Inking with a brush -- video resources
-
Here's a link to the movie version of John Buscema and Stan Lee's "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way", chapter 1. If you've read the book (which is a must, since it's probably THE foundational work for students wishing to learn to draw comics), they don't cover much new ground in the movie version that's not in the book.
However, there's a VERY short demonstration (about 7 seconds) of using a brush to ink. It's at 2:55. Note the thin to thick to thin lines done in a single stroke!
After this is a demonstration of HOW TO CLEAN YOUR BRUSH! This is a very important yet neglected bit of information that I've found is not usually covered in most inking books. It's at 3:03.
Here's the link. It doesn't play while embedded, so you'll need to click it once till it says "Embedding disabled by request", then move your cursor inside the image till it becomes a pointing hand and click again. This will take you to the original clip in Youtube.
Ex animo!

Here's a great brush inking demonstration by Gary Martin, author of The Art of Comic Book Inking. It's in multiple parts which are not actually in correct order, but it's worth watching them all anyway. I'm linking to the intro below. After it finishes choose Part 1 to continue to the next segment.

Here's another excellent brush inking demonstration by one of the all time greats, Will Eisner, creator of The Spirit and one of the originators of the American graphic novel.

A long rambling video from Eisner Award-winning Doug Tennapel in which he demonstrates some brush inking.
