Hey friends. While in Kansas City recently I filmed an instructional video on inking techniques. Using one reference photo I created three images - one in nib, one in brush, and one with wash. I discuss the particulars of each tool and process as well as the thought process that goes into my inks.
Here's the link for the video: conceptart.org/forums/showthre…
The summary from the description:
Illustrator Francis Vallejo takes the viewer on a journey into inks and their exciting possibilities!
You will be able to watch Francis use one reference photo and interpret it 3 times, each time
using a different inking technique: nib, brush, and wash. He discusses the positives and negatives of each
tool and ultimately the benefit of using all three for a successful inked image. Along the way Francis shares
his thoughts on how to properly use reference images, being confident in your drawings, and a bit of
commentary on his favorite inkers and how to use your influences to better your work and make it as unique
as possible. Finally, Vallejo takes the last drawing and brings it into Photoshop to demonstrate a
quick and efficient way to bring your inks into color.
Enjoy!

BIO: I was raised on the Eastside of Detroit, Michigan - a peculiar but influential city in my development. I moved to Sarasota, Florida to study at the Ringling College of Art + Design. I began studying computer animation, but found myself in illustration. Additional instruction was had while attending two sessions of the exceptional Illustration Academy.
I am currently based in Austin, TX. My studio is also home to one of The Art Department's physical locations. Along with my own projects, I assist in the operation of this studio/classroom. I listen to a lot of hip-hop and wear my hat at a slight angle.
TAKE CARE,
