Description
Another walk-through here from the second issue of Abe (my favorite of the two). Again, I do things a little differently now after the many hard lessons learned from these two issues. Did I mention that this series was the first time I inked myself two issues in a row on a deadline? It was pretty much nothing but lessons! But holy cow was it rewarding, and more importantly, FUN!*Download for better size

Do you use brushes to inking?

thanks! I use brushes and technical pens (microns among others)

You develop a style very cool, very dynamic and with great presence.
I still doubt my inking. I have strong influences, very different.
I like very neat ink, thick strokes, lines and more Manga, more loose and nervous.
I'm hoping to start a job a little more staff to seek their identity.

I just picked up the 2nd issue yesterday! Great job! Freaky "hidden skull" (mom monster) towards the end! I used to do really tight pencils, but I felt 'bored' during the inking phase. So in order not to loose interest (which happens if a piece takes too long) - I keep pencils fun/ loose, and have fun AGAIN, discovering in the inks!

that's a good way to put it; discovering in the inks. When you sublimate ink to the process of tracing you can lose so much life!

Incredibly cool, your gestures are really fantastic!

Wicked cool work, thanks for the inspiration.

man, thanks for sharing. this is amazing. What changes did working on this series cause?
👍: 0 ⏩: 1
thanks, dude! After this I slowly phased out the pencilling process. I go from non-photo blue directly to ink. I'm also making more efforts to not suck at inking or drawing. Plus I do tighter layouts now so I run into less drawing problems in the later stages. There's really too many things to name. Drawing 44 pages in a row as a new guy will give you more lessons than successes and if you take those lessons to heart your bound to change.

thats awesome to hear man. Yeah, i completely omitted the pencilling stage too. saved my life really. it was when i saw a canete page in real life. I was like " wait... you can just ink over the blue?" Best of luck man. All the right people are probably already talking about you.

thanks, dude! It was a rough lesson to learn but it's saving tons of time! Which you don't have a lot of when you handle the inking chores as well.

Creepy designs! Cool that you're getting a chance to ink yourself more now.
Issue sold out here. Looking forward to tracking down a copy.

woah, that's awesome that it sold out! I would credit that to Dave Johnson's friggin' cover! ...or under-ordering.

what inking tools are you using? is this all brush, or are there technical pens involved too?
