How To Ink Comic Books

[@claytonemery]

Always great to watch an expert work. I'm fooling around inking other people's work, had no idea how to start. The idea of constantly spinning the page hadn't even occurred to me! So thanks.

[@panzerpatriot4920]

I recently bought that pilot pen,G-TEC-C3 (0.15 mm),thanks to this video, its a best gel pen ever! I cant understand why it isnt so populair..thanks again!

I have always been a big fan of Richard Bennett. Thank you for posting this awesome video!

[@CrossTheLine1000]

best vid of inks. Got many tips and stuff answered here that i could not get from other vids.

[@yougoodguy]

Glad to hear that!

[@Pneuma777]

I know the feels about the 0.5 pens. I am constantly frustrated by not being able to do extremely fine details with it so I have a 0.3 and 0.1 on hand just for that.

[@jeanclaudedelaronde]

Great Stuff! Richard should do some storyboard tutorials! ;-) Good work on these Tutorials.

[@docslummp]

[@lina9161]

Very nice

[@Adrian-nf3dp]

Amazing! I've been doing pencils for a while now and I'm only 15. I've been wanting to ink my work but kind of scared I'm going to mess up and ruin it. Any suggestions ?

[@andrewhdemarest]

dont ink your only copy, scan it and ink a print out, or do what he did and ink on a layer taped over the original.

[@yougoodguy]

What Andrew said :) Ink a decent copy or do what Richard is doing in the video. Eventually, though, I think you will have the skill and the confidence to ink directly over the pencils.

[@Adrian-nf3dp]

+Ian Hannin +Andrew Demarest Thank you guys. Really appreciate it!

[@TheHotaru93]

What a great video!

[@yougoodguy]

+Miguel Perez Thanks, man!

[@ETN-bh1qb]

Why would you ink on another sheet of paper instead of inking over the pencils?

[@estebanquezada9943]

Hello ser, I was wondering if you could tell the standard measure of a typical comic book page for drawing.

[@yougoodguy]

Hi, Esteban, you probably want 11x17, but do a search on Amazon and see what your options are.

[@estebanquezada9943]

Can you please recommend me a type or brand of paper especially made for drawing?

[@MrAdamFerris]

Esteban Quezada I like 11 x 17 inch Strathmore Smooth. There are ones made for comics with blue guide lines, but this paper is better and if you're printing on it you won't need the guides.

[@estebanquezada9943]

Great, thanks for the advice, regards from Chile

[@MagpieInGravesfield]

what ball pen do you use ?

[@zed9918]

what paper are you using? i hate it when my ink spread in my paper, giving a look of dirty lineart. I want your paper pls tell me what paper is that.

[@dominic6010]

Pure talent!😎 ure so cool.

[@Yoni123]

What if you don't have a lightbed? just in on top of pencils and then erase pencils?

[@yougoodguy]

+Video Game Intros Yeah, that's a perfectly fine way to go.

[@comrade3186]

Get a Glass table, fix your mobile flash under it. Done!!!

[@tejkamartstudio]

did you used separate sheet for inking which paper we can use for it ?

[@shawz10]

How did you get this great video? Did you film this yourself, or is it from a dvd or online art class? Thanks!

[@yougoodguy]

We shot this tutorial together :) Glad you like!

[@xLuiKangx007]

That's so cool

[@honeyblue1438]

The pen your using is called pilot G tec c4 but I know there are other size number pen.

[@tcbailw1]

Is that vellum? I was asked to ink a few storyboards and I do not have a lightbox. What are some of the standard equipment for this project???

[@yougoodguy]

Will Bailey Hey Will, that's just plain 11x17 Bristol. It's not very porous, otherwise the ink might spider out.

[@tcbailw1]

Thank you! Any suggestions for paper if I don't have access to a light box?

[@yougoodguy]

Sorry, Will, missed this. I don't, actually. I'd push you to pinch your pennies til you could get the light box. Skip Starbucks for a week and get one of these... www.amazon.com/HomCom-LED-Light-Tracing-Table/dp/B00IPUHKYQ/ref=sr_1_11?ie=UTF8&qid=1442375309&sr=8-11&keywords=light+box

[@jannchavez9257]

I'm just curious, why you didn't just ink strait up from the pencil drawing?

[@yougoodguy]

+joachim chavez This method allows Richard to keep the pencils and allows him the flexibility to deviate from the pencils if he chooses to.

[@jannchavez9257]

Ian Hannin I've watched your videos about pencil, inking and coloring. How much time you guys consume on a single page?

[@oirenka5223]

Very good!

[@yougoodguy]

Thank you, Oi Renka!

[@oirenka5223]

Ian Hannin No, thank you for showing a quality work!

[@RobertSmith-es2gh]

Just bought the pen, waiting for Amazon for delivery....

[@mexicanseagull7157]

Robert Schmidt what was it called?

[@RobertSmith-es2gh]

It's this one here. Very thin though, not a big fan of it. But for intricate lines very good, and of course for tech and mechas. www.amazon.com/Pilot-Ballpoint-Hi-Tec-Black-LH-20C5-B/dp/B0016YUGVC

[@youtuber-452]

0.5 thin haha i sometimes like to use 0.05 hairlines.

[@TaylorBlack0]

I feel like the fine liner pen you're using leaves too much of a "sketchy" look to the piece. For some things, that works but not really digging it on this. Wouldn't a quill for most of that process leave a cleaner, easier to manipulate line?

[@yougoodguy]

Sure, a quill would be cleaner. Richard is very experienced with quill. I imagine he got the exact look he was going for though.

[@TaylorBlack0]

Oh whoops, didn't read the summary. Silly me.
