first glimpse at my comic book hero

i've decided that my comic book will be drawn entirely in scratchboard. scratchoard is a thin board - really a very heavy paper - covered with a layer of chalk that is then painted over with a layer of black ink. the image is drawn upon the scratchboard by scratching away the ink layer with special knives. this is my first sketch of the hero character in this media. more images and details to come in the next couple of days.
