In this course you will learn how to create clean line work for your illustrations. I will be explaining these lessons while using Clip Studio Paint. Many of these techniques will apply to various art programs and even traditional art. This course is designed to teach you the step by step process that I use to ink my comic style artwork every day.


Section 1 - Starting with the Head

You will learn how to ink 3 Different face types. I will supply you with the pencil sketch to work along with me. By inking 3 different characters you will understand why the lines are used different within these concepts. This is important so that you realize that there are many subtle differences when inking various characters and their faces. It ultimately allows you to tell better stories with your comic artwork.


Section 2 - Practice Activities

In this section you will learn some practice activities to enhance your skills. These can be a great way to warm up before inking a complex scene. Practice these often and feel free to share your studies in the Q+A Section of this course.


Section 3 - Inking a Comic Panel

In this section you will ink an entire scene with me from start to finish. This is a futuristic scene using a 1-Point Perspective. You will learn how to spot in shadows, where to implement various line weights, how to cross hatch, how to adjust perspective, and how to clean up the work by using powerful editing features in Clip Studio Paint.


By the end of this course you will have a better understanding on how to create beautiful line work for your illustrations quickly and effectively. Digital art programs will not make you a better artist but used properly can make you much more efficient!

Robert Marzullo

Comic Book Artist / Illustrator

I have been a working professional artist for most of my life. I have been published in comics, created 3D animation and characters for television, illustrated storyboards for commercials, and owned and operated my own design firm successfully for over 15 years.

I am also the author of the book "Learn to Draw Action Heroes" by Impact Publishing.

I am currently a professional freelance illustrator and comic artist where I create digital art for my clients. I create sequential art and character concepts.

I now share my knowledge in digital art and computer software through online platforms such as Udemy and have a growing Youtube channel as well. With over 100,000 Youtube subscribers and quickly growing I felt I should create some more in depth content for students wanting to take their skills to the next level.

My goal is to help aspiring artists realize their potential and break their mental barriers that hold them back from creating the artwork of their dreams. We can all do it with the right instruction and work ethic. That is what I am here to teach my students.

I am very dedicated to my students and responsive to any of your questions so please don't hesitate to ask. I am here to help!
