"The Inking Room" is an online art show hosted on Livestream, specializing in sketched and inked line art, watercolors, ink wash, and occasionally digital mediums. It is hosted by myself and my wife, Whitney.
During the show, we will:
- Draw and ink artwork for my personal comic projects, including Peter and Company, The Chronicles of Ademar, and any other projects I may have on my plate.
- Draw random nonsensical and occasionally off-color sketches as warmups, or just spend the entire two hours doing so if it's "one of those days."
- Listen to music and occasionally sing. You can tell me to stop.
- Request feedback and take requests from the viewing audience via the chatroom.
- Schedule live tutorials of traditional and digital art techniques.
- Try to keep the two hours as entertaining as possible.
I also typically record each show and post the saved video to the blog here after each broadcast. That way those who were unable to attend the show can catch up on what was missed.
Tonight’s show started off with an hour of messing around on piano, followed by another hour spent finishing the inking of lineart for page four of Ademar. The next step will be to start painting pages 2-4 now that the inking is all done! Sweet.

Tonight was originally scheduled to be a day of drawing pencils for Peter & Company, but I wasn’t happy with the script I had written so I decided to wait until tomorrow. As a last-minute substitution, I opted to finish inking page 3 of Ademar and get about halfway through inking page 4.
After taking a week off due to craziness of the holiday weekend and my coming down with a pretty hectic cold, I booted up the cam tonight and got some good time in to resume working on Ademar. I cleaned up a few parts of the pencils that needed fixing and started the inking of page two. The rest of the pages will come over the next few shows. The recorded video from tonight’s session, along with the work-in-progress of the inking, after the jump:
The inking of the lineart for the first page of Ademar was split across two separate nights — mostly because Futurama comes on at 10 pm on Thursday, and I ended up starting the show late that night anyway because I got caught in traffic. So I decided to swap out Sunday’s scheduled P&C page with Ademar, since I really want to start painting this first page as soon as possible. Now that it’s complete, I will be updating the schedule so that the first few nights are dedicated solely to painting in ink wash and watercolors.
