Inking with a Brush

I feel like I'm supposed to be using a brush to ink. The idea doesn't thrill me because I love the way I can bear down on a pen.

Lately, though, I've been using a Prismacolor Premier with brush tip for some of my inking. I still use the pens, but I incorporate the brush pen and the results are nice!

The Prismacolor is nice because the brush tip is very short, bridging the gap between a pen and a real brush.

You've gotta try a brush (at least a brush tip). Something about the brush adds an element of happy accident to the process. There is an unpredictability of line that adds a lot of value to the work.

Happy inking.
