The Road to Manga - Inking 101

Have you ever wished to draw your own manga but have difficulty when it comes to translating your awesome pencil drawing into ink? Or are you starting out and do no feel so sure about how to use ink? Then this course is for you. 
My name is Olga Rogalski from Studio Oruga and I have published manga professionally and have been in love with ink for many years. In this course I want to teach you my techniques. My technique depends a lot on developing your muscle memory and by making use of the things that are around you.
You will need:
Ink, nibs, a nib holder and a thin watercolor brush. As an alternative, you can use fineliners. 
High quality printing paper fit for business cards. It´s smooth surface handles ink rather well and is cheaper than artist paper. (Personally, I use Color Copy for that.)
A printer. 
You will learn: 
…how to use ink and how to create textures and patterns.
…how to create your own texture/pattern catalogue that you can consult in your inking.
…how to train your muscle memory and develop your very own inking style by working with the work sheets. 
The course will include: 
blueprints for textures and patterns
blueprints for the lessons so that you can work along
additional blueprints that you can experiment your inking on
