Famous Artists Cartoon Course: Lesson 3 - Inking the Head and Figure

I am not good at inking.  Actually, I'm terrible.  I freeze up or want to do many sketchy lines when one good one would do.  So I almost skipped this lesson altogether.  With Photoshop this grueling art form has been mercifully updated to be a little less of something that could cause suicidal depression. 

The inking here was done in Photoshop.  Please note: THESE ARE NOT MY DRAWINGS!  I only inked the ones with the circled letters underneath.  My ink practice can be found to the right or below the examples and even those were done over a provided pencil sketch.  I traced.  That is what the lesson called for and it was still a pain.  Not as bad as I had initially thought though.
