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.
