Here are a selection of panels of my inking work for Panini.
G.I.JOE #4 is available from all good newsagents from the 5th November please check it out.
The issue of Spetacular Spider-Man has no publishing date as yet, I will let you know as soon as I can.
This sketch above of Wolverine was drawn for me by my good friend Martin Griffiths at one of the London comic conventions back in 98!
Here are some pages of my eary pencil and ink samples.
Page 1: A inking sample page I did when Top Cow came over to the UK to the Bristol Con, this page helped me get my first and only inking job with Top Cow which was on a title called KIN inking the very talented Gary Frank.
Page 2: Very early inking sample page which I only found a couple of months ago! around this time I was trying to get work with Marvel UK pencilling or inking, this must of helped as I did later get to do some assstant inking work on some of the Deaths Head spin off titles they were producing at the time, this sample pencil page was from a title called ''Knights of Pendragon'' and was drawn by John Royle who I have worked with on many occasions since then on Spider-Man and more recently on G.I.JOE for Panini(Marvel UK).
Page 3: One of my early sample pencil pages, which I sent onto Marvel USA, I think I remember I got a positive response from this, unfornately it did not lead on to any work, but when I think about how long ago I did this, it is not a bad page really, I should try to put some time aside and do some more.
Page 4: This was one of my favorite inking sample pages I did, not only was it my favorite character, that being Spider-Man, but it was drawn by friend of mine and amazing artist Dougie Braithwaite.
Out now at all good newsagents #3 of G.I.JOE.

Story: Ferg Handley. Pencils: Kev Hopgood. Colours: Hi Fi Design.
I started a new life drawing class about 3 weeks ago for the first time in a number of years, the drawings above are all the sketches from the class and are in numerical order.
Drawing 1: 15 minutes. This was allways going to be a bit difficult being the first drawing as it has been some time, but I felt I improved as the drawings progressed.
Drawings 2 & 3: 2 minutes. Enjoyed these felt I was loosening up a bit.
Drawings 4 & 5: 15 minutes each. This I found interesting and something I don't think I have done for a long time drawing with white chalk and charcoal on black paper.
Drawing 6: 30 minutes. Enjoyed drawing at this size which was A1, so just a section here from the drawing.
More drawings from class 2 in my next post!
