dude, I had absolutely never thought of doubling up my lines that way to make it look less stiff, this was such a great lesson!

I noticed while studying Jonathan Glapion(one of my favorite inkers) that he does this all the time and so I’ve been starting to implement it into my inks. I don’t do it everywhere but sometimes it adds an extra umph in places that need it. It almost makes the piece look more organic like a happy accident but you can be very methodical about it.

it makes perfect sense, but i never really thought about it cause you are kinda taught to be "clean" with lineart like its SUPPOSED to be free of those doubled lines, but if you look at the industry, HELL even Manga and Anime, there is alot of doubling up lines and i just never freaking noticed, ive been implementing it in the sketch i had started BEFORE watching it and the difference already is kinda nuts just from the inital inking I started compared to the more energetic version :o im kinda mad I never explored against the grain more than I have now.

It makes perfect sense that he would use this because both Jim Lee and Scott Williams do it as well, and he would’ve learned from them as an image artist

You can see the hundreds of hours of practice and effort in how easily and effortlessly he creates such a brilliant piece. I love it!

The sketch lines have always been my favorite but I always thought that others saw it as too messy. But clean lines like flat and lifeless. This is absolute gold advice.

I always like the messy chaotic lines of sketches or inked drawings. So much fun to look at as I can see a little bit of the process in making the drawing.

The speed and precision this man is going with is blowing me away.

A tip in clip studio, to erase with the brush you're using, instead of using white, you can press c on your keyboard, it will change the colour to transparent,wich is an amazing tool to erase on regular colored layer too.

instead of makin monochrome layer you can just switch to transparent and using any brush as eraser. Also you can mirror canvas without transform, it is in view bar, but also you can make it through hotkey. Save its ok, clip studio have autosave feature in preferences. I make autosafe every 10 min.

Oh, that. There's line strength. I wouldn't worry too much about it. That's a huge issue with people starting off at it. God... wish there were an easier way to just show it right off. Problem is, can't do it in text. That's a major hurdle. That's what Ryan's great at. So damn cool! It's a way to get things flowing. once you're practiced at it, it's just natural. I could show some things, but... Oh he's going into that now... PS has progressive saves as an option. I'd done digital for 20 years, then went back to traditional, for a bit, and it's a different discipline. Both have their benefits, but when you're working without a net, no Undo, you do it right, or do it over. Which is great for production level discipline. As explained in the video, use the Undo feature as a tool, not as a crutch. So much great instructional, production level prowess here. Now... inking? There are some methods. Mike Mignola's more, confident brush strokes. "I know this goes here." More technical detail, eschew the brush and go with technical pens. Photoshop, pencil replication, take a square brush, amp up the jitter, the fall-off, the pressure sensitivity, so that it works with your mindset, what *feels* right. Big part of this is building your signature style. Imitating another's is one thing. I guess, if you're using Photoshop, customize your brushes to suite you. Don't be skittish about noodling around with them, it's not like you're hurting anyone's pixels.

This video set a "before" and "after" in my works. Thank you, Ryan ♥

Totally different approach to what I am used to. This is a brilliant tutorial that really helped me understand the difference between what simply works in the moment and what really looks good and professional.

Absolutely amazing, you're a legend and thank you so much for this!!

Love so much his art. Amazing work, buddies!!!

Bonus tip: in clip studio paint if you are working on a vector layer, you have full control over all of your layers afterwardy you made them. You can move them around by clicking on the control points, simplify them, changing the line thickness of them not only in the ends but anywhere you have those control points, connecting the lines etc. etc. Awesome and hyper useful video btw., no complaints, I just needed to mention that vector layers do save hours of worktime too when I'm working as a freelancer illustrator.

omg that transfer layer tip is great. That whole video was very informative as whole thank you !

Amazing guy! Now he understands line work! Lots of things I felt were this way and he confirmed it. Thanks a ton!

Wonderful guy, alot of Tips. I also love Clip Studio for Line work, I only came back to photoshop because I like the brush engine better and wanted to learn color but Ink is my heart

Thank you, Stan (Proko). And Ryan,...you do great work! Very inspiring!

Amazing tutorial! Thank you for sharing your tremendous skills!

Ryan U are amazing, Tks so much for the tips and tricks !!

Thank You Ryan indeed I think this will definitely help my inking/lineart get a lil more life. I LOVE my pencil art but when I get to the lineart I end up hating it lol. Now I have a better idea of why. Thank you great one!!

I like this guy. This is the second video I'm watching him work, and hear him talk. He's very 'Bob Ross' to me. You know what I mean?

I like what you said about the unlimited undos in digital art. It's annoying when I'm doing pencil art and realize I need an eye or something moved over so I have to redraw it instead of CSP where I just lasso that bitch into the right spot.

On the one hand, don't use it as a cheat. You can use unlimited layers (or what someone thinks, if you're on a 4kx4k texture sheet, every layer, is another 4k sheet, so... PSD files get up to 4 gigs. Some other resources, Ryan Church, flatten layers if you don't need them. Just one brush stroke is another full image, no matter how many pixels. Flipping the image, so you can see it from another angle (it's a little to easy to become myopic, "This is the idea!" Then, you've done all this work on it, then flip it, and, 'Zut alors! I have meesed one!" So, hotkeys for flipping, mirroring. It's kindof standard practice? Maybe not? It''s encouraged, in any case. Doesn't hurt. Flopping another layer on to test things out, is not something I'd discourage, at all. Just... don't leave 'em there. Gets messy. There are a lot of great free brushes out there. Sorry, typing as I'm watching this, because there's a lot to take in. Love this guy more and more!

this is very helpful, good instructions.

@Philosophy.and.Tostitos

I felt exactly the same way some time ago! I'm no world-class expert, but in my experience, the more you ink, the faster you'll be able to do it. At first your inks might look a bit uncertain and wobbly, forcing you to constantly undo or tweak lines. But the more you do it, the more you develop the muscle memory to draw clean, strong, confident lines! So it gets easier and faster as you ink more stuff. :)

We have different art styles (also he's better than I am) but it's fascinating watching someone else's methods, especially when they use the same tools I do. I'll have to look for that Battlefield Dust one and I picked up a few other tips as well.

This is great. My natural style flows towards this but I didn't realize it was a marketable style

Well Done!

Thank you so much!

Recently got the mameo inking brush, it's like inking with fine liners or multi liners giving a Jim Lee or Marc Silvestri feel.

That Mameo Pen is awesome

Love you too man

Love it :D

this man even implements his kids into his drawing process

Awesome 💯

Absolutely beautiful 🥰🥰🥰

This dude is a beast!

This is what i want to do

Im just curious, the way Ryan demonstrated creating the alpha layer effect with the white ink, can that be something you can do in photoshop by just making the layer a multiply layer, and using X to switch between white and black. That way, because its a multiply layer, the white wont show up when you draw in it?

i like your art style

6:35 tip of the year!

I want that ink brush.

I love the cowl

I`m listen to this, while working on my comic. Ryan talks about loosing art. Me start to save my work on hard drive ....XD.

Can create your own brush with similar settings to Mameo inking brush by moving up minimum value of pen pressure, play with pen pressure, and move down brush thickness.

This video is all ive ever needed wtf

if there's an insight into resolution and file preparation for coloring, it would be very interesting to know the pipeline for established publishers.

Great tutorial, even for someone who is not even planning a career in the comic book industry.

"I don't have time to name layers, I just go" is such a mood lol.

some nice clip tips here. Making the move over from photoshop myself.

Can we talk about how easy he made drawing this fucking amazing picture of batman look?

there is a smal hear shape on the batman forehead so cute

Great tutorial but at 1:55 in clip studio you can just switch your color to the transparent option and you get the same effect without needing to turn off the white.

Ryan already covers this on his channel. :)

I always used to draw in layers never stiff, and I always thought i must be doing it wrong (bcoz I never learnt drawing) now i know i was right all along

That steel wool brush is INCREDIBLE! What's it called??

A Clip Studio trick: an easier way to make your brush "erase" is simply hit the "C" key (You'll have to hit it again to draw/ink)

This drawing is amazing. Your style is incredibly charming, and I absolutely love it. I want to make you my role model. How many years have you been drawing?
