Description Some of you may have seen the Batman doodle I did at work and uploaded here a little while ago (which will be moved to my scraps pretty soon).

Well after that I decided I wanted to try my hand at doing a proper Batman picture, and here be the pencil version of said picture.

I tend to smudge my pencil work a fair bit when I am working on it so this probably looks a bit dirty but I'll clean it up as I go along

When I thought of doing Batman I instantly thought of Jim Lee's work on the Hush story line... so that is basically what I tried to replicate here.

That man is an absolute gun and if I ever got the choice of superpowers mine would be to be able to draw like Jim Lee.

I have also noticed this is probably the first picture in my Gallery since my Spawn picture ([link] ) that I have actually decided to draw in a background... which is pretty sad since I originally drew Spawn when I was about 15
How lazy am I??

Anyway, this is still a work in progress, I plan to ink and colour this picture and I'll be sure to share the results.

For those that are interested, this was done in my A3 sketch pad with HB, 4B & 6B pencils

I hope you guys like it!!

Wow, I love all the little details in this, from the lght reflections to the detail on the buildings, amazing work. Oh and if you use baking paper under your hand while you work it keeps your paper nice and clean.

Thank you so much I really appreciate your feedback.

And cheers for the baking paper tip, I will definitely try this since I smudge my pencil work all the time

i dont know if i'm being a bit bold saying this but when you ink this and come up with a backround for it, I think you should sell it as a print

StingRoll In reply to Medeba47 [2010-10-13 00:47:33 +0000 UTC]

You are more than welcome to be as bold you you like with me Mede-Chan.

I do like your idea, I think it may be a bit wrong for me to do that though as I pinched the idea from well known comic artist Jim Lee.

Maybe next time when I do something a bit more original??

Yup. People have basically said everything I could say about it. Can't wait to see it inked! (Batman's arms can never be too thick )

Looks very good. I'm sure inks and colors are going to really make it stand out.

StingRoll In reply to battlereaper [2010-10-10 01:12:00 +0000 UTC]

I'm hoping so... I think putting the inks in will make a fair difference and I'm hoping I can have most of that done before the weekend is over

Thank you!

Great work!
Can't wait to see it inked and colored
Also I really like the way you did the background, it seems pretty detailed but doesn't overtake the rest of the picture at all.

Don't feel bad, I'm lazy too, the closest thing to drawing a background I've done recently is putting a random flower or coloring it black.

StingRoll In reply to VictoriaGayle [2010-10-08 23:06:06 +0000 UTC]

Thanks, I really appreciate it

Yeah I figured it was about time that I actually drew a full picture instead of leaving the background until it's an after thought!

You have to be careful with them, if they get angry they can balance on their tails and kick you with their feet... I once had a Joey try and bite my... well, my crotch
