an artist who does the first stage of the drawings for a comic , graphic novel, or animation (= a book or film whose story is told in pictures), either in pencil or on a computer

Pencillers draw the panels, illustrating the story. 铅笔师绘制画板，表现故事。

I would say I had more interaction with inkers than with pencillers. 我觉得我与着墨师的互动比与铅笔师的多。

Compare: colourist (ARTIST)inkerletterer
