Abe Sapien


Here's a drawing I did of Hellboy's resident fishman Abe Sapien played by Doug Jones. I'm stoked to see the latest Hellboy movie, I thought I'd do a drawing of Abe, one of my favorite characters. I did it for my comic club fanzine back home in Hawaii. I love drybrush...

Beautiful work! I heard you studied under vilppu, is that correct? How about Karl Gnass?

I did study under Glenn for many years, in fact, he was my first Jedi master! We even went to Italy on a sketch tour of central Tuscani over 10 years ago. I did get to study only a little bit with Karl when I was working at Sony on Open Season as a VisDev guys for a brief time.

That's awesome Paul. As someone that cannot at the moment go up to LA to study in person with someone like vilppu/gnass or you/chen/wen, would vilppu's training material be the next best thing?

Not sure if you'd have a reply for that since you had direct study from vilppu, no need to buy his videos. heh. I just really admire your guys' technique and style. Are you going to be selling any sketchbooks at comic con?

I would highly recommend Glenn's instruction books. He has an incredible talent for communicating methods to help you achieve your goals. I learned this stuff over 20 years ago, and I still am learning to master the techniques! They really work.
