Jonah Hex sketch and inks

This is a quick sketch I drew of Jonah Hex that I got the awesome Jimmy Palmiotti to ink up at the Armageddon Pulp Expo in Wellington on the weekend.

I've always been a fan of great inkers and I thought that rather than have Jimmy sign something for me, I decided to have him ink a sketch. It's seems like forever since I saw Jimmy's name on an inking credit.

But yeah - inking to me is an art form onto itself. I've always been fascinated by how someone else interprets anothers artwork and with an inker, you get a great physical indication of how someone sees your art. I love to see how my drawing is interpreted through someone else's eyes.

So yeah - I'm gonna be trying to get my traditional inking chops up to a competent standard as it's something I really enjoy and respect.
