Inking Characters in Illustrator, en route to Toon Boom

From my previous post, I took my paper inked drawings, scanned them in, then inked them in Illustrator.

I'm now realizing that this is much more difficult than I had originally thought.

Just looking at John K's inking tag on one of his blogs, really makes me see I have long way to go!

Anyways, here is the rasterized version of the vectored character from the previous post.

I was trying different techniques with inking each of those poses above hence why they look a bit different from each other.

Looks like the rest of today is going to be dedicated to practicing this more instead of working on animation!
