Oni #PROTIPS: Inking with Style(-us)Friday, March 3, 11:15 AM–12:15 PM, TCC 302
Why is inking so hard? Is it because there are so many different tools to choose from? Should you be using a brush, a pen, or a stylus? Should you do inking with actual ink, or digitally, on a screen? A panel of professional inkers will share their insight: Mitch Gerads (Batman, The Sheriff of Babylon), Mildred Louis (Agents of the Realm), Ron Chan (Plants vs. Zombies), Trungles (Fresh Romance), Warren Wucinich (Invader ZIM), and Ben Dewey (The Autumnlands). Bring your best inking questions!
