Inking 2: Nail It
Working your way from literacy to mastery.
Have you ever wished the class hadn't stopped?
Have you thought, "I miss the discipline of the class," Have you?
Well, no need for the hard sell here. This class is, by its nature, selective, and only available to graduates of Justine's Inking Master Class 1: Learn It! Do you want to pick up where you left off, master all you've learned, put it all to work for you, and enjoy the structure of Justine's classes and expectations? Alright then, let's keep going!
To be honest, when Justine pitched this class to Tom Hart (SAW founder), she was torn between knowing it was a good idea that filled a much needed hole in the education and learning experience. You see, she knew that once students grow and learn, they need disciplined time to practice and internalize. But she doubted if the concept would work. Would there be enough of Justine's alumni to join a second class devoted to mastery after the initial learning was done?

Instructor Bio:
The worst part was, I was so ignorant when it came not only to art, but to comics, that I was drowning in my own naivete. I didn't know where to begin...
Then I met my mentors, P. Craig Russell, Val Mayerik, Dan Adkins, Jim Steranko, Frank Thorne, John Workman, and Jeff Jones. At first it was brutal, I was immediately confronted with the shameful realization that I didn't know a damn thing bout drawing, nor about comics, and I suddenly felt an urgent need to get it together and get down to the hard work of learning the hard stuff, of learning the discipline of setting aside the fun stuff to focus on fundamentals.
Then, for decades, I worked 60 hours a week, I made a lot of sacrifices, and did every damn thing my mentors told me to do. In that time, I completed 4 published graphic novels for Fantagraphics, inked for DC Comics, Image Comics, and created hundreds of illustrations for WOTC/Dungeons & Dragons, as well as for Lucasfilm, and countless more images for numerous clients in a wide range of projects from ballet stage design to animation.
It's my philosophy that most of my students have set the bar too low for themselves, that they have no idea just how good and how BIG they can become as artists, if only they make wise conscious choices.
What I excel at is saving my students time and suffering. I learned it the hard way so my students don't have to. Of all the gifts I have, perhaps the one I am most proud of is my ability to take complicated concepts and distill them into something I can pass along to my students. My students not only learn from my successes, but my failures, and if you learn from me, you are not only learning from me, but you will be learning all my mentors taught me.
Through me, they and my own life lessons will all be teaching you together, and not just how to draw good comics, but about how to prioritize, set achievable goals, and how to avoid temptation and learn the discipline it takes to become great rather than merely good.
