Behind the Scenes: Comics Process Part 5
🕑 Added 2019-09-12 23:08:38 +0000 UTCAnd we reach the inking stage! As I mentioned previously, I print the blue sketch onto 8.5x11 cardstock. I start inking from the bottom row first and then make my way to the top. The last picture has a lineup of various pens I use.
From left to right:
1. Rotring Artpen Lettering Broad Nib
2. Rotring ArtPen Calligraphy Pen 1.9 mm
3. Posca Extra Fine, Posca 0.9 mm
4. Pentel Brush Pen
5. Kuretake Zig Cartoonist Mangaka Flexible Pen
6. Presto! White Out
7. Posca Extra Fine WHITE
I primarily ink the main figures with Broad Nib Artpen, it helps me ink with precise flow. I get the "chunky" outline by inking everything twice. I use the 1.9 calligraphy pen for panel borders. Both pens are filled with Koh-I-Noor Rapidograph ink.
I use Poscas and Kuretake pens for touch-ups and details. If I want to add effects with white outlines, I use white Posca marker, which is useful for that. Miscellaneous corrections are done with Presto white outs.
