Hellboy

Here's a drawing I did over the last few days. I haven't drawn for a while. I was focusing on other things and hit a lull. This was my attempt to break out of it. This is obviously a picture of Hellboy. Most people didn't know who he was before the movies came out. I haven't seen the second one yet, probably should. I liked the first film but it was mostly based on the first few storylines of the series, mostly "Seed of Destruction" and "Conqueror Worm". Nowadays Mike Mignola is basing most of his stories on old folklore. It is supernatural with an emphasis on natural. This is what makes Hellboy such a unique character. I thought that Guillermo Del Toro emphasized the more superhero elements and less of the old style horror and folklore that makes the comics so unique. I drew the drawing in a more traditional comic style, pencil and ink with no layering on photoshop.
