I drew this one so long ago for my first run that now these girl’s situations are more or less radically different than when I started hanging out with them. It was bound to happen, but still, real life character development is some of the strangest stuff when you think about it.
hey i was wondering….
what did you use to ink these?
I use Pigma Micron Pens: http://www.sakuraofamerica.com/Pen-Archival
They’re fairly expensive pen-price-wise, but the quality can’t be beat.
For these older comics, I got into a habit of making the borders with 08 pens (thick), outlining the main parts of the body with a 05 pen (medium) and doing the features with a 03 (small), then the backgrounds with a smaller 02 pen.
Nowadays I take a step down, outlining the box borders with a 05, drawing the main body with an 03, and doing everything else with an 02. Makes a bigger, better difference, at least to me.
The only problem with using these pens is that the quality of ink wanes if you have heavily penciled roughs. That’s why I go a Charles Schultz route and do very light, freeform layouts before going back over with a pen.
Hope this helps
OH
so you don’t do any digital inking?
but that does help
THANK YOU.
Cool ain’t it? That’s the first thing I thought when I saw Brooks’ Powpows: “It must be digital or something…”
@Kirun – Nope, I’m still learning the ropes on digital stuff, but Rodriguez has the smoothest digital lines ever. Very envious of that lol
@Rod – You’re a good man, Rod. Have any other days off this week besides Monday?
How bout today mothah fuckuh?
Actually, Monday, I have work. :[
@Rod – I’m in Indiana right now otherwise I would haha… there has to be another day this week that you’d at the very least want to hang out for a lunch or something
@masso IT IS COOL the lines are so clean that they kind of look digital.
