5.0 out of 5 stars It's not tracing!, 10 Mar 2004

By	Tex (Hyde nr. Manchester, UK) - See all my reviews

Simply put, this is the best book on inking I've read. Don't waste your money on other books, buy Jansen's and Miller's and learn everything you need to know.

The book doesn't stop with instruction on techniques, tools, and materials, but gives you some great tips such as why you should keep your ink bottle in an ashtray!

Anyone who has ever laboured under the misapprehension that comic book inking is just 'going over a proper artists drawing with a pen' is finally shown the error of their ways as Jansen and Miller demonstrate what a fine art inking is when practiced correctly. Moreover, this is a DC guide to inking, not a guide to inking DC characters. Once you've read this and got some practice in, you'll be able to ink everything from cartoons to the most cutting-edge comic book characters.

Great text, great illustrations, what's stopping you?

1.0 out of 5 stars Didnt teach me much, 22 Sep 2006

By	Mr. Christopher P. Moore "Shopping to learn" (Bristol, UK) - See all my reviews (REAL NAME)

This book has all the tips for what materials to use, and the importance of inking. But it reads rather more like an argument for why inkers should get more respect. The pictures that accompanied it were all ancient panels from comics of the fifties and things.
I (and most likely everyone else who selected this) bought this book to learn about inking superhero comic books, and therefore I wanted to learn how to give the impression of depth and realism to muscletone and facial features. I didnt want to learn the thirty ways of making grass standout from brick or study the scratchy pen work of a black and white western. This book I'm afraid, didnt make any considerations for the fact that after inking will come colour. Klaus made mention of one panel where a turban looked like the rocks in the background behind it, and therefore it was not well inked, though he understood that colour after would make it standout and separate it from the rocks. But that was it - not for the rest of the 130 pages of rambling about the inker working to enhance and give clarity to the penciller, did Klaus even touch on how much detail should be given to musculature, or how to give the impression of creases compared to folds in clothing. I learnt more about figure inking in the ten page section in "Drawing Dynamic Comics" by Andy Smith than I did here. I'm just about to move onto the DC guide to Colouring (bought both to bring the total up to free delivery with the hopes of the inking book teaching me how to make my pencils look less flat for scanning to colour, and less like they're part of the background without having to spend �250 on a graphics tablet to ink after I've scanned the pencils in) and it had better not be 100 pages of how to colour with a brush - I dont know an aspiring artist out there who doesnt want to learn how to colour with a computer. You can erase a colour mistake then, but you screw up with a brush, and you're gonna have a page covered in white out.
