Hey I just want to thank u for all the information u share to help people to become better and art. I think ur very good well better then good so I'm trying to build my art work up on ur level I'm not far a way from it with the thanks of ur help please keep the videos going thanks.
Hi Starlyte Sherice! You have no idea how much I appreciate hearing comments like these. Making these videos and just uploading them, who knows who sees them. Then when I read a comment like yours, it makes everything worth it! Thank you so much for watching and subscribing! More great videos coming soon!
Thank you, Comic Art Talk. Yes, there's different tools that can do the same job. I started using the flexable curve before trying out the french curve. Just because I can quickly bend the flexable curve to make that perfect curve, then to try to match up and find it on the french curve.
Another cool vid, Walden! I love learning about new tools of the trade. I recently bought a French Curve set at a yard sale and I'm having a lot of fun learning how to ink with it so this video comes at the perfect time. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!
I appreciate that, Rometiklan! I'm glad this video helped. With the french curve set, there are three different ones. With the whole set, you soould be able to find ANY curve you need. When it comes to larger curves, the flexable curve is the best way to go. Thanks again!
Awesome, William Hernandez! Aside from the metal wired that can snap inside, these Flexible Curves can be used for a very long time! Even the broken ones! Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Hi Doctor Fantastic! Always happy to hear when others leaned from my videos and inspire them. Makes doing these videos worth it! You’ll enjoy using the flex curve as it’ll make you work look polished. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Might I make a suggestion for holding the flex curve in place? Draw on a metal panel and use strong magnets on outside diameter of curve to hold in place. Also on both edges at the ends of the desired section of curve. Hopes this helps!
Robert Suarez thank you so much for the idea. I had to think and imagine what you were saying. But after figuring it out, that’s a GENIUS idea!!! I know where to get strong magnets, now I need to figure out where I can get a flat flush metal panel. Pure Genius, Robert! Thank you for watching and subscribing!
Hi Drawing Art M, definitely! I was planning on making a video that shows all the tools I use for inking and making comics books professionally. Thanks for watching and subscribing! More great videos coming soon!
Hi Racing Psychosis. The flexible curve I’m using actually has a beveled edge on it. One side is beveled and the other side regular. When it’s beveled, that means there’s a raised edge on it, perfect for inking. So the ink doesn’t sleep underneath the bendable ruler and cause an ink smudge. Hope that helps. Thank you for watching and subscribing! More great videos coming soon!
Did you check the other side or even the opposite side of the Flex Curve you have? The beveled edge on mine is located on one side only. The other side doesn't have it. But even if you don't have a beveled edge on your flex curve, it's not all lost. You can still use it for inking curves, just angle the inking pen your using to slightly angle away from the flex curve and that will still work. Give it a try and let me know how that goes for you.
Awesome!!! thanks for that important info!!!
Hi TK aRtzz! Great to hear from you again! Been a while. Thank you for the kind words! I appreciate that.
Straight and to the point. Great example of most forms of curves. Thanks!
Thank you for the kind words.

Excellent tutorial Walden, i always thought french curve was the only way to ink curves. You have shown us a different tool that can do similar job.

Thanks that was really helpful ! Never really knew how to use one before. Now I can dig in out and actually use it.

I love your videos brother, thank you. I learn something and get inspired by each one. I will be buying a flex curve to practice.

Perhaps a metal bulletin board? Should come in various sizes to suit your needs.
Robert Suarez metal bulletin board is a great idea! Thank you so much! Take care and stay safe!
Awesome video. Walden can you show us,in a video,all your items for ink and how to use these professionally?

Walden Wong Art I will wait that video like all others that you make! I just love these kind of videos! I am glad to be subscribed on your channel!
Thank you again, Drawing Art M. I appreciate that very much!
Do you have your raised a little to keep the ink from bleeding under it.

Yep that makes sense. I have one that does not have that, and it would definitely seep underneath if I tried that with a tech pen.
Did you check the other side or even the opposite side of the Flex Curve you have? The beveled edge on mine is located on one side only. The other side doesn't have it. But even if you don't have a beveled edge on your flex curve, it's not all lost. You can still use it for inking curves, just angle the inking pen your using to slightly angle away from the flex curve and that will still work. Give it a try and let me know how that goes for you.
How about adding spacers on one side to create a gap between the flex curve and the drawing surface? That way it will be raised.
*flexible
Yes. But to bend too steep. As the metal wire inside WILL break. Thanks for watching and subscribing!
Yes. I'm just saying saying it's spelled "flexible", not "flexable". Good video though.
Oh, you're right!! Thank you for the catch! I've went and fixed it. Thank you so much!
