I haven’t been here in quite some time. I agree with Jerry, much more expressive features. If that was the intention, it is very good. If not than you’ll have to work some more. good luck.

Nice. What I first noticed about it is the work on the face. Much more detail and work than the other drawings you’ve posted.

I can understand the need for the sunglasses if heâ€™s as fast now as in the draft I read.

He has no need to protect his face, or any other part of his body, when he moves at super-speed. I can’t say any more without revealing something significant about the upcoming story.

Why does his jacket look like itâ€™s 2 sizes too small?

I was trying to draw his sleeves slightly rolled up, but I didn’t quite pull it off.

I like the sense of depth the picture has, particularly the hands. Hands are hard, and not many people get them right, I’ve found. The hands here aren’t just at the end of his arms. The clothing gives me story ideas. The only thing I might change is the throat/neck. I had the impression that Steve wasn’t particularly imposing physically, which to me suggests a thinner neck.

Welcome Back…
The drawing looks great!
However, you asked for critiques, so here is one from a seamstress…
Why does his jacket look like it’s 2 sizes too small? The cuffs should be at or beyond his wrist joint, otherwise when you raise your arms the sleeves pull back to your elbows. If it’s sylistic..ignore me…but as one who makes clothes, it just looks small.

Bill Mulligan and Jerry Chandler, thanks for the compliments although I’m not sure I see the Paul Smith or Steve Rude influence.

As for Paul Smith, I believe he’s still doing some work for Marvel here and there. I thought I saw something from him recently that was X-Men related. I tried Googling him but that wasn’t much help.

Allan, I was lucky enough to have received a copy of Figure Drawing for All It’s Worth as a gift back when it was still in print. I studied it as a kid but often got frustrated when I hit roadblocks, and gave up on it all too soon. I recently dusted it off and am using it as part of my learning process.

It amazes me that a book considered by many to be the gold standard of figure drawing was allowed to go out of print.
