Here is all of my equipment:



Of these, the only things you really require are a pencil, and eraser, a knife and the glue(and paper of course). I also have carbon paper (the black sheet of paper) which makes tracing my drawings onto the proper paper a bajillion times easier, and i kind of need to do it that way to make sure the comic panels are all the right size etc in relation to each other, since i draw up a template on some separate paper first.

The blue paper is cardstock, which is what i use 99% of the time! it's nice and thick and holds it's shape well, in addition to coming in a variety of colours. I also use scrapbooking paper for patterns and i used tissue paper for some clouds in the page i just finished. Anything goes, really :>

Under that is a regular mechanical pencil to avoid sharpening forever and my knives. I use the larger one for precision work because it handles sharp turns better even though it's likely to snap, and the small knife goes through the paper like it's butter so i use that for outlines. There's also my glue bottle, which has a special tiny nib which I'm 99% sure is the end part of a mechanical pencil :B

I also have special tweezers with what are essentially two needles as the tip to pick things up (handy for working as small as i do). I have stabbed myself on them so many times it's not funny, vs once ever with my knives.

Under that, your standard eraser and metal ruler so it doesn't get sliced up by my knives, and adhesive foam squares which give it a bit of depth. :>

edit: oh and the cutting mat! My one is a3 but the one pictured is one of the class ones. It's huge which is great but the surface is a lot harder than my one and it's eating through blades like crazy. >:l
