Pencil Plus Ink Test

Description

Got an idea from this journal by Sean Murphy [link] . He's wondering if the invention of scanners that can pick up pencils will obsolete inkers as part of the comics production cycle.

I have no idea about that, but it made me think about what I can do with the scanner sitting next to me and this pencil doodle I've had sitting on my desk for a few weeks.

So I scanned the doodle and took it into photoshop. The experiment was to see if I could get an interesting result from laying digital inks and color over pencils, while preserving the pencils to some extent. The hope is to keep some of the movement and texture that roughs generally have while tidying up the edges with clean 'ink' lines.

So, does it work? I think it could work for some stories, but obviously not for all of them. Nothing is universally applicable, after all! :)
