What program is this... I want to download it... xD Looks more natural than Manga Studio... almost real... Like dead trees for paper, metal and wood pens, and crushed plants for inks... I didn't even see you "Undo" once... you are good!
Natalia Batista I add a lot of folds to my clothes, XD It might make my characters look messy sometimes, but it actually adds more realism to the style. Love your inking, by the way! :D
+larry parkins It sounds like you're clenching the pen too hard. You need to relax. Don't try to controll the nib, but learn how to let it "fly" off the paper (think of it as a plane that in a movement lands and takes off from the paper). Might be a good thing to practice brush inking to learn this technique, it really helps your nib inking!
I've seen this style but never really seen it up close and in process. THis video has made me want to learn how to ink with those pens..something my brother says I should plan on taking a good 8-10 years...but it looks worth it! Amazing work!
I got a little tickle every time you drew a long line all at once like with the eyebrows XD It made me smile, I guess it's because I was nervous just watching XD I was scared that "I" might mess up lolz~ I love your style btw
How did you draw those smooth lines for the hair? Whenever I'm inking the hair I always draw the same short line over and over again, making it looked like bunch of broken lines. Do you have any tips?
I think it's best ro loosen up a bit. When I was starting, I was so afrait of doing it wrong that I only made it worse. Just trust your arm and let the strokes flow.
That’s absolutely stunning artwork! The hair, hands, and face are all beautifully done!! Plus, your Sword Princess Amaltea manga is great! I can’t believe you’re on page 188! That’s quite an accomplishment! Not only does that take considerable skill and talent, but also lot's of passion and determination! Can’t wait to see more! Keep up the good work! :)
Yaaay! Thank you for the positive feedback! Actually, I'm over 400 pages by now. The publishing online is a bit late, since I publish it in Swedish first, as books. But all of it will be up online within 18 months, I think.
In my art classes in H.S. my favorite time was when we worked with pen and ink. I've always been attracted to sort of the traditional Japanese ink pieces. Watching you do this really takes me back. Thank you. :-)
Damn, I’m 6 years late. Hope you still check this account and especially the comments in it. Just wanted to say that this thing that you made is a masterpiece. You’ve truly inspired me to get better at drawing ;)
excellent job!! Nice to find a good inking video with a good quality camera! Thank you very much. And looks like i really dont dip my pen often enough when inking. Maybe thats why my lines keep breaking. XD
hello i le your ultra cool inking style,liked the steadiness and thickness of the lines.well i am frm india using pigma sakura microns for past on year,can please tell me how to practice with these microns more effeintly and preceisly, since i lack the consistency in drawing lines.please sensei teach me :)
OMYGAWD! That was so amazingly fascinating to watch, almost like captivating, i love calligraphy and drawing manga so i just love these G pens, I surely aspire to create my own manga one day! *.* Keep up the Great work! I love it ^.^
adoro seu traço,o estilo de desenho,deve ser muito difícil usar a g.pen,me esforçarei quem sabe um dia não chego na metade do seu talento;adoro seu trabalho continue assim!!!
I know this comment is 3 years old, but just so you know, pro inkers never ever EVER leave a bottle of ink opened on the same table as their work. Usually you have a drafting table/easel with the page angled and the bottle of ink below the page on the side, so it simply cannot happen. If you use brushes you don't need to leave it open anyway so you'd use a pallette.
ooooh my! you are a master of inking... im comicker my nightmare is to ink, im not bad but with stylograph. you with that kind of pen, how can you make that brush effect? thin at beggining thck at middle going to thin again, just like japanese calligraphy. i really like you kind of inking, really love it!
Natalia Batista i will practice it, i dont use dip pen, but i will try it for sure, actually since i watch your video i buy dip pen set, still not arrive but in the way! you inspire me! i hope can drop the stlylograph away when dip pen comes and prictice make me better :). thanks for your videos :)
+Ziletai LinkSakura A local shop makes this paper set in the shop (buys big sheats and cuts it to pieces). But Deleters manga paper is good too, but a little thin.. Or Bristol inking paper, I've heard. A slong as it's smooth.
SerenataImmortale0 it is a blue mine, its like a blue pencil. the difference beetwen the black pencil and this one is that if you scan the black pencil (i think) it will not scan it completely. with blue pencil it will. (i am mexican dont hate me :(
Fernando Pando As far as i know, blue pencil used to draw very rough sketches, like blockman to picking pose. After that, you draw clean sketches on it using black pencil. Blue pencil doesn't get scanned if you want to switch drawing to computer^^ But there are also people, like Natalie, that only using blue pencil to sketch :3
SerenataImmortale0 Blue pencil, typically (though there are a few artists I know that blow up their sketches and print them on the final paper in non-photoblue). The purpose behind it is that erasing pencil lines lightens the ink and effects the overall image quality. Using blue pencil means you don't have to erase as the pencil lines won't be picked up when scanning the lineart. It also allows a better contrast between your inkwork and the paper allowing for better understanding of light/dark balance when inking and beta coloring/spotting blacks. I also use blue pencil to indicate where lighting effects go (highlights in hair, shadows on clothes, etc), even if the original picture was done in standard pencil. This is especially true when using screentones, as you can't erase pencil that was applied under screentone. You either must use blue pencil that won't be scanned, or draw with normal pencil on top of the tone, which can be risky if you mess up and can cause you to waste tone. Hope this helps.
i watch so many art videos and art tutorials, and this by far was the best inking video i have ever seen. I have never been so mesmorized by seeing someone ink. @-@ i check the channel, no new vids? or do you have another channel?
+IhavAdollar Oh, so sorry! I have really wanted to make more vids, but technical dificulties and lack of time (because I had the deadlines with the books) made it hard. But I'm planning on making a new tutorial/lesson video series, so please stay tuned!
Nice video! When you started inking her hair I was like.. "Isn't it boring for her to ink this kind of hair?" But than you wrote there that you actually enjoy it and thats what counts! :) And I agree with you I think inking is fun and you can relax while doing that *^* Btw: I love your work you are awesome!!!
Wow u even drew a manga .. Must read it .. I liked ur style so i want to see more ..?thanx ur inking lesson gave me advises all tho i dont have it .. Sorry i speak alot
.. I find watching you ink EXTREMELY.. I don't know, powerful? ; A; I always watch this vid before I ink, because it helps my hand get down the proper motions. ; v; I learned that I was bearing down too heard, and that made a lot of things muuuuuuuch easier for me... TTT uTTT It's always important to have something or someone to strive for, so your vid really showed me what I need to aim for, thank you!!
I would like to ask you something if you don't mind. I've tried using an ink pen, and I dip the nib in plenty of ink. But when I press down on the paper, I can never make a line. It just doesn't come off the nib and onto the paper. Am I doing something wrong? Is it just a bad nib maybe?
Wow! This is amazing, and I was really suprised to find out that I share a name with such an awesome artist o//w//o (I really don't know anyone else IRL named Natalia) Even more so since I myself love manga/comics and go to an arts magnet high school in order to become an artist! I hope that someday I can reach a similar level. Your artwork is great!
Ah. I see. Pen nibs sure are helpful with these extra extra thin lines. No wonder my inking is all messed up when I only use one 0.1 micron pen to ink. Grear advice, thanks!
please i'd like to know if you draw without forcing the pen on the paper, cos while i draw with a gpen my hand tends to shake and the lines end up not being smooth, i dunno if its because of my paper i use A4 paper
You are very good inking with the g pen a those kind of pens thanks to this video I notice the diferent in the normals pens a g pens now I know why mangakas use them xD
+Violet Rin A local shop makes this paper set in the shop (buys big sheats and cuts it to pieces). But Deleters manga paper is good too, but a little thin.. Or Bristol inking paper, I've heard. A slong as it's smooth.
I have a big problem with fold clothes any idea how to practice on it cuz when i dunno how i just a very simple shirt or dress but it ruins the draw especially if i put a big effort on face and hair ?!!!
Hm... I should recommend you to just start drawing from life. Either from photos of people in different clothes, or from real life models, like asking a friend to sit still for a moment while you draw that persons clothes - how they fold and where the shadows are. The more you practice the better you'll get!
The outline... how did you draw it? With just the green (pencil crayon?) or did you draw it in regular pencil first? I'm trying to learn how to ink using dip pens -.- Not going so well... haha
I use green leads for a mechanical pencil. The brand is called Pilot Color Eno and I use size 0.7. They are very fragile tho, so I also have searched and found a good mechanical pencil for them, with good support in the tip of the pencil. Check out my other videos to see how I drew the picture from the start! :)
Yep, it totally is! The feeling of completing a manga/comic and make it into a book, hodling it in your hand and letting others read it and enjoy the story and the art, that feeling is PRICELESS.

WOW an art tutorial that actually teaches me something.

Some of the cleanest lines ive ever seen....
the whole picture is amazing, i just love her hair
Thank you!! I'm glad you like it! :D
What program is this... I want to download it... xD
Looks more natural than Manga Studio... almost real... Like dead trees for paper, metal and wood pens, and crushed plants for inks... I didn't even see you "Undo" once... you are good!
+NoesisAndNoema HAha, yes, the program truly is made from dead trees. Retro, you know. Very old school. XD
You are absolutely AMAZING!!! Your style is breathtaking! *o*
Wow, thanks!! :D
"I don't do too many folds." Proceeds to add an ass-ton of them. :)
Haha, well, I add approximately an ass-ton more in the coloring, lol.
Natalia Batista I add a lot of folds to my clothes, XD It might make my characters look messy sometimes, but it actually adds more realism to the style.
Love your inking, by the way! :D
she has ALOT of hair , but i am in love with those lines , i wish someday i could b as good as u r
+IDItheCRAZY Thank you, and please keep up the practice!
thank you ! ^^

Who are you saying that to
its Time lapsed!!!
I BELIEVE I CAN FLYYYYYYYYYY says the pen X3
lol 😂
It's great to see the practiced hand and keen eye at work. Good art is rare these days.
I've seen this style but never really seen it up close and in process. THis video has made me want to learn how to ink with those pens..something my brother says I should plan on taking a good 8-10 years...but it looks worth it! Amazing work!
Deym the way you draw the lines of her hair. INCREDIBLE 💙
i’ve been looking for this video for AGES because I remember how satisfying it is. Amazing. Absolute unit.
It's a beautyful drawing. It comes alive with the inking
Thanks!! :D
Great line work! :)
I got a little tickle every time you drew a long line all at once like with the eyebrows XD It made me smile, I guess it's because I was nervous just watching XD I was scared that "I" might mess up lolz~ I love your style btw
+CRYchi Awww, thank you! :3
How did you draw those smooth lines for the hair? Whenever I'm inking the hair I always draw the same short line over and over again, making it looked like bunch of broken lines. Do you have any tips?
This is super late, but long confident strokes are much better suited for hair rather than short choppy ones.
I think it's best ro loosen up a bit. When I was starting, I was so afrait of doing it wrong that I only made it worse. Just trust your arm and let the strokes flow.
that is a beautiful drawing, you are an incredible artist
Thank you!! :D

I'm challenging myself with the japanese pen nibs. I find your tips and technique very useful and helpful. Thank you and keep posting those videos.
this is so beautiful ! it must take hours and hours to sketch, ink and color the whole manga. you're very couregeous ! keep up ✌
Thank you for uploading this. I always do struggle with outlinrs
How is this even possible! Very talented artist! *W*
In my art classes in H.S. my favorite time was when we worked with pen and ink. I've always been attracted to sort of the traditional Japanese ink pieces. Watching you do this really takes me back. Thank you. :-)
Oh, thank you!

+gowra hari Microns? I don't use those, I think...
You made me fall in love with traditional art 😭❤
Does ZEN ssjsjs Traditional and digital are both good, but srsly where did you download that Budo profile?
OMYGAWD! That was so amazingly fascinating to watch, almost like captivating, i love calligraphy and drawing manga so i just love these G pens, I surely aspire to create my own manga one day! *.* Keep up the Great work! I love it ^.^
Oh, wow, thank you!!
I subscribed.. This is helpful, and inking is one thing I have always had trouble doing
It's difficult in the beginning, but practice and patience will hep you master it!
Those lines are goalsssss
Amo esses traços, cara, que relaxante assistir aos seus vídeos...
adoro seu traço,o estilo de desenho,deve ser muito difícil usar a g.pen,me esforçarei quem sabe um dia não chego na metade do seu talento;adoro seu trabalho continue assim!!!
For the one who had posted, how to make smoother lines in hair. Try experimenting with curves, and faded lines
I just started using my Tachikawa pen with the G-pen…^___^ I love your inking styles^__^
She looks so pretty ^^ thanks for this tutorial. It was really helpful :D
Yaaay, thank you!!
imagine if he spilled all the ink on the paper

I know this comment is 3 years old, but just so you know, pro inkers never ever EVER leave a bottle of ink opened on the same table as their work.

ooooh my! you are a master of inking... im comicker my nightmare is to ink, im not bad but with stylograph. you with that kind of pen, how can you make that brush effect? thin at beggining thck at middle going to thin again, just like japanese calligraphy. i really like you kind of inking, really love it!
+Erika Miramontes Actually I use the nib just like a brush in that sense; I di the stroke in a movement to get the pointy ends.
Natalia Batista i will practice it, i dont use dip pen, but i will try it for sure, actually since i watch your video i buy dip pen set, still not arrive but in the way! you inspire me! i hope can drop the stlylograph away when dip pen comes and prictice make me better :). thanks for your videos

Hello! It's very cool how you draw, I have a doubt, what kind of paper do you use? Thank you :3
+Ziletai LinkSakura A local shop makes this paper set in the shop (buys big sheats and cuts it to pieces). But Deleters manga paper is good too, but a little thin.. Or Bristol inking paper, I've heard. A slong as it's smooth.
Oh perfect, i used carboard opaline, but i try Bristol or Deleters, thank you :D
There is no more fun than drawing good
How many books are in your series? Thanks!
+Art by Alex Thay are 3, and sadly only in Swedish so far. I'm working on it!
This was so beautiful and awesome. dope video bro!
Absolutely amazing..
Why is the drawing blue before you ink it? Is there a special process that needs to be done or did you just draw it in blue pencil?
SerenataImmortale0 it is a blue mine, its like a blue pencil. the difference beetwen the black pencil and this one is that if you scan the black pencil (i think) it will not scan it completely. with blue pencil it will. (i am mexican dont hate me :(

I find it super sayisfying 😍
Beautiful art
Awelsome!! Btw what's the nib and ink ur using?
I miss using the crow quill pen
I would like to ask you something if you don't mind. I've tried using an ink pen, and I dip the nib in plenty of ink. But when I press down on the paper, I can never make a line. It just doesn't come off the nib and onto the paper. Am I doing something wrong? Is it just a bad nib maybe?

I hope that someday I can reach a similar level. Your artwork is great!
I believe you will, just keep drawing, and don't focus on others, just your own developement. And experiment alot! :D
Where can I get that pen and ink? You are insanely talented, I look up to you!
can i use 0.1 faber castell instead of g pen?
During the whole video do you hold the dip pen sideways?
Ah. I see. Pen nibs sure are helpful with these extra extra thin lines. No wonder my inking is all messed up when I only use one 0.1 micron pen to ink. Grear advice, thanks!
I found out these pens existed today and a lot has changed
please i'd like to know if you draw without forcing the pen on the paper, cos while i draw with a gpen my hand tends to shake and the lines end up not being smooth, i dunno if its because of my paper i use A4 paper
oh my god, you are so amazing...
Awww, thank you!!
you are realy skilled :3 GJ
LOLmylow Oooh, thank you! :)
You are very good inking with the g pen a those kind of pens thanks to this video I notice the diferent in the normals pens a g pens now I know why mangakas use them xD
Hi what kind pen／pencil did you used before inking them? Btw it looks so good
This needs more views
May I know what type of paper are you using? 😄
+Violet Rin A local shop makes this paper set in the shop (buys big sheats and cuts
it to pieces). But Deleters manga paper is good too, but a little thin..
Or Bristol inking paper, I've heard. A slong as it's smooth.
Okay,thank you very much for replying 😄
Natalia Batista how long did that take!?
Did what take? This drawing? I think it was 2 h or so, including the green lines.
Natalia Batista ahh okay
Wow it took you a LONG time to reply am surprised you did though
Jayson Bossuet I don't get notifications for all comments, found yours just now. Sadly havn't been so active here.
Natalia Batista yea I know you still doing the manga?
Jayson Bossuet
Yep! You can read it at Inkblazers.com: www.inkblazers.com/manga-and-comics/Sword-Princess-Amaltea/detail-page/5997?lang=en
I'm a noob to the drawing world, but where could you get the ink and g-pen?
my god splendid job on hairs how can i draw like these... cry hair only pqart that i suck with apart form perspective.
Hair is so fun to draw but also very difficult, I agree.
I want to read this now as a manga
Yep need to be my mentor
Do you need to erase the pencil sketch after inking?
¿Alguien sabe donde puedo encontrar el manga en español? °^°
Gracias ^
NICE WORK!
wow so great!
This is amazing
You made it look so easy 😱😭
amazing skills!
Gosh! this is so amazing!!!!!
A great work!!
Wow, amazing!
You are magical.
Where are you buying the pen?
I have a big problem with fold clothes any idea how to practice on it cuz when i dunno how i just a very simple shirt or dress but it ruins the draw especially if i put a big effort on face and hair ?!!!
Hm... I should recommend you to just start drawing from life. Either from photos of people in different clothes, or from real life models, like asking a friend to sit still for a moment while you draw that persons clothes - how they fold and where the shadows are. The more you practice the better you'll get!
Id love to know how do you prep the tips or if you just use them as they are
creative and we'll done
The outline... how did you draw it? With just the green (pencil crayon?) or did you draw it in regular pencil first?
I'm trying to learn how to ink using dip pens -.- Not going so well... haha
I use green leads for a mechanical pencil. The brand is called Pilot Color Eno and I use size 0.7. They are very fragile tho, so I also have searched and found a good mechanical pencil for them, with good support in the tip of the pencil.
Check out my other videos to see how I drew the picture from the start! :)
I will, thanks!
just amazing!!! what paper did you use? :)
This was very helpful thank u !
💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖💖 😍😍😍😍😍😍 I love your art ! It's amazing
Now imagine doing this over and over and over and over to create a manga. This job is ridiculous. So skilled, but in the end, is it ever worth it ?
Yep, it totally is! The feeling of completing a manga/comic and make it into a book, hodling it in your hand and letting others read it and enjoy the story and the art, that feeling is PRICELESS.
