I appreciate others who still use traditional tools. I use Rotring rapidographs, they have cartridges which make for easy fill up. Also little to no mess. Always love to watch you work. Great page too.
I was thinking about it literally YESTERDAY "Man, I love Rich's demo videos. I hope he gets to do more of those." Somehow watching your hand movements helps a lot! And I get to look at your technique in real time!
it gets good towards the end. It really shows the wrist technique I use and how steady my hand is. maximize and dial in your body...I learned it, by doing it over a period of time I would guess...but it seems to work and gives me good control.
Always enjoyable watching you work Rich. I need to keep working on throwing my lines instead of always pulling. Motivational watching how quick and confident you were moving through the different areas.
Digital is fun to watch and is (probably) less time consuming. But traditional inking is meditative. Seeing and actually working on it. *Man, I gotta go back to inking something again. Been on paint media for quite some time now. I miss inking. Anyway, great video. Informative, educational, and entertaining. 😄👍🏻

16:45 I worked about 15 years of my working life (52 years) on a tmouse and keyboard doing heavy typing and page manipulation for newspapers. If you're talking typewriter keyboard, then computers for data manipulation, it would be about 32 years of my time. Result is my wrists and fingers are a wreck. IMO that kind of work -- as opposed to my day-to-day drawing over 3-4 hours a day -- is far more detrimental to my wrists and hands.
The only Rapidograph pen I have is the yellow colored one, it's an old model when there was still quality control and the lettering on the barrel isn't cheaply misprinted, even so I have no idea how Travis Charest inked all his works with those pens, maybe the paper was smoother and better back then but trying it with Strathmore Bristol 300 smooth is pure torture.
I try inking digital just didn’t feel right, now I print in blue line and ink. I feel more comfortable inking blue because if you miss up, just print it out again
If I have digital art that I want to try inking traditionally, how do I go about putting the digital art on paper? I assume by printing it but do I have to print it on specific paper? Just regular printer isn't really the best, is it? Would this be the best method to practice inking someone else's pencils if you only have the digital version of it?
Damn, this video is really usefull. Do you know Evan cagle and Nico delort? I really don't understand if they use water color under their inking or not. Can you analizar their ink workstyle?
I am selling art every day on facebook and also comicartfans. I am not sure a link will go through...check the message below so I am sure this one will go through...if you don't see the link...let me know!
Interesting to hear your comments on bluelines. I had a traditional penciler bitch to me about how his inker would make blueliners _himself_ and ink over those, thereby reducing the penciler's resale value! _LOL_ But it's as you say: It depends on a lot of factors. What I've always found offensive was that original art was considered (quite a bit) less valuable if it didn't showcase an important _character!_ What total crap! Like the actual *_art_* was less important. Phooey.
lately the multiliner refills and nibs in Canada have been more money than buying a whole new set of multiliners (the 10 pen set) and just using a new one. I'm looking for a new source but so far nothing.
hello, can you do another look at berserk's art? to pay tribute to the great author and illustrator Kentaro Miura that has past away unfortunately on the 6th of may 2021, rip and #Thankyoumiura
I hate the digital patterns they are using/popular with manga. They cant even make their own variations to mix it up. Just clip paint. The placement isnt even a true gradient or what any artist would have wanted - its just fast and easy like the 3d models they keep tracing now. It's reallynight and day the difference between someone doing the real inking vs digital.
God bless comic book artists. It takes dedication to redraw something in ink.
Yeah! Interviewing Miki and Hope would be awesome.

This is a good idea, retrofitting info rather than in the moment!
Quality work here. Olschool rules.
Great inks, Rich!
Doing sets of lines with less than 5 degrees of separation gets a cool moire effect. Otomo did that a lot on Akira.
Fantastic content. I need to join the Patreon for sure.
Wow Thank You for Sharing So Cool

I agree bro,digital can be spotted in two seconds

Yeah. The paper was genuinely better. Its not a legend. It really felt like art "board". It hard a true "hard top" on it. Not the mush we get now.
@@RichardFriendartist That's a big issue, the metal of Rapidographs pulls the fibers of the paper and it's just a mess.

This was such a cool watch. Rich, which specific brushes do you use these days?
I generally use a Windsor Newton series 7 number 3 size.
@@RichardFriendartist Thanks, only used the 2s until now, will have to give the 3s a try.
whenever i blue line the ink tends not to sink into the paper and the blue is always visible under the ink. how do you avoid this?
How can someone buy original art from you? Do you have a website that you use to sell your work?

I have heard of that. I'd never make bluelines behind a pencilers back.

One watched with video 3 times and I’m still not at pro level. I’m gonna have to learn the old fashion way aren’t. Practice. 😭
What's the size of the paper?
comics are usually done on 11x17, but there's a bunch of bleed/trim that goes on after the fact.

Tomorrow we are going to dedicate super fun sunday to him. Thank you
