any Artist on hear ?

[cosmic-spider-man]

I had a little free time yesterday so I did a Superman sketch in pincel, and I always wanted to ink one like real comic book art so I did. Well I thought it looked pretty good so I thought I would post it and maybe get some opinions from the people who really love comics on wheather or not I suck, and if I do how I can get better and keep in mind this is my first work with ink.

 

I would also love to see any other board members art work so post them up.

Here's a previous thread....

 

OT- Any artists here? People that like to draw comics?

 

Enjoy.

[Red Hook]

Nice job!

[Norrin_Radd]

Nice job!

 

You're just saying that because it looks like you.

I'm a newbie, here.. But this Board seems much more like a "discussion" message board. I think you should try posting your artwork over at 'The Drawing Board'. They have a "Superheroes" section, where I'm sure you'd get good reactions & advice, on your artwork..

And if you still need some help with Drawing advice, etc. I'm a Moderator in the "Instruction" section. Feel to drop in & ask a few questions you may be having..

Hmm. The first thing most professional portfolio reviewers would ask is "How old are you?"

 

Your stuff's not bad. Not professional quality yet though, but depending on how hard you work and how old you are, anything's possible. Your work will only get better if you draw a lot consistently, however.. (and grow older/wiser/more experienced.) I haven't picked up a pencil in a while, but mentally, I think I'm a better artist now. Art is really about "seeing."

 

The Drawing Board site is a actually pretty good site for aspiring artists.

Thanks sckao could you give me some pointers , I pick my work apart myself with things like he is too Muscular, his legs are too short , his head is too big and I need to work more on faces. I am 39 years old and I really have not done much art in the last 20 years just the ocasional doodle with a pencil so I may be too old to learn anything new, but I don't think so. I will check that site out thanks .

 

I am working on a Captain Marvel if anyone wants to see it I will post it hear when I have it finished. I think it may be better than my Superman but I have not inked it yet .

The two big things that stand out to me are proportion and detail. You're proportions are waaay off -- face is too round, nose is too flat, and no one has calfs like that except for me. Also you're over-killed it on detail -- musculature (as you said) is too detailed -- you should let your shading do the definition for you. And that hair -- what's up with that -- no one draws every hair.

 

Anyway, nice attempt. My advice would be to practice, practice, practice. Also, go get a book on figure drawing and work your way through that.

Nice job!

Seriously. Doesn't anyone else see a resemblance?

It's like an episode of "Entourage".....

 

Big Calfs ROCK!!!

the resemblance is uncanny,I tell you...except for the Cro-Magnon lips on Supes.. Keep up the good work!

Thanks Stronguy you are right about all those things, I think so too except maybe the calf thing . Laying off all the muscle detail is a tough habit to break I used to as a kid like to see just how much muscle I could draw on my heroes allot of them would look like balloons I will work on that though on my next one unless I do the HULK .

 

Any way hear is my Captain Marvel keep in mind I did it before I read your post let me know what you think.

 

SHAZAM!

This thread got me thinking. I used to draw quite a bit when I was younger, so I pulled a used backing board out of the garbage and decided to knock out a sketch to see if I still had it. I was reading Batman 221, so I used the cover as reference and drew Bats on a gargoyle. It took about 20 minutes and I think it turned out ok. The proportions could use a bit of work, and I need to work on the anatomy in his bicep. Also the shading could be better. All in all though, it's not terrible for not having drawn in a few years.

Lets not get insulting

Kids better than Liefield.

At least superman does not have two left hands

[cosmic-spider-man]

Nice Batman october

[That Ron Dude]

It's hard to comment on the quality of a cartoonist by looking at two sketches. Having said that, the anatomy is kind of neat but the poses are kind of static. Avoid symmetry.
