I'm not sure if DestroyComics is still posting the THB panel studies, but I started this a week ago, then did some life stuff. I just finished it.

I chose this panel sequence for a ton of reasons, primarily the exchange of expressions between the two characters at such a pivotal part of HR's evolution as a character. Also, I really like Pope's lettering.

For my study, I did only light pencils before inking, trying to focus on brush stroke and detail. This is also why the proportions are stretched, because I was focusing on pieces in lieu of the whole. For the final version, I wanted to toy with the blacks and textures.

My tools were basically the same as before, and I was listening to a bunch of stuff, but I remember rocking to Queens of the Stone Age when I started this thing, and finished up with Panda Bear's Tomboy.

This is my contribution to Destroy Comics callout to artists, to take a stab at some studies of Paul Pope's THB.

I've been a fan of THB since it came out in 1994 when I was a little kid. I had the fortunate luck to live in Columbus, Ohio at the time Paul was living there and self publishing, so I have quite a bit of "old THB" books and memorabilia. Consequently, I've been doing studies of Paul's work for almost two decades. 

"THB Panel" from Paul Pope's Giant THB 1.v.2. Top panel is Paul's original, the second is my study, drawn and inked as closely to Paul's as possible, and the second is more or less my riff on the panel more to my liking. 

Tools: I inked with a 00 sable mix, and a 1 sized sable brush, using sumi ink. Paul typically uses a 000 sable hair, which is just a little too small for me. I'm honestly more comfortable with the 1. Paul often works with over sized originals, which is partly what allows him to use such small brushes. 

Music: Black Angels, Simian Mobile Disco, and Daft Punk.
