MS5 supports that, you can probably do it in PHS using the right brushes. Trace manually using a pencil tool in a rasterized layer. This takes less time, however, you need to go in detail and make sure all the lines are properly arranged to give an harmonious look. Each of these software packages support changing the line with later. In this case, when using a tablet, the software can detect the pressure and you can have a nice looking line).

Tracing using a vector tool such as the AI paint brush tool, the pencil or the pen (SBD 2013 has the ability to add vector based curves, SAI- vector layer). They look very nice, but in my mind it's a lot of work. Tracing using the Pen tool (AI or PHS) and defining closed shapes that represent the ink edges of the figure. The first video shows you how to do a brushįrom what I've seen there are several methods:

I know Illustrator contains some features that that can trace your drawing in one swoop but I haven't tried it yet. Since then I started to question the efficiency of inking via the computer. I ended up doing it by hand in two hours, pencils and pigma micron pens. I struggled quite a lot (days) trying to digitally ink it in a way that I like it. I started off by trying to do it digitally. Maybe my question is not specific enough, but I am almost obsessed with inking comics, partly because I haven't found the right way to do it.Ī while ago my wife has asked me to do a drawing of Korra (of Legend of Korra) doing physics bending for a Christmas card that she's going to give it to the students (she teaches science). I am a hobbyist and I like comics - to read them, and eventually to write them but it didn't happen yet.
