Q&A: the gear and software I actually use

The question I get most: what do you draw on? Honest answer — it matters far less than people think, but here's the setup.

• A mid-range tablet I've had for four years

• Procreate for sketching, a desktop app for finishing

• A second-hand monitor I color-calibrate once a month

Buy the cheapest thing that doesn't get in your way, then spend the rest on time to practice.
