Your Inking Style

Ive been wonderin, and I also need some help, how do you guys ink your pictures on photoshop?

hmmm... not that I'm much help but...

turn the flow down to somewhere under 50% and just use a nice brush size... the whole line weight thing is something you need to experiment to get.

uhhh...

i think i told you this before but when i ink on computer, i use a regular brush, usually size 3 and flow and opacity at max.

normal hard brush at 100%, make a transparant layer above your scetch, and ink away... but i've only inked digitally like... twice maybe so... ^^~!

mostly i just use markers...

i should start scanning some stuff..

hmmm, lol, for somereason i do that, but not regular brush, and at 3

and erwt, do u have tablet?

Just in case he's off some where... Yes... Erwt has a tablet, and so do I.

but then how do u color? i saw death's wip drawings, and i saw him color first and ink after, so im still rather confused

Uhhh... due to X's vacation type thing... and Orin's complete neglect of these forums...

JAMBALAYA!!!

And... I think He only inks when he feels like it... He shades first so that he knows which area's need heavier line weights... i think.

*falls down really hard*

well then... JUMBALYA!!!

i usually only use photoshop to color (i guess im too impatient to wait to finish my sketches sometimes) and do all the inking/linework with a pen.

but like erwt said, just make a transparent layer on top of your art and draw lines over it (tablet is probably required if you want the lines to look nice and have varying line weights.... unless you happen to be extremely talented with a mouse or have a lot of free time)

HURRAY!

I FINALLY LEARNED HOW TO USE ADOBE ILLUSTRATOR WHICH IS SO MUCH EASIER THEN INKING IT DIGITALLY OR MANUALLY!

sorry for the big caps. its so clean!

now theres another way to ink. you can do that, so yea.... its like the pen tool but easier.
