Description After 3 days of headache and experimenting, I finally got this one done. I thought since the Avengers came out that it would be nice to do a piece commemorating the release, and I'm sure that my drawing will just be one of many more to come. I was experimenting with Prismacolor markers combined with Prismacolore pencils. I'm not too pleased about the legs, but the hand and torso and head I'm pretty happy with.

Please, if you're well practiced in prismacolor markers and know how they work together, please critique! I would love to hear input on how I can make my marker pieces better. This was just an experiment, but I want to do more and improve. They're such fun to work with ^^

Supplies: Prismacolor markers
Prismacolor colored pencils
0.3/0.5/0.7 Tiggy mechanical drawing pencils (Old German made pencils that work REALLY well)
Koh-I-Noor White graphite pencil

Wow, this is Great! Well done! Since you ask for suggestions on how to better it, the only thing I see is that the light sources (chest and hand) don't appear very bright. Otherwise fantastic!!

Thank you!! I was trying to figure that out, actually, and I could never find a good way since I was using markers

I believe some of the people who commented below are right! If you would make a background, at best a quite dark bg, then it would appear much much brighter!

This piece has a lot of movement to it. The proportions look to be on track. With your chosen light source, I believe your highlights and shadows are well placed as well. Have you considered giving it a background? I am not someone who is experienced at working with Prismacolor pencils or markers, but it looks like your enthusiasm about working with them is paying off .

I didn't really want to do a background piece for this one. I wanted to just leave it as it was. But thank you!

I've seen the two Iron Man movies and I loved them. So this was in any case, a long time coming. I'm so glad they kept Robert Downey Jr. as Tony Stark and kept the Iron Man suit going.

Yeah, I only saw the second one and loved it. I'm also really glad they stuck with RDJ. Woulda been cool to have Edward Norton as the Hulk again, but the other guy was great as well!
