Classic Superman

This is a Master study I did of one of my favorite Superman Artists of all time Kurt Swan. This drawing comes out of a 1983 Golden Book Titled; "How To Draw Superheroes." My teacher Josef Rubinstein told me about this book and suggested I draw every illustration in the book so here it goes...

This first drawing is a Master Study I did of Kurt Swan's Laying. I think being able to see Swan's mannequin is one of the most helpful and interesting aspects of this how to draw book. The grey shadow pattern is not apart of Swan's original drawing and is something I did to establish a light source on the figure for when I color it.

This is the final Completed illustration. I added all the color to make things fun and work on my skills as a colorist.
