What kind of brush pen do you use to ink your artwork? Do you use a traditional brush and dip it in India Ink? What about a brush with built in ink like the Sakura Pigma Brush? Or do you use just pens?
Soryy for the weird question, but I really like your lines. The varied widths thing is like what the real comic book inking look like.
Generally, I start with pens (Sakura Pigma Micron pens 05 and 005, to be exact!) to do the outlines and some black fill. Occasionally, I'll use a brush pen (I'm looking at a Faber-Castell PITT pen, bold, right now) to do those lines, but that's very rare. I use my traditional brush and India ink for fills, since I don't have a brush hand steady enough for linework. Finally, inkwash is done with the traditional brush and watered-down India ink.
Line variation is something I try, but ultimately fail at most of the time! Since I use my pens for outlines most of the time, the variation in width isn't always there. I suggest using a brush pen if you have a steady hand, since those can produce a wider variety of line widths than pens.
