Inking by me **** updated 2-12-07 ****

Post by x-omatic »

Seeing all the posts by Anthony in various stages, I decided to also share my progress on "practice" inks.

Here is one I just started the other day. The pencils are very tight and by Al Rio.

Here is what I have inked so far. I decided to do the figure with a brush (Windsor Newton series 7 #3) to create a softer feel. The rest is being inked with a crow quill (hunt 107). I use 2 inks. For brush I like Higgins Ultra Black. For Quill I like Higgins T-100 drafting film ink.

I love seing them develop. An animated gif of maybe 10 stages from pencils only to finished drawing would be cool.
