58 | Not really. To both, actually. Inkers have had a real-life tool that made it easier to ink, it’s called a rigger-brush, which is a brush with a very long hairs. Due this length it sorta smooths out shakiness, and thus a favoured brush when inking at three in the morning. | 58 | Not really. To both, actually.

71 | In digital painting, we don’t have the luxury of being able to use two hands, so you can’t hold a ruler with one hand and adjust it while inking with the other.
