Hey guys, we're well under way on the ink drawings at this point. I wanted to direct you to a couple of videos keep you energized and thinking about how you can execute on your own drawings.
Shane White
This first video is from Shane White, a comic artist living out on the Left Coast. It's lengthy, but timelapsed, and gives a great look at how to ink a highly detailed piece using a fine point brush. You can see how he manipulates the brush a lot like a nib in several areas, as well as how the brush itself can add character to the mark.
He throws in a lot of "Text Over" commentary as well - mostly about his preference for materials and how long things typically take to execute - so that's pretty helpful too.

Paolo Rivera
This one is even longer (about an hour) and comes to us from Paolo Rivera, another comic artist. This video is pretty cool as the artist takes the time to actually give you a little lesson on how to ink with a paintbrush - something that we have not covered specifically in class. Rivera starts off by covering materials and reviewing how to create a variety of different marks - as well as citing their purpose. Then he dives into inking a bunch of small panels and putting those techniques to use. His commentary is great, and even though the video is longer, and may not fit into your adolescent needs for instant gratification - it's well worth the watch.
