So, I wanted to draw this "Spider-man" person that all the kids are talking about...

I'm struggling with his hand because it's going to be very foreshortened and in his web-slinging pose, it's pretty hard to nail, I may have to go and get a reference.

Anyway, I's like to know if it looks ok so far, not sure about the left leg. I thought it looked fine but after staring at it for ages and ages it's beginning to look wrong.. his knee or something, did I make it too pointy?

I'm gonna colour him black! wink

(The movie was hilarious, not all of the humour intentional, but I enjoyed it because venom is THE SHIZ.)

:EDIT:

Just quickly, an idea for the bg. I think the context helps...

Something about the foot on the right (our right) is bothering me. It's something to do with the shape of the knee and the lack of definition between the knee and the calf (right now it just looks like one big mass of flesh).

To get that arm to look a bit more fore-shortened, I'd suggest making the arm shorter. Right now it just looks like a long arm and a little hand. Try to aim for a thicker arm and small hand instead...if you get what I mean.

Can't wait to see it finished! biggrin

I think I know what I need to do with the arm, do you mean the left leg though? The right leg is out of sight. question

I'll take it you do mean that and I'll agree that the knee isn't really all that knee-shaped. I'll have to fiddle with it for a bit, see if I can get it to look right.
(as you can imagine, not an easy pose to find a reference for!)

Changed the knee, hand and added a left hand. It looks wierd because I resized it, I think I've got it right. whee

Not sure about the right arm still. I shortened it and made the hand smaller and the shoulder bigger. I don't think it worked though..

I'm just doing a little bit now and then because, like the thread suggests, I'm in the middle of exams. Fun. rolleyes

I think that the biggest problem facing this image is that his motion is unclear.

His torso has an obvious twist in one direction, but his arms don't agree. Like why would he twist his torso around that hard if the thing he is looking and pointing at is directly in front of him?

Yeah, I see what you're saying, the swing isn't really defined. What I was going for was the huge amount of power he got from that black suit. I liked the way the movie had him throwing himself in the air, right up there, before he sent out another web.

So I thought he could be pushing himself upwards arse first, sort of like a pole jumper I suppose, although it's only just occured to me how similar the pose is...

Do you reckon the chest should be turned more toward the back arm? I went and pretended I was spiderman lieing on my bed and that seems more natural.

I'm tired of having half-baked pictures in my DA gallery, I want this one to be done properly so I can be proud of it.
