INTRODUCTION INTO LOOSE INKING - Companion to RENDER like WRIGHTSON

- Loose Inking can be challenging...doing something loose is one thing...blending it naturally and seamlessly into a piece of fully realized art can be more tricky...so start here and get an idea for the "feel" of being loose...and then do a LOT of experimenting.

Sincerely, I thank you Richard. G'day and cheers mate. All the way from Newcastle Australia.......😃🤙
Man some of the lines look so cool, so sharp and dynamic, that it wouldn't really matter what you're drawing...talking about some really badass jars of clay, or on this page feathers of a raven. One of those hatchings could easily be blown up and framed by itself. Seriously, you've got some black gold welling up here.
Masterful inkers might be the best kept secret in comics.
Very well worded Seven 😃🤙
Great quote, man. “Gotta learn control to be outta control.” That’s the same with music and most everything i think.
yeah it's funny huh...but true~!!
"you 're gonna need the control, to be out of control" RF 2018./ :)
I like what you said about hatching, even at your level of talent, that it didn't have to be perfect, I have no talent thanks for the kind words, your a true (friend) see how I said that..ha..
Thanks for these videos. I’ve been searching for the techniques to take my work to the next level, and using a crow quill has been one of those skills that I have never hunkered down to learn. I’ve been playing with it while I watch, and it’s really helping me catch that Jack Davis markmaking that has eluded me for so long.
When I go to a gallery,and I'm looking at an incredible painter,I'm seeing that artists brush strokes as I stand in the relative proximity to the painting that the artist stood in when they were working. Each stroke of the brush is a record of the firing of the electro chemical process of that artist's brain. Standing there,I am actually viewing that individual's process of thought. It is a momentary intimacy with a fine and disciplined mind that may have been gone for centuries.
I believe that palatable,visceral,inking such as the divine Wrightson's, gives the comics art lover the same experience.
It is said that drawing is a physical example of thought process,which is a beautiful thing when free of the leash.
And yes,"you 're gonna need the control,to be out of control".
That being said,Viva,out of control!
Hyper clean and "perfect inking"-corporate comics scrub- is exactly why(and I'm saying this as a working pro cartoonist) that I don't buy contemporary comics.
Give me Alcala,Palmer.Esposito,Serpierie,Crumb,S.CLAY WILSON!,Jordi Bernet,etc, over all that shiny,sanitized,commercial,uselessness every time!
That's kind of like the hatching style that was used by artists of the 20s and 30s like Roy Krenkel and Alex Raymond that's now seen as archaic by a lot of modern illustrators. Nonetheless, it's very useful to learn the technique if for no other reason than as an exercise to help loosen up one's own style a bit and learn how to break certain rules. I've been looking at different ways to do things rather a lot lately to try to expand my own artistic development rather than remain stuck with the techniques I've trained myself in for so long, so I'm grateful to have found this video.
love all these videos man =)
I come from a digital background and recently started traditional cross hatching out of curiosity. It really brought a new appreciation for the fundamentals, having to show form and value one decisive line at a time!
awesome thank you...yeah it can be a bit different...but you want that original art digital can't provide! But I get the ease of using digital tools. :)
Love this stuff. Just became a Patreon. Thanks Richard👍
Lee Holton thank you so much Lee!!
Love these inking videos so much!! Please keep them coming!!!
thank you and more to come!
Love your videos.! These are great stuff, and I really appreciate that you are spending time to share your knowledge. Thank you Richard.!
mega helpful! thanks a ton
no problem thank you!
You’re an awesome guy for helping everybody learn this. BTW what camera are you using? An iPhone? Hold your finger on the screen on what you want to focus on until it says AE/AF Lock
samsung galaxy s6+ edge....I broke the lens and had it replaced and that's when all the auto focus problems started. I was using the finger on the screen which locks in the auto focus but pulling in for tight shots...then going back in to ink...back and forth...also because it's not sure if it should focus on my hand...or the brush itself. Causes a lot of the problems. I should have a new phone in the next few months.
and thanks and my pleasure...this is challenging and fun....it's a good process having to break this down and get out of a few comfort zones....so I am learning a lot doing it.
Love this! What's a good nib you'd suggest, what kind do you use here?
Kind of interesting that you use the brush as is but use a rubber add-on to the nib holder. Any reason?
Beautiful hatches and great tips.
I would like to ask you something though: looking at your videos it seems that you hold the pen in a way that the nib is slightly on it's side, instead of having the concave side completely down. Is that what is really happening here, or is it just a wrong visual perception I had?
I do turn it a bit to get a sharper line at times...when the pen is new I will work with it more down...and as it gets more dull I kind of shave the line by the angle. I think that's what you mean/ :)
Yes, that's what I thought. I tried doing something similar, you know, "I'm going to ink like Richard Friend now" he he. But when I did I thought the sensation was a little scratchier than normal. Maybe I am just not doing it the right way and it's just some small adjustment that is lacking. I will keep trying. Thank you!
Why do you call going away from yourself as "pulling"? If you "pull" a fish into a boat, you're not throwing it into the ocean. You're bringing it toward you, not pushing it away. When you say "pull" while pushing away, it's like nodding your head while saying "no". That gets very confusing for the viewer trying to learn.
