Inking with a Lightbox
Added 2017-04-25 07:50:54 +0000 UTCI am experimenting with my video setup, using equipment I already have.
This is a short Work In Progress peek at how I do my inking for real media conbadges. I do a sketch separately in pencil and then ink it using a light box for a totally clean coloring surface when its ready to be colored.
The sketch is on regular printer paper, the paper I am putting the ink on is 110lb cardstock.
I am using two sizes of inking pen in this demo, Micron 08 and Micron 005. This cartoony illustration will become a con badge for a client! It was done on commission. The illustration is inked with the size 08 across the whole piece, small details are added with an 005, and then line weight is added with the 08 again, this is done in areas where a shadow would hit if the light is coming from one direction.
I apologize the video is not continuous and does not end when I am finished, it was my first try at a new small tripod w/ phone holder. And my phone ended up running out of space :'( but I got good views of my inking style, so it was still worth a share!
Let me know if you like videos like this, and I will do my best to keep it up!
