#digital inking tutorials

This rascally deva is one of the many illustrated examples I’ve included in the upcoming Proportions Lesson from HTDC.

My aim in this illustration was to give her pose that was as dynamic as possible to show how the proportions of a character warp when they’re posed in perspective.

This is one of the core challenges many of us run into when it comes to drawing comic book characters in complex poses – being able to move the human figure freely on the page, while still making sure they measure up correctly!

I have to admit, this pose was pretty darn tricky to nail – even for me. I actually had to go back over it a number of times before I managed to get it to look right.

IN CASE YOU MISSED IT – I’ve created a brand new Comic Art Tutorial where you’ll see the entire inking process for this wild-haired vixen unfold.

The video goes for 30min, and I’ve narrated the entire thing – Walking you through the 3 Step Inking Process I like to use to achieve consistent results in my Comic Book Illustrations.

I’ll also reveal my approach to inking and rendering darker materials, such as the skin-tight lycra outfit this lovely lady is rockin’.

-- THE 3 STEP INKING PROCESS --

Well after gulping down way too many mugs of coffee… I’ve finally finished editing, compiling and uploading a brand-spankin’ NEW tutorial for you! This must be some kind of record - 2 tutorials in 2 weeks? Is this real?

Yup, it’s real – And in this video you’re going to learn all about rendering darker tones and materials, whether it be for costumes made of skin-tight lycra, or brunette colored hair do’s. 

But that’s not all!

You’re also going to get an in-depth look at the 3 step inking process I follow to achieve consistent and predictable results in my work. 

Plus a bunch of other neat tips and tricks.   

There’s also a surprise announcement (+ a very important update) about the upcoming Proportions Lesson from HTDC, at the end of the video. You’re not going to want to miss it either, so make sure you watch it right through to the end.

1 down, 1 to GO!

These heroines are part of the new Proportions Lesson coming soon from HTDC.

In this particular chapter they'll be used to highlight how the Proportions of a character visually appears to change when foreshortened in Perspective...

(of course our proportions don't ever actually change - it just appears that way from different perspectives)...

I've also included a demonstration of the inking process for this illustration in a brand new tutorial I've created for you!

So in case you missed it, here it is... https://youtu.be/5cg7M9L5hS0
