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.....

I was thinking the same thing.


your = Belonging to you.
you're = Contraction meaning "You are."
Ur = The name of an ancient Mesopotamian city.
ur = This is not a word.

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!

Just a small update tonight. Perhaps more later if I can get the time. It's interesting to me to see the inks coming out on him. When I decided on the reference shot I was excited because of the high detail in the pic. I thought I would be adding all sorts of lines to the physique to express that detail. Strangely I am not. The additional lines don't seem needed really. I do plan on letting the colors carry a good bit of the details. I am learning so much with these. It used to be that I only really had great admiration for pencillers in comics. Now I have a whole new level of admiration and respect for inkers and colorists and how necessary they are to complete a well rounded image. Anyway.

Update!

Thanks for looking

Heyhey!

Sorry for the slow updates on this one but I was going really fast on the others anyway. Don't want to not have fun doing these (how's that for a double negative!).

Here's the latest!

Costume next! Thanks for looking.

PAHMP JOO AHP!

So here's the costume. Again I took a few liberties with his outfit. I know this isn't exactly how you made him Mr. A. Thing is, this is exactly what I see in my mind's eye everytime I think of Mr. Awesome. Is it ok with you if I go with this? I assure you that if you want me to stay totally true to his outfit it won't hurt my feelings a bit. Lemme know bro.

Actually the way you did the A is how I always dreamed it to look like. The cape is pretty much up in the air. Sometimes I like it to cover the shoulder but sometimes it's nice as just buckled on. Besides your doing this because you like my toon, there is no way im gonna tell you to change things.

But I do LOVE the way you did the A.
