Thanks!!
I use f pencil and I sometimes darken it in photoshop so its easier for people to see on a computer monitor, but thats about it. When I color stuff I tweak the levels in photoshop and duplicate the lineart layer, set it to multiply and tweak the opacity until its the desired darkness, then I color it. I haven't inked anything in years.
I worked freelance for about 10 years, went to the kubert school from 2008-2011, and have been drawing as much as I can since. I would attribute the Kubert school with my current level of work, drawing 16-18 hours a day for 3 years will make you improve.
Thanks again
