How to Ink a Drawing

14, 8:25 AM.jpg
A while ago, I went to a cartooning class and learned a bunch of things about drawing, and one of my faves is inking. Inking is going over with markers (preferably sharpie) in a special way. My teacher told us not to call it tracing, because it would offend inkers everywhere. :)
But that's pretty much what it is. So let's do it!!!

What You Need

- a piece of paper

- a pencil

- a regular sharpie and a thin sharpie pen
(Or just a black marker)

Start drawing! But don't put too much detail like shade. And anything that should be colored black leave blank. You will fill it in soon

Now if you have a sharpie trace over every thing in the skinny sharpie and in regular sharpie color in every black thing such as hair

If you don't, just use a marker and do the exact same thing

Finished!

Just erase those pencil lines and color, and you are done!
