Ironmen and Ironwomen

I wanted to get in to markers, but didn't really know where to start. The Iron Man drawings are with either sharpies (black and white) or Tul markers. They aren't very good markers and I really didn't understand that.

The final image was done with a full set of grey tone markers and despite being a copy of someone else's work, I am rather proud of the results.

#TBT Iron Man and Markers

Iron Man is an old favorite.

I am using different papers to get the hang of new markers. Markers are not something I am very good with, especially color. All Black Iron Man went wrong with the hands and feet. Color Iron Man went wrong with the colors. I meant to match the colors to the classic Iron Man from issue #69. It didn’t work.

I am going cut down some marker paper and scan All Black Iron Man so I can practice colors. Over, and over, and over again.

I also obtained an old book from The ROM featuring medieval armor, so I can practice those armored hands and feet.

Markers

This morning, I passed the time with some sketches using Tul Markers.

These markers are labeled “fine” but I find them a little fat. That is ok, this is my first attempt with using markers.

For my first subject, I picked a jaguar like creature from the zoo. All and all, I was pretty happy with the results.
