Description First off, I’d like to say that this tutorial was made in Paint, because I don’t have Photoshop, nor am I advanced in computer things, so this is easiest for me! Second, I’m just an amateur – there’s probably hundreds of "How to Draw" tutorials on dA that are a million times better than mine! But what my friends ask for, my friends get, so here’s my humble contribution. If it actually helps anyone out there improve their artwork, I’ll be surprised!

OK so here's Part 2 of my tutorial - inking! The next step will be colouring... thanks for looking!

Part 1: Sketching [link]
Part 3: Basic Colouring [link]
Part 4: Blending [link]
Part 5: Finishing Touches [link]
