What are some good cartooning supplies?

Question by GiR 2.0: What are some good cartooning supplies?

I'm sorry I ask so many questions like this, but I have to know.

I know about Bristol board and am getting a refill on my eraser, but dammit, what kinds of inks or pencils or pens or WHATEVER should I use to do a God-forsaken COMIC?!

Also, how can I get some paper that comes in standard comic size of about 11x14 or so? I have to know for printing.

You can use colored pens, colored pencils or pastels, I like chalk pastels myself, they blend nicely without chemicals and you can erase some if you need to. Instead of Bristol board go with a 60lb artist paper, its not as smooth and pastels work better. As far as size goes look around for 11X14, try on-line by searching "art supplies" or go a bit larger and draw an 11X14 box on the larger sheet of paper and once your done with your work cut it to size, this gives you room in the margins for thumbnails or experimenting before marking your wok area.
