Cost of making comics

[handrawn]

by the way - when I do this in [another] vector program I make the pencil lines a pinkish red

I give them a lot of transparency so they are very faint - that way they are much more like the faint 2 or 3 H pencil I would use on paper, and the contrast of the pink is a bonus

WW, have you ever watched Bob Hahn draw with Xtreme?

Ah OK.. Well, looks like all WW needs is the three P's

Why do you need to erase pencil lines from your sketch when you're inking over them? Why not just ignore the pencil lines you don't want to ink? It's the same thing you'd do if you were inking them using a real marker, pen, or fountain pen. You're just using your pencil sketch as a guide and it's not going to be a part of the finished comic, right?

I must be missing something. Yes? No?

Because i like clear line some pencil lines may be best left out and i may need to erase them but here it is what I just did. The original and the inked one after blocking the the sketch. Now i only need to color the sketch in another layer right?

Ive seen Bob`s tutorial yes but its not post 120. What are the 3 P`s?

[steve.ledger]

Post #120 was where you mentioned that you had seen BH's tutorials

The 3 P's are Practice, Practice and Practice (as my old music teacher used to say)

I colored a bit in a new layer but it still overlaps the inked layer. Maybe ill leave the coloring for Gimps
