I know it's a personal preference, but I can't help but think it's time to bite the bullet and begin doing entirely digital inking. The trade-off for me is digital looks cleaner, it's 100% scalable, it's seductively malleable, but it takes forever. My hand-inked work, depending on how badly I've abused the paper, can be passable in a journeyman-storyteller way, but it's difficult to fix and once I scan it into Adobe Illustrator, it becomes vector artwork anyway.
So should I put a stop to my ink pen habit? Check out my gallery of finished erotic pinups. I'll probably be wrestling with this issue all year and I'd love to hear from the community.
Also -- should erotic digital comics be landscape or portrait?
