Wouldn’t it be cool to open up a comic book and see this as the first page? Wouldn’t it also be cool if 7 additional equally-finished pages were right behind it? It suuure would.

Ok, I think I’m back to inking digitally. One of the cool things you can do in Clip Studio is easily create perspective guides. It’s a great time to be a hack!

I know everyone’s sick of looking at the same handful of panels, but I’m still experimenting with ink. I liked the look of my Elmo cartoon yesterday, which was done with my Kuretake brush pen. Its softness lends itself to looser, thicker lines, so even if I’m tracing a pencil drawing, it’s bound to feel less stiff. There’s still a part of me that wants to get that smooth crowquill look of, say, Blondie or Pogo, but at my current skill level I should probably either go for the looser look, or give up and ink on the computer.
