gobbo sketch (Patreon)

i love mark schultz's work (top two image references)  so i did a study to try and emulate his older style, from Xenozoic tales 13 and 14.  the pencils turned out good but when i tried to ink the image with some nice dark shadows it looked TERRIBLE.  so i toned back the inked lines a bunch and used some watercolor brushes for color.  although i like the result here i need to do more practice on that heavy inked line work with light feathering
