Luke Cage Watercolor

I’m still testing out my new waterbrush, but this time instead of painting a castle, I painted Marvel’s Luke Cage aka Power Man (in his old costume of course).

I started with a pencil sketch.

Next, I inked the pencil sketch. I erased the pencil drawing too. Luke Cage doesn’t look as angry in the inked drawing as he did in the pencil drawing. That’s just poor inking on my part.

One thought on “Luke Cage Watercolor

  1. I enjoyed the Luke Cage sequences. The penciled, earlier sketches were excellent. Great coloring and use of shading.
