Also consider that black and white lineart is far more demanding in terms of skill than letting colorists do all the detail work.

I've seen plenty of comic art over the years - and the rapid decline of skill after Image started up, and seeing the slow buildup of actual real talent again... inking is necessary. Whether it's done traditionally or otherwise I can count on one hand the number of pencillers who can adequately make their line work so clean that it can be directly colored.

Comic art is its own style. It doesn't have to be anything other than what it is.

*points to thumb* Jim lee..... Ummmmm that's all I got

------------------------------------------------------------------------

Adam Hughes is an amazing artist. He does the pencil work the ink work and the color, the process behind he's coloring in particular blows my mind. and he's got a brilliant way of adding realism to he's work, so he shouldn't at all be used as an example of what isn't good in comics, while hes sequential art isn't as strong as hes covers etc, the covers are blow your mind good.

The man is amazing at what he does. but so is Jim lee, who is the epitome of the comic book art style and I don't think striving to be like him should be considered any less a goal then trying to take from real art and incorporate it into your work. the man is amazing.

Ink is a necessary step in my opinion. Adam Hughes inks as well he just color's over the lines and he's pretty much the opposite of the traditional comic book style, One thing i love about Hughes is that the pencils are important to the finished piece ( before coloring) often times he uses pencils and markers to shade before inking the black out parts. and he's lines always look as good as the finished color.

but anyway, I still prefer traditional ink and I think it is just as important as color or pencils

wow that's pretty cool!

All the individual pieces are here.

Ive tried both but definitely prefer the traditional method at this point, ithe digital method seemed to take me longer and it just doesn't have the same life to it. but people like Brian Denham do a great job with digital inks and even some of our own artist's ( who I'm sure will chime in ) love it and swear by it.

This for my friend. He's never had any art done of his characters, and is too shy to ask. He very rarely ventures out of Victory forum either.
