VOID Characters and Comics / Re: I need Thoughts and Tips on my inking
« on: Dec 24, 2019, 01:24 PM »
my opinion on this is pretty simple. try to get good with a hard edged pen/brush with only width sensitivity if at all. no anti aliasing.
scale the resolution high up 300 so you dont get frustrated with visible pixels in 100% view. this is pretty close to a traditional ink material (if you dont include washes or fading techniques but only pen or brush styles)
having THE fitting inking brush for you is something that will probably never be the case cause it always depends on the usage and taste (it might be just my thought that the tools are secondary). if you find something like that it will be a process that might need time instead of research.
but inking in itself is very straightforward and often depends more on line thickness and line variety in comparision with canvas scale to define form and clear readability.
what i saw from you was clearly a good attempt but you dont have too much controll over your lining yet. how to define form with B/W is something that needs experience.
decide on a ink/pen brush and practice with it. though if you like a specific brush for whatever reason stick with it and practice till you get good results. just dont give up.
in time you will feel like its time to move on but get results first.
