Traditionally, Comic Book artists have inked their work -- but from my understanding that's because Comic books started out with primitive mass production printers that only had a good image when the image has been inked. Even with work from Jim Lee, the work is always Inked, but possibly that's because it's just become a force of habit and he only does the rough sketch with the pencil and does the rest... a lot of the time that I've seen... with ink.
Couldn't help but notice the original pencil marks through this image. And ever since image comic (especially Pitt comics) I've seen pencil being part of the final comic book image -- and I think photoshop is to thank for this.
I'm not criticizing -- in fact I have always though that this was a good thing. But is it still seen as Taboo in the Comic book industry to NOT ink your pages?
