Description
Yet another in-class assignment from that inking class you all have heard so much about lately. I've got addicted to inking stuff, it's so much fun! Although this assignment has been the most challenging yet. The original drawing was done by Klaus Jansen in memory of Will Eisner's passing during one his visits to our school (for those who don't know, he inked The Dark Knight returns by Frank Miller), and it was MESSY! As a blue line drawing it was barely decipherable what the elements looked like and there was pretty much no detail. It was obviously drawn just for him, but it was an excercise for the scenario "What if it wasn't his to ink?"

I did the best I could and ended up with one of the tighter drawings that actually resembled The Spirit. Although there was still a lot I missed in the drawing that I could have taken advantage of. It might have just been the jet lag my professor had from a trip he went on this weekend, but he was displeased with everyone's pages again. When he showed us the real page inked, all of our pages were like a 180 from how the original artist interpreted it. Not that it's a bad thing, but all of our solutions were sloppy pretty much.
