In comics, after the pencil lines are erased, all that remains is the ink drawing-so it has to be done right. This course will present a variety of techniques (such as hatching, dry brush and wash) and tools (including quill pen, brush and technical pen). Inking can be demanding, and you will learn how to relax and enjoy the process while keeping an eye toward improvement. Emphasis will be placed on preparation, as well as pencilling styles that anticipate your inking technique. NOTE: Please bring a sketchbook (11x14"), 2B pencils and samples of your work to the first session.
