Storm Sketch

in comics •  6 years ago 

Typically, around once a day, my iPad needs charging. This is due largely to my inability to remember to plug it in when I go to sleep. While annoying, as it always seems to happen when I’m in the middle of a solid creative flow, it does allow me to pick up my pencil and paper and get back to tactile sketching. Lately, I’ve been sketching out some Marvel characters. The other day, I decided on Storm.

The pencil sketch; I always dug the mohawk look for Storm. I decided to bring a bit of an 80s punk rock look to the rest of the design.

I kept the inking petty sparse on this piece. I like the mostly clean but slightly textured look for this, a bit like the Michael Turner style linework, or even a bit of Cappulo. I usually offer these sketches for sale at the pencil stage, given the potential buyer the choice to get it inked.

Once the drawing was delivered to the client, I decided to color the photo I took of the drawing, for an example of the commission options I’m offering. I tried to reinforce the 80s feel with the color scheme.

Your Storm is great :D. My favourite version is your pencil sketch, I think it manages to capture the softer emotion in her facial expression.

I love your Storm! You gave her perfect name. She storms in and gets your attention. Everyone's attention. She is a strong sexy woman with her own style and she doesn't care what people think about her. Great job!

Amazing work! Mohawk Storm is my favorite look too! I always hated the way Halle Berry portrayed her in the movies...so weak-willed, not the strong Weather Goddess that she actually is! I hope when the Fox/Disney deal is done they can have her and Blank Panther actually get together and she can become Queen of Wakanda :)

Love it, Adam :) Your Storm is such a strong, beautiful woman <3 Gorgeous sketch, love the lineart and the colours is wonderful, too <3 I love mohawk/side-shave Storm so much :D :D :D
