Hi Everyone,

Nice work John. Thats some silky smooth linework and hatching. Would you mind me asking what kindof pencil you use?

Ask away! I love talking gear.

I mostly use either a Staedtler 980 lead holder and/or a Staedtler 925 0.5mm mechanical pencil.

Aside from traditional super heroes, I love drawing GI Joe.

Are you doing it all, including the coloring?

There's some good variety here. Spiderman looks lithe and limber. Thor looks stern. That's a damned fine Daredevil. I'm not a He-Man fan, but I like your rendering of him. Other than lips and nose, I like Lady Jaye, particularly her poses. Not a fan of the background for Cobra Commander, but the blue coloring pops. That's nice.

Yep, one stop shop. Pencils, inks, and colors. Thanks for the feedback!

Both of these pieces are digital colors over finished pencils.
