Description
So, I've had quite a few people ask me how I draw the things I draw, what's my process? Well, I've been meaning to do this for quite some time, and I FINALLY accomplished my goal!I've put together three tutorials to illustrate my drawing process, and this is the second of those three: The Ink/Lineart phase.
I used my "Rain" drawing and as I went along, scanned in each and every step to save and put this together after I finished it.
I used MS Paint to put it together, so it may not be very eye catching in appearance itself, but I hope it will still be helpful none the less.
The second of a three part set!

Thank you! 
I do typically use heavier paper, and while the method is pretty tedious (and probably rather rough on my pens and paper at times) I've found it works rather well for me. I have been thinking of trying a newer technique sometime, see if I can get my brain to switch gears some, and doing the main lines (with the .01 pen) before going back and doing the finer details, that would at least save my .005 pen a bit of grief and perhaps make it a little less tedious on my end lol.

Close I think microns and prismacolor pens (the ink pens) are fairly similar. I may have to check out what kinds of ink pens I can find next time I'm looking for art supplies 
That's what I'm thinking about trying is using my heavier pens for the broad work and then making sure to leave the details for a lighter pen afterward. Sounds like it's a great time saver!

I didnt know you did more than one layer of inking. Thats so cool, it must be kinda tedious though.
ive always liked the way you ink the lines that touch the background, so step three i like the best.

Sometimes it can be kinda tedious, especially when you make a pretty irreparable mistake and have to start over, or even worse (like I did on a couple of my MLP:FiM pony drawings) screw up during the marker phase bad enough to where you have to start the ink process all over again 
I still think it's worth it for sure
