As a well-spent day brings happy sleep, so a life well spent brings happy death.

This piece brings the oppurtunity perfectly.
1. Upon inking a piece that is going to be B&W how do you decide the balance between the two to create contrast, is it literally just see how it goes....?
2. when you ink, assuming you use water-based materials, do you colour the piece before removing the pencil makrs and then add the details and outline in black before finally removing that damned graphite from your paper or do you not bother rubbing out the pencil as the colouring and detailing has covered it...?
Oh, btw - absolutely loving this, once again you've earned a fave - but i'm still waiting on that print of the last one dammit!!!

So on to your questions.
1. Hmm.. good question. Well I have noticed that often times I approach each picture differently. Sometimes I know what I want to do.. and sometimes I just go with the flow and hope it turns out okay. Often times once I have sketched the piece I start to decide what will look good as black.. what should be white. I think it depends on the subjects in the picture and how much you want them to stand out or blend into the background. What I often do is choose or create something in the picture that I know I want black and then I work from there, because once you start you sort of know where to go from there. In the first few minutes of inking you usually mentally decide how things will look best.. so just go with that feeling. Once you have one piece inked you sort of see how everything else should be.. and how it will best suit the picture.. Often times it's just a lot of trial and error and hoping for the best.. it's usually good to go with your instincts.
2. Well.. when I ink I usually just use cheap gel pens or sharpie markers like i did on this picture. When I start 1. I draw the picture in pencil(including all the details) 2. I outline the entire picture including the details 3. I remove the pencil lines(always try to make sure you dont draw too dark with the pencil) 4. I then actually re-ink the picture to make it stand out more 4. I ink in all the black parts 5. I add all the detail and if I wish to add more details I repeat the process.
There have been times when I get distracted or am too eager to finish the piece that I forget the pencil lines and it always irks me because I can always still see the pencil lines if I look in the right light. So I suggest erasing them once you do the lineart.
Thank you for the questions..
