Inking John K's Sody Pop & Raketeena
After some encouragement from John K I stayed in last night and took a shot at inking the other Sody & Raketeena frames. They're not perfect, but I think they capture the energy of John's drawings as well as do a good job of describing form. It's pretty challenging and a little scary to clean up someone else's work, especially when they're a much better draftsman and cartoonist than you. John pointed some areas that need to be fixed which I'll address before I color them.

Awesome man!
That's my baby!
Holy crap! These look great! Helluva good job on these! I think John would be proud to have you as an inker.
Those are sweet.
Hey, what's the chance you'd be willing to do a quick inking and coloring in illustrator tutorial? Whenever I try inking in Illustrator it always proves to be a huge pain in the ass, and the available tutorials on the subject are REALLY weak. Any advice?
A tutorial would be a great idea! I'll put one together this week and post it.
The key is having a Wacom Tablet. I used to use the Pen Tool to create the lines and it took forever and looked stiff. The Brush Tool is much better and feels more like using a brush. The advantage is you get more than one attempt at aeach line! There is also a way to smooth the lines after they're drawn if you have a shaky hand moment.
Nicely done son!!! Congrats on the new work =D
These look great . Excellent roughs from John K (as usual) , but you really captured it in your clean ups.
I , too, would be grateful for an Illustrator tutorial showing how you use Illustrator for inking. I have a Wacom, but I usually use Photoshop or TVPaint for clean up/inking ... have barely touched Illustrator, but I know it's something I need to learn.
Burn the pen tool! I used to do the same thing too. Lots of wasted days... Excellent job!
You Can Give us a tutorial?
great job!!! :D
Congratulations!
Your inking looks fantastic!!!Can't wait to see more!:)
Nice Inks Brian!
