    Very helpful, thanks for sharing! I've been stuck on how to get the sketch onto heavier stock for inking. This process looks like just the trick.

    Do you have a tutorial about re scanning your inks and isolating them digitally for coloring?

    Do u do the pencils digitally or do you scan it in to clip studio? Awesome video.

    This is will save me time and stress! Thank you! Btw can you use water color paper and does your printer scan drawings? Also where do you get Clip studio paint?

    Yes! As long as that watercolor paper is thin enough to go through your printer. And Clip Studio can be downloaded as an app, or here’s a link to their website for your computer: www.clipstudio.net/en/?gclid=CjwKCAiA2rOeBhAsEiwA2Pl7Qw6B0sDQ2kIokz-91Ttf-rSIrmUFuL5iVdS1Kp4qhMNw3SWvnI0TXRoChmIQAvD_BwE

    I thought the whole point of blue lines was that they don't scan, i.e. it wouldn't be necessary to get rid of them after re-scanning the inked art. Or maybe it is a holdover from pre-digital when....they photographed the inked art? I need to read up on this lol.

    What was the name of the printer? Does that specific printer only use the non water soluble ink or is that an option of ink you had to hunt down for it? This is a very cool process, great job

    Thanks! I'm so glad you liked the video. The printer I use is an Epson Stylus Photo 1400 and I believe it only takes the certain ink they made for the printer. The ink is pretty non water soluble and I've never had a problem with it while using this technique.
