Finally!

I've finally managed to overcome my irrational fear of ink and finally bring CREW into the wonderful world of black and white. I was frustrated with ink for a long time - I saw it as the tedious task of tracing lines, and whenever I did it my pictures always looked flat. I've since learned that it really is a medium all its own, demanding as much attention and style as the original penciling. Line weights, layers, light/shadow, etc. I've been reading a great book by master inker Klaus Janson called The DC Comics Guide to Inking Comics. Very articulate and insightful.

My inking is definitely a work in progress - I'm not super happy with this, but it's a start, and I'm really looking forward to inking the rest of the comic. Stay tuned.
