Description

Pencils: Terry and Rachel Dodson
Inks: :iconnewerastudios: Izaak Wilson

I found this on the internet a long time ago and kept it in my folders for a while. I start inking it in Photoshop but put it aside because I got caught up in the traditional method. Well in the last couple of days I decided to do something different with this piece. In the past I would use the pen tool to do all my lines for the digital inking and it would be super slow and really frustrating for me to work on since my speed with traditional inking was 1/4 the time. I have talked with other digital inkers about the process they use and what programs they use. They told me they use other programs because Photoshop was too slow for them. I then thought to myself surely there is a faster method in Photoshop if I just put my mind to it. So I forced myself to use my graphic tablet like I would use the pen and paper instead of the pen tool. I was surprised by the results and found the more I worked with it the smoother things got for me. I know this is not as clean as my other work but it is a step in the right direction in freeing me up to go faster in Photoshop in digital inking instead of staying with the clumsy method I had done in the past.

Edit: :iconpureluck13: Pureluck 13 pointed out to me that it was two people who did the pencil work for this piece. I thought it was 3 people because of how the signature was put on this piece. So I changed it from Terry Dodson and Rachel to Terry and Rachel Dodson since they are married to each other.
