There's something sexy about brushes.

I never could ink my pictures with normal brushes, so I took a tablet. It's pretty good now, but still I don't have a firm hand. I mean in tablet I can zoom my pic a lot and ink it, but if it was in normal size it would go all trmbly. I don't know why that happens, maybe it's for the lack of experience, I don't know, could you advice something for me to do about it? Thanks.

I use inking pens but I suck at inking. ill have an awesome drawing when I pencil and then ill screw it up when I try to ink. How can u get a super thin line with the pens?

@altairateu I don't know about anyone else but when I'm doing comic pages I never kill the original and just make a copy of it to ink. If I make a mistake, I'd just make another copy. It's all about trial and error and trying your best to to make less mistakes. Using white ink can correct mistakes too!

I'm so slow when it comes to inking. I'm scared I'll make a huge mistake so I work extra carefully...maybe too carefully D:

what i dont like about brushes is that they leave a stroke mark and layers.
