Iron Man Update

I noticed some of my prints were looking a little old and could use a refresh. I tried to make the pose more dynamic, the proportions better, and the colors bolder.

Civil War

I've had the idea to incorporate some character quotes into drawings for a while, but it was an idea I left on the back burner. When I rewatched all of the MCU movies for BringOnUltron, I noticed there were a lot of great quotes that really captured the essence of the characters. This spring, with Civil War coming out, I figured it was time to finally put those designs together. I went with Dr. Erskine's quote from Captain America: The First Avenger to sum up Cap -- "Not a perfect soldier, but a good man" -- and Tony Stark's description of himself from Avengers -- "Genius, billionaire, playboy, philanthropist." There's a good chance I'll make more of these, so stay tuned!

I'll be making prints of these designs, but you can also grab them as t-shirts. Click here if you're Team Cap or here if you're Team Iron Man.

Avengers Assembled

My team of Avengers is finally assembled! This will be one of my new prints at conventions this year and you can buy it right now as a t-shirt for only $14 on my TeePublic shop!

I'll keep posting the individual characters and the design decisions that went into them, so go buy a shirt and check back for more updates.

Assembling - Iron Man

Iron Man is a great character, but not one I like to draw very often. I've never been comfortable drawing more mechanical characters like him, even with my more geometric style. I do really like the way this drawing came out, though. I took inspiration from a lot of his more recent armors, including ones from the movies.

Avengers

The Avengers are assembled! Be sure to grab one this weekend while they're still just $14!

Draw Every Day 221-230

This post covers a few drawings leading up to some character paintings (which I'll have to post soon). I also have a few 1980s characters and this series of Marvel Super Hero hands that I thought would make a cool poster. Follow me on Twitter and Instagram for daily updates @natexopher

Draw Every Day 211-220

Looking at the characters I had drawn so far this year, I noticed there was a lack of super villains. To try and fix that, I had Bad Guy week and asked for suggests on people's favorite baddies. This post also includes a little more Iron Man practice and my version of Snake Plissken from Escape from New York and Escape from Los Angeles.

Draw Every Day 121-130

Drawing female characters from so many teams and franchises made me think of some other characters I had never drawn. This really got me thinking about fun characters and I decided to do a little alphabet project. I started with "A is for America" and let people vote on what character I should draw next. B is for Black Widow. C is for Carnage. D is for Deathstroke. More of the alphabet coming soon. Follow me on Twitter and Instagram for daily updates @natexopher

MOVIE SKETCH - Avengers

I saw it opening night and it instantly became my new favorite super hero movie (also the best, in my opinion). Totally lived up to the hype. I reall can't say enough good things about this movie, so I won't try. Aboslutely loved it.

Avengers Assemble

I told you I'd have more Avengers. I tried to include both the movie team members and the cartoon team members so fans of either could enjoy. I went pretty traditional with everyone's costume - with a little of the modern and a little of the cartoon mixed in.

avengers: iron man

he hasn't really been a favorite in comics for a while, but he's still a hugely iconic character. iron man's first movie was great and janae even really liked it. i think that says a lot for a comic book movie when someone who doesn't really like comics or action movies still enjoys it. the second iron man movie wasn't as great, but you can tell it was just getting pulled in too many directions. i still liked iron man 2, but here's hoping his next two showings (avengers and iron man 3) will be better

thanks for looking!

the mighty avengers

Much like my other Marvel posts, this one came about because I either haven't drawn the heroes before or it has been a long time and my style has changed. Of these characters, I think I'd only drawn Captain America and maybe Iron Man and Hawkeye. I've just recently gotten in to Thor (who is awesome) and I'm not really a fan of Vision, AntMan or Wasp, but added them to help round out the team. I didn't want the Avengers to be a boys club, but I didn't want to add Wasp without AntMan.
It's funny how many odd things come up in different members of the Avengers. IronMan and Thor both have circular details on their costumes... Hawkeye and Cap both have buccaneer style boots... Cap and Thor both have wings on their heads... Vision and IronMan have similar shapes on their faces...
I don't understand it, but you've got to love these guys.
