Hellboy page 9, layout, pencils and inks
The second panel on this page inspired the cover drawing. We worked "Marvel style". Mike wrote a plot, I did layouts, then pencils. Working from scans of the pencils, Mike wrote the final script and did balloon placements. Finally, I lettered the pages (right on the boards... with a dip pen!) and did the inks.

ReplyDeleteSigh, lettering on the boards, lovely! A skill I wish I'd developed, I'd love to draw the balloons and Booms in, the way it used to be.

Yeah, simply awesome:) Thanks for shearing!
ReplyDeleteSo lovely!
ReplyDeleteArnie, to answer your question about the little changes from layout to finished pencils, this was a difficult page and there was a lot of trial and error. It didn't really come together until the end.
ReplyDeleteThis feels like a crash course in the whole process! Thanks for sharing it, Kevin. I can't wait to read it! This is already getting to be my favourite Hellboy art ever.
