I was trying to think of a witty title for this tutorial. Unfortunately I failed (miserably, I might add) so I guess you’re stuck with the above mentioned (and somewhat long-ish) title.

Anyways, welcome to what is going to be the first in a series of comic creation tutorials.

Nowadays, penciled comic book page do not necessarily need to be inked especially if the artist is a tight penciller. Advances in technology (printing and graphic software) has made this possible though a lot of publishers and creators still prefer the crisp and polished look of an inked page.

There are times however, when it is desirable to preserve the original pencils for one reason or the other, such as if you’re planning to sell it on e-bay or something.

This can be done in a number of ways…preserving the pencils, I mean. Not selling it on e-bay.

The inker can use a program to digitally ink the piece (Ex. Adobe Photoshop, Illustrator) or use tracing paper to enable him to ink over it, keeping the original untouched.
