Thanks for the comments Matthew and James! Always appreciated. :) Justin, look forward to your wisdom!

James, That'd be cool thanks. I only have 3 markers so far, but I'd love any help or advice! I used to think it would be pretty easy, but dang! lol I have a new respect for inkers.

Excellent job on the birds + car! It looks really cool. The car looks hot!!

Chris glad you liked it.

When i ink my own stuff i use rapidographs,you can get different sizes,there quite dear, but worth buying if you intend to ink your stuff. Brush pens(Faber-Castell) are good as well, you can pay £13 for a refillable or £2  for throw away ones.Also a big mutha f  eraser for getting pencil lines away.good erasers save a lot of cleaning up on screen.hope this helps .

Did you recieve CRITICAL ERROR yet?

Thanks everyone.

James, I do a prelim "pencil" drawing on a separate layer directly in
Photoshop to work out the shapes and placement and than "ink" on a
new layer making changes as I go.

Good collaboration Chris and James. My only comment is since both the
Huntress and the car are casting a shadow, why isn't Batgirl? Kind of
makes here seem like she's floating.

Chris, are you saying inkers aren't just some talentless tracers? LOL
Keep at it, it's not an easy skill and takes long time work out the
problems, but it's a fun ride. ;)

Well, you already established the light source as coming from the top
left, so the Batgirl's shadow should follow the same scheme. Her right leg
will cast a shadow, also her left thigh, torso and head. Her shadow should
probably elongate a little because of her position.
