Batman

Batman is copyright (c) DC.

Step 1: Make a new layer and Sketch

Step 2: Lay down flats/colors on a separate layer underneath the sketch layer. (I tend to paint in my highlights and shadows with the brush set to overlay at this point)

Step 3: I tend to merge the sketch and color layer. Start painting broad strokes and then smaller more refined strokes.

Step 4: Refine details and color correct.

San Diego Comic Con 2011

Back from Comic Con. Great time was had. Got a lot of Freebies, at least 10 t-shirts.

Also got to see a lot of art buddies in Small Press, Artist Alley, and cosplaying. Alright can't wait for next year!
