First post here.
So, I've returned to using gray tones via ink washes. I took a break for awhile to work on inking without grays to try and improve my skills. It did do some good. Granted I could ink for years and years without gray tones before I compare to the artists I love, but I'm bored now and want to dip my tow back into grays. The next four pages are grayed (ink washed) for sure and likely more will be after that.
I do believe I have a bit of an improved approach. Previously I asked and grayed at the same time (roughly) and so I would not ink things because I knew they'd be grayed a particular way. My current mode is actually to ink it like it won't be getting any gray in the future and then when I get to the grays see how I can help it there.
I did the grays all at once for these five pages and I feel a general improvement of control and judgment during that session. So page 46-47 are better grayed than this one is (at least to me).
Regardless this webcomic has been an excellent art school even if it is self taught and slow.
See ya next time.
