this comic artist Inoue Takehiko is good in using brush to draw comic. usually comic we use technical pen or very fine black ink pen to draw. The reason most comic artist using fine ink pen to complete the whole piece of artwork is fine ink pen can create fine line and can goes to very fine. comic is some thing that form by line so the artist must ensure that the pen can draw very detail and fine. Inoue Takehiko can do all this by using brush, brush is a tool that hard to use and control. but using brush can come out a very good effect. such as the image above. technical pen can make very fine details but it can't create the stroke like the brush do. I Think this is the reason why Inoue Takehiko use brush. The art work of Inoue takehiko always impress me in the way he try something new to apply in his work.

The stroke create movement effect when Inoue takehiko drag his brush. The brush stroke also create an atmosphere in the story itself. This comic is portrayed a samurai life in the Meiji era. After looking at this artwork, I realize that the tools we use is important to an artist. We always overlook upon the tools we use. But when we think deeply and try a lot of tools sometime we can get some new thing.
