I'm Inking Traditionally Again, And My Friend Lent Me Her Copies Of Hellboy. So The Inevitable Happened.

I'm inking traditionally again, and my friend lent me her copies of Hellboy. So the inevitable happened.

This is a study of Mike Mignola's art style and inking style (hellboy's pose is copied from comic cover art) and an attempt to apply what I learned from the study in the form of a turtle. I am having a great time :D
