Tom Richmond's Inking Tutorial

morebrushwork.JPG

Okay maybe I'm going overboard with the tutorials but since Herc and I were talking about inking techniques last night and I just ran across this brand new inking tutorial today I figured I would share.

Tom Richmond seems to be a MAD! Magazine artist and he is pretty thorough with his descriptions of techniques and tools that he uses. Some of the key takeways for me:
- Draw with the ink, don't trace your pencils lines or else all the life will be drained from them
- Don't be afraid to constantly re-work a line (apprently Hirschfeld did this and still made it look like one bold, confident line).
- If you're going to cross-hatch, use it sparingly
- tricks to creating atmosphere in your backgrounds is to keep your lineweights light and dont' run your lines of different objects together (you'll have to look at that part to see what I'm talking about)

It's a pretty good tutorial, worth taking a look at: Tom Richmond's Inking Tutorial

"DRAW with ink."

It doesn't get more direct and powerful than that. Yeah, baby!
