Thanks, Thomas. This is arriving to me at just the right time in my artistic growth process. Your explanation of each process is helping me be clearer about what my tasks are at each step of making a comic.
That's so great to hear! I'm glad this comes at the right time for you :) Good luck with your continued learning and let me know of there are any other topics or issues you'd like me to address 👍
Thank you for your Amazing Video Thomas can you make one of your thoughts about coloring in images or how which colors work better together again thank you 🎨🖌️
@blueoceans6459 Thank you for watching! I've been meaning to make a video about coloring. I'm far from an expert at colors haha, it's a real struggle for me, so I'm not sure how much advice there will be 🤣
Wow, that was great: ) So cool to see the close-ups of you inking, and esp. getting the super tactile feel. That scratching sound was oddly meditative too. Ha ha. What was really cool to see was how much you made the nib-inked version pop by just a few accents w/the fude pen! That was like a magic trick. What exactly are you thinking about when you make those kind of choices, to make an accent here rather than there, and then BAM, it's done? That was fantastic. It made me love that version the most. The variety of textures was so subtle that it made the drawing seem suddenly alive.
Thanks so much! I'm glad you enjoyed the video and that's a great question about the Fude pen accents. I used them where I thought I could best suggest some sense of a slight shadow, just for a bit of contrast. So, if you notice, those lines are on one side one side of her, and the rest are little corners and nooks where shadow might be. Not over thought out, but sort of instinctual. Hope that helps 👍
@@thomaspitilli That's awesome! I would definitely like to move toward that instinctual capability. Ha ha. So this is a kind line weight/light source thing? Maybe I just need way more work on those fundamentals to be able to "see" your logic when you hit those accents. I def. tend to overthink that kind of stuff and end up w/a mess.
That's just what I had on hand. Plus, it's something different that forces me to think a little differently about my approach. I gotta get some G nibs soon though!
I totally love working with a maru (hard) mapping nip.
Your art is even more fantastic because you also play bass!
Thank you, haha! I'm not so sure I "play" it, as much as I try and make some kind of coherent sound out of it 🤣

@@thomaspitilli Facial expressions!

Oh wow, you actually convinced me to try out a brush, and see how it goes, though im still terrified of mistakes, compared to doing it digitally
@DarkTider It takes some time to get used to, but the results are worth it in my opinion. Enjoy and let me know how it goes!
the longer my lines need to be the more sporadic my line weight tends to get, so the nikko mapping pen is good to counteract that for me.
Beautiful work. Very inspiring video, Thomas. Thanks for presenting this!
@@dancingdog60 I'm glad you liked it 😊 Thanks for watching!
Great comprehensive inking video tom!! 👍👍
@@bgaston14 Thanks Ben!

Same inking can be done with the pen but it would just take more time.

@badicecream2913 Perhaps I'll make a video on it some time...
@@thomaspitilli Yeah! That would be amazing! Your takes on inking are really outstanding, so the more of them the better: ) Thanks again!
Instead of a maru pen + fountain pen, why not a Gpen from the beginning ? You would have thin/ thick lines variations.
That's just what I had on hand. Plus, it's something different that forces me to think a little differently about my approach. I gotta get some G nibs soon though!
what brand of ink you use with brush?
