| Hellboy. 2010. Acrylic, gouache, and watercolor, on paper, 9 x 12". |
Here's some more Hellboy, this one done just prior to the New York Comic Con. I've gotten just one commission done this week (Hawkeye), so I'm slipping a bit behind. However, I'm still chipping away on a handful of projects that nobody will ever see (at least not for a long, long time), including some work "on spec." I hope I get the gig, but the competition is stiff.
Have a great weekend!
Very nice Paolo.
ReplyDeleteAwesome mix of media, do you go thick to thin? As in acrylic first, followed by the watercolor/ guache?
ReplyDeleteThanks, guys.
ReplyDeleteIf I remember correctly, the only acrylic on the piece is white, which was used at the end to define the outline and strengthen the eye glow... I may have glazed the eyes with acrylic yellow as well. Most of the paint is watercolor and gouache, both used very thinly. I especially like my reds to be transparent, which keeps them powerful and saturated.
Hey Paolo! That's a great painting!
ReplyDeleteI wonder, how much of a difference in cost was this compared to the full-body Hellboy you posted earlier in the month? Obviously the previous one took more time, so yeah.
I have to use gouache more thinly.
Thanks, Narco. The head sketches are $80, while the full-figures start at $600 (though the price will rise when I open up the list again—they definitely take a long time).
