Emilie, I think that the best tool is: the brain…

Happy works…

I couldn’t live without my erasers.

But Paco is right.
“Think with your brain.” TM

(Hey, is it cool that the image looks tilted or what.)

Really smart…
first tool: brain
second tool: paper and pencil
third tool: mac with freehand 7 + phontographer 4

Warm regards…

I use a frying pan.

since i’m only a ripoff artist… the scanner. LOL

Hrant,

It does look tilted… god darn optical illusions making me dizzy… :-)

My favorite tool is my eyes

I enjoy sketching with an H pencil on butter paper. For a fihished sketch I usually use a sharp 6H pencil.

Here is a typeface I am working on.
I am waiting for PanLab 5.
What do you think about the kerning ?

Oho. Notable pencil.

Don’t forget the CNS and an endocrine system for flavor. A brain by itself won’t help much. Skin is good

paco, that was a pretty *smart* answer.
