Inking |
No, not inking like a squid. Inking is the process of refining a pencil-drawn sketch with usually black smooth solid lines that comprise the perimeter and other lines on the sketch / drawing.
Inking also involves the process of choosing the best line from the pencil lines that have been drawn over each other to comprise a particular line. When you choose the line you are going to use for inking, you eliminate the other lower quality lines that are not in the desired location on the sketch. You eliminate the other pencil marks by inking over the pencil with one smooth stroke of the marker, in the exemplars on this site. The black lines on the BILLY sketch above is an example of inking.
