Captain Marvel!

Taking the idea from a friend, who I hope updates her dream journal soon! I'm going to have some art entries as when I finish a project. Here's my first drawing (fully completed) that I've done in a year. *Put images in thumbnails to ease viewing*

1) First I sketched Captain Marvel. I did everything but his left leg, since I couldn't quite get the perspective point of view down.


2) Then I scanned that in and digitally added his left leg (flipped his other leg basically).


3) I then printed out the drawing (in a blue hue) and inked it. I realize I have a tendency for thick lines. I then scanned that in.


4) After being scanned, I then proceeded to color it up. I didn't quite know what to do with the eyes, since classic Cap was just small dots for eyes, and I'm not good at modern eyes, so I just added a bit of black at the last moment. I did some minor darker colors to give the aspect of shading, but it's only somewhat noticeable on the boots.


Captain Marvel!

Overall I thought I did a good job. The head came out a lot better than I had expected, but I wasn't too happy with the balled up fist. I couldn't find a good skin tone, so I probably should've blended a few and maybe I'll go back in and do that since I have each step saved. I plan to try my hand at drawing Billy Batson (Marvel's alter ego)next.
