Jack B. Quick: "I, Robert" page 12
The pencil scan for this page is nowhere to be found but here's a fairly tight layout, followed by the inks. I like Officer Pete's grotesquely swollen bee-stung face.

Hey Kevin, how ya doing?
ReplyDeletePanel one is really cool, its like we could see lil Jack running for real, really nice.
If you don't mind telling me a secret of yours...What is your basic material when working?
Well, keep yarself away from giant bees hehe

I'm doing well. Thanks for asking.
ReplyDeleteMy basic material is just that: basic. Pencil on typing paper for layouts, India ink in a quill pen for finishes. Nothing fancy.
Oh, and I use a ruling pen for inking panel borders. I finally gave up on Rapidographs a few years ago. They're too flimsy. Ruling pens are practically indestructible and they can be adjusted to give you a different line width. The one I'm using is at least thirty years old and still works like a charm.
ReplyDeleteThank you, for aswering.
ReplyDeleteCool, being a complete comic book artist lets you do that i guess hehe, i'm still on the pencil stage, but i fool around sometimes with ink wash tho'.
I'll buy those pens to try it out sometime...Any nice tip for a rookie inker?

Yes, don't ink with a Sharpie or any of the other non-lightfast markers unless you want to see your work morph into something ugly a few years down the road. Stick to India ink, applied with a good sable brush or a dip pen.
ReplyDeleteBoy, I've said this a number of times, I miss Jack. They need to just collect all the Jack B. Quick stories in one nice hard cover.
