Spiderman

After feeling happy and confident from my last piece of work, I decided that it was time to tackle something more challenging. I couldn’t decide what I wanted to do, or what the subject matter should be. In the end, I decided on Spiderman as he was one of my favourite characters when I was younger, and I used to read a lot of Spiderman comics. This particular sketch took me about three days to complete as I had to get the composition correct, and the angle of his hand was difficult to draw. This is the finished picture:

The original image this drawing was copied from was in colour and quite dark, which meant that I had to be extra careful when shading as I didn’t want it to come out dark and flat. The hand was the most difficult part to draw as I had to get the angle right. Looking at the finished article, I think the index finger may be slightly too low, and could have been a little bit higher. The angle and dimension of the head is the best part of this drawing, as I think the shading is much better than the rest of the figure. The shading on the body could be a lot better and more accurate, and to improve this, I think I would benefit from using paper stumps for the blending. This would be a good investment for future drawings, and I would be interested to see the comparisons between this sketch and future sketches.

I’m pleased with the end result, and it has turned out to be one of my best dawings so far. I think I have come a long way with my drawings, in such a short time. I can learn from each piece of completed work as there is always room for improvement, and I can channel what I have learnt into my next piece of work.
