Sweet work. Do I detect a bit of Mignola influence in the zombie?

You bet!
I've never drawn a zombie before, so I had all my HELLBOY trade paperbacks handy for inspiration!

Good call. If you're going to look for zombie inspiration you might as well go to the master of creepiness. Came out great.

Wow, really cool. Do you always do the logo lettering by hand?

AdamHughes In reply to rafaelalbuquerqueart [2009-11-10 15:47:42 +0000 UTC]

No, only when it's incorporated into the design or art in some way.

Brilliant work Adam, Im always blown away by your lineart... so clean! What kind of pen or ink do you use?

👍: 0 ⏩: 1

AdamHughes In reply to SHAN-01 [2009-11-10 16:08:44 +0000 UTC]

I use sable-hair brushes, I mix a cocktail of inks using several different Dr. Ph Martens Black Star india inks, and I use tech pens ofr technical linework.

SHAN-01 In reply to AdamHughes [2010-01-26 04:15:39 +0000 UTC]

Nice! I was thinking of dabbling into some brush and inks myself, but wasn't sure what to use haha

Thanks alot Adam for taking the time to answer back. Much appreciated!

fskn In reply to AdamHughes [2009-11-11 09:45:14 +0000 UTC]

Why is that you mix them, Adam?
Is it because you get a certain "darkness" of black, or is it because you get some density/thickness (how do you say that in english?)... why..?

By the way, I said that before (so, sorry to bother again), but I wish there were more videos of you working.

Cheers!

AdamHughes In reply to fskn [2009-11-25 19:34:01 +0000 UTC]

You got it. I mix them to get a certain opacity that I can't get with the individual inks!

...ive been sitting here for a few minutes now wondering what i can even say. all i need is an ounce of your talent and ill be good. you need to bottle it or make a cologne fold out in one of your comics where you can tear out the page and rub it on you so you have a little more idea on how to draw and ink....ok i think i went to far...its just really good. huge fan man.
