Description Dark Avengers is my favorite title right now. Decided to do some sketches of the DA characters to have for sale at SDCC. These are 11X14 in black watercolor and pencil.

Great shading indeed and contrast between the white and black. It really brings shape and life into the character.

I would say the reality is due to the fact that I base my artwork on photos I take more than my expertise on anatomy. Though I do have considerable knowledge in anatomy.

These look great Mike! Simple images like this can be so powerful. Sometimes nicer to look at than a detailed page or cover.
