Portfolio Review: Inking
$49.99 – $99.99
If you want a review to evaluate how well you ink over someone else’s pencil work, you may submit up to five pages of sequential art inked. In order to properly evaluate your inking, we would also like you to submit those same pages in their penciled version as we need to compare a before and after in order to properly evaluate your inking techniques.
These pages do not have to be in sequence, and we recommend inking samples over more than one pencil artist. Maybe three pages from one, and two pages over a second penciler’s work.
To submit your art for review, do the following:
- Select the range of pages you will be submitting
- Click “Add to Cart.”
- Go to your cart. Current Community Pro members receive a 10% discount.
- Proceed to checkout. Fill out all the billing information.
- Click “Place Order.”
- After purchase, you will be asked to fill out a form which will request:
- The name of the artist.
- The email address you would like the review sent to.
- A link to the portfolio pages (ideally, a PDF).
Note, we recommend submitting no more than 10 pages for review. That is typically enough for one of our professional editors or artists to get a good sense of where you may want to concentrate for improvement.
Our style for review is an affirming and honest one. We’re not here to tear anyone down, but rather to honestly evaluate your work and give you helpful, and actionable critiques so that you know what to work on to improve your pages going forward. We are polite and professional and only want to see you succeed.
Most reviews are handled by Andy Schmidt, a former Marvel Comics and IDW Publishing Editor and Senior Editor, a comics writer, educator and publisher. He’s worked on small independent comics as well as blockbuster best-sellers.
