"Hi this is Cable for Expert Village. With all our frames penciled out, we can now clean up the lines of our walk cycle even more and make the lines more visible by inking the frames with a fine point pen. You can draw over the existing pencil lines and just erase any pencil lines that show up or just add a new sheet. For this example, let's go ahead and make it as clean as possible and add a new sheet. For this example, I am using a point seven pigment liner. Just carefully trace over the lines that you have so that the other lines won't have that sketchy look, which is fine, but it's nice to have an option for a cleaner appearance. Smooth even movements are best. That one's done. You can go ahead and trace the rest of your frames in a similar way. Our first frame is done. Take that off. Put our second frame in. Add a new sheet of paper. Ink over these lines just as well. Only thirteen more to go."
