Cartooning with Jason Seiler (3/5)
Author: Larry Seiler, Associate Editor
For a pen, he uses almost entirely the crow quill pen, and the text boxes or "balloons" are drawn in as well. "Professional cartoonists tend to do their own lettering by hand in the balloons...and type set looks sorta tacky...", Jason elaborates.
Next the pencil drawing is inked using an acrylic black India Ink ("FW" brand). Jason, prefers acrylic ink because it dries absolutely waterproof, (for his use of watercolors later), and the lines are crisp and clear.
Progress so far...
After the inking, erasing of all former gestured sketched lines with a kneaded art eraser cleans it up and nears a finishing stage.
But wait, there's more...
...and now we see the finished ink drawing!
