It wouldn't have anything to do with the gender of the subject, would it? LOL. I've done tons of figure studies and portraits of women, but I never practiced the comic book shorthand version. Now I'm hooked.

Excellent illo Marc. Watch-out for areads of thick black as the
-attract- the eye, in most instances. Here you have some really thick
lines on the cape (camera right) and it takes the eye away from the
figure.
If that black area is shadow, dude, "Let go!" Don't hold back! I think
it was Kevin Nowlan whom said that one of the best bits of advice he
received was that he should be afraid to cove beautiful artwork with
solid black! We've all done it. Laid out a great sketch and started to
plan out the shadows...but wait!, what's this? Some of the best lines
are covered by the shadows. Then we've sort of either -not-bothered
with the shadows or "cheated". Why? We'll always get another
oppertunity to draw a good drawing but we'll never get the opportunity
to get that one drawing right!
Take it, grasp with both hands and you go for it bud, go for it! When
you're done your next piece you yell out to the rafters, "Here it is,
the best piece Marc Thompson has ever produced!" Of course the next one
will be better and you'll shout the same thing again.
Goes for everyone...you are all very talented, have a little more
trust, faith and pride. Knock the worlds socks off...you'll only get
the one chance...granted with each illo but still;-)
-Darren

Thanks for the crit, Darren. You have sharp eyes. The cape area was originally supposed to be a thin line that got a bit wobbly. Rather that pull out the white-out, I went the easy way.
You make an interesting point about going for it when spotting blacks. Do you have some examples of this?
As for a drawing that is the best I have done, Unlike JB, I really did peak 20 years ago. That was when I gave up art for the wonderful world of teaching. It is only in the last few years that I have picked up a pencil again, and I think I've spent more time drawing over the recent holidays than in the last five years. I just finally broke through the frustration of trying to round into form.(But I'm sure the next one will be the best I've ever done today!:^)

I use just about everything lol
The pieces I've been showing recently are castilene. It is a wax/clay hybrid with properties of both.
When it is warm you work it like clay and as it cools it behaves like wax and can be sanded or carved and polished. I use a wax pen on it and an alcohol torch.
