Here is a very interesting and useful piece from the Fleischer Studio. I think I got this from Shane Gline's Cartoon Retro site . Other than the references to "powdering your cells" (change that to "clean your tablet") this remains a very good guide to dynamic inking, especially as it applies to "inking" on the Intous or Cintiq tablet. The best Fleischer cartoons always had outstanding inking , with lots of thick and thin line work for emphasis and texture . When I see that work and the great inking in the Disney features I'm just in awe of the artists who were able to produce that level of quality. (If you've ever tried inking on a cel with brush or quill pen you know what I mean) The new Popeye DVD is coming out soon. I can hardly wait !
