  • Mark Morales shows you how a professional inker completes a penciled comic page from start to finish! You’ll learn how he brings pencils to life with ink using an array of materials and methods. He covers techniques like feathering, crosshatching, using different pen nibs, creating the illusion of depth, and more on a Black Panther comic page penciled by Ryan Benjamin. There’s also additional tips on the mindset you should have when collaborating with a penciler so you can enhance their work rather than just tracing it.
    This is just a small sample of what’s covered in the premium course! You’ll get even more technical knowledge from Mark about inking when you sign up at proko.com/marvel

    I have immense respect for inkers. Some of them end up elevating the art of the penciler and end up being unrecognized for the finished piece. Thanks for the lesson Mark Morales.

    Wow. Well done to Proko for persuading the master of inking techniques Mark Morales to share his skills. I have such admiration for Mark’s work. He treats the penciller’s work with such respect, meticulously adding refinements, line work, shading and feathering to an almost superhuman level. Thanks to all for an incredible video.

    There are simply not enough videos online of inkers demonstrating their incredible talents outside of the digital realm! I picked up nib and brush inking last year and let me tell you, its QUITE the challenge! Between attempting to keep a steady hand, having the right ink consistency and amount on your brush/nib, not swiping your hand over wet ink, and most importantly, just having TOTAL CONFIDENCE in each mark you make!

    I'm taking the course and I've also been practicing my drawing on the side. My drawing has increased greatly throughout the year, but my inking is improving at a much slower rate, which is a testament to just how difficult it is and how these amazingly skilled artists go under the radar so much.

    I'm a penciler who grew up on Jim Lee's X-MEn and Mark Morales has altered the course of my future. I feel free, like I can live my life and maybe even have friends again instead of thinking I'm supposed to be spending 40 hours per page penciling every mark.

    • @RogerioPereiradaSilva77
      @RogerioPereiradaSilva77 7 місяців тому +2

      I was the same. I used to spend God-only-knows-how-many hours, painstakingly adding 'fake' feathering using pencils, drawing each muscle and little veins (some that don't even exist, lol!) and tons of other tiny details on pencils - most of which wouldn't even be seen after the art was actually inked, scanned and shrunk on the computer - just to try to imitate 90's comics style and then eventually it just "clicked" on me. I realized that it was a waste of time and simply stopped doing it altogether and then decided to focus on the fundamentals like lightning, composition, storytelling, etc. Since I am my own inker, I don't even do tight pencils anymore and MAN that does feel liberating!!! I'd rather create something quick within two hours or so full of energy than spend days on a drawing that by the time it is finished, I don't even care for it anymore.

      @@RogerioPereiradaSilva77 I'm curious what type of comics you make.
      "than spend days on a drawing that by the time it is finished, I don't even care for it anymore." I think I have a similar experience. After penciling, inking, coloring, and lettering a page I truly hope I never have to look at it again for as long as I live. I'm a self taught artist, so the worst part is how many problems end up in the final versions of my pages despite how much time I spent on them. Oh well.

      @@mythebe1733 Right now I am not making any but I keep entertaining the idea of writing and drawing short stories with a classic American comics style but first I need to streamline my process as much as I can so that I can produce pages fast. Fast as in "perfect is the enemy of good enough" fast, if you catch my drift? As for finding faults on the finished product, I feel the same way with my pieces. No matter how much effort I put into these pieces, I always see things that bug me when I declare them done. I believe most artists feel that way towards their work. But working digital has helped a lot in reaching that speed goal, though.

      Not sure about his black ink (probably Dr. Ph Martin's Black Star).
