105 - Hogarth's Hands... Halmost


Burne Hogarth has been called "The da Vinci of Comic Books".  Certainly the man was a master. 

Here, I am emulating as best I can from Hogarth's source.  Among Mr. Hogarth's legacies are an unequalled set of books detailing anatomy for artists.  My sketch here approaches being satisfactory, but the Hogarth drawings are nothing short of brilliance.  It's humbling to attempt to recreate these pieces, but instructive as well, which I hope makes the process worthwhile.
