I'm old school. In the same way humans have for at least 67,800 years, I make marks with something runny on a flattish surface.
My ludditism lies in my love of the tactility of the pencils, pens and brushes I use caressing and snagging on the paper. I also like the jeopardy, dancing with deadlines or not knowing if doing that wash in that way at this point is going to work or completely ruin the image.
From blank sheet of paper to completion, it takes around six hours for each cartoon.
How Ella produces her extraordinary work is a total mystery to me. I've long appreciated she's special, with seriously mad shit in her head she can get out on to a screen to share with us. But if she spent for ever telling us how she does it, it would still be like someone screaming Sanskrit into a pillow for all the sense it made to me.
My Trump No 2 is older, flappier, fleshier and madder than the first iteration 10 years ago. I'm still using just as much orange paint though.
**Ella Baron**
I draw with a Wacom Cintiq tablet and stylus. It's frustrating when people say this isn't drawing by hand: I have hands and my stylus is more sensitive to pressure and barrel rotation than an ordinary pen. I don't have any formal art training, but grew up drawing digitally as part of the first generation with easy access to that technology.
You don't make smudges when you draw on a screen, but you do make mistakes. The outlines of previous forms are a record of your hand movements and lend dynamism to the figures they represent. I think it's good to leave them in.
When I'm drawing a political cartoon I'm always slightly in awe of the fact I'm working from and into a tradition.
