I’m a bit of a self-proclaimed artist, if I do say so myself. I prefer to work with normal pencil (ranging in types, but mainly HB), but I do sometimes branch out with other methods, mainly colour related. I’ll use this thread to post some of my work, and I don’t see anything better to start with than this:



This is how I always envisioned “The Blur” looking. This was before I even had a name for him, back when I designed and drew the uniform just because it was a project I thought would be interesting to take up. The design is heavily taken from the Flash’s uniform, though with some modifications – of course. As you can tell I colour like a 5 year old lol and as much as I try to simply shade-in rather than use colour, this time it wasn’t something that I could avoid – every hero uniform needs colour! Unfortunately some of the finer details, a part which I really enjoy, aren't that visible because of the colour. I've been meaning to go over the detail with a fine-point pen, but have never got round to doing it.

looks good.

It look better then good it looks kick ass

Blur, it looks to me that you have a better than average understanding of dynamic anatomy and a good sense of proportion and perspective (i.e. the rear-facing arm). Have you read Byrne Hogarth's books? HB lead makes a good line, for sure, but I tend to go with blue-line. Less erasing. If you want my unsolicited advice, I would suggest that you try varying your line thickness to give your figure more volume and enhancing the activity of his movement. You might also experiment more with foreshortening and try rotating the character so that he doesn't face the viewer directly. An angle that looks like he's running about 3/4 from perpendicular to our view is just about awesome. Other than that, it really is easy to see where your detail work is, and the coloring is pretty good, too, just lacking the proper material to make it look the way you'd like. But the tones are even and you haven't left much as far as blank spaces. It also seems you have a knack for drawing hands, which most professional comic artists will tell you they despise. I'd have to hail it a success. Awesomely done!

Lot of artists on this site.

Very well done, Blur. Can't wait to see it become a reality.

Looks good. If you ever have some free time, I'd love to see what a drawing of me or other RLSH would look like.

That's really cool. You have some real talent there.
