Students must bring (and pay for) their own black ink, white ink, a Crow Quill pen with two nibs, and Frisket.]

This hands-on inking course, taught by PHYLLIS NOVIN, is designed for those new to comic book inking as well as for those who want to expand their basic inking skills. The course is primarily brush-orientated, but will also include instruction in the use of crow quill pens and other tools. Through working with these tools of the trade, you’ll learn inking techniques and develop a sense of the “thinking behind the inking.” The goal for the course is for each student to have created at least two inked pages by its end.

PHYLLIS NOVIN learned her craft while apprenticed to Bob Layton of Iron Man fame while working at Valiant Comics. She went on to work at DC, Marvel, Crusade and others. She expanded her repertoire to include animation-style comics inking and has worked on Johnny Bravo (Cartoon Network), Rugrats (Nickelodeon), Futurama (Bongo), and is currently working on The Simpsons for Bongo.
