A couple of months ago I attempted to ink an illustration of Bane by Greg Capullo. I choose to ink this drawing as a practice exercise to get better with my inking tools and because the illustration is done in a style I would never draw in. My in my first attempt posted here I inked Capullo’s pencils 100% with a brush and I took liberties to change just about what ever I wanted to or felt like changing. After showing it to my art teacher and mentor Joe Rubinstein he challenged me to re-ink it this time using a nib and trying to make it as faithful to the original pencils as possible. So here it is this is the best of my abilities at this point in time.

I have been posting my progress on this Al Feldstein, Weird Fantasy inspired Spaceman piece I started two days ago for Your Web Designer. You can see my rough sketch here, and my tighten up pencil drawing here. Today I completed the piece. I inked him traditionally with a Raphael Kolinsky Sable – Fine Point Round – Size 3 brush and a Hunts 108 Nib the coloring was done digitally on the computer. I choose to use the Raphael brush as I just wasn’t getting the sharp line I wanted out of my normal Winsor & Newton Series 7 #3 brush.

I recently finished inking this Bane Penciled by Greg Capullo. I usually spend 25-30 minutes everyday inking over some else’s work I respect and admire. I do this as an exerices to improve my own skills in Drawing and in using my brush. This piece was 100% inked with a #3 Windsor Newton Series Seven Brush. Check out Greg’s original pencils below.
If you are unfamilar with Capullo’s work I strongly recommend checking out;Batman: The Court of Owls this is a fantastic Batman Story with amazing visuals. I prefer the unwrapped edition because you can study Greg’s raw pencils. Aside from his acclaimed work on Batman He’s also known for having drawn the longest runs on Spawn which I believe spans over 70+ issues.
It’s also well worth listening to these fantastic Fatman on Batman interviews with Greg;
