it all depends on what you want to do - the key to inking in painter (or PS for that matter - if **not** using the pen tool) is zooming in on your scan to 200-300% and taking a thing (normally hard brush) and just do it in short bits at a time 🙂 EDIT: this is something I inked in painter: ![](http://www.asphaltdesign.pwp.blueyonder.co.uk/crap/inked_asp_mich.jpg) ---

Thanks, I’m planning to colour it 🙂 (it’s part of my battle entry :)) photoshop is pretty much the same… another good (PS) tute using the brush tool as opposed to the pen tool :): [http://kawaiicarrot.trsqr.net/tutorial\_ink1.html](http://kawaiicarrot.trsqr.net/tutorial_ink1.html) ---

just trying to locate some sketches on a free hosting site 😕 i used ages ago. I lost my scanner which is a big problem it only works with windows 98 and i have XP now :/. I cant find any at the moment but when i get home from school i will try and do some. I usually now sketch my drawing and then trace it with the wacom not that neat but it’s the best i can do without a scanner :(. ---
