I love Simon Bisley's work, huge fan of his over-the-top style in early '90s Lobo comics. I have found that a great way to learn the subtleties of a particular artist is to take a piece of his work and recreate it. I used an ipad with a decent resolution image of that particular comic book page and just eye-balled it, basically, blowing it up on an 11x17in page. All my tools are in that photo, Microns, Tombos, a budget Dollar Store fat marker, etc. I was drawing this slowly and methodically, totally unlike Bisley's (probably) drunken chaotic fugue state. Got a lot of value here, especially from the chaotic inking line work... like how to make a mess and still make it look good. However, the biggest lesson I learned from this exercise is... OMG do I hate drawing chains!! (Funny cuz my previous study was a Todd McFarlane cover of Spider-Man with a lot of his spaghetti webbing... and man, it was grueling to draw that too, but I actually kinda fun as well) So yeah, I won't be creating any of my characters with chains! No way man. (btw, the original artwork has Lobo with 1 leg too, I was tempted to fix this but I though it'd be fun to leave that in)
