Sketchercise #3 – Hellboy Universe: Professor Trevor Bruttenholm

Wednesday, September 1st, 2010

My first take on this theme was Lobster Johnson, but I struggled with his goggles on separate occasions. That slowed my progress to a halt. So the other night I was considering other options, when the good Professor jumped out at me!

I wasn’t sure how to illustrate his white hair & beard using just black & white so I just outlined it! I had a happy accident while inking the outline. My Prismacolor .01 pen tip split which gave me some really cool textures. I couldn’t have done that with a normal pen if I tried!

Sketchercise #3 – the Hellboy Universe

Friday, August 6th, 2010

What a great Sketch Charlotte meeting last night! I’ve been coming for over 2 years and I’ve never seen that many people…we had 15 show up! I have to admit I didn’t even know a good 5-6 people at the table. The drawing and conversation was so good I didn’t get a chance to get up and meet everyone. And the table set up didn’t really allow for it anyway. :(

Onto Sketchercise! #3 is my week and I’ve decided to choose anything and everything from any of the Hellboy and BPRD books! Have at it gang!

Here’s a little something to kick off the topic, a piece I did from last year’s sketchbook…Abe Sapien!

And yes, Tee, I’ll be doing a new sketch for this topic! ;)
