the inking

Its happening everyday...somewhere, someone is inking. Inking someone else's work, or maybe their own.
In this case, its the latter. Just a glimpse into my inking process. Working on a story for ZOMBIE TALES #8 for BOOM! STUDIOS. In the video I'm using a DELETER-MARU pen nib, and a Japanese-PILOT, 2 sided calligraphy pen.

Sooooo much respect for this. I can't ink for balls, let alone with a metal nib.

@milkjamjuice Thanks! At first it feels funky, using nibs. But now I'm as used to it, as I am with a tech pen.

can i ask why you used the score that went to signs(M. Night Shyamalan's movie)

it really doesnt suit your video, but i like the vid none the less and i like the kitty cat. :3

@ZekeNLutherfan1995 Thanks! I like the music because it had the "creepie" mood I wanted to go with zombie story I was illustrating. A nice Danny Elfman/ Beetlejuice vibe to it.

@ZekeNLutherfan1995 ... And because of the film "The Happening" came out at the time. So "The Inking" was decided for the title.

@MATTCOSSIN that cool then, just wondering :)

@vollsticks Oh yeah, I did get a starter set from Akadot. Pretty good stuff.

@vollsticks Glad you like it! Thanks again!

@vollsticks Thanks! I probably could switch up the nibs sooner than 22 pages, since they do get a little dull.  But yeah, I'm a little gentler with 'em.
