2020 - Having the GALL to ink this Covid-era HELLBOY sketch by the master himself, Mike Mignola, and apologizing accordingly! 😄

During the pandemic several years ago, the Previews catalogue order form cover printed this Mike Mignola pencil sketch of Hellboy wearing a face mask (the cover to his beautiful book collecting his quaratine-era sketches) that I instantly knew I had to ink as soon as I saw it, for the sheer fun of it!

Of course, having the audacity to do so, I obviously also knew I had to apologize profusely and immediately to the man himself, both before I began, as well as when I finished and signed my name next to his...! 😬

...sketchbook studying/readjusting - disappointed by my colors generally, as well as inking so laboriously. Therefore studied Max Fiuamara & James Harren as pencilers who ink their own work. Fiumara studies used copic multiliners, uniball type pens, Gelly Rolls and felt really flat - unappealing... so went to the stash of Harren BPRD issues (personal favs) & found a some real characters & used Japanese Pentel Pocket Brush / Copic Gasenfude Brush tip pens & just let loose with the Wite-Out (Gelly Rolls not very helpful here) Lastly, Dave Stewart is the GOAT - could praise his work endlessly.
