Iron man! Iron man! Does whatever an...you know what, it doesn't work.

Art time! I promised Iron Man art, so damn it, I'm gonna deliver. Nothing slashy this time, just a practice sketch and a more detailed pencil drawing that took way longer than it should have.



First, my practice sketch (click to enlarge):


And a more realistic drawing (same):


Is it weird that I like the first drawing more? It's a kinda graceful little sketch. The second drawing, while more detailed, pretty much emphasizes everything I suck at when it comes to art. The background sucks, the line of sight is off, the character's position is awkward. It's an image cobbled together from several pictures, and it looks like it.

Still, it also looks like Robert Downey Jr, so not all bad.

Oh, and both of these were hand drawn in pencil, with a little charchol thrown in to darken areas of the second. Photoshop was used for resizing, brief clean up, and to compensate for my horrible scanner.

I suck at drawing people from pictures or anything, so I think these are amazing. I also love the first one. They are both really great.

I'm still not nearly where I want to be in figure drawing ability. Learning to draw people is a terribly tedius and frustrating process, often spanning years and years of hard work and cramped hands. Best to just skip it. :P
But, seriously, thank you. :)
