I don't really know of any reference books; I usually just look up whatever I need specifically on the internet or whatever. Sometimes, I'll buy something from the Bargain Books section at a bookstore - they usually have cheap books on a variety of stuff (I just bought a book about lizards. Hey, I might need it someday, right?). If anyone else has a suggestion for Rivaldo, please leave a comment... No, Rivaldo, you’re not boring me.

I hope I'm not boring you, but do you know any visual reference books? [about clothes, weapons, building, architeture, etc.] Thanks a lot. I'm your fan. Hello, Dani.

I bout a Wacom Graphire 4 a year ago because I was excited about drawing and tricking out my webcomic, but I couldn't make it work for me. Until today, that is. You've made my tablet 250 well spent, and I couldn't be Happier. Thanks! Hey, I just wanted to thank you.

I've been drawing solely with a Wacom for years (aside from paper doodles) and never really thought of trying to emulate a pencil sketch stage. When you can erase your virtual inks it seems easier just to start on the ink stage. But this is fun, maybe there is something to bringing in that rough pencil feel to help get your idea down before you commit to it. One note, in comics usually pencilers don't shade in the bigger black areas, or spot blacks, but instead outline the area and then put an 'x' there as an indication to the inker to fill it with black. I guess this is probably to save pencillers time as they can be the slowest part of the process. Cool Tutorial!
