Here is the finished pencil of a piece I will be inking during "Inktober."

For an image this intricate, success will be measured in a few ways. The first will be to define distance with the width of the ink line: thicker lines in the fore ground and thinner lines in the back ground. Also, the "grouping" of relative distant objects (whether or not they are close to each other) with similar line weight will help to visually create space. There will be lots of toning with the ink, as using a dry brush technique in places will help to establish value in the piece (although I will leave most of that to the color under painting).

Much of the initial readability of the image will come through the inks, as those are the lines and groups that will be re-enforced through the color application. At this point on my drawing board, it is a little over half-way inked, and I'll be posting some progress shots as I go along. The piece will be an urban night scene, and will be colored with water colors, dyes, gouache, prisma colored pencils.
