Man of the day :)

Good luck, Mister President :)

Perspective drawing

This is the first step for the drawing of the background to place behind the last week Spider-Man. A simple one-vanishing point perspective. The orthogonals determine the harmonious aligning of elements like buildings, windows, sidewalks, piers, and so on... Other elements like cars, water tower, and clouds will be added on the same basis later. The second step will be to "dress" the buildinds and to add details.

Voici la première étape de la construction du décor à placer derrière le Spider-Man de la semaine dernière. Une simple perspective à un point de fuite. Les lignes de fuite déterminent l'alignement harmonieux des éléments tels que les immeubles, les trottoirs, les quais, etc... D'autres éléments comme les voitures, le château d'eau, et les nuages seront ajoutés plus tard à partir de la même base. La deuxième étape consistera à "habiller" les immeubles et à rajouter des détails.

Background

This is my idea for the background.... I think it will be pretty cool when finished. I'll use model pictures for the urban landscape, especcially for the architecture.

To be continued. See you later Alligators ! :)

Black & White Spidey

Just a first version, will be corrected and colored next week, or the week after... Need to draw the background. Hope you like it :)

Web suit....

The most difficult part of the job, to me, is the drawing of the web suit. Well... I would say you got to make the weblines come with the body's motion.... yes... and to take the seams into account.... without too much cheating... you know what I mean, to cheat with the shadows... I have a big big admiration for the artists who draw Spider-Man every day, because when you really want to draw him seriously, you don't play my friend ! :) )

Yesterday night, I visited the page of a girl named Amber, who makes her own superheroes suits, in a very precise and serious way, I mean she has talent ! I wonder what she could think about the creation of a Spidey suit....

Spider-Man, Spider-Man...... :) )

This is a first sketch for a Spider-Man I've promised to a friend of mine's son. I scarcely draw Spideman who's the most difficult-to-draw comic book hero, according to me. You must pay attention to the attitude, which must be acrobatic, strong, and flexible at the same time ! An exaggerated motion can be a good thing too, if the whole remains harmonious !

A main point I'd like to insist on with my workshop pupils is to breack the articulations ! Here, to strengthen Spidey's motion, I've bend his right whrist and his left foot, opened his left hand in the same way he would have done if he wanted to grab something, and applied the basic rule of the 3 axes (eyes, torso, and hips) which are turned on 3 different directions (but not too much !!!). Same story for the head which goes forward to strengthen the attitude.
