Digital Inking - Faerie Stories Comic

Pencils by: Iwan Nazif http://jo2pa2.deviantart.com

So this is just me digitally inking a page from a personal comic project of mine. I haven't really announced much about it yet, so this is sort of a sneak peek for you guys. :) I'll be announcing more about it soon at www.hueville.net

For those interested in the process, I ink a bit strangely. I use the polygonal lasso in photoshop, make my selections and then fill with black. Of course making sure I'm on a new layer above the pencils. Also I always fade the lines out to a light blue to make them easier to ink over. Also, I'm not really this fast of course, I sped it up so you could see the whole piece being inked.

YOU KNOW THESE TUTORIALS ARE OF NO HELP IF YOU LOAD THEM WITH SOME LAME ASS MUSIC AND DON'T TALK TO THE VIEWERS!!! Don't be shy talk us through help us understand.

@smoothrasin This wasn't really meant to be a tutorial. I do talk through my tutorials when I thinks its needed. For this particular thing the way I ink I would just be telling you the same thing over and over again. Crazy boring for all involved. I outline what I'm doing in the description if that interests you, that is my entire process. I use the lasso selection tools and then fill with black. That's all there is to this.

I would so love it if you'd illustrate a comic I'm making, I fail so much at making it look as good as this.

Very nice job even considering how old this video is. I'm expecting my Wacom drawing pad to come in tomorrow and I'm looking for ideas. Gonna try a bunch of methods and see what works for me. I definitely want to give this method a go.

Not only is this fantastic work, but it's very inspiring! Keep it up!

WOw, this is really cool, inking with lasso, make it look like it was inked with brush, and give a really cool look!! I'm gonna try it tomorrow. Hey please can you tell me what pencil did you use for this?

What magnification and DPI settings do you typically work with?
