One of the first times I was exposed to comics books was during the legendary Clairemont/Byrne Dark Phoenix Saga. So, now that I’m aping old comic book characters to get back into the feel of things, I thought a Dark Phoenix drawing would be appropriate. I don’t feel that it turned out quite as nicely as the Strange sketch but overall, I’m happy with it because it’s been a long time since I even tried drawing a woman in skin-tight clothing. My eraser received a workout as I kept narrowing the shoulders and widening the hips in an attempt to get the comic book-y proportions correct. I’m running out of classic characters I’m interested in drawing.
