I used to use reg pencil lead but found during my scans, it would show up sometimes. (blue doesn&#8217;t scan in under b&#038;w settings). I try to rough out the shape and make sure they make sense proportionally. more often than not, I have to do multiple erases before I settle in on what I think looks accurate. next, still using blue pencils, I flush out the details. and it&#8217;s great to know I still have inking to do because if I get something wrong here, I don&#8217;t redraw it and instead leave it to the inking step to correct. and finally, using a Pentel brush comes the inking. I pay special attention to the amount of pressure I apply, to try and give the picture more personality with line variations. <\/p>\n<p>so, it&#8217;s a pretty quick process and I correct as I go with each step. I&#8217;d like to think with a more serious piece there would be more steps and I&#8217;d work a bit more on getting each step right before moving on. and of course, there&#8217;d be more background details. <\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.finncomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/20111223-143449.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.finncomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/20111223-143449.jpg?w=500\" alt=\"20111223-143449.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.finncomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/20111223-143504.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.finncomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/20111223-143504.jpg?w=500\" alt=\"20111223-143504.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.finncomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/20111223-143514.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.finncomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/20111223-143514.jpg?w=500\" alt=\"20111223-143514.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.finncomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/20111223-143529.jpg\"><img data-recalc-dims=\"1\" decoding=\"async\" src=\"https:\/\/i0.wp.com\/www.finncomics.com\/wp-content\/uploads\/2011\/12\/20111223-143529.jpg?w=500\" alt=\"20111223-143529.jpg\" class=\"alignnone size-full\" \/><\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>I start each of panel these days using a 0.5 blue pencil lead.
