Sooooo, my very first foray into digital inking (or any inking for that matter). This is fun! And very very timeconsuming, at least at first. Of course I chose a picture where the character has curls for my first try. There's no such thing as baby-steps *rolls eyes*

It is very obviously not finished, but I was wondering if anyone has got any tips on digital inking? I don't know if I'm doing it correctly at all. I'm using the Pen tool --> Paths (anchor anchor anchor - repeat a gazillion times) --> fill path --> delete path. Repeat cycle.

I'm using Photoshop btw.

Her hair became sooooo much fun after I figured out how to do it :D

Thanks for the instructions on how to ink in PS!!  :D  Yeah, sounds very time consuming. But the result looks great so far!

Wooo! The picture is gorgeous! She is sexy and I absolutely love the way you drew the legs and feet! Great perspective work!
Will you color this, too?

Thank you ^_^
Hmm, I don't know. I'm having fun trying to ink it right now and I might become bored with the picture before I can get to coloring it. But I might!
