altuixde's learning to draw thread

That's even more impressive now that I know you had to ink it all on your own.
Except, all inking done is impressive inking in the eyes of one whose inking skills are about on par with that of an eagle.
altuixde:
I don't think an eagle can even hold a marker. You can't be that bad at inking! ;) The first drawing that I inked came out terrible (I haven't uploaded it). But then I read that, when inking, you're supposed to use long strokes, maybe as few as possible, and also use the natural pivot of your wrist to ink curving lines (spinning the paper around to get the proper angles); and that really helped. I do wish I could have multiple tries at inking, though, but unfortunately markers aren't erasable.

Someone should invent erasable markers. I would pay them good money for that.
In other news, I have this bad luck stroke where no matter how careful I am or how hard I try or how much attention I pay, I ALWAYS end up messing up my best drawings by inking them.
It'll be just fine at first, and then I ink, and suddenly it's not even recognizable.
That WAS good advice, though, so I'll try for sure next time I ink. :)
altuixde:
Do you scan your drawings before inking them? I've taken to doing that just in case... but sometimes I forget to.

I always ink and color my drawings before I scan them, but then again, I ink by hand. If you use a computer program to ink, then I would ink after scanning.
