The Small Press Virgin

Spider-Boy (Colouring attempted too!!!)

A little something I'm putting together for this month's Superhero Jam:

The Awesome Arach-Kid from Amalgam Comics, Spider-Boy!!!

(This was only the third re-draw of the pic, must be improving!!)

So, below is the pencil drawing, which was scanned as is into Photoshop and then flat colours added to bring it out a bit. Next I plan to move onto highlights/gradients etc before posting it in the Jam thread

I know next to nothing about colour theory and related topics, so I'm flying by the seat of my pants on this...fingers crossed it turns out ok. :-)

I like the jacket - you could color the flaps on the jacket black, since right now they're kind of getting lost in the red webs.

Another thing is that the bright yellow on his legs and boots draw attention down there, away from his top half and face. I don't know exactly how you'd fix that - you could use a dark red instead, or tone the yellow straps down to a kind of brownish-yellow.

Damn, I would wear a jacket like that.
