I have been a painter for as long as I can remember. Inking and linework have never been appealing to me. Now that I'm trying to learn it, I am overwhelmed. It's thanks to tutorials like yours that I manage to make progress.
Thank you so much for watching my video. I’m glad to hear that my video was of help and that you were able to learn from it. If you like these types of videos and want to see more, please subscribe to my channel, if you haven't done so already. More tutorials soon. Thank you!
Brushstrokes are smooth it's like they are floating on the paper. Amazing skill level!
Hi Predicton Mission. Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate that. When I teach people how to ink, I also tell them to lightly hold the brush to float across the paper. You saw that! If you like this video and want to see more tutorials, please subscribe to my channel. More tutorials coming soon! Thanks again!
The white line on the chin helped me a lot. Big difference

7:08 your brush skill is amazing.

Awesome work. I also taper my lines from thin to thick. I just think it’s easier to apply pressure gradually than decrease it.
Hi Gary Banner. Same with me. It’s just easier going from thin to thick. Works more gradually and more controls knowing how thin the tip of the brush is. Sometimes going from thick to thin, that brush may not snap back to a point. Thank you for watching. If you enjoy these videos and like to see more, please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t done so already. Move tutorials coming soon! Thanks again!
I've seen quite a few Inking tutorials but this one is by far the most helpful. Watching how you do the brush strokes so closely is very helpful, especially watching how you blend the tapered lines together going from thin to thick. I've been trying to find a video that show me and this one is PERFECT! Thank you very much!

The best video ever on to explain hatching and crosshatchin
Thank you so much, Michael! I appreciate the kids words. I’ll have more tutorials soon!
Thank you so much for this video. I’ve learned so much from it. I’m a Brazilian color artist learning new skills, and this vídeo sincerely brought me to tears in the beginning. Robson Rocha is a Brazilian comic book artist and he recently passed away due to COVID (a few months ago in fact). I feel this is also an amazing tribute to him and his amazing work. Thank you once again for this amazing video. 🥰
Hi Michelle Rezende. Thank you for the kind words. When I made this video, Robson Rocha was still around. I’m fact, after I’ve inked the piece and uploaded the video, I told Robson and he looked at the art and video. He even responded saying that’s was his old work and not as good. I told him that to me it’s really good and that’s why I wanted to ink this piece. He’s a very kind artist. Thank you again for watching and I’ll have more tutorials coming soon! Stay tuned.
@@WaldenWongArt thank you thank u so much! I’ve already followed you. I’ll be here waiting for new videos. Thx 🥰
@@Chellirsl thank you again! Much appreciated! Will have more videos soon!
Your flow is amazing - I really learn a lot here! And the "Penny-ruler" is worth gold!
Thank you for the kind words, Bobby. More tutorials coming soon!
Beautiful and helpful process! It's really good to see the process in real time, and knowing why the artist is making the decisions he makes gives you a clearer picture.I am an artist myself, but inking is definitive a weak aspect of my art, so watching people like you doing this is a godsend!
Hi Zebass. Thank you for watching my video and the kind words. I appreciate that. I’m glad the video was helpful for you. Yes, I’m an instructor myself and I usually like to talk and explain what’s happening as I go through the process. I think it’s more informative and education for students or viewers like yourself to see and understand my process. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Thank you again for watching my video.

You should talk more about HOW you establish where the light AND
heavy inking is to take place. And, the preparation in the drawing
itself, BEFORE you start inking.
Hi Ray. Thank you for watching my video. That’s a great idea! I’ll make more videos in the future explaining that process. I realized not everyone watches all my videos and I should summarize the process as I go. Thanks again for watching!
This actually really helped me in terms of digital inking. I got a lot of new ideas, thanks man
Hi Philip Johnson! I'm glad my video was of help! The technique and skill with inking applies to both traditionally and digital inking.

Great video. It never dawned on me to use an Aqua brush without filling up the reservoir. I always loved their concept but like you said, I could never control the ink flow. Thanks for the great video!
Hi ColbyZ. Thank you for watching my video. Yes, a lot of wipe still think you need to fill up the reservoir with ink to do the work and I always explain to them, there’s much more control with dipping the ink and not filling it.

As for the top of the lips, I prefer lighter, thinner lines; this provides,
not only a 'break' from all those thicker lines, but a bit more realism.
Even a 'Broken line' works great for the lips.
Hi Ray. Thank you for watching my video. Yes, usually when inking, I like to have the top lines thinner and sometimes broken. While the bottom lines thicker where the shadow areas are. Thanks again for watching!
Fantastic skills! I've tried inking over the years, with brushes, pens, etc., but I've never been able to really master it. Thanks for the tutorial. It's inspired me to try again!

Oh man…my background is theme park caricatures, and we had to pencil and ink so fast, I thought cartoonists like yourself had to work lightning quick, too. You have no idea how happy and relieved I am to see you taking your time and enjoying it!
Hi Ted Bragg. Thank joy for watching my video. I’m glad you enjoyed it. Yes, when I have to ink a single regular page for a comic, it takes me between 9 to 14 hours to complete, depending on how little and how much detail. It really is a lot of work and it takes time. If you enjoy these types of video and like to see more, please subscribe to my channel for more tutorials. Thanks again!
Awesome tutorial, and beautiful inks, Walden! You always present your videos so clearly and expertly. You do your blacks and line weights with such ease. What is your opinion of brush pens? Pentel, Micron, Faber-Castell, and Tombow make brush pens that I've considered buying and using. Thanks so much for all you do for us, and stay well, my friend!
Hi Rometiklan! Thank you for the kind words, my friend. The Aquash Brush pen that you see me using in the video is my favorite. I've tried all the other brush pens out there and they all work well. I just this Aquash Brush pen because it doesn't cost as much to replace and very little maintenance. Other brushes such as Windsor & Newton or Raphael, when I'm done inking, I would need to wash, shampoo, and condition. This brush I use, I don't even need to clean. I just keep using it over and over. Also, the Pentel, Micron, Faber-Castell, and Tombow brushes are also good for when I'm traveling or doing commissions at comic book conventions. I won't have to carry bottle of ink with me and these brush pens can do the job just as quick. Sometimes they'll run out of ink, but you can still continue using them by dipping it into ink. There ARE other brush pens where the 'brush' isn't really a brush with hairs. They're more like a foam or felt that's shaped like a brush. They can be good for the beginning of it's use, but after a while, that sharp tip disappears. When that happens, that brush pen is only good for spotting big ink areas. Hope that answers your question, Rometiklan! Thank you for all your support, my friend. Stay safe and be well!
I know I'm late, but this video was great and helped a lot with a drawing I'm working on. You're awesome bro

Your videos are super informative and helpful. You make me want to draw. Watching you feed the crowquil nib over your inking makes me so nervous. Haha. Thank you for sharing.
Hi Jessie. Thank you for the kind words. To be honest, I don’t usually feed my crow quill over my artwork when I ink. I did feed it on camera so viewers know how often I need ink. It gives aspiring artists an idea how often I go for more inn. Thank you for watching. If you enjoy these types of video and like to see more, please subscribe to my channel for more tutorials. Thanks again!
Walden is the man! A true master of the craft! I compare his work to others and he is a beast of an inker! I joined his Patreon and he is a great teacher and is super insightful. He has pointed out things I really needed to hear. I appreciate all his efforts and am shocked he doesn’t have a bigger following because he deserves it! (I am sure the channel will grow over time) I appreciate all his efforts and dedication to his students. Keep up the inspiring work Walden!! One thing I’ve noted is he uses all the tools in his bag it really changed how I approach my inks, my new mantra: WWWD. (What would Walden do! ) All the best from the East Coast!
Hi Keith V! Thank you for all the kind words. I appreciate that very much! I hope this video can be of help. When I started learning how to ink, I would watch other artist 'preform' the craft. But once in a while, there would be other artist who would take the time and show me how to ink a little bit of the same piece I've done. Which I've learned the MOST from. This is why I create these videos, so other aspiring artist can see how I use the tools and the way I render. Seeing the 'performance' shows so much more. Haha. I live the "WWWD" mantra! Made my day! Thank you again for the idea about this video, my friend. I'll talk to you soon! Stay safe and healthy!
Hi Keith. If you don't mind me asking, what level on Waldens Patreon are you a member on? I am also considering it (already spoken to Walden about it)!
@@adamdhilton Hi Adam! I am doing the $50.00 tier. It just fits me the best. I look forward to the critiques when I complete my work. The insight and recommendations to improve is what I need as an aspiring inker. Between his videos on you tube and his correspondence I have been improving and its slowly coming together and am having AH HA moments etc. Bottom line, he is a super nice guy and super humble but the truth is he is one of the best out there! Whichever you decide I wish you the very best on your journey!
You’re an awesome artist as well as an editor :)
Hi Nausicaa! Thank you for the kind words. I appreciate that very much.
Ah damn! The pennies mate! That's a great idea! Dammit I should've thought of that! Thank you!
Hi Michael! Thank you for watching my video! I’m glad it was of help! Using Pennies help lift up the ruler to give it a beveled edge. Plus, you can see through the acrylic ruler. Sometimes I’ll kid around with other artist friends and tell them to use quarters. Why? So it’ll make the ruler more valuable. haha. Thanks again for watching and please sub my channel for more tutorials coming in the future!
Awesome
Hi Pablo Pazos. Thank you!
I always test the waters with fountain pens on scrap paper, too many times I've scratched up the pages or started with a blob.🤣
Hi LilLadyA, yes, majority of the time when I do inking work, I’ll text my tools on a scratch piece of paper to see how it works first. Once I get it going the way I like, then I’ll start inking.

Must know your product well to be dipping over your work.
Must be a professional thing ❤
Hi Jerry. Thank you again for watching my video and for this comment. Haha. That was funny. I actually don’t dip ink over the artwork usually. But in the past when I make real time inking videos, viewers ask how often I would need to dip ink. Because I was doing that off screen. So for demonstrations, I would show the camera when I would need to get ink. And believe me, it’s nerve racking when I’m holding that bottle of ink over the artwork for the camera to see. Because anything can happy and accidentally spill ink over the art. Haha.
Wow, I'm amazed. You are really good at hand-drawing! I think a lot of artists would not be able to draw like you because used to draw on graphic tablets having well-adjusted brushes. Really really cool! 🌠🔥

Thanks again for watching and stay tuned for more!
I prefer the Copic Multiliner pens. They are refillable and the inks are true black and waterproof.
Hi Keith Aguilar! Yes, Copic Multiliner Pens are also pretty good. Nice and dark. They’re refillable just like all the other microns and fineliners out there. If you look at one of my nose vied video, I made a tutorial on how to refill those microns and fineliners. Not a lot of artist know they can do they.

Hi legkick1! Thank you so much! Congratulation to ALL 2020 Graduating class this year. It was a rough one, but everyone made it! Yeaaaa!!!
just found this channel, very helpful in my quest to become a better inker. is there a similar channel for coloring comic books?
Hi Okaf Andres, thank you for the kind words and thank you for subscribing to my channel for more. I don’t know if there are any other TH-cam channels out there that’s similar in my format. But I’ll also eventually start releasing comic coloring videos soon. Stay tuned. I’ve already had one video where I’m drawing, inking and coloring on a graphic tablet. Check out my other videos and look for that thumbnail with a Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtle.
Hi Walden! Awesome video as always. Btw, which ink did you use to feed the quill?
Hi Tanish. Thank you for watching my video. For the quill, I’ll use the high ones black magic ink as I find that ink is the right consistency to hold on the quill and not too liquid to flow out too quickly. Here’s a link to amazon with the same exact brand I use. www.amazon.com/dp/B007YCOTFY/ref=cm_sw_r_as_gl_api_gl_i_175Z5N40H2F2ZSFS4SFM?linkCode=ml2&tag=waldwongramb-20

I always wipe the edge of my ruler with a tissue with some Windex on it. Because if you don't it will smear your panel boarder lines! I also always have a piece of paper underneath my hand while I'm inking. So that you don't smear the ink all over the your drawing!
Hi Loring Bush. Thank you for watching my video. I’ve seen other artist use windex to clean off their ruler to ink so the ink doesn’t smear on the paper. What I do is I’ll attach coins underneath the ruler to give it a beveled edge. To make the ruler raised up slightly. So if ink does attached itself to the ruler, it still won’t touch the paper as it’s now levitated. When I ink, I mentally keep track of where I last inked and making sure my hands stay away from the inked area so I don’t accidentally smudge the ink. Ink usual drys in less than a minute and it won’t smear afterward. Especially waterproof India ink. Now if I were to use some kind of non waterproof ink or a ball point pen ink, those ink is going to smear and I would use a paper to separate my hand from the inked area. Which is why I prefer using waterproof inking ink. Those won’t smear when dried
Excellent video my friend!

This is very nice video Mr. Wong. This is my humble request you to upload a digital inking process in Photoshop..please.
Hi Frank. Thank you for watching my video. That’s a great request. I’ll make a digital inking video in the future. Until then, you can also see some of my digital inking methods in some of my Art Review and Critique videos. Check them out when you can. Thanks again for watching!
This video was so helpful, I completely misconstrued what inking is, I thought you just colored in the large areas black, I didn’t know you draw over everything.
Hi InfamyOrDeath, I’m glad the video was enlightening. Thank you for watching. If you enjoy these videos and like to see more, please subscribe to my channel if you haven’t already. More tutorials coming soon!
great video. I didn't know inking was still around in the industry. Where can i find pencil drawings to use for practice?
Hi dcsanders92. Yes, comic publishers still use inking today. Without the inking, the comic art would be greyish from pencils. Some artist do digital art and they still ink digitally. Thank you for watching. If you enjoy these types of video and like to see more, please subscribe to my channel for more tutorials. Thanks again!
Wonderful video I have watched a dozen times. Ready to try on some of my drawings but have a stupid question. What are you using to clean the ink from your brushes and pens?
Hi Alex. Thank joy for watching my video. That’s not a stupid question at all. I rarely clean my brushes. I just leave the ink there on the brush for months sometimes. And if brush tips every gets stiff from the ink, I just swish the brush into a bottle of water for a few seconds, press down on it to crack that stiffness, and I’m off to inking again. There’s really no need to clean these Aquash Pentel Brush pens as their made of nylon. As for the quill pens, I’ll just used a rag to wipe it clean and dry. Never used water and that will make your quill nibs rust instantly. The only pens I do need to clean are the Rapidograph KoKinoor technical pens. And here’s my video on how I do that. th-cam.com/video/IY3mwzhg8MU/w-d-xo.html
Thank you again for watching my video and don’t forget to subscribe if you haven’t already. I’ll have more tutorials coming soon!
I draw digitally and this works for me pretty well thank you sir

@@WaldenWongArt yeah just followed you there thanks a lot man and keep up the great work
@@ismailyoussefart thank you again, Ismail!
awesome job! I did cringe at the fact the panel boarders were not inked first, but it was a tutorial video, so still good job! lol.
Hi poisonelvis! Truth be told, I wasn't going to ink the pencil boarders, but when I was done with it, I decided to just go for it. lol. When I work for Marvel and DC Comics, panel boarders are the FIRST thing I ink before anything else. Keeps everything inside the boxes! Thank you for watching and subscribing!
I can't even finish the video. I have been on TH-cam for a really long time and I've literally never seen even close to this many ads in a video. There was a lot of great info while I could stick through the ads every minute.
Hi Aaron Toft! I had no idea the video has so many ads, I just went in and looked at it myself. I was able fix it to not have that many ads. Now I need to go into my other videos to do the same so there isn't that many. Thank you for much for letting me know. Aside from the ads, if you enjoy these types of videos and like to see more of then, please subscribe to my channel for more tutorials. Thank you again, Aaron!
@@WaldenWongArt Thank you for taking care of that! glad I said something. It really was a great video, was trying to get into it while eating dinner and the ads kept popping up lol. Anyways, subscribed! Looking forward to more awesome videos. Have a good day!
Thank you again, Aaron! I’m slowing going back to all my other videos to make sure there’s not that many ads. Anytime you have questions about anything, let me know. Thanks again! I should have another video soon!
Thank you for the video. How thin shpuld be the brush? 0.8?
Hi Fikioris. Thank you for watching my video. The Aquash Brush pen you see me using in the video only comes in three size. Large, medium, small and flat. So the one I’m using is small. Here’s a link to the same brushes you see me using this this video. amzn.to/3Sv8BL9

Thank you for the video.
I need to practice with my ink pens. I have a 25 inking pen pack from FiveBelow that work amazingly well. I just need to go back to traditional. The brush pens in the pack aren't as sexy as this, but they're very good for the price.
Hi Kou D3x! The more you practice, they more you'll get used to the art tools. The brush pen I'm using, doesn't cost that much for a set. Compared to those fancy Windsor & Newton or Raphael brushes. Here's a link to a four pack. Breaking it down, that's just about $6 each. Anything you order from my Amazon Links, I get a little bit of kick back. Thank you for watching and please subscribe if you haven't yet. More videos soon!

Thank you so much for the tutorials and tips! I always loved that inking style which is my favorite! And what's the name of the character?
Hi John, thank you for watching my video. I’m glad it was of help. The name of this character is Psylocke, from Marvel Comic’s X-Men franchise.

Do you only dip the aquash brush and not use the reservoir? Just clean with water when done?
Hi Myron Mielke! I only dip the aquash brush and not used the reservior. You may have see some of my other videos where I HAVE filled the reservoir. And I fill those ones where the brushes because the brush tips are not sharp anymore. I'll use those to fill in large ink areas.
I also get asked that same question about cleaning when done. I don't wash them clean as often as they are nylon brushes. The Aquash Brush is just like those other brushes in the market where they have pre-filled ink in the reservoir. When artist use THOSE brush, they never clean them. They just keep using them over and over again until they're all out of ink. If they were to clean them after every use, that would mess up the ink inside the reservoir. And you're able to use that brush over and over without cleaning. That's why I love using this brush. Once in a LONG while, I will give the Aquash brush a few swirls in the water. That's when the ink is dried out on the brush tips on non usage. But I usually ink everyday it there's no chance of it getting dried out. Other than that, I just ink, put brush away, and come back later to continue inking. Hope that answers your question. Thank you for watching and please subscribe if you haven't done so already. More videos coming soon!

Your thoughts on bernie wrightson inking?
Hi Kaiesis. Thank you for watching my video. I absolutely love Bernie Wrightson’s work. Inking as well as both penciling and ink. He’s a legend along legends. Love his work so much that I was able to ink a commission over one of his pencils. Here’s the link to my video where I showed my inks over Bernie Wrightons pencils. This one is a good video.

@@WaldenWongArt Great Walden my friend... I'm already subscribed to the channel and I like to see how you make the final art in the drawings. It's a great learning experience to see you in action. ;)
@@reinaldobatistadasilva1781 thank you so much, my friend! I appreciate you watching my video! Thanks again!
So this is the real speed at which inking is done? At least when done right.. I’ve been used to seing so many ffw videos that this looks almost painstakingly slow, but in a good way 🙂 thank you for this!
Hi Ciprian Morariu. Thank you for watching my video. Yes, this is real time speed at how I’ve ink that small panel, which was about 2x4 inches ik size. I also make fast forward videos as well. And there are some videos on my channel that’s over three hours long. Also real time drawing, inking and coloring. If you enjoy this video and like to see more, sun my channel. I’ll have more tutorials and art demonstrations soon! Thanks again!
what role do you recommend for the use of ink?
Hi anderson garcia. When I use the ink for the artwork, I'll usually ink everything that's drawn in pencil and erase the pencils underneath afterwards. In the case of this video, I'm inking over 'bluelines' which is a scan of the pencils, and I take the file scan and convert it to a light blue and ink on top of that. Once that's done, I don't have to erase any of the pencils. So I'll scan the inks and the blue lines won't show up. Hope that answers your question. Thank you for watching.

Hey top video again Walden,but that made me nervous was filling your nib above your artwork 🥺
Thank you, Tony! Using the bottle on top of the artwork was just for the video. To show how often I would dip the ink. When I’m not making videos, I don’t do that on top of the artwork. That’s scary. Haha
Should you cross hatch some areas of the face?
Thank you so much for watching my video. You can absolutely cross hatch some areas of the face. When I draw faces, I try to be mindful of how many lines I add to the faces. As more lines can make the character look older. Hope that helps. If you like these types of videos and want to see more, please subscribe to my channel, if you haven't done so already. More tutorials soon. Thank you!
Great video! Do you fill the Aquash brush with water or just load the brush tip with ink?
Hi Opolliqo. Good question that I always get asked. I don’t fill the Awuash brush with water, ink or anything. I just use the brush to dip ink and use it like that to ink. Much cheaper than buying a $25 brush, it has a larger barrel that’s easier to hold, and that authentic brush top always keeps the top nice and sharp.

Thank you! I’ll have more tutorials coming soon!
The reason then I see you're videos is because you're one of the best inker than I know whit Jimmy reyes.
You're videos are very constructive and interesting to watch.
Also to by honest I love video of
inking real time whit the artist talking
about something at the same time that
he is inking.

Thank you so much for the kind words!
Thanks for made this tutorial! Very helpful.. by the way what size pentel aquash water brush do you use??
Hi rahman lia. Thank you for watching my video. I use the smallest size aquash water brush. There’s really no need for larger size brush when I use as. If I need a really thick line, I’ll just ink in two lines and fill in the insides. With a thicker brush, you don’t have the versatility. Thank you so much for watching my video.

@@WaldenWongArt Yes, so I'm planning to buy one after getting a response from you. This is very nice, I think it will suit me. thank you for responding.

i just got into sketching with my lamy safari, and just started working on aspects of layers on pipes that are, say, piled up, only using my fountain pen. this is totally way out of my league
Hi Just Some Salty Boi. Thank you for watching my video. You can do it. Sometimes when I see a lot of details in art, I’ll break it down into smaller sections and concentrate one at a time. This way, it’s not a daunting. By the time you’re finished with each section, you’ll be done in no time.
