It’s On: Inking Amelia

I’ve heard back from the “powers that be” and although I’ve got a list of revisions a few pages long, it’s for the most part relatively minor stuff… so, I’ve received the AOK to begin inking.  After months and months of penciling, it feels really good to break out the old brushes and nibs.  This first page allowed me to get reacquainted with a whole bunch of tools: brushes, pens, nibs, litho crayon, even doing white rain on black with a razor blade.  I probably won’t be posting pages of this until the book’s done–if even then–but here’s page one, unscanned (obviously) and without grays:
