I often draw with Foam Grip Tubes from Impresa to ease my hand strain. You can buy them here: amzn.to/3KgpDXs
I use 6B and 6B pencil, some soft charcoal, a kneaded and a mechanical eraser, and a wad of paper towel. This was drawn on 100 pound Strathmore bristol board: amzn.to/3ZjTt67

    Hello from a subscriber from Brazil. I was impressed with your monster art and how detailed and hideous it is. In the future, could you make a video on how you create the arts in digital programs?Also making it clear that if you created a monster book I would definitely buy it 😅.

    @@mapcrow Im don't think I explained it properly. When I say digital arts, they are the tokens that you created of your monsters and used in foudry vtt or roll 20. I was very interested in knowing how you imported them and if you used Adobe animate or Adobe Photoshop. Anyway, I'll hit the link to see what I can find.

    Ha! I’m a full time professor, so that’s keeping me pretty busy. Plus, I’m drawing the rest of this book that we kickstarted! My podcast, Splatbook, is still running only because my cohost does most of the work!
