Arc - hurry it up already.  =)

I'm trying. Inking has proven to be harder than I thought...

Mikael: I really like that page. Is that a character you've created?

Dave: Those are very good designs. And if they are indeed quick ones then I can only envy your ability.

Thanks Arc! They are quick by my standards - I made a template drawing so I wouldn't have to draw the base figure over and over - saves some time.

I've just started to try my hand at inking, too, Arc, and it is harder than you might think. So far I have had the best results with a good old fashion pen and ink using various nibs. And with really fine pens - I have a set of fine Micron Pigma pens that are real easy to draw with.

Dave, seems like we are both having a hard time learning how to ink ... I thought it would be much easier, but I was wrong. Makes you cherish even more the work of famous inkers.

 

And by the way John, that's a great Namor you got there.

indeed, Arc...I'm going to commission Rubinstein to ink some stuff for me once I have the money!

i started this drawing today - it's unfinished so i hope it's ok to post here even though it's not really a sketch - i had to do 2 scans to fit the whoole thing, so it looks kinda funky -

Thanks, Dave. Yeah, I can't wait to get some free time to paint a few portraits of Matt. BTW, here's the completed, finalized version of the Huckleberries. The client's happy, I'm happy and these gjuys look REAL happy.
