@Jay_Kay Another dA refugee! Love the action in your pieces. That’s another thing I’ve gotta desperately work on. Most of the time I only do heads. :weary:

@chongoboy1014.74577 thanks to you and your bro for joining in, they’re both great! Big contrast, though - it looks like two opposite sides of his personality. The high-flying confident Dick, and then the one that always second guesses his own value. :sob:

@CynicalPink thank you! He was telling me he really wanted to showcase the shoes that Bruce sometimes leaves for Dick to feel and how Dick’s gotta feel with that

I was looking for some Dick fanart to post in this thread, and couldn’t find anything more recent than 2+ years old… I deemed this unacceptable and decided to dedicate my evening to drawing the man, myth, and legend himself.

@RedWing7 it looks great! I love the way the colors look! I’ve been trying to figure out how to better color my own pieces, any suggestions?

I use alcohol-based markers. There are some expensive ones out there but mine are actually just a cheap set that I ordered on Amazon. I’ve found with the markers that you really have to blend them when they’re still wet, which prevents streakiness. When I color I also go by color (I do all the blue first, then the warm tones for his face, then greys for his suit and hair.) In the end I also like to use a white gel pen to go over some highlights (this part is super fun.)

Other than markers I also like to use colored pencils. I’ve found that you can use a lot of the same techniques (blending, layering, ect) with both mediums. The only thing I don’t like about colored pencils is that sometimes my line-art can get lost underneath them. This can be fixed by redoing the lines, but it takes more time. I feel like colored pencils are really great for value transitions, but they can take more time.

I hope I helped! :grin: Just remember to draw as much as you can, and don’t be afraid to experiment with different mediums and techniques.
