Superman Sketch

[Z-A-C]

Got a new tan sketchbook. So, as tradition dictates, Superman gets the first page.

Great George Reeves Superman!

[Reaganfan78]

Oh my goodness, that is one amazing art of George Reeves Superman!

[churchtalker]

great shading! I love the white highlights on the tan papeer

[NYJt3]

Wow that’s looks uper awesome™.

[Green.Lantern]

This is awesome! Maybe it’s just the coloring, but it seems like something you’d have on a plaque in a hall of fame. I like it a lot.

[Z-A-C]

Apparently Supes gets page 2 as well.

On to the third entry in my tan sketchbook. Another Superman. Christopher Reeve this time.

[Z-A-C]

And now, John Newton…not technically a Superman but still Clark Kent.

[CynicalPink]

Those are beautiful! What did you use? Pastel? Pencils?

[Z-A-C]

Yes. Pastel sketch pencils and regular graphite with a smudge stick. (Some say “blending stump”…but I say “smudge stick.”)

[Z-A-C]

Next up for Superman is Gerard Christopher. Again, technically a Superboy but still Clark Kent.

Potato, po-tah-to.

And these are all so beautiful! Reeve is generally my favorite Supes, but your latest is my favorite of this sketch project!

[Vroom]

I absolutely love all of these, @Z-A-C. They’re beautiful.

Props on the inclusion of the two TV Superboys as well.

[Z-A-C]

He’s become a bit controversial, but Dean Cain was the Superman of the 90’s. I’ve still got some good memories of “Lois and Clark.”

[Z-A-C]

Now for Tom Welling from Smallville. It’s weird to me when people don’t count him as a Superman actor.

[Z-A-C]

Went on a small side path with this Bob Holiday sketch. From the original cast of “It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s Superman.” Don’t think his hair was actually this crazy.

[Z-A-C]

And the 70’s tv version of “It’s a Bird, It’s a Plane, It’s Superman” David Wilson.

[Z-A-C]

Next Superman is another Superboy. Johnny Rockwell from the never picked up 1961 pilot.

[Z-A-C]

Next in my sketchbook is Ray Middleton from the 1940 Worlds Fair. I have never actually seen a good picture of him as Superman.
