Ink! Ink! Ink! Develop your inking skills by celebrating the illustrators that inspire you.

Join graphic novelist Ira Marcks as you learn to build stronger compositions, ink bolder lines, and utilize your inspirations. Through a series of inking exercises, Ira looks deep into the styles of the artists that have inspired his work since childhood. Odds are, you know a few of them! This class is ideal for creative illustrators, visual designers, and everyone looking for new and exciting ways to draw and ink their ideas.

This lesson is filled with twists and turns through the inspirations and memories of an artist and wonders how we all find our unique place in the vast world of illustration. When you complete this journey, you'll never look at an inky line in the same way again.
