You’ve drawn your characters and settings with a pencil: now you need to go over the contours with ink and add effects (speed or focus lines, grids, etc.) The advantage of pens: their narrow , precise and dynamic line… just what you need!
To get comfortable, practice!
Once you have gone over all the contours with the pen, you need to erase the pencil lines, then add the details you missed with the pen. A delicate step that requires time and attention.
Even pros make errors while inking with a pen… what's important is remembering to erase them or cover them up.
