It's pretty fantastic from what I've seen. :(

Aww, you're very kind :3

I would just like to get much better and I got really confused last time I inked anything - I feel like I don't know what I'm doing anymore.

i have some tutorials ^_^ you want it?

Sure, sweetheart :) Link me up!

dont have links!! x:!! but i can send you to your mail, its a tutorial to fix the lines in photoshop

Oh, okay. Sure, e-mail me :) I would like to read it.

i send it ^_^

I think you're being too hard on yourself, for reasons I can't even see here. You do very nice work.

Thank you - you're very sweet.

I'm having an inksistential crisis :3

hogod

bwahahaha

lots of different types of pens and lots of pratice making lines without actually drawing anything >.> i killed four brushpins before i got them undercontrol.

OH GOD BRUSHPENS.

I love them so much, but they are a bit unwieldy. What do you use? I've been playing with a Copic multiliner brush pen, and I like it, but my hand is really unsteady, so i end up having to clean up the lines afterward with a regular pen.

im not sure what the brand is on the brushpen at the moment XD its just one i saw and i was like 'that will come in handy when i do some caligraphy' and realized i liked it because i can thicken lines by leaning the brush a little. im still not that good with it and i dont have much of a steady paw either.

they are, however, an archival grade pen XD i do know that much

im home now and these are Faber-Castell pens ;0

Well you can just go and BLOW me! Come one! Your inking is terrific! Absolutely beautiful!

*SCHLORP SCHLORP SCHLORP*

I would have never though of my inking as beautiful, but thank you very much! I'm flattered you think so.

I just stopped in the middle of the last thing I was inking and realized that I've never been conscious of what I'm doing while I'm inking, so I got stuck, because I started to think about it. And I really haven't liked how my inks have been turning out lately. I'd like my linework to be a lot more dynamic than I think it is right now.

I ink everything with vulgar, prosaic felt tip pens...

Yeah, but everything you ink looks awesome and it goes with your style. I don't even know if I HAVE a style.

I don't need a new chisel, I need a new methodology!

This page here discuss some different methods of inking. I hope it helps.

Thank you! I have bookmarked it and I'll go over it very carefully:)

If I ever go through your gallery like I plan, I'll try and keep this in mind. But that might be sometime next century.

A cursory glance tells me this, though:

You worry too much. A style is not nearly as important to an artist as being good. Jack-of-all-trades. Honestly, I don’t see why you should stop at inking - your colored work is wonderful, and, while I understand that inking is normally an inbetween from sketch to coloration, I still wouldn’t focus your attention on every nagging detail. “These things seem to work themselves out.” as one might say. If you want me to speak of your inked-as-finished pieces, I always think that “reflection” is the better part of battle. If the inking suits the ‘tone’ of the piece (heavy, thick lines for heavy, thick men and light, airy lines for light, airhea–... you get the point) then it doesn’t matter if you’re inconsistent with regards style, as you will be more often ‘consistently good.’
