Comic Page Inks – Deadpool vs Hitman Monkey
Here’s my latest full-page inking, Deadpool vs Hitman Monkey. It comes from Deadpool 20 page 22 by comic book artist Carlo Barberi. I’ve been inking pencils of professional comic artists to strengthen my inking skills. I found the original pencils on Barberi Deviant Art page. It’s a fun action shot with Deadpool getting shot up by Hit Monkey while Spider-Man watches. Looking at this inking and the past ones, I see where my strengths and my weaknesses are. You can see I need to work on my hatching and action lines. I’m ready to keep this in mind in my future inkings. Shazam!
This blog post was originally published on my other website Comic Book Graphic Design and has now been migrated here to RSC Arts, Ralph’s Art Blog.

When hatching, I like to get up real close and really see where my lines are going. Since it's inking, I'm not too worried about my form as I would be for my pencils. I'll flip the paper around, lean on the board, do whatever makes it more comfortable to get the lines I want on there, and perfect, the first time. Saves time, money, and paper.
Thanks. That's a great suggestion. I think the next time I approach an inking instead of taping down the paper I'll just hold it. Might help me get cleaner line. Thanks! – Shazam!
Really awesome comic page. Thanks for sharing,,,,, 🙂
