Okay so I've been working on my partner Zach's 2nd page for his comic, and my job is to ink it out. Learned a few little lessons along the way. ( Zach's Blog Here )
Inking out someone else's artwork is different from your own. What I mean is that Zach has a MUCH different style than I normally work in. A few examples:
1) I'm used to working a much harder paper which calls for freedom of strong strokes to make effects, while Zach normally works on softer thinner paper which I have to be lighter with my strokes or I tear the sheet (which for this one time is an original) and Zach turns me into a zombie with his mastery of physics and is able to take his rage out on me like blowing my head off with a pistol, and then puts it back on and enslaves me to do his bidding for all eternity.
2) I'm used to working on bigger paper like 11 x 17 size here and Zach works on much smaller paper, which means I have to be even lighter with my strokes or I ink over spots I'm not supposed too and the previous mentioned punishment will ensue except this time he also cuts off my balls and keeps them in a jar to mock me with.
3) I'm used to drawing on a larger scale and Zach draws on a MICROSCOPIC SCALE!!! WE'RE TALKIN ABOUT 30 FULLY DETAILED PANELS ON AN 11 X 8 SHEET OF PAPER! PHYSICS DO NOT APPLY TO HIS ARTWORK! PHYSICS ABANDONED HIS ARTWORK, I MEAN LITERALLY THREW UP IT'S MIGHTY HANDS AND SAID "FUCK THIS DUDE!!"
So lessons have been learned, the inking is coming on good too, and I know that some people you ink for are mystical beings capable of breaking the physical realm's spirit and sending it crying home to momma.
