I’ve been slack posting these over here, so I thought I’d do an AlphaBeast sketch dump of sorts.

Thursday, September 2nd, 2010Sketchercise #3 – Hellboy Universe: Professor Trevor Bruttenholm
Wednesday, September 1st, 2010My 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!

Hellboy Sketchercise: The Baba Yaga!
Monday, August 9th, 2010This 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.
Sketchercise #3 – the Hellboy Universe
Friday, August 6th, 2010What 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!
