How to Draw Ghost Rider: Inking

Video Transcript

"Inking is where you're basically going to be applying dark shadowy regions to our area. And it's going to be used to portray depth and shadow essentially where the light is not reaching. So this very first phase, I like to use a thicker pen because a lot of the areas that we are inking are going to be larger areas and it's kind of essentially almost like mapping them out and then filling them in. I've seen inking done with felt pens like this also as more traditional ink pens and really an entire gamut of them. But what I'm doing to this one arm, we are going to replicate on the whole of our Ghost Rider. This guy's a dark individual and he stays back in the shadows. What's more, we have all this flame that's going to be jumping up all over the place, which means that's going to be casting a lot of shadow, like underneath the rim of his jacket over here which is going to be mostly shadowed because he's not seeing it. It's also like underneath his spiked area in here, it's going to be very heavily shadowed in different areas. So you get the basic gist of how to complete this first area of inking. And we're going to expand the technique I've demonstrated here over the whole of the Ghost Rider."
