Cover Image - Step Three by @Samantha_Lynn (Samantha Lynn)

Step Three: Inkling! Unlike most comic book artists I've even read about, I don't ink my pictures by hand anymore. I used to, when I first started out (but none of those pics are here on Side 7). Now I use Adobe Illustrator for all my inking needs!! The Pen Tool is a little hard to get the hang of, but once you do, it makes things go a lot faster.

Anyway, even with the fast inking tools, this took me about three days to complete. And now this part's done! Whee! Now the next two steps are about the easiest and hardest of them all: Coloring and Shading! Stay Tuned!
