Brush vs. Pen Nib: Doc Savage, Bison Bison & Old-School Comics Wisdom

Описание: Steve dives into a full inking demo this week, walking through a Doc Savage commission from rough pencils to finished brush and nib work. Along the way he answers viewer questions about inking tools, fixing stubborn pen nibs, brush sizes, half-tones, and how he uses tiny thumbnails to plan page design and storytelling flow.

We’ve also got live art critiques for Renee Nielsen and Arez Asin, with Steve breaking down composition, value, panel choices, and what makes storytelling clear on the page. There’s a fun mailbag segment touching on “exquisite corpse” drawings, Jack Kirby, classic conventions in the ’70s–’80s, and why studying past masters still matters today.
