Process: Inking Panels

Here’s how I ink my panels. Still trucking.

1. Outline the boxes. Contain the mess.

2. Write the text with a rapidograph. Using the brush pen could lead to uneven lettering.

3. Use the brush pen to make the speech bubble. Give the text enough room to breathe. Badly fitted text is the worst.

4. This part is my favorite. I get to take flat pencil lines and give them some weight.

5. The dry brush pen was good for the trees-- different textures!

6. Erasing is usually the most boring part... but it's the end. At least for this panel
