    realizing you can work on each line instead of just doing one pass with the pen is such a mindblowing discovery for me

    @@randomalex5119 Some veteran pros still ink traditionally, because it gives more energy and you're not gonna spend time correcting without reason. It just gives more life to your drawing. The neatest trick is to print your digital penciling in a non-photo color alongside the layout on your paper, and then scan it back to color digitally. You do need access to a good laser-printer, and large-format scanner if you're drawing on 11x17" bristol boards. Otherwise you can use a non-photo blue lead to pencil out and it won't show when scanning in black and white.

    Might want to try the Kurotake No. 50 Brush pen. Refills with a Platinum Fountain pen converter (I use the Platinum Carbon Ink). Very nice if you are used to a regular brush and ink since it's Sable hair, and you can also get replacement heads if you wear down the brush. It can do a fine hair to broad strokes, but it does take good control. There are 2 less expensive versions of the same brush pen, one with a simpler body (the No. 30 I think?) And another with a Nylon brush head that's not refillable IIRC.
