Scott Williams speed inking 

The music scared the crap out of me

On average, I spend between 8 and 10 hours of actual work time on a page. I inked the panel in this demo in about 45 minutes of real time.

*cracks fingers* Alright looks straight forward enough I can do this. *spills entire bottle of ink over the paper* ...Fuck.

OHH GOD!!! thx for the little heart attack from the suddenly loud music!

I've been watching so much howtobasic that i thought he was going to splatter the ink over the drawing lol

Amazing work. I wish I could master a brush like that. I jumped on the digital band wagon but I still respect the talent of the brush and crow quill. Keep up the awesome work!

You are absolutely correct. Brushes are much more efficient and multipurpose. And a good brush makes the job all the easier and is much more forgiving to learn than a nib.

I come back to this video every now and then and it always blows my mind!! Amazing work

0:38 trying to give me a heart attack...

I appreciate the occasional real time moments, showcasing how deliberate and thoughtful each stroke is. I wish people would post the actual length of time a project like this consumes.

If that was me, I'd be so nervous I'd drench the page with sweat! So much precision, and you make it look so easy!

I'm surprised he didn't get any smudges. That ink dries quickly.

The look of your dog in the backround was hilarious cx, he's so cute

Brush control, wow. The risk put into making that with a paintbrush was high and you did it with no problem.

I've used a both brushes and quills for almost 25 years, but started doing a lot more of the brush work starting with Hush. Now I mix it up quite a bit on any given page. This was done with a brush exclusively just so I could speed up the video process.

I keep coming back to this vid over the years and it's incredible every single time!

All those lines and strokes with a brush, that's really amazing!!

that intro was a jump scare of the highest caliber

Instantly featured. How I wish we had all this media back in the 90's... Thank you for decades of inspiration, Mr. Williams!

I enjoy watching these types of videos for inspiration. They never fail me.

it's unreal how you made those lines look like you were still using a quill. I had read that you switched from quill to brush during the Batman Hush arc and here you demonstrate it doesn't matter what you use your technique is flawless.

I love this man's work. One of my favorite comic inkers. An artist himself.

Awesome video! I love how it slows down in certain spots to show actual speed of your strokes then speeds up again. keep posting!

Outstanding work by one of the best inkers in the trade.

Wow, this was incredible to watch!

God, this is so amazing. Look at those beautiful lines. Wonderful.

Great work,by one of my favorites inkers, one of the top bests!

Wow, I have been looking for a Scott Williams video on youtube for a looong time! Thank you so much, Mr. Williams! I really hope you do more of these!

Scott Williams giving us a glimpse into how the magic is made...and with a SICK song! More like this please.

I loved the varied hatching combined with the looser sktchy style in the corners. It made the whole thing way more dynamic. Thanks for posting this! :-)

Just wow. Beautiful. Your control is exquisite.

MASTER. i grew watching your art. is a pleasure to see you here on youtube.

Wow! THE Scott Williams! Great video, ppl complain because they want a how-to video. I remember when I was a kid I would draw all the little tapers in the lines with technical pens, before I found out they came naturally from a brush. You were, and are an inspiration, Sir.

kind of take for granted how much effort goes into these pages. Good job love the work and keep it up.

Beautiful stuff. Nothing but respect for this disciplined high quality master artform! 😱

That is crazy good...really beautiful calligraphy with the brush. You know, I kept waiting to see what you were going to do with the ink bottle. Every artist has their own system for the ink bottle, left side, right side, below...but you held onto it the entire time. I don’t know that I’ve ever seen that before.

I remember seeing some older Lee stuff before he started working with you. A world of difference. You made me understand at a very young age just how important your job is and I consider you two inseparable.

Good lord that was amazing. One of the all-time best inkers in the game right here. I could have watched you ink a whole page in real time. Great video editing as well.. I appreciated the small real time instances. PLEASE POST MORE VIDEOS!

I love the flourish you put on the end of your strokes!

To Mr. Scott Williams: I applaud that you are now interacting with your fans! You made me a subscriber of your channel. Thank You!!

This video was not played at a faster speed.... This is pretty much how he works.....

Outstandingly spectacular! Please post more of these, and in real time... even if it's raw, with little to no editing, no music, totally silent, or whatever, just watching your brush work is incredible!

This is beautiful, Scott! A really inspiring video!

Great job, your sensitivity towards every stroke is sublime!

Amazing work! I would never have thought such finesse was possible with a brush! I would like to try this style of inking out in the future. Look forward to seeing more of your and Jim's finished pieces :)

I think the the most underappreciated part of this video is how long it must have taken and all this inking just for one panel. One freaking panel. And as many have said before, without smudging or splattering any of the ink either. All in one sitting. What in the world?

Watching inside a silent room. Then at 0:39 the music started playing. WAHAHAHA!!! Thank you for letting us in on the process of making art. WOW!!! You are great Mr Scott Williams.

I think I already commented on this but just in case I didn't.......FREAKIN AWESOME!!!!! Nuff said. :)

A legend of comics! I'm lucky enough to have a page of Danger Girl art that you inked, and it is simply incredible. Brush work is beautiful.

I can't believe it took so long for me to find this. I absolutely love Jim Lee, but nobody can ink like Scott Williams. JL stuff looks so flat when someone else inks. Thanks so much for this, Scott.

I can't imagine how many hundreds and thousands of hours it takes to get this good. So fascinating to watch.

I am swooning over this. You're brush control is amazing. Whenever I try to ink with brushes it never wants to behave.

This is a great video, loved watching it, thank you for sharing!!

Good God, simply phenomenal

OMG!! Scott uses a brush!!! A BRUSH!!!Okay so now I need to re-evaluate my inking process . Great work Mr. Williams!!! You are a master of comic book art!

Hey this is really cool, but you didnt have to speed it up so much. I think people would really appreciate watching some of the lines being made in real time speed. It would add to the educational value off the video!

HUSH!!!! Its the supreme inking work!

Your work is always inspiring

awesome work dear god, those skills with just a brush!

amazing. masterful work

This is something I always wanted to see : a close up view of Mr. Scott Williams at work. Possibly the best inker alongside Terry Austin in the comic book industry.

My art is always in need of a great inker. I will never say my work is mine because the inker brings out the shine in my art. Great job!

I am impressed with patience and precision!

Love your inks man!

Scott Williams the GOD of inking . I never knew who you was but watched you many times from this video . Ricardo Mackey Creator of Phantom Raven and the Superior Strangers

Huge fan here, sir. Will definitely share this.

man my drawing look like someone wiped their ass with a rag drenched in puke and threw it on a piece of paper.

the best in the game! Such a master inker!

Great clip Scott. You and Jim are a great team.

Wow..whole new respect for inkers..wow..I especially n surprisingly like the subtle "accidental addition or changes in original drawing when inking. It also bears a certain artistic license along with responsibility while inking without harming drawing but rather enhancing it. OR..WOW..great great work.

Thank you for posting this vid Mr. Williams.

Amazing video!!!, very inspiring to all aspiring Inkers. Thumbs up for you Scott. Looking forward for the next one :)

This is amazing.. Beautiful inking technique.. :D I ink with pen only and whenever I see such a mastery of a brush I marvel at it.. :) And you sir are the master..

Scott Williams + Jim Lee = PERFECTION.

Absolutely awesome :D

Lovely stuff! Great amount of character in the strokes. And yeah, I'd love to see a little more of this in real time.

Awesome video! Please make more! Please please.

I just read all the HUSH comic....thanks for your hard work inking that, Mr Williams!

Aint going to lie, i bet thats so relaxing and therapeutic.

SICK! You make it look so easy man. Brushes terrify me...

you got to respect the level of patience that goes into this

Phenomenal. Proof these guys would be nothing without you! There was an Uncanny(273? 4?) That was pencilled by Jim Lee, Whilce, larry Stroman, terry Shoemaker, John Byrne, etc., and inked by... Uh... YOU! Tour de force!

Beautiful!!!

ur the best inker in comic history!

Scott, this is so great to see - thanks for posting (guess I'm a little late to the party, but its new to me!). I've admired your work on various artists for years, including Superman Unchained of course. I had no idea you used brushes so much - your lines always look so sharp, I had thought they must be pens. I'd love to learn even a fraction of that control... this has seriously inspired me to go out and buy a brush or two and practice some new techniques.

Big fan of you.thank you so much.

Must be a challenge inking Jim Lee's stuff.

Lmfao I got so excited once the music started. Great technique and vid.

Love your work, and would love to see more videos. Thanks!!!.

You just may have a future in this business! Incredible.

Scott Williams is my hero. Wow.

Amazing linework!

Here he comes Here comes Speed Inker He's a demon with brush He's a demon and he's gonna be Earning all his page rate He's dipped his Raphael and The page will come alive! Whether the publisher will Only put out Jive! And when the odds are against him & the Pencils suck, You bet your life Speed Inker Sees it through! Go Speed Inker! Go Speed Inker!

Way to jumpscare me with the music.

SO AMAZING.

Amazing...great job

A work of a master

i would never have the patience to draw something like this, but respect to him.
