Free inking!

That's right!

If you want to have me ink any of your work, all you need to do is send me a 300dpi min image of your pencils (please make sure they're tight if you don't want me taking artistic creativity with your work lol). 

I'm willing to do sequential art as well, under the stipulation I can use the inks for my inking portfolio. 

Upon completion you will receive your choice of file: high resolution bitmap (1200 dpi) or high resolution tiff (please specify desired resolution and if you want grayscale or threshold black and white).

You get inks, and I get practice! Win-win, right?!

EDIT: I just thought I'd also do a little update of my first journal entry that talk about what supplies I use, as they've changed a little.

To get this out there, the total list of supplies I use for my work are as follows:

Paper - (I use a lot of different paper depending on what I can get my hands on) Strathmore 500 plate, Eon HD Plate, I-C B4 Manga paper, Strathmore 400 3-ply (and 4-ply!) Plate. There's other paper I use as backups, or for less important work: Canson Artist Series Bristol smooth, Deleter B4 Manga paper*, and Strathmore 300/Canson Foundation bristol. 

Fine-point Pens: Sakura Microns & Staedtler Pigment Liners

Traditional Pens: These are what I use for 99% of my inking - Zebra & Tachikawa G pen (depending on mood), with various holders. Tachikawa & Nikko maru pens (with the occasional Deleter nib). 

Brushes: Raphael 8404 sizes 2 & 4 (I do have some Winsor & Newton Series 7 brushes, but I like the Raphael better)

Ink: Pilot Drafting Ink, Kooh-I-Noor Ultradraw, Dr. Ph Martin's Black Star Matte, and Eon Vortex. I have 16 different inks on hand that I cycle through depending on what the piece I'm working on is and what tools I'll be using are, but these are the main ones I use. 

Pencils: Staedtler 2mm lead holder w HB lead & Non-Photo blue lead. Staedtler 0.7mm & 0.5mm mechanical pencils (with 2B & 2H lead, respectively). Rotring 500 w Pilot Neox Non-photo Blue lead. Prismacolor Col-Erase NonPhoto Blue. (For full pencil drawings I use Staedler & Koh-I-Noor pencils of various densities 4h-9b). I've slowly been moving away from the mechanical pencils and using the lead holder more and more. Now-a-days I only use mechanical pencils on extreme details or backgrounds. 

Erasers: Kokuyo Campus B/HB, Pentel Ain, & Prisma Color Kneeded eraser

Digital work: Photoshop CS6 (I really prefer older versions of photoshop, namely 6. But I no longer have my copies). Currently no tablet. 90% of my art is done traditionally. Only screentoning is done digitally.

OS: Windows 10


* Footnote about Deleter paper: The quality has seriously declined, to my dismay. Deleter manga paper is the easiest to get a hold of, sadly. However, the surface is NOT durable at all anymore. The surface easily tears when inking, even with a G nib, which leads to bleeding. I couldn't imagine successfully using screen tones on this paper either. I have since switched to I-C manuscript paper, which is pretty damn amazing. All of the pros are using I-C paper and tones, these days, and for good reason.
