Thanks so much! I'm nervous but excited about inking. Been eorking on some drawings (pencil for now)...the next step will be INK! Thanks for your help. I just might hit you up with some questions! It was great meeting you at Palm Con! Thanks again!

you'll be fin. I would say start simply... use a static nib pen, a fountain pen or micron marker... something with waterproof ink. Maybe buy a crowquill nib with india ink to try and a good sable brush that comes to a point; a winsor and newton series 7 #2 or a Raphael 8404 #2. They're kind of pricey but they could give you an idea of how you would use a brush, IF you would use a brush. I'm not sure how extensive your inking experience is but if it's near zero, start off with comfort and then aspire towards speed and result. There are no standard tools for the job but there are definitely tools that will make it a little easier to get certain results. When I put up artwork, I'll write in the description which tools I used to make what effects and if I don't, feel free to ask. It's fun and definitely not something to be scared of. When you make a mistake, just cover it in white acrylic and if you feel a little worried about putting ink line over a drawing that you don't want to ruin, use transparent vellum, place it over your drawing and ink it like that. Have fun with it, Lizzy. Keep me posted on how it goes.
