Additional Info:

Inking is very subjective and methods involving hatching, stippling, and linework all vary among comic book artists and animators alike. These methods are basic introductions in a 101 style course format to show possible avenues for free expression when inking. These are by no means professional finished inks in the likes of Williams or Finch that so often graze the covers of many famous comic publications, however they serve to show an introduction to tools and methods to develop your own styles and working process.

If you have any additional questions feel free to contact me on any of my socials at @itoscaresme. Thank you for viewing and I hope you enjoy your steps along this journey whether an absolute beginner or seasoned veteran. Thank you for your support and I hope to continue making more tutorials in the future to share, albeit limited to my own paltry experiences, what I have learned so far in creative expression. Happy Inking!
