Alex Toth is another one that comes to mind whenever I think about ink. I'm still learning as I go along, but I'm happy to have an audience in the meantime.Paolo Riverahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11088106827920011644noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959702978311327862.post-25108857634720686252009-05-18T08:35:00.000-07:002009-05-18T08:35:00.000-07:00These studies are really great, it's a nice way of...These studies are really great, it's a nice way of training yourself before you begin to attack the boards. I've only started to become comfortable penciling my pages in a way that is suitable for ink. But what I've noticed within my own work is that I tend to simplify the subject matter by choosing not to follow every single line thats on the page. There was a huge discussion within one of my classes between tracing your pencils with ink or straight up drawing in ink. David Mazzucchelli is one of those artists who draw in ink. We were so amazed in class by how such little lines he needed to describe a figure with pencil and would leave all the little details in the his inking stage. <br /><br />Inking is a very tough subject matter of which one needs to be confident with the strokes they make. Ink doesn't lie. If you hesitate with a stroke it will show. But Paolo you seem to have a great way of laying down your lines. Not only do you describe objects with certain types of line weights but also with texture, by using a dry brush. Great stuff! Will be on the lookout for the Young Allies.<br />-MannyManny Mederoshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/03241099215247323898noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8959702978311327862.post-56787451480219687852009-05-18T00:41:00.000-07:002009-05-18T00:41:00.000-07:00Hey Paolo.
