The cover of Alter Ego #19. Batman and Robin in the Batcave by Dick Sprang.

There is a little technical trick I tell pencilers who screw up on
rendering in ink, even though through practice they've gained some
facility in handling a brush or pen. The trick is the simplest thing in
the world. You pencil a curved line. Then you have to ink it. Well,
it's easy to draw that line with a pencil; you know where you're
going from start to finish, and if you foul up, you can erase and
correct. With the curved line perfectly penciled, take up a #2 brush,
wet it and stroke it to a fine point on your scrap paper, then try to
exactly ink the pencil line. If you attempt to ink along the line while
watching your brush point, it will wobble. You'll be noodling it and
have to white out the jiggles.
An old newspaper artist taught me how to ink that curved line
cleanly. You put your brush tip on the beginning of the penciled line
(I find it best to stroke from left to right) and focus your eye on the
line about an inch abead of the brush. Never look at the tip of the
brush. Now move your brush toward the point of your eye focus,
and at the same time keep moving your focus along the line a
steady inch ahead of your following brush. Your eye will inform
your hand that the curve is there and the brush will reproduce the
line exactly, but it won't if you look directly at your moving brush
tip. When you look ahead on the penciled line, that line between
your eye and the brush is already a memory, and through the magic
of visual memory/motor coordination, you'll ink a beautiful line.
It's the easiest thing in the world.

An invaluable piece of inking advice from Dick Sprang, from Alter Ego #19. It's a terrific interview, well worth checking out. A digital edition is available here: twomorrows.com/index.php?ma...
