hellboy is surprisingly difficult to draw (for me at least). mignola's vision (and version) is so distinct that i was tempted to ape or at least pay homage to his style. bad mistake. i had to draw and re-draw the pic, and i was never happy each time.
i came up with a drawing, but was so unhappy with it, i chucked it and started over. this time i just did my own thing, and i'm 100% happier with the result.
