I'm starting to move towards using Brush Pens to ink in artwork now and they are a lot quicker to use. Wish I'd discovered them earlier before working on Damned Dirty Apes!
Hey, whatever works for you! Personally I find technical pens great for doing the lettering and the edges of the frames, but they do require a bit of looking after, are quite expensive and you don't get a varied line with them. Dippy pens are tricky to use but dead cheap and ace when you get the hang of them.
What an interesting conversation. Lets chat about the pros and cons of paper thicknesses next!
Hello! It's a dippy ink pen, a bit like what Shakespeare writes with. There's an inkwell just out of the shot that I would have been using. Usually it goes wrong and ink bleeds out of it all over the page.

Hey Alex! what's that wonderful yodelling track that plays over this vid?

@darwindoeseliza Hello! Glad you appreciate yodelling. It's a track from 'yodelling songs of the alps' called 'appenzeller yodel'. Isn't it great?

cool vid-all that ink came out of just one pen? working with tippex for hours in confined space will take you on a TRIPpex. Ho ho ho!
