inking with a shaky hand?

Question

i have mild dislexia, and it makes my hands shake when i do close work. i was wondering what is the best way to ink in cartoon pages/manga/anime art that i do? it look good in pencil, but not professional, then i ruin it when i try to ink it..

Answer 1

Learn how to create graphic artwork on your computer.
CorelDraw is great, as is their competitor Adobe Illustrator.
In Corel you have complete control over every little node, and your work will be crisp and precise.

Answer 2

Dyslexia really would not cause this problem. Many people cannot ink liek a professional, and ruining a drawing is common for those people. If you hand shakes it shakes when you ink, and the only think I can say is, turn to computer art (a program). Only way to get perfection.

Answer 3

Doing close detail work can be stressful on the eyes as well as the muscles in the hands and neck to begin with. When I did pen and ink work I used to stretch my hands and move back from the paper when I got shaky. Try not to work so close to the paper, if you have to, get a magnifying arm to attach to your work table that has a light. They sell them at the art supply places. That will allow you to see the drawing close up but relieve the strain that you might be feeling by being too close.

Answer 4

a) use Adobe Ilustrator (although hand shaking may be more of a problem here)

b) do what comic book artists do and get someone else to ink it.

c) don't do small, tight, "close" drawings, but instead art that suits your body. Try painting, video, graffitti, pottery.
