Another WIP

Hi Forum goers!

I'm gonna give it another go

Every artist has strong areas. The really good artists have no areas that are weak. I have tons of weak areas . Legs, hands, faces,anatomy in general,females...yes females are a weakness for me. Kryptonite I tell ya!

The drawings I have been doing have really forced me to work on my weak spots. Unless of course you want a completely disembodied torso without a head I pretty much have to hehe.

Which brings me to my next attempt. I really wanted to do something that was easy and played to what I think are my stronger areas. I like to start off with some kind of refernce as it's kind of tough for me to create dynamic looking poses from scratch, so off I went to buy the latest issue of Flex Magazine. Great place to get detailed heroic anatomy for sure. Then it was just left to decide who to draw and what pose to use.

I searched and searched and, while I found many amazing shots, nothing really leapt off the page at me to say "This is IT!".

Then as I neared the back of the issue, INSPIRATION!


Now if I could only remember who this reminds me of.....

Here's the

start.

Mr. Awesome?

That grin made me think the exact same thing!

I think Mr. Awesome has a smaller physique.. I'm thinking Comrade Hero..

*smiles*

I was thinking the same thing.

OK this doesn't look like much of an update but I am posting because I want your feedback please.

It's VERY important to me to get the face on this correct. This character is well known for his shining smile. Like I said faces are tough for me but this is finally coming together. it's not right though. He needs to look genuinely thrilled. When I first started he looked completely unhinged. Joker couldn't look this bonkers. He's improved now but I still kinda think he might try to bite you at a barbeque.

Any and I'll critcisms appreciated. It is OK if he looks a bit overzealous. I just don't want him scaring children.



Update

I like the wrinkles around his eyes and the one in his forehead, a nice touch. And I don't think his smile is will scare away small children!

Thanks Larissa

A few tweaks and I think I'll call this good for the head.

Smiley!
