More Iron Man sketchings

May 22nd, 2008

I was doing some more experimental sketching with Iron Man (old school Iron Man) and couldn’t resist adding a bit of colour to the drawing above as I liked how it came out and it was rewarding that it was only a five minute quick sketch using that giant pencil (that I love!).

I started off really focusing on the arm and hand because that’s going to be the main focus of the piece and I kind of like this arm though it needs some more refining.   Maybe another angle as it does look like he’s holding it awkwardly.

After throwing the arm down on paper I thought I’d play around with 60s Iron Man (think early Avengers).   The first I really only like the eyes and I’ve slightly altered the image on the computer just to bring it into line dimensionally.   But as I said I only like the eyes in this one.

This is of course the bare sketch with no photoshop colour.

I can’t wait to move so I can unpack all my paints and do a huge canvas painting of early Iron Man.

Iron Man concept sketch

May 20th, 2008

This is a rough sketch that is serving as the first in a bunch of preliminary drawings leading up to an inked poster and a painting that I may or may not sell.

The hand won’t be closed in the final piece but I’m just trying out some stuff, this was done with the giant pencil Tracey got me for my birthday.   I wanted heavy lines and a heavy feel to it all.
