 Re: Traditional Inking
I absolutely hate digital inking. Perhaps it's because I have an older wacom and not a monster Cintiq.
I started inking recently. I'm cheap, but I bought two Sakura Micron pens, one is already broke. I mostly ink with the 01 Micron on faces, and a Pilot Vball Pen that smears awful if I'm not careful but leaves a nice line. Then I use a Staedtler felt tip pen for outlines and blacks. I've also used sharpies and cheap felt pens from Target, I liked them but the dried out quickly.

 Re: Traditional Inking
Something to keep in mind is that pens like sharpies aren't acid-free, and will eventually fade or discolor your art. If you want your art to last, make sure your inks and paper are archival-quality/acid-free.

 Re: Traditional Inking
Good point NikiSmith. A lot of my old comic art was inked with sharpies and random markers and some of the pages have faded so much that they are practically worthless.
