Better Spider-Man Drawings

 

 

Today I drew a lot of Spider-Man drawings. So in this post, I'm going to do something different where a few of the newer drawings come before the older ones, mostly because they look nicer. So in class this morning I was drawing Spider-Man just because I realized I hadn't really drawn much of him in a while. I was recently looking over some of my old sketches back when I had no idea how to do foreshortening, and it was very obvious. So I wanted to draw him more now that I'm much better. 

So in class, obviously I didn't have anything to go off of, but when I drew the pictures immediately above and below I used references. Strange, I know. Obviously it helped. I discovered most of Spider-Man's legs are blue, which is genius in a way. It makes his design a lot better and is much easier to draw.

I had a hard time deciding how to draw Peter. Originally he was bigger than this. I wanted his shirt to be loose enough that he could realistically hide his muscles underneath, but I still wanted him to look skinnier than he is.

So the drawings above and below were the ones I did in class this morning. Obviously, they have much better form than a lot of the Spider-Man drawings I've done in the past. They do, however, have patterned pants rather than the classic and simple blue from the actual design.

Poor Octavius looks terrible in this drawing. Still, it's better than some of the drawings I've done of him in the past. I like Spider-Man's expressiveness here.

I really wanted to draw Mary Jane. She's really fantastic in the comics I read as a kid. You can clearly see the inspiration from the Into the Spider-Verse design, which I think is a great design.
 

Overall, I like the picture above. I like the motion lines on Spidey and the idea behind the drawing. Somehow I managed to make both swinging drawings of Spider-Man have the wrong foot/arm correspondence, so they look awkward. The wrong leg is swinging forward in both of them. Ugh. It still looks pretty cool.

I was worried when I drew Black Cat that she would look to much like MJ, but as I was exploring her shape language, she just came together on her own. I'm actually really happy with this design. She really looks like she's up to something. I was going to draw another drawing of her and Spidey swinging through the city, but I wanted to make sure I had enough time to post this tonight. 

I realized halfway through drawing these that I should switch off of lined paper because I wasn't going off of references anymore. Also, apparently this is my 200th post? So that's fun. 

God bless everyone. Stay safe out there. I love you God. Thank you for everything. God's will be done for all of this. Amen.
