    realizing you can work on each line instead of just doing one pass with the pen is such a mindblowing discovery for me

    I’m here in the corner thinking if I should make comics digitally or traditionally.

      Do both and see what you like

    • @turtleguy123r3
      @turtleguy123r3 3 роки тому +185

      The correct answer is both because art is art and using different mediums can be fun!

    • @kaeyta3568
      @kaeyta3568 3 роки тому +69

      You can do both, like lineart on traditional and color digitally

    • @randomalex5119
      @randomalex5119 3 роки тому +17

      I do a mix of both and still can't decide. Maybe actually mixing both mediums and making a comic with both ( ;-;)

      @@randomalex5119 Some veteran pros still ink traditionally, because it gives more energy and you're not gonna spend time correcting without reason. It just gives more life to your drawing. The neatest trick is to print your digital penciling in a non-photo color alongside the layout on your paper, and then scan it back to color digitally. You do need access to a good laser-printer, and large-format scanner if you're drawing on 11x17" bristol boards. Otherwise you can use a non-photo blue lead to pencil out and it won't show when scanning in black and white.

    I am left-handed too. I would start on the right side of the paper and work my way to the left side of the paper then the doodles should never be covered. Love your work!

    Yooooo that tip about rendering a soft edge by (basically) making a “zipper”…. Priceless. I have never seen anyone explain inking that inverted (white line) taper pointing back at the shadow shape. My mind is blown.

    Wow how could 30 seconds of your information explain more than me going to school and “learning shading” for three months. I did go to public school but my teacher never really explained the technique. For example I hate cross hatching, but as it turns out I was doing it wrong. You taught me so much thanks

    this is fantastic. thanks so much. when i started drawing in pen and ink, we used rapidographs. i liked the real thin line pens and they’d always dry out. :) the pens we have now are so much easier. thanks for the white out pen. i had no idea there were such pens.
    n.b. i still have all my nibs. i loved those. i took scientific illustration in college and now just doodle. but i learned so much from this vid :) ✒️🖊️〰️🟰🀄️

    really cool stuff!!! ive been trying to apply more hatching in my artwork but im finding that i either dont have enough interesting variations in my piece, or i do too much in the wrong places. basically my inkwork fluctuates between messy/confused and bland/sterile. do you have any advice or recommendations on how you would apply the different styles youve demonstrated in this video? like which you would recommend for portraits and character illustrations and which are better for landscapes or objects? and which you would recommend to represent different values in an illustration versus which you would use to demonstrate depth and texture? sorry if none of this makes sense lol

  • @Killer_Oldman

    Might want to try the Kurotake No. 50 Brush pen. Refills with a Platinum Fountain pen converter (I use the Platinum Carbon Ink). Very nice if you are used to a regular brush and ink since it's Sable hair, and you can also get replacement heads if you wear down the brush. It can do a fine hair to broad strokes, but it does take good control. There are 2 less expensive versions of the same brush pen, one with a simpler body (the No. 30 I think?) And another with a Nylon brush head that's not refillable IIRC.

      Kuretake #13 brush pen has synthetic bristles, is a fountain pen, and can make lines of decently-varying width. You can get spare cartridges for it.

    At 9:20, it's probably not the "proper" term, but I'd call that a terminator if I was hard pressed. The actual definition of a terminator is the "line" where the object goes from mostly in the light, to mostly in shadow, aka the "halfway line" around a shaded sphere, but I'm not sure what else I'd refer to it as. Maybe the spot black boundary?

    This is all great, but I’m really bad at applying these tones and lines to actual shapes. I don’t know what direction to go much less keep them consistent. Do you have demonstrations? And I don’t mean some sample sphere. I’m talking about organic shapes that have curves and corners and lighting conditions.

    What do you do for eye exercises? I'll draw for 8 hours a day sometimes and my eyes take so long to readjust. I'm in a small room and so maybe I should look at the window at something far away for 20 seconds or so, every couple of minutes - but then I realize 3 hours have passed and I haven't looked out the window even once.
