This is gorgeous! Thanks so much for taking time to make this, you're right, there isn't enough advice for using traditional materials for inking. I'll be using this for a while to help me get into inking with a brush instead of with pens. It looks so fluid and natural :)

You are very welcome!

I'm just so glad that this tutorial has been able to help out so many people who have been curious to try brush inking, but didn't know where to start. And yeah, there really isn't! I've nosed around several times on Youtube, and yeah, people sorta go explain a tiny bit about brush inking, but they never really go into it. It gets treated as if it's a secret that they don't want others to know how to use. And it really isn't! The method of inking with a brush should be shared with anyone who really wants to learn.

Yes, indeed! I just started playing around with brush pens recently for the first time, and was amazed at how liberating it felt to work with a tool that sort of does it's own thing, if that makes sense. You have much less control over it than with a pen, but because of that, you can really give flow to the piece... I don't know, or maybe I'm just not that good yet! I'll keep at it either way :D
