Description
Ok, I didn't want to call this a WIP, cuz I have too many of those at the moment
...Rather, a preview of what I hope to have done by the weekend. I usually take 2-3 hours on a Rocafort piece, and I'm into this one for 3 so far...Anyways, working this to keep working my nib and practicing throwing my lines.
Cheers!
*EDIT*
Yay....halfway there! I think I'm going to cut these and butt them together before I finish. Any advice would be cool, cuz this is my first double spread.
I still half to do some clean up, will go through them both on the finish.
*EDIT*
Ok....I said my prayers and hoped that I did my alignment right in PS when I printed these out...because I figured I had to cut these babies and butt them together. I think it all worked. I taped them and inked the butt joint, then pulled it apart again for convenience of inking the second half.
Phew...man, it feels like I accomplished so much, then I sit back and look and say, gez...I got a ways to go still!
Almost there....

Wow, this is amazing. Nice and solid lines. Line weight is so precise. And you even managed to make it look cohesive despite everything that's going on in here. Looks really professional. Keep it up ;]

It's coming along really well. A little heads up though, at least for me on my 2 page spreads, they rarely ever completely line up 100%. You may need to do some digital editing to get it perfectly flush

Thank-you....I think it's all good. I cut them and lined them up as I inked to be sure. So now when I scan them in, it should be fine.

I wish I could spend hours on a piece like this...but I have a two month old little girl. So I'm usually up late at night drawing. The only thing I can't stand is not having a drafting table anymore.....it's driving me bonkers LOL.

Haha...I wish I had time too! I have 3 girls. I don't get to start working on anything till 10:30 or 11 pm...makes for some late late nights!! I built an art table for my daughter and I to share, best investment ever

I used to try and draw during the day...but that's useless. Draw a line, feed her, draw a line, burp her, draw a line, rock her to sleep. It's hard trying to do both at the same time.

I really like getting a glimps of what it looks like when you do the things you do. It looks very nice. I feel like i want to stick my hand in there and try your gear lol.
your qote:
- "Well, remember I'm just the inker...tracing Ken's lines"-
You shouldn't be and you are not! A good inker is NOT a tracer lol. You are a good inker.
Listen! At one point when I was illustrating a book I traced my own drawings over a lightboard to correct some misstakes when i was pressed for time and I couldn't even make that look right. They ended up looking lifeless and not me'ish.
My own freekin drawings!! lol
and yes jupiter is very gifted
