Description Spider-woman/Jessica Drew. Pencil on 11x16 Bristol paper.

I did this mainly as a study of form, using this excellent photograph ([link]) by *ABrito as reference as well as inspiration (you'll see what I mean).

however, i wanted the character in costume so I also tried here to render different fabric textures, and altered the lighting a bit.

in all this was a great learning exercise, and any advice and critique is, as always, appreciated.

This drawing is available for purchase. Please note me if you are interested.

That is just amazing. Neat overall design, and I really like how you did things like make the boot tops look so realistic.

thanks man. As I didn't have to work too much for the pose and anatomy etc (reference pic), I decided to really work on rendering the fabric of the costume, and material of the boots and gloves.

thanks! though I adjusted the pose a bit, the real credit goes to the photographer and model. but yes it is a different kind of pose for such a character and that's part of the reason I'm very proud of this one.

Thanks R. i wanted to capture the beauty and strength of a female superhero.. but not in a vulgar way.. and when I saw the reference photo I knew it was perfect for that.. REALLY glad you like it!

Wow!! Just Wow!
This is so very awesome mate. Really dig how you have captured the pose and it suits Ms Drew to a tee. The work on the costume is first class and as always I love the way you do your pencilling.
Instant for me.
