Another pencil practice piece before bedtime.

Same rough sketch underneath. Slightly different results since I wasnt inking a finished piece, the pencil gives me more freedom to experiment.

This is using the Procreate pencil to see if the results were decent. I ended up really liking this. I was using the HB Pencil and it was good but I think I found my new fav.

I prefer Procreate to Sketchbook in IOS but the pencil was giving me better results on Sketchbook.

Now I think im good to go and can stick to Procreate. :)

Ok, made ya look.

Still its a head piece of ol' Bats. Hope you like.

The idea may be interesting,

served up on Jokers dinning room table in a darkened room for all to witness, Riddler, Penguin and Bane.

Maybe having a Zombie Alfred serving it up on that silver platter. A bit gruesome but very Bernie Wrightson styled piece. ;p

At least for now old Bat head will keep his noggin' on....

Digital pencils.

iPad Pro on Sketchbook Pro.

I use Procreate but Sketchbook on the iPad gives me the best pencils in my opinion even though Procreate is my new favorite app to use.

This was a bed time quick sketch just to get that old pencil feel. Very enjoyable and no smudges. :)

Greatly appreciate the bump and sentiment! :)

As long as you can see it for yourself you are doing well. Mirror your drawing and you may actually catch the issue better. Just keep that in mind going on to the next piece.

The 2 things I noticed in the 3 drawings I have seen so far from you, is the eyes are a bit small, do not need to make them that much larger its just a balancing adjustment and the other is one eye tends to be a bit higher than the other.

I used to do that and at times and if I dont catch it, I still do.

Shoulders were another issue that was a pain in the butt for me to get right but for the most part that seems to be ok now.

@yolo2546:

Good work.

One thing I noticed is, the eye on the right side needs to go up a bit closer to the eyebrow, see the one one the left, his right for reference.

You are close on the one eye spacing between the eyes but they may just need to be enlarged a bit for a better balance with the facial features and size but overall good effort, keep it up!

I will let you know if I do.

I dont have the time at the moment and not sure going forward. I mean, I can get it going but dont have the time to participate like before. Working on a project presently.

It would be great if you did jump in , we rarely got many to test their skills and even less at the moment. I can attempt to bring it back every once in a while.

Its a great idea for artists wanting to expand to more than doing a splash page but we are really down to 2 or 3 at any given time joining in at the moment, thats why theres only one contest spotlighted at the moment. If we can get more participants I will start it back up.... I dont know if you know others that may join in, if you do, ask to see if they care to participate...

BTW, we used to find 1-3 images online as an example to inspire other creative types to join in the theme being chosen. I tried not make it too difficult so if we chose a character that was popular more artists would try and post their interpretation of that particular one being highlighted. Let me know what your thoughts are beyond this.

@knotty:
