a madman? Some pro artists do, I still think they’re crazy!
