Inker
The inker (sometimes credited as the finisher or embellisher)[1] is one of the two line artists in traditional comic book production.
After the penciller creates a drawing, the inker interprets this drawing by outlining and embellishing it with a pencil, a pen or a brush. Inking was necessary in the traditional printing process as presses could not reproduce pencilled drawings. Another specialist, the letterer, handles the "inking" of text, while the colorist applies color to the final art submitted by the inker.[2]
