deannambrigman redraw of Spider-Woman

eschergirls:

Wow… the villains blew her up, stitched her back together and dropped her from a plane to send the Avengers a message. They aren’t f-ing around.

(That picture is the epitome of what I hate about this art. It’s just “get a butt in there” “get a boob with a nipple in there” and who cares about the rest?)

I decided that as an effort to get better as an artist I would give my self little challenges. So I decided that I would practice by correcting some of the artwork on the great tumblr: http://eschergirls.tumblr.com/

I clicked on the random post button and this image of Spider-Woman came up. I can certainly say that this one has been a challenge.

I started by trying to rough in Spider-Woman’s anatomy. And I can say that this artist definitely picked a very difficult pose to try to convey. You can see where I have roughed in the volumes that this drawing had several anomalies. Her right arm didn’t appear to have a bicep portion and her legs didn’t really match up with her torso. Also her dangling breast really seemed out of place.

I went through several sketches before getting to this pose. I tried to match up her leg placements and I realized that the original torso did not match up with the rest of the body so I had to draw it in differently. I also moved both of her arms so they seemed to fit on her body a bit better. I felt that you would not be able to see her breasts from this position so I did not try to fit them in.

I think it is more accurate than the original pose but I am still not 100 percent confident with the results. I can say this pose was a bit frustrating to depict and respect the original artist for even attempting it.
