Brush inking demonstration over a face drawn by Terrell Bobbett (issue #1 of Spider-Man Family, page 11, panel 4).

I use a Winsor Newton Series 7 finest sable #3 brush.

The ink I use is an FW black and FW white ink.

The paper is a 300 series Strathmore Bristol board.

  • Damnz, that is pro.

  • @LolVermillion Thanks! :D

  • @LolVermillion Is inking difficult? Because people say its just tracing, what's your take on that?

  • @LolVermillion It's difficult in a few ways. One is deciding the best method for getting depth within a piece while maintaining a balance of line weights throughout the entire page and book. That gets tricky. Another is when you have pencils to work over that are merely sketches. Those are sometimes fun, because you have a lot more control over the final outcome of the piece, but when you're under a tight deadline... not so fun. And of course, mastering either the brush, quill, or both. :)

  • If you notice he doesn't the guys cheek gets smudged. But this can easily be corrected digitally or with whiteout ink.

  • @Epochofeno Very true on all account, good sir. :)

  • How are people able to do this with paint brushes?

  • OHHHH!!

  • @TheColeDawg do you print the penciled image straight onto the bristol board?

  • Tune. Nice work

  • ColeDawg - When you make a mistake, do you use white FW ink or regular Liquid Paper? Which is better?

  • Oh man, I thought he was doing all of this without a sketch. Watched it a second time and was less amazed, but still pretty hot.
