So, I've been wanting to learn how to ink for a while and I figure the best way to learn a skill is by copying artists you love. So you don't need worry about what to draw, and you can just focus on trying to break down the "How". Obviously this involves a lot of sucking, but that's the fun part!
1) These are my tools: A 2B pencil for sketching, a god quality nib pen, and a sharpie (I want to use a brush, but I'm not ready yet :P)
2) Start with the loose sketch and flesh it out. The quality of the drawing is not so important as it's just practice. In fact it probably feels less precious if it's a bad drawing :P
3) Then using the pen nib I draw the linear, leaving blacks and thick strokes to be done with the brush (in my case a Sharpie).
4) Finish it off with the sharpie and erase the pencil marks! Now my plan is to do this every morning for 50 days and hope I a better at the end of it :P
