LIA Cast 52 - What We Think When We Ink
Inking! It's an outmoded method of comics creation, right? Thanks to recent technological advancements, we can make print-ready comics out of any medium we wish. But doesn't that mean that using ink lines on our work becomes an even more artistic endeavor?
This week we talk a bit about the special affordances found when using ink in our illustration work. We explore how one can stumble upon technique, creating an "inking taxonomy," and how inking expresses inner realities while mimicking outer reality.
We close with some tool demonstrations and a few Stupid Helpy Tips!
