Can you cough it up loud and strong
The immigrants, they wanna sing all night long
It could be anywhere
Most likely could be any frontier
Any hemisphere
No man’s land
There ain’t no asylum here
King Solomon he never lived ‘round here

Straight to hell boy
Go straight to hell boy
Go straight to hell boys
Go straight to hell boys

~ The Clash

Some late night doodling with markers in the sketchbook produced my first ever attempt at Mike Mignola’s incredible Hellboy.
I’ve been a big fan for years and especially loved Guillermo Del Toro’s interpretation with Ron Perlman perfectly cast as the titular character.

Spain-México
20th century
She was one of the firts women to study Fine Arts in Madrid. After finishing her learning, she stablished in Barcelona, during the Spanish Republic, where she worked as a designer for advertisements. In this period, she started surrounding herself into surrealist movements as well as libertarian tendencies.
After the spanish civil war, she fled to Paris, but due to the nazi invasion of France ascension of fascism in the whole Europe, she exiliated herself to Mexico and never returned.
Her work was a neverending path of masterpieces of surrealism, with very diverse references coming from alchemy, enthomology, or psychoanalysis.

As all my other Inktobers, this piece is now available at my online store. 

Elisabetta Sirani
Italy 17th
Baroque painter who was one of the firsts woman to have international projection.
As usual, her “condition” of woman didn’t permit her entrance into an academia of arts, so she had to learn working at his father’s atelier. Even so, she was never allowed to draw with live models, which was an obstacle in order to develope proper anatomy skills.
At only 19 years old, she was the breadwinner of her family since her father became to sick to work, and the poor economical status of her family pushed her to be extremely productive.
Her special field were religious paintings, which atracted many noble visitors to her atelier, among them, there was the Great Duke Cosme III Médici.
Sadly she passed away at only 27 years old. Was she the founder member of the 27 club, maybe? What it is true is that in only 8 years of professional career, she left more than 200 paintings with an amazing technique.

As all my other Inktobers, the original piece is available at my online store.

Marguerite Gérard
France.
18th-19th centuries
She was a painter and etching artist who didn’t have access to academic training due to her “condition” of being a woman. Luckily, Jean-Honoré Fragonard married her older sister and took her as pupil. They did a series of etchings collaborating together, but many historians believe that the majority were in fact done by Marguerite on her own.
Her work was advertised as “sous les yeux de Fragonard” (under the eyes of Fragonard) overestimating Fragonard’s role in her art. Finally, she gained recognition from Napoleon and Louis XVII and was awarded with gold medals.

As all my other Inktobers, this original piece is available at my online store.

Margaret Sarah Carpenter
England
18th-19th centuries.
Romantic painter who was awarded multiple times who stablished her reputation as a fashionable portrait painter. In the case of this piece, the subject of the portrait happens to be the great Ada Lovelace, mother of the computer language.
An art reviewer once wrote about her:“It very rarely happens that a specimen of art like this is produced from the hand of a lady: Here are colour, light, strength and effect, and anatomical drawing”. Terrible compliment!

This drawing is available at my online shop.

Another redraw from Charles Perugini. These is a good exercise for practicing and improving your skills. Pick a classic artist you love, and draw on your own style and technique! Will you do it?
