I tend to do the contour lines and establish my line weights using my drawing's light source (thinner lines facing the light, thicker lines facing away). You can also opt for a dead lineweight here, add your blacks, and then go to final line weights afterwards.

You should buy this, just for the art. It's a nice book.

Yeah, I have the first edition.

Thanks guys. (FYI, I have no clue how to spot blacks.)

I think I bought that for my brother years ago, back when he used to ink my stuff.

Just use logic. Think of where the light is coming from -- the areas furthest away from the light are going to be the darkest.




You can also use some creative license and use blacks to frame your image in a way that makes the important elements "pop".

Thanks Hanzo.

Getting closer to the finish line...

Final version.

That's awesome.

Thanks Jeff.

Great job, Trev!

Thanks Marcus. I'm fighting the temptation to redo it because I see so much I could do better now. I learned a lot from this one.

Just goofin' around...

I'm digging your warrior and dragon piece. Cool seeing your take on Supes too, Trev. Your work is original and it's good to see you sharing stuff. Keep it coming

Thanks Joe!

Nice drawings Trevor. I like them also.

LOL double post. Thanks Brandon.

Broke out the Wacom tablet, gettin' my Victorian on.
