Hulk like striped leggings
January 2nd, 2007Wow, holidays sure take a toll on the old blog action. Anyways, here’s an illustration I did of The Hulk. Click on the orange “more” link to some exploration sketches, etc.

My first sketch was just too ogre-ish. Plus, there’s just something not right about that doo.

Next I tried a kid hulk. That felt like it was going nowhere too. At least you could set a drink on his head though.

Don’t ask.

Ahhh, now we’re getting somewhere. Not exactly sure where, but somewhere definitely.

But he needed some sort of garb. Something that said “I’m the Hulk darn it, me smash!” So striped leggings, pointy slippers and circus pants, here we come!

Then I brought the sketch into Painter and using sponge brushes, colored underneath the sketch.

And there you have it. Click on the image below for a bigger version.

I like the cut of this fancy-pants-twinkle-toes-Hulk’s jib. I like the quick kid-hulk sketch too!

very cool. I like all the versions, the pea-headed one is just so different… from everything. Could be a good exploration some day. I would love a pair of those star hulk pants fory my own bad self. Great stuff as always. Why do hulk drawings show up in groups?? I have no idea.

Sarah, Hulk is just another pretty boy.
Doug, yes, if my wife let me, I’d dress like this every day.
Jim, I may to revisit that one sketch, I did it in about 3 seconds to see where it would go. And it went somewhere alright.
Cristina, ha, thanks!
