People keep asking me what I use to do my outlines. That's actually very simple: I use ink and mulitliner (black and sepia). For all those who do not know how to use ink here are some explanations:
I think the pens I use for inking are the ordinary ones: Maru-Pen (for very delicate lines - the right one) and G-Pen (the bigger one) for thicker lines and blacking. I really love using ink, although you have to be very careful. You always have to ink from left to right so that you do not smudge the wet lines. But if you use the right ink it dries really fast. Some people use very expensive ink, but to be honest sometimes the best ink is not the most expensive one. I use Pelikan ink number 17. The best about this ink is: it's waterproof! That's very important especially for me because I do my colouring with copics.
The picture you see to the left is an extract from a short manga I did. I used ink here, as ink is very vivid and really good for animated
things. I think I prefer ink to multiliners, although those come in handy when you have to draw straight lines like in the right drawing which is another sneak peek from a project I am currently workig on. *_* What do you prefer? Or do you use something completely different? I also sometimes like simple pencils.
Auf Grund der Nachfrage werde ich im November eine zweite Auflage meines Kalenders für 2011 drucken lassen. Wenn ihr auch Interesse habt, euch einen zu sichern, schreibt mir einfach einen Kommentar (oder auch eine ENS auf animexx, dort findet ihr mich unter m-u-ll-e). Bitte nur ernst gemeinte Mails!

As I am just back from a conference and as I will be very busy working during the next week I thought I might upload another picture from the calendar. They all arrived at their new owners' and I got a really good feedback! Thank you all so much for that! I am happy you appreciate them and the work I put into them! Oh, and there are no more to get. The last two are gone. I got some more requests, but as long as these do not reach a certain number I am not thinking of a reprint. But we'll see...
