And let me know where I can see your inking on Barks!
I'm sure it's okay to post a half page here:
This was the first half page of Carl's "The Pied Piper of Duckburg", which he wrote and started drawing for his 1959 first Gyro Gearloose Dell Four Color Series one-shot comic book. He had finished sketching the first 3 pages in non-photo blue pencil, and realised that he would be spending wayyyyyyy too much time and effort, drawing hundreds of rats in the background of the panels of the 8-page story. So, he shelved the story, and substituted another one he quickly wrote. I wanted to see how it would look if Carl had finished it (inked it), and it would have been printed. Don Rosa finished the 3 pages by inking them in his own 1970s US Underground style, and also wrote his own version of the rest of that story (making it very different from what Barks would have done). Years later, Daan Jippes wrote and drew his own version, inking over the 3 Barks pages, and finishing it in his own style, but a LOT closer to Barks' style than Rosa's.
I have sent the remaining half pages of my inks of Barks' 3 pages to your CB+ "My Messages" box.
Keep in mind that I am a penciler and storyboard sketcher, but I never spent much time working on my inking technique, so my line thickness and inking dynamics is rather weak. But, even so, my finished artwork on these pages looks a LOT more like Barks than Rosa's (which looks more like Robert Crumb inked his, and for that matter, makes it look like Crumb had drawn the pencil lines, as well!)
