Najbolje ti je proucavati druge autore. Ja najvise naucio od Sudzuke i Biukovica :)

Books on inking comics: no idea

I may be horribly wrong, but in my experience, it's not too terribly different from just inking in general. Hatching, full black, line widths, getting the B/W balance, etc.

The textbook on inking in my major: DC Guide to Inking Comics (http://www.amazon.com/DC-Comics-Guide-Inking/dp/0823010295/sr=1-1/qid=1157164804/ref=sr_1_1/103-1775720-3513403?ie=UTF8&s=books)

Precisely the one I was going to suggest.

One of the best books on inking is 'The Art of Comic-book Inking' by Gary Martin. There are two books in this series-book 1 is the best of the two and has the title in red on the front cover,book 2 has the title in green. I have a horrible feeling that book 1 may be out of print so you may have to hunt down a second hand copy.If that's the case you may want to be aware that a second hand copy may be missing the sample pages by Steve Rude for inking practise which are printed on Bristol board in the back of the book.

Thanks alot guys, I'm definitelly interested in "The Art of Comic-Book Inking". Also, it seems that Marvel book gives you a real "classic" feel of the artform, although I'm more into Moebius/Manara kind of art than Marvel. Still, Marvel is as 'comicsy' as it gets I suppose.
