I have been a painter for as long as I can remember. Inking and linework have never been appealing to me. Now that I'm trying to learn it, I am overwhelmed. It's thanks to tutorials like yours that I manage to make progress.

I've seen quite a few Inking tutorials but this one is by far the most helpful. Watching how you do the brush strokes so closely is very helpful, especially watching how you blend the tapered lines together going from thin to thick. I've been trying to find a video that show me and this one is PERFECT! Thank you very much! *Subscribes

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve learned so much from it. I’m a Brazilian color artist learning new skills, and this vídeo sincerely brought me to tears in the beginning. Robson Rocha is a Brazilian comic book artist and he recently passed away due to COVID (a few months ago in fact). I feel this is also an amazing tribute to him and his amazing work. Thank you once again for this amazing video. 🥰
Hi Michelle Rezende. Thank you for the kind words. When I made this video, Robson Rocha was still around. I’m fact, after I’ve inked the piece and uploaded the video, I told Robson and he looked at the art and video. He even responded saying that’s was his old work and not as good. I told him that to me it’s really good and that’s why I wanted to ink this piece. He’s a very kind artist. Thank you again for watching and I’ll have more tutorials coming soon! Stay tuned.

Hi Gary Banner. Same with me. It’s just easier going from thin to thick. Works more gradually and more controls knowing how thin the tip of the brush is. Sometimes going from thick to thin, that brush may not snap back to a point. Thank you for watching.

Beautiful and helpful process! It's really good to see the process in real time, and knowing why the artist is making the decisions he makes gives you a clearer picture.I am an artist myself, but inking is definitive a weak aspect of my art, so watching people like you doing this is a godsend!

Oh man…my background is theme park caricatures, and we had to pencil and ink so fast, I thought cartoonists like yourself had to work lightning quick, too. You have no idea how happy and relieved I am to see you taking your time and enjoying it!
Hi Ted Bragg. Thank joy for watching my video. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Yes, when I have to ink a single regular page for a comic, it takes me between 9 to 14 hours to complete, depending on how little and how much detail. It really is a lot of work and it takes time.

You should talk more about HOW you establish where the light AND heavy inking is to take place. And, the preparation in the drawing itself, BEFORE you start inking.

As for the top of the lips, I prefer lighter, thinner lines; this provides, not only a 'break' from all those thicker lines, but a bit more realism. Even a 'Broken line' works great for the lips.
Hi Ray. Thank you for watching my video. Yes, usually when inking, I like to have the top lines thinner and sometimes broken. While the bottom lines thicker where the shadow areas are. Thanks again for watching!
Hi Jerry. Thank you again for watching my video and for this comment. Haha. That was funny. I actually don’t dip ink over the artwork usually. But in the past when I make real time inking videos, viewers ask how often I would need to dip ink. Because I was doing that off screen. So for demonstrations, I would show the camera when I would need to get ink. And believe me, it’s nerve racking when I’m holding that bottle of ink over the artwork for the camera to see. Because anything can happy and accidentally spill ink over the art. Haha.

Hi Michael! Thank you for watching my video! I’m glad it was of help! Using Pennies help lift up the ruler to give it a beveled edge. Plus, you can see through the acrylic ruler.

Hi Keith Aguilar! Yes, Copic Multiliner Pens are also pretty good. Nice and dark. They’re refillable just like all the other microns and fineliners out there.

Hi LilLadyA, yes, majority of the time when I do inking work, I’ll text my tools on a scratch piece of paper to see how it works first. Once I get it going the way I like, then I’ll start inking.

I always wipe the edge of my ruler with a tissue with some Windex on it. Because if you don't it will smear your panel boarder lines! I also always have a piece of paper underneath my hand while I'm inking. So that you don't smear the ink all over the your drawing!
Hi Loring Bush. Thank you for watching my video. I’ve seen other artist use windex to clean off their ruler to ink so the ink doesn’t smear on the paper. What I do is I’ll attach coins underneath the ruler to give it a beveled edge. To make the ruler raised up slightly. So if ink does attached itself to the ruler, it still won’t touch the paper as it’s now levitated. When I ink, I mentally keep track of where I last inked and making sure my hands stay away from the inked area so I don’t accidentally smudge the ink. Ink usual drys in less than a minute and it won’t smear afterward. Especially waterproof India ink. Now if I were to use some kind of non waterproof ink or a ball point pen ink, those ink is going to smear and I would use a paper to separate my hand from the inked area. Which is why I prefer using waterproof inking ink. Those won’t smear when dried

Awesome tutorial, and beautiful inks, Walden! You always present your videos so clearly and expertly. You do your blacks and line weights with such ease. What is your opinion of brush pens? Pentel, Micron, Faber-Castell, and Tombow make brush pens that I've considered buying and using. Thanks so much for all you do for us, and stay well, my friend!
Hi Rometiklan! Thank you for the kind words, my friend. The Aquash Brush pen that you see me using in the video is my favorite. I've tried all the other brush pens out there and they all work well. I just this Aquash Brush pen because it doesn't cost as much to replace and very little maintenance. Other brushes such as Windsor & Newton or Raphael, when I'm done inking, I would need to wash, shampoo, and condition. This brush I use, I don't even need to clean. I just keep using it over and over. Also, the Pentel, Micron, Faber-Castell, and Tombow brushes are also good for when I'm traveling or doing commissions at comic book conventions. I won't have to carry bottle of ink with me and these brush pens can do the job just as quick. Sometimes they'll run out of ink, but you can still continue using them by dipping it into ink. There ARE other brush pens where the 'brush' isn't really a brush with hairs. They're more like a foam or felt that's shaped like a brush. They can be good for the beginning of it's use, but after a while, that sharp tip disappears. When that happens, that brush pen is only good for spotting big ink areas. Hope that answers your question, Rometiklan! Thank you for all your support, my friend. Stay safe and be well!

Wonderful video I have watched a dozen times. Ready to try on some of my drawings but have a stupid question. What are you using to clean the ink from your brushes and pens?
Hi Alex. Thank joy for watching my video. That’s not a stupid question at all. I rarely clean my brushes. I just leave the ink there on the brush for months sometimes. And if brush tips every gets stiff from the ink, I just swish the brush into a bottle of water for a few seconds, press down on it to crack that stiffness, and I’m off to inking again. There’s really no need to clean these Aquash Pentel Brush pens as their made of nylon. As for the quill pens, I’ll just used a rag to wipe it clean and dry. Never used water and that will make your quill nibs rust instantly. The only pens I do need to clean are the Rapidograph KoKinoor technical pens. And here’s my video on how I do that. ruclips.net/video/IY3mwzhg8MU/видео.html Thank you again for watching my video and don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already. I’ll have more tutorials coming soon!
Hi Myron Mielke! I only dip the aquash brush and not used the reservior. You may have see some of my other videos where I HAVE filled the reservoir. And I fill those ones where the brushes because the brush tips are not sharp anymore. I'll use those to fill in large ink areas. I also get asked that same question about cleaning when done. I don't wash them clean as often as they are nylon brushes. The Aquash Brush is just like those other brushes in the market where they have pre-filled ink in the reservoir. When artist use THOSE brush, they never clean them. They just keep using them over and over again until they're all out of ink. If they were to clean them after every use, that would mess up the ink inside the reservoir. And you're able to use that brush over and over without cleaning. That's why I love using this brush. Once in a LONG while, I will give the Aquash brush a few swirls in the water. That's when the ink is dried out on the brush tips on non usage. But I usually ink everyday it there's no chance of it getting dried out. Other than that, I just ink, put brush away, and come back later to continue inking. Hope that answers your question. Thank you for watching and please subscribe if you haven't done so already. More videos coming soon!

Thank you for watching my video. You can also use any brand of ink to refill any type of these microns, fineliners and brush pens. After refilling, they will work just like new. After you refill them and if it still doesn’t work, it may be that the tips of your microns are dried out. In that case, get some rubbing alcohol and dip the pens in there for a few good minutes. That will break down the dried ink inside the tips and allow ink to flow again. Then refill and it’ll be just like new. Thank you again for watching.

i just got into sketching with my lamy safari, and just started working on aspects of layers on pipes that are, say, piled up, only using my fountain pen. this is totally way out of my league
Hi Just Some Salty Boi. Thank you for watching my video. You can do it. Sometimes when I see a lot of details in art, I’ll break it down into smaller sections and concentrate one at a time. This way, it’s not a daunting. By the time you’re finished with each section, you’ll be done in no time. Thanks again for watching and if you enjoy these types of videos and like to see more, please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already. More tutorials coming soon!
Thank you so much for watching my video and for the comment. Yes, a lot of the old timers used brush exclusively. It wasn’t until maybe around the time Image Conics formed that a lot of artist started using other inking tool such as a quill nib, microns and more.

Hi TK Arts. I was actually thinking about making a video on how to remove the blue lines. Your comment just gave me that extra push. Inkers these days used bluelines because it’s faster for the pencils to get to the inker once it’s done. Besides using a shipping service to send the original art out, it may take days for the inker to receive. When a penciled is done with the pencils, they can scan it. Email the grey pencils to the inker and the Inker can start work on it immediately. Now, the inker would convert the grey pencils to bluelines. While inking, they can see what needs to be inked. When done with inking and scanned, we can knock out all the blue lines on the computer via Photoshop and leave only the black ink. TK Arts. I’m going to make a video about this and demonstrate how I remove the blue so it’ll be clear. Thank you for the idea!
Thanks mr wong i was so confused about the blue lines .as for inking practice i always change my Pencil lines inti blue lines...and as for removing the blue lines i just change it to black and white idk if that's the correct way if removing the blue lines.. thanks again mr wong
@@crakoa1254 when you’re drawing with a blue pencil for sketching, majority of the time, you won’t be able to completely erase that blue pencil. Those are “non-photo blue” pencils. Meaning once you sketch everything in with the blue pencil, you can draw on top with regular grey pencil. Then when scanning the set, the scanner won’t pick up majority of the blue pencils. Which is why inks print out Blue lines to ink. So when don’t, they’ll scan and the scanner won’t pick up any of the blue. Every now and then, when scanning is color, you will pick up the blue under the grey pencils or inks. When that happens, I’ll use photoshop and remove all the blue pencils at a click of a button. Very fast and easy. Leaning only the grey pencils or completed inks. So to remove any type of blue pencil or blue lines, the only way to do that is digitally, in my case... using Photoshop. That’s the only way to remove any kind of blue. Digitally.
I have been a painter for as long as I can remember. Inking and linework have never been appealing to me. Now that I'm trying to learn it, I am overwhelmed. It's thanks to tutorials like yours that I manage to make progress.

I've seen quite a few Inking tutorials but this one is by far the most helpful. Watching how you do the brush strokes so closely is very helpful, especially watching how you blend the tapered lines together going from thin to thick. I've been trying to find a video that show me and this one is PERFECT! Thank you very much!

Thank you so much for this video. I’ve learned so much from it. I’m a Brazilian color artist learning new skills, and this vídeo sincerely brought me to tears in the beginning. Robson Rocha is a Brazilian comic book artist and he recently passed away due to COVID (a few months ago in fact). I feel this is also an amazing tribute to him and his amazing work. Thank you once again for this amazing video. 🥰
Hi Michelle Rezende. Thank you for the kind words. When I made this video, Robson Rocha was still around. I’m fact, after I’ve inked the piece and uploaded the video, I told Robson and he looked at the art and video. He even responded saying that’s was his old work and not as good. I told him that to me it’s really good and that’s why I wanted to ink this piece. He’s a very kind artist. Thank you again for watching and I’ll have more tutorials coming soon! Stay tuned.

Awesome work. I also taper my lines from thin to thick. I just think it’s easier to apply pressure gradually than decrease it.
Hi Gary Banner. Same with me. It’s just easier going from thin to thick. Works more gradually and more controls knowing how thin the tip of the brush is. Sometimes going from thick to thin, that brush may not snap back to a point. Thank you for watching.

Beautiful and helpful process! It's really good to see the process in real time, and knowing why the artist is making the decisions he makes gives you a clearer picture.I am an artist myself, but inking is definitive a weak aspect of my art, so watching people like you doing this is a godsend!

Hi Ted Bragg. Thank joy for watching my video. I’m glad you enjoyed it.

You should talk more about HOW you establish where the light AND
heavy inking is to take place. And, the preparation in the drawing
itself, BEFORE you start inking.

As for the top of the lips, I prefer lighter, thinner lines; this provides,
not only a 'break' from all those thicker lines, but a bit more realism.
Even a 'Broken line' works great for the lips.
Hi Ray. Thank you for watching my video. Yes, usually when inking, I like to have the top lines thinner and sometimes broken. While the bottom lines thicker where the shadow areas are. Thanks again for watching!
Must know your product well to be dipping over your work.
Must be a professional thing ❤
Hi Jerry. Thank you again for watching my video and for this comment. Haha. That was funny. I actually don’t dip ink over the artwork usually. But in the past when I make real time inking videos, viewers ask how often I would need to dip ink. Because I was doing that off screen. So for demonstrations, I would show the camera when I would need to get ink. And believe me, it’s nerve racking when I’m holding that bottle of ink over the artwork for the camera to see. Because anything can happy and accidentally spill ink over the art. Haha.
what a wonderful video!

Ah damn! The pennies mate! That's a great idea! Dammit I should've thought of that! Thank you!
Hi Michael! Thank you for watching my video! I’m glad it was of help! Using Pennies help lift up the ruler to give it a beveled edge. Plus, you can see through the acrylic ruler. Sometimes I’ll kid around with other artist friends and tell them to use quarters. Why? So it’ll make the ruler more valuable. haha. Thanks again for watching and please sub my channel for more tutorials coming in the future!
I prefer the Copic Multiliner pens. They are refillable and the inks are true black and waterproof.
Hi Keith Aguilar! Yes, Copic Multiliner Pens are also pretty good. Nice and dark. They’re refillable just like all the other microns and fineliners out there.

I always test the waters with fountain pens on scrap paper, too many times I've scratched up the pages or started with a blob.🤣
Hi LilLadyA, yes, majority of the time when I do inking work, I’ll text my tools on a scratch piece of paper to see how it works first. Once I get it going the way I like, then I’ll start inking. If you enjoy these types of videos and like to see more, please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already. More tutorials coming soon. Thanks again!
I always wipe the edge of my ruler with a tissue with some Windex on it. Because if you don't it will smear your panel boarder lines! I also always have a piece of paper underneath my hand while I'm inking. So that you don't smear the ink all over the your drawing!
Hi Loring Bush. Thank you for watching my video. I’ve seen other artist use windex to clean off their ruler to ink so the ink doesn’t smear on the paper. What I do is I’ll attach coins underneath the ruler to give it a beveled edge. To make the ruler raised up slightly. So if ink does attached itself to the ruler, it still won’t touch the paper as it’s now levitated. When I ink, I mentally keep track of where I last inked and making sure my hands stay away from the inked area so I don’t accidentally smudge the ink. Ink usual drys in less than a minute and it won’t smear afterward. Especially waterproof India ink. Now if I were to use some kind of non waterproof ink or a ball point pen ink, those ink is going to smear and I would use a paper to separate my hand from the inked area. Which is why I prefer using waterproof inking ink. Those won’t smear when dried

Awesome tutorial, and beautiful inks, Walden! You always present your videos so clearly and expertly. You do your blacks and line weights with such ease. What is your opinion of brush pens? Pentel, Micron, Faber-Castell, and Tombow make brush pens that I've considered buying and using. Thanks so much for all you do for us, and stay well, my friend!
Hi Rometiklan! Thank you for the kind words, my friend. The Aquash Brush pen that you see me using in the video is my favorite. I've tried all the other brush pens out there and they all work well. I just this Aquash Brush pen because it doesn't cost as much to replace and very little maintenance. Other brushes such as Windsor & Newton or Raphael, when I'm done inking, I would need to wash, shampoo, and condition. This brush I use, I don't even need to clean. I just keep using it over and over. Also, the Pentel, Micron, Faber-Castell, and Tombow brushes are also good for when I'm traveling or doing commissions at comic book conventions. I won't have to carry bottle of ink with me and these brush pens can do the job just as quick. Sometimes they'll run out of ink, but you can still continue using them by dipping it into ink. There ARE other brush pens where the 'brush' isn't really a brush with hairs. They're more like a foam or felt that's shaped like a brush. They can be good for the beginning of it's use, but after a while, that sharp tip disappears. When that happens, that brush pen is only good for spotting big ink areas. Hope that answers your question, Rometiklan! Thank you for all your support, my friend. Stay safe and be well!

I prefer digital inking for my webcomics early next year.
Hi Dennis. Digital inking as well as traditional inking is both fun. The good thing about traditional inking, is that you’re left with an original piece of art that someone can keep. Thank you for watching. If you enjoy these types of video and like to see more, please subscribe to my channel for more tutorials. Thanks again!
@@WaldenWongArt Bad it's even harder!
@@DennisTamayo Hi Dennis. Just practice hand control. Once you have that down, it doesn’t matter what traditional it digital art tools you use. It’s really all coming from the artist ok you. You got this!
@@WaldenWongArt But I didn't do comics yet!
@@DennisTamayo any kind of digital inks is good inking!
Awesome Stuff Walden. Just AWESOME!
Hi Terry Mayo! Thank you for watching and subscribing!
awesome job! I did cringe at the fact the panel boarders were not inked first, but it was a tutorial video, so still good job! lol.
Hi poisonelvis! Truth be told, I wasn't going to ink the pencil boarders, but when I was done with it, I decided to just go for it. lol. When I work for Marvel and DC Comics, panel boarders are the FIRST thing I ink before anything else. Keeps everything inside the boxes! Thank you for watching and subscribing!
The reason then I see you're videos is because you're one of the best inker than I know whit Jimmy reyes.
You're videos are very constructive and interesting to watch.
Also to by honest I love video of
inking real time whit the artist talking
about something at the same time that
he is inking.

Dude... I'm a digital guy... watching this, I had to remind myself to breathe. Good stuff. I told my girlfriend that I was watching someone make love to paper with his inks. Kudos.
Hi Justin, thank you for watching my video and I appreciate the kind words. I have say, that’s the more epic comment I’ve ever gotten! “Watching someone make love to a paper with his inks”!

Hi Walden! Awesome video as always. Btw, which ink did you use to feed the quill?
Hi Tanish. Thank you for watching my video. For the quill, I’ll use the high ones black magic ink as I find that ink is the right consistency to hold on the quill and not too liquid to flow out too quickly. Here’s a link to amazon with the same exact brand I use. www.amazon.com/dp/B007YCOTFY/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_175Z5N40H2F2ZSFS4SFM?linkCode=ml2&tag=waldwongramb-20

Wait, you CAN use crow quills on a printer paper!? 😳 🤯 Whenever I’ve tried that, the lines just bleed and look awful. This is like magic to me…
Thank you for this tutorial. I learned a lot!
Hi NL. Thanks for watching my video. There is a very slight bleeding on the paper and it’s not idea. I only inked it on that paper for demonstration purposes to show it is possible. All you have to do it control how much ink you have on your tools and how much pressure to ink.

I get palpitations every time he refills ink directly over the artwork! 🤣😬
Hi Batman. First of all, how cool is it that your screen name is “Batman”!! Yes, I know it scares people when I’m refilling ink directly on top of the artwork. To be fair, I don’t do that usually. I just did it for the video so people can see how of them i need to refill the ink and how I refill the ink. So everyone can learn. Thank you for watching.

Wow, I'm amazed. You are really good at hand-drawing! I think a lot of artists would not be able to draw like you because used to draw on graphic tablets having well-adjusted brushes. Really really cool! 🌠🔥

Wonderful video I have watched a dozen times. Ready to try on some of my drawings but have a stupid question. What are you using to clean the ink from your brushes and pens?
Hi Alex. Thank joy for watching my video. That’s not a stupid question at all. I rarely clean my brushes. I just leave the ink there on the brush for months sometimes. And if brush tips every gets stiff from the ink, I just swish the brush into a bottle of water for a few seconds, press down on it to crack that stiffness, and I’m off to inking again. There’s really no need to clean these Aquash Pentel Brush pens as their made of nylon. As for the quill pens, I’ll just used a rag to wipe it clean and dry. Never used water and that will make your quill nibs rust instantly. The only pens I do need to clean are the Rapidograph KoKinoor technical pens. And here’s my video on how I do that. ruclips.net/video/IY3mwzhg8MU/видео.html

Love the vids👍
Thank you Desi! Much appreciated. Will have bore tutorial videos coming soon.
Do you only dip the aquash brush and not use the reservoir? Just clean with water when done?
Hi Myron Mielke! I only dip the aquash brush and not used the reservior. You may have see some of my other videos where I HAVE filled the reservoir. And I fill those ones where the brushes because the brush tips are not sharp anymore. I'll use those to fill in large ink areas.
I also get asked that same question about cleaning when done. I don't wash them clean as often as they are nylon brushes. The Aquash Brush is just like those other brushes in the market where they have pre-filled ink in the reservoir. When artist use THOSE brush, they never clean them. They just keep using them over and over again until they're all out of ink. If they were to clean them after every use, that would mess up the ink inside the reservoir. And you're able to use that brush over and over without cleaning. That's why I love using this brush. Once in a LONG while, I will give the Aquash brush a few swirls in the water. That's when the ink is dried out on the brush tips on non usage. But I usually ink everyday it there's no chance of it getting dried out. Other than that, I just ink, put brush away, and come back later to continue inking. Hope that answers your question. Thank you for watching and please subscribe if you haven't done so already. More videos coming soon!
Amazing content as usual. So much information 👍
Hi onetwocomictalk! Thank you for the kind words! More good videos coming soon!
great video. I didn't know inking was still around in the industry. Where can i find pencil drawings to use for practice?
Hi dcsanders92. Yes, comic publishers still use inking today. Without the inking, the comic art would be greyish from pencils. Some artist do digital art and they still ink digitally.

Your thoughts on bernie wrightson inking?
Hi Kaiesis. Thank you for watching my video. I absolutely love Bernie Wrightson’s work. Inking as well as both penciling and ink. He’s a legend along legends. Love his work so much that I was able to ink a commission over one of his pencils. Here’s the link to my video where I showed my inks over Bernie Wrightons pencils. This one is a good video.

So this is the real speed at which inking is done? At least when done right.. I’ve been used to seing so many ffw videos that this looks almost painstakingly slow, but in a good way 🙂 thank you for this!
Hi Ciprian Morariu. Thank you for watching my video. Yes, this is real time speed at how I’ve ink that small panel, which was about 2x4 inches ik size. I also make fast forward videos as well. And there are some videos on my channel that’s over three hours long. Also real time drawing, inking and coloring. If you enjoy this video and like to see more, sun my channel. I’ll have more tutorials and art demonstrations soon! Thanks again!
Awesome video but please note that this character is Psylocke. She doesn't have an optic blast. Her power is psionic blast. You're thinking Cyclops.
Ah yes, that’s right. It’s her psionic blast! I must have been thinking cyclops when o said that. Thank you for the correction! Thanks for watching and sub me for more videos coming soon!
Thank you for the video. How thin shpuld be the brush? 0.8?
Hi Fikioris. Thank you for watching my video. The Aquash Brush pen you see me using in the video only comes in three size. Large, medium, small and flat. So the one I’m using is small. Here’s a link to the same brushes you see me using this this video. amzn.to/3Sv8BL9

What kind of inks were you using on the pentel brush pen? Im afraid of blocking the pen channel by using the wrong type of ink.
Thank you for watching my video. You can also use any brand of ink to refill any type of these microns, fineliners and brush pens. After refilling, they will work just like new. After you refill them and if it still doesn’t work, it may be that the tips of your microns are dried out. In that case, get some rubbing alcohol and dip the pens in there for a few good minutes. That will break down the dried ink inside the tips and allow ink to flow again. Then refill and it’ll be just like new. Thank you again for watching.

i just got into sketching with my lamy safari, and just started working on aspects of layers on pipes that are, say, piled up, only using my fountain pen. this is totally way out of my league
Hi Just Some Salty Boi. Thank you for watching my video. You can do it. Sometimes when I see a lot of details in art, I’ll break it down into smaller sections and concentrate one at a time. This way, it’s not a daunting. By the time you’re finished with each section, you’ll be done in no time.

Didn’t the old timers like Jack Kirby use a brush exclusively?
Thank you so much for watching my video and for the comment. Yes, a lot of the old timers used brush exclusively. It wasn’t until maybe around the time Image Conics formed that a lot of artist started using other inking tool such as a quill nib, microns and more. If you enjoy this video and like to see more, please subscribe to my channel. I’ll have more tutorials coming soon.
Mr Wong what is the reason comic book inkers use blue lines for inking?..and how do you remove the blue lines.im so confused
Hi TK Arts. I was actually thinking about making a video on how to remove the blue lines. Your comment just gave me that extra push.
Inkers these days used bluelines because it’s faster for the pencils to get to the inker once it’s done. Besides using a shipping service to send the original art out, it may take days for the inker to receive. When a penciled is done with the pencils, they can scan it. Email the grey pencils to the inker and the Inker can start work on it immediately. Now, the inker would convert the grey pencils to bluelines. While inking, they can see what needs to be inked. When done with inking and scanned, we can knock out all the blue lines on the computer via Photoshop and leave only the black ink.
TK Arts. I’m going to make a video about this and demonstrate how I remove the blue so it’ll be clear. Thank you for the idea!
Thanks mr wong i was so confused about the blue lines .as for inking practice i always change my Pencil lines inti blue lines...and as for removing the blue lines i just change it to black and white idk if that's the correct way if removing the blue lines.. thanks again mr wong
@@crakoa1254 when you’re drawing with a blue pencil for sketching, majority of the time, you won’t be able to completely erase that blue pencil. Those are “non-photo blue” pencils. Meaning once you sketch everything in with the blue pencil, you can draw on top with regular grey pencil. Then when scanning the set, the scanner won’t pick up majority of the blue pencils. Which is why inks print out Blue lines to ink. So when don’t, they’ll scan and the scanner won’t pick up any of the blue. Every now and then, when scanning is color, you will pick up the blue under the grey pencils or inks. When that happens, I’ll use photoshop and remove all the blue pencils at a click of a button. Very fast and easy. Leaning only the grey pencils or completed inks. So to remove any type of blue pencil or blue lines, the only way to do that is digitally, in my case... using Photoshop. That’s the only way to remove any kind of blue. Digitally.
@@WaldenWongArt thanks for informing mr wong
@@crakoa1254 you’re welcome!
