I've been pretty pleased with the last 2. The backgrounds are generally wonky because I just roughed them in. Time is still an opponent here. As the figures get done more quickly, hopefully backgrounds will get tighter and the figures slightly more detailed and inked at times. It's imperative for me to find a balance. Too little detail looks flat to much looks too Image.
Hi everyone! I'm Spider-Man. Later.
This one is kind of funny. I was cleaning off my desk, throwing away papers, abandoned ideas and deformed Spider-Man attempts. I looked through them and this was the one that was most finished, but it wasn't very good. So I thought it might be a slight twist here if I tried to fix up a shunned one today. I took what was working in the body and made revisions what wasn't. I stopped at the lags and let them hang.
I am trying to stop drinking caffeine and boy is it messing me up. Spider-Man swinging right back into a groove. See you tomorrow.
This miserable bastard makes me think it might be day 1 again. Please look away
Another 2 minute masterpiece. Like I said, just crank em' out and catch up.
This one's not too bad. I did it in a couple minutes at my desk.
So begins the stretch of metaphoric road I shall refer to as crap mile. Crap mile as it's know is a place not uncommon with lateness and lack of ideas. Let me translate. I'm behind. Super behind, so this batch and the next will be pretty bad because at I this point I just need to get caught up again, then I can expend more effort. I didn't have any ideas for this, it's my first Black Spidey. I wanted to draw him like a blob the way overlaps, tangents and foreshortening sometimes make black Spidey look blobby. I failed. Thanks for looking.
I kind of dig this guy. I wish I did a background, but maybe I'll revisit it later. Sometimes when his arm twists, I stare at the paper thinking: "How the heck does the red and blue move around his arm." I think I already said this about something else, but the arm twists are easily the most difficult part of drawing Spider-Man's costume. So, if I did say that in an earlier post, I've changed my mind. The webbing seemed tricky at first, but once I developed a pattern it became pretty simple. It tends for me to be the most enjoyable part because that's when the figure really becomes Spider-Man. Up until now the drawings have all been pretty sketchy, so I've been phoning the webbing in. As I move to complete more finished Spider-Men, I have to make sure I do a better job with the lines and spacing.
A swinging pose. Stiff, but stiff on purpose. I was kind of thinking of how Spidey lands in the movies. That lower foot is kind of reaching out for the ground.
I was going to cheat and make this Daredevil, but I opted to not go there yet. Anatomy is getting there. Going to have to work on fluidity more.
I found this neat marker at work. So I did a Spidey with it. A quick minute or two drawing.
This is post one of super, super, duper catch-up time. I'll scan and post the first half tonight and the second tomorrow or Wednesday. This is a quickie.
