The Most Badass Tools for Inking Comics

by Palle Schmidt

I’ve talked about the tools of the trade in other videos, but this time I want to dig deep on some of the some of the classic tools for comics inking and show the different style in lines you get from a marker vs. a brush or a quill.

As a companion to this video artist Michael Johnson Curry (mikejc.com) has provided a handful of his pencils that you can print out and try your own inking skills on.

You can find the printouts at the bottom of the resources page.

Let me know if that’s helpful and I can see about maybe doing more of that type of stuff.
