Yesterday Jim Lee posted a pencilled page and a link to where aspiring artists could download and print out that page in blueline (complete with instructions) and try their hand at inking it, promising to "pick some of them and hopefully give them a verbal or written mini-critique." I thought it might be a nice idea to see what pro inkers who aren't named Scott Williams could do over Jim's pencils as well, so I asked if I could publicize the page on the Yahoo inkwell list. I'm glad Jim said yes, because as it turns out Robin had had the same idea and had already mentioned it! So Jim added,
Also, it seems a number of pro inkers are going to take on the challenge and strut their stuff. Obviously as their real work takes priority, I will be posting these images when they get done as future posts. Hopefully they can add some commentary which I can forward for them to get some insight into what it is that they do and how they do it so well.Yes, Robin will be one of those inkers. :) While Jim's pencils are tight there's also a lot of room for interpretation, so this should be a good learning opportunity for everyone out there who either doesn't know what an inker does or persists in believing inkers just trace...
