Thinking how DCS gets his comic's lines so smooth I still had no idea how it was done... until last week. Ink and brush, ink and brush. I think I'll try this soon but I have other projects to work on like this:
Yep, ink, brush, AND pen. However this raises some questions... DCS said he can't make gray shades with ink unless he used a computer... I obviously did it without a computer, soooo......... This probably means he doesn't feel like spending a few extra minutes making the grays... even though they are very easy to make and apply.

Very cool Donnie! I especially like the branches and leaves at the top. They look quite nice.
I haven't done any ink and brush work for a LONG time. I miss it now, having looked at this.

Thats not a school yard. I was just standing in a park square looking for buildings to draw and saw this building back there so I drew and then inked.
Well, thank you everyone!

Think those more or less tend to look like all realistic backdrops.

This is what getting involved with my homework has done... I wasn't the first to say "snazzy".
That being said, that's some really spiffy artwork you've got there Donnie.

Too bad it won't even compare to what the other students have.

Even so, if I can't do as good as the others, no A, and I'll be sent to a NORMAL school!!! Armstrong does NOT have what I want, I don't care if it IS thousands of dollars cheaper, I have no future there!

My school didn't either, because it's a school. Schools are there for the basics, and home is where you perfect them IMO.

So I just have to ask, how exactly are you making those grays, then?

I'm going into game design, Armstrong does not have it and does not go into it deeply. I'm very sure the best I can get out of them is programming and thats not what I plan on doing. If thats all they teach about it, then what was the point in getting all this software!? If a school does not have it at all, HOW CAN I PERFECT IT!?
So I just have to ask, how exactly are you making those grays, then?
I get a round paint brush and dip it in water, dip the very tip in a tiny bit of ink, dip it in water again, apply on scratch sheet to get the value I want and then I apply more water if too dark, then I ink on the gray values.
