A Marvel-ous Avengers Week: Ironman

Tony Stark aka IRONMAN (as played excellently by Robert Downey Jr.). And so begins a Marvel-ous week for Avengers. Each day leading up to the Marvel Avengers Movie will feature a different character from the movie culminating in a 6 Person Group Caricature! There will be quick sketches and behind the scenes art from the making of the big Picture. I'll post the final May 4th. I plan on seeing the movie at 12:01am May 4th. I even took vacation days to be off work to see the first showing. Yes, consider me a Fanboy!(A trivial note: followers may remember I did the same thing leading up to a "Weird Al" concert a few years back.)

On the Drawing Table: April 17th

This color drawing was commissioned ahead of time and drawn in Studio 6F. It was presented to Mr. Brouse at the Jackson County Family Week Dinner on April 17th, 2012 to which he has been and enduring supporter. At the event, I also drew Caricatures from 5:30 to 8:30pm on location. Everyone was very pleased with their pictures. Props go out to Sara, a courageous talented teen who drew caricatures with me. It was her first time in the chair. I hope she continues to pursue her art. Above is the Black and White Version before colors. I use a 4b lead and a fat blending stump.
Here, Skin Color and hair has been added with airbrush. I use an Iawata Eclipse from my Six Flags days. This just goes to show how caring for your tools can yield continued use. The last picture I used airbrush on was for Dick Wilson's picture last year commissioned for the same event.
Finally, the finished version color complete. Diane Mack, my contact, at the event said they really liked it and his wife liked it so much she was going to hang it up in the house. Size 12 x16. Graphite & Airbrush.

Hunger Games: Katniss Everdeen

Jennifer Lawrence as Katniss Everdeen. The first book was great. Not in love with the movie.
