Haha, it's not a problem! I love drawing the comic, so it's not a big deal, it just takes up a lot of time and when RL is crazy it's hard to get back into the comic ~headspace. But it's fun, and I really love doing it.

I love hearing what other artists use! I think it is very interesting. I use either Micron drawing pens or Prismacolor pigment pens (depending what I can actually find that still has ink in it) for the characters and speech bubbles, and Faber-Castell brush pens for coloring in their hair and any shadows or whatever, and for darkening the panel borders.

I like using traditional india ink on my own time, when I'm painting or drawing, or whatever, but I find it a little unwieldy for something like this, especially since I'm drawing on regular computer paper so I don't have a lot of room to work on the tiny details with something like a brush. And it also takes a much longer time to do, even though it's really fun.
