Hellboy Sketchercise: The Baba Yaga!

by Henry

This week’s Sketchercise is The Hellboy Universe and the character I’ve sketched up is The Baba Yaga, a scary old Slavic hag who rides around in a mortar counting dead people’s fingers and eatin’ toddlers. She’s a hoot and a half. I actually wasn’t that familiar with her but fortunately Brandon forwarded me this link where you can read her particular Hellboy encounter in full:  http://www.darkhorse.com/Features/Animations/12/Hellboy-The-Baba-Yaga

I drooded this one here with a Japanese nib (Nikko 357) and a pot of ink on Bristol. Used markers for all that blackground.

    Incredible inks, Henry! This is really, really, REALLY good. I think I might have to quit Sketch Charlotte. (Heh)
