ArtExplosion #20: Power
With great power comes great responsibility... - uncle Ben (Spider-Man)
Having such great power, you hold the world in your hand. Taking care of it, protecting it and safeguarding it from anything or anyone that may harm its people.
Just like superheroes and gods in movies. They have a sense of duty to protect the weak and help the powerless.
I used Faber-Castell 6B pencil, Pilot G-tec-C4, and Uni-Ball Fine Pen
I had to constantly stare at the mirror while drawing this :p ... Nah, in my dreams.
At first, i'm actually picturing Atlas as my subject but, although he's strong and powerful, carrying the world was actually his punishment. So the person in the drawing is a representation of someone with power.
This was supposedly my entry idea on topkpop's contest, with "Power" being the theme, but I was not able to finish it on time.
Starting with draft and outlines
I got the picture but somehow putting it in lines and curves was kind of difficult because I'm used to drawing a person in plain shirt & shorts.
By the way, I usually stay at my room when I draw but this time I wanted a change of scenery. So I went outside and found a good spot. Cold tho.
Redrawn it with pen after finishing the outline of the idea
Some more outlining
Shading with pen
Actually I'm just covering some mistakes so i had to darken certain areas. Haha.
