yeah ..

I was going to ask the same Q..

what did you use to ink it?

[.EcHo.]

one again, very well done

If you finish before January 14th, you should enter your manga in the manga contest, you should have a really good shot&#33;

He reminds me of that hero from Kingdom Hearts....indeed

What do I use to ink? A brand of crappy pens. 1 decent pen for fine lines and 2 decent pens for large black areas (like hair and such). I also have 3 of this other brand that I&#39;m gonna use for inking large black areas once the ink in my other 2 run out.

The one for fine lines is a &#39; 0.3mm staedtler pigment liner&#39; whatever the hell that means.
The 2 black area pens are a &#39;0.5mm BiC Z4&#39;. It bleeds a lot so it&#39;s good for surface stuff. Although the pros use actual brushes with ink on them for large black areas. I have no brushes...or ink for that matter so I have to use a pen. I&#39;m considering just filling in all the black areas in photoshop or something. It takes too long if I have to ink really big areas.

Anyways, hope that helps. I&#39;m not really good at answering stuff like this.

As for the enter the manga into the contest thing, that&#39;s not happening since there&#39;s no way I&#39;m finishing it by January 14. There&#39;s still like...20-30 pages at least left to go.

But since it&#39;s only the backgrounds that take really really long to do, I can just de-emphasize them and draw them good, but not uber-detailed so that you know where the characters are and such. This should result in an overall speed increase. I don&#39;t have too much trouble drawing characters too fast (except when they&#39;re in crazy-ass poses/angles).

Later
