I’m going to start playing around with blacks in quick sketch form to see what I come up with in lighting. This sketch is rather mundane but that’s not a surprise as it will probably take me some time to get away from pure line art and start using heavy blacks to light a figure. I didn’t let this piece take longer than 30 minutes and even that is too slow, in my opinion. Next up maybe I’ll try a portrait with extreme lighting and hope my cheap-ass pens don’t give out on me halfway through the piece. By the way, this happens to be one of my favorite costumed characters, Moon Knight.
