Now I just have to get the nerve to ask people to allow me to use their inked work... I'm fearful of using other artists work without permission

If anyone can be bothered, please tell me the etiquette to approaching artists for large scans of their inked paged. I'm just a beginner and so most of the stuff that I'm gonna start with is gonna be for practice. It will be a while for any stuff that I do is fit for public viewing

In the meanwhile, I'm working with Photoshop figure out those pesky but very very essential flats!!

A favorite artist of mine Mike Wieringo passed away suddenly due to a heart attack. The same week a friend of mine (also a budding artist) for two years on the MMO WoW also died. My condolences go out to both their families.

I would always say to myself that right now I'm busy, soon enough I'll get the chance to learn to ink and color. Time to to get off my own ass and do something about it
