MutantCircus Art Thread

[MutantCircus]

I'd posted a thread called "when i'm bored..." that featured a couple of my sketches I drew while at work, but since I'm going to post regularly (and because that title sucks) I'm going to start anew. This is what I do while I'm working my mindless desk job. My right hand works a telephone while my left hand doodles pics of various things. Usually I draw Marvel characters, and most of the time it's Spidey (or venom) so here goes. Feel free to post colorings or any other manips you may try.

And here's a new (and so far unfinished) pic of Spider-Man himself:

I plan on finishing the background and possibly coloring it in. Depends on how much I like it when it's finished.

And remember, criticizing is fine, but be kind, I'm a beginner.

How old are you?

Good job with using a vanishing point in the last pic.

 

[Démon]

Pretty good for a beginner. Just keep practicing, and you improve pretty fast.

I'm 19. I've always loved to sketch, but I never eally did it much until I found myself with hours to burn at my desk.

And thanks, I'd attempted buildings without a vanishing point, but it never looked right.

here's what i got done today:

 

[The Kryptonian]

Pretty good duder. I love the Venom pic. His head is perfect. Good work.

 

[MutantCircus]

thanks. i bought the 18" spidey action figure to help me out on drawing spidey (i hard a hard time thinking of spider-like poses and i usually screw up on the suit's webbing, like in the above pic). so hopefully that'll help me.

more progress (still not finished):

and a new pic i've started:

working on that. since this is my spare-time while working work, i don't have anything to compare, and i'm just working off memory of comic books and such. trust me, i've already changed a lot from what is posted, so it's going to look a lot better once it's inked.

today's update:

 

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

i think thats good

 

[MutantCircus]

almost done:

all i need to do is finish coloring it and make venom a little darker.

 

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

those are great keep them coming

 

[MutantCircus]

will do. i went to see Spider-Man 2 on IMAX today so I haven't gotten much done, but I'll have some progress by Monday.

 

[MutantCircus]

I'm still working on the Venom pic, not enough progress to post, but rather than finishing Spidey's swinging picture, I decided to restart it, with a better pose and a better location for the vanishing point. It was a busy day at work, so I hardly got anything done, but here's the new Spidey:

 

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

nice pose

 

[Thundahjack]

man, those are good!

 

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

i plan to, soon. i also plan on doing one of hobgoblin vs. spidey, so keep on checking here. i couldn't get much work done today because my supervisor's boss (who is really strict about how we spend our work time) was around all day. i made a couple idle sketches but nothing worthy of posting. i'll get more work done tomorrow, and i've finally finished the coloring on that venom vs. spidey pic, so i'll probabyl post the finished product later tonight.

btw, if anyone with photoshop skills would like to try coloring one of these, feel free. all i have to color is colored pencils.

 

[#7CaRnAgE#7]

cool looking forward to them

 

[MutantCircus]

as promised:

best coloring job i can do with colored pencils...

You initially said you do this left handed. You are ambidextrous I take it. That is very cool to be able to do stuff and be creative with both hands. Are these later pics with Venom and Spidey with your left hand also? Anyway nice work.

i am indeed ambidextrous, i do all pencil workwith my left hand. my right hand prefers to do things that involve more strength than skill, like sports and such. what was the clue that helped you figure this out?

 

[MutantCircus]

anyway, more progress:
