It's so nice to learn from your years of experience Jake. Thank you for putting so much thought in to building these skills, one upon the next. I look forward to gaining confidence in my ink-work until the pen feels like an extension of my hand/brain. Just a few short years... I want to ink like Charles Dana Gibson.

This comprehensive ink drawing course with SVS instructor and artist, Jake Parker will leave you wanting for more. He is a master in all he does and it's great that he is willing to share his knowledge and experience with us. From a basic level to the more advanced, you will gain applicable skills to use in your ink drawings and even in other mediums, too. Kudos to you, Jake and thank you.

After How to Draw Everything, I knew Jake would be great at helping me get better at inking, something I've never done. After his class, I feel confident on inking and am excited to continue practicing using his exercises to get better. This really is a top notch class you can't find anywhere else. I am immediately better having gone through it. Thank you, Jake!

awesome

Everything is explained in a very simple and effective way, this is an absolutely essential course. Thank you very much!

Effective and very interesting course. Thank you :p

A straightforward, easily understandable intro to inking. Jake is an inspiration. Thank you.

This is a great course! In over 4+ hours Jake breaks down all of the elements that define his way of inking. He explains strokes, line thickness, contour- and form lines, shading and texturing, and then puts it all together in a few inking demo’s. Definately fun and helpful if you love rendering drawings in ink. Worth it!

I am working on my first illustrated novel and being self-taught, I was really nervous about the line work. I could not figure out why my illustrations did not look like comics. I just finished this class with the drawing of a dragon in armour and a sweet little tree. AND THE BOTH LOOK like real COMICS!. (Both drawings are part of the final tutorial of this course) I have learnt a lot in these four hours. In fact I just went over some comic books and I can understand now why the line is thick in and place thinner in other. This course covers the basics, and I find this to be fundamental to understanding inking and how comics are done. None of the books I have read on the subject made it so clear to me. This is really one of the best short courses I have taken! The course is clear, starts from zero explains everything, is right to the point. I really like the exercises, they do improve one's line work and control over the pen or brush. I just hope I can translate what I learnt here to my current and future work. Just be aware that this is NOT a drawing course! THanks so much to the teacher!

It was a great way to get back to inking after years of not doing it. It is very comprehensive and his way of teaching is easy and the workflow helps to improve naturally. Thanks Jake!

This class was fantastic for understanding all the basics to inking and also for those who may have been doing it for a bit. It was great to learn the term, "Line Hierarchy" and grow deeper in my understanding of line weight, line overlap, interior, exterior, form and feathering. As I embark on creating an Activity and Coloring Book to companion my children's picture book this course has been very helpful and inspirational.

I love how the class broke down different aspects of inking, and explained in such a clear language. I like the class so much because it not only gives me very concrete excises I can do to improve my inking skill, but also it gives me the language to do self-critic of my own work. Thank you for doing this class.

This course really helped me to understand how to work with ink drawing and which approaches I should use to get the desired result. Great for beginners and for who wants to improve their inking technique. Thank you, Jake!

I really enjoyed How to Ink 2.0. I learned a great deal and feel like I've seen an improvement in my inking even in the short time that I've taken the class. I specifically took this class in preparation of Inktober so I hope to use some of my new knowledge to improve even more. It was fantastic how much more in depth Jake went into the specifics of the terms associated with inking. I took tons of notes and have often referred back to them while drawing. Thank you for the time and effort put into the creation of this class. It is much appreciated.

Love it! Many many information in a very clean exposition! GREAT!!!

Absolutely one of the best online teacher ever! He is very clear & very professional, his lessons are a pleasure to follow! I await a new drawing course...whatever it is!

I first learned how to ink from Jake's original How to Ink video, and this one is a splendid update. The fundamentals, demos and exercises are all well-explained. Jake is a personable, encouraging instructor. He makes you want to jump right in with inking! The included practice sheets offer a great range of complexity.

Thank you, Jake. The course was very helpful and fun. I'm not a beginner, but I realized that I basically ignored some major rules all my life (e.g. weight) So right now I'm looking through piles of older pencil drawings of mine and apply my new inking skills to those....such an improvement!!!

I am so happy to get access to this course. Thank you, Jake for adding up to the inking class. Highly recommended!

This was very easy to follow. Seeing how it's done just makes it easier to learn. I can take what I learned here and look at other artist's and now I understand how they inked their work. That's the biggest take away for me. I really love the inking classes! Thanks so much!
