Maccai3 Posted March 22, 2013 Share Posted March 22, 2013 First off, I want to let everyone know that I've read through the entire thread and admire everyone's work! One of the reasons I joined the boards was as a way to learn more about comics & their history because I teach art and I think that it would be well received amongst the junior high set. I want Mrs. Winter to be remembered as the coolest art teacher ever. Anyways, the reason I'm posting here is because I was commissioned to draw Storm. I have a fine arts background, done a little illustration, but have never attempted comics/heroes, so any advice would be greatly appreciated. Here's a quick sketch I started last night... Personally, I don't feel like she's dynamic enough... You can be brutal. I can take it. i don't feel the pose you did is wrong in any sense, they dont always have to be flying through the air shooting lightening out of their breasts, get some bright paint on it....like this to make it pop, that artist is named Jock Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I see where you may say it is lacking the dynamic feature, because superheroes tend to have those action poses, but Storm, to me, is an elegant and graceful character. She doesn't always need to be in a high action pose to get a sense of her movement. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Psithyrus Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 I just picked up some board to do some drawing. I'm looking to do a picture of my cattle dog and my brother's two huskies in We3 armor. Question. . . what do you recommend for inks if I want to end up doing some color on it? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Question. . . what do you recommend for inks if I want to end up doing some color on it? If anyone can answer. Sarfa who has been doing sketches in the modern sections art contests with me recommended the comic multiliners sp. Be sure to check ebay for those because they are cheaper than stores. The cool thing is that you can add new nibs to them and add in new ink (whatever that thing inside of a pen is called). Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hado Posted March 23, 2013 Share Posted March 23, 2013 Here's a quick sketch I started last night... Personally, I don't feel like she's dynamic enough... You can be brutal. I can take it. Remember that Storm's powers are linked to her emotions, so having her in a calm pose seems to fit the character better. Very cool. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

I was at the art shop where I get my acrylic paints this morning (they are cheaper than most to begin with, and then have so much stuff on sale). Picked up some Bristol Board, so I feel confident with the two sets that I looked at this morning being the two that have been mentioned in the last couple of pages of the thread.

MR SigS Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 You continue to impress with your skills What is the canvas size? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mio Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 These are on A4 (close to US letter sized) panels. I would like to do larger, but I don't have enough time to spare for a single painting. These go on ebay later if anyone wants them. And thanks! I'm happy with the progress I made since I started painting last March. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

CharlieWinter Posted March 24, 2013 Share Posted March 24, 2013 Mio, lovely work. I haven't done figure drawing since school. I am always tempted to go back to campus, as they offered a free figure study program on Friday mornings. I was always awful with oils though. I'll stick to pencil & ink!
