Cover inker

A cover inker provides finished artwork, ink and embellishment to the cover of a comic book, magazine or manuscript. They create the final look of the product before it is sent off to the colorist. Inkers are as much artists themselves as the pencilers they are working with, each one bringing their own style and sense of flair to the artwork in question. Depending upon the personal style of the inker in question, an inker's work can either greatly enhance an artist's pencil work, or in some cases, lessen the desired effect.
