Description My first tutorial
I finally got around to doing a tutorial for how I ink since so many people have asked.

I included lots of pictures for people whose primary language may not be English, but can still use it and follow along.

I fail at the computer stuff. Seriously. But that makes me appreciate the digital stuff more in a way

I love getting complements on my inking (as I feel us inkers are a little under appreciated sometimes lol WE'RE NOT TRACERS!!!)

You sure do put a lot of work into your drawings, more than I have in the past. But that's surely why they come out so well. I can relate to those little things that can go wrong too. XD Thanks for sharing this, I'm sure some of it will come in handy when I ever seriously decide to work on another traditional piece.

ChaosComix In reply to TL-97 [2011-02-01 03:37:41 +0000 UTC]

I know O_O
It's probably why it takes me weeks to get anything done >.<
Most welcome! And let me know when you do and if this helps!!!

TL-97 In reply to ChaosComix [2011-02-01 04:10:45 +0000 UTC]

The extra work you put into them shows though, so keep it up.
And sure, it's been a while since I've posted anything here. But hopefully I'll get back into working on someting in a little while.
