DAY 5: PUTTING IT TOGETHER

Now in the twenty-first century, desktop publishing and the internet are changing how cartoonists work. Though some still prefer the traditional look of inked comics, others are using a wide range of media such as: charcoal, paint, collage, colored pencil, and a whole array of digital techniques. These days anything goes!
