Batman, Drawing | Painting | Digital
I started watching Batman on TV in the 1970’s with Adam West. It was a staple of my childhood.
Whenever I had a chance in art school, I would do a comic book piece. I would squeeze them into assignments whenever possible.
Sometimes, I would hire a model then turn him into Batman.

The method was to use a glaze of transparent color and liquin.
And I would also use them as a subject to do demos for my students when I became a teacher.
These demos were done in class.
I’d start them off with line and value. Drawing from my head, blending with turpenoid and erasing with a kneaded eraser.
Then I’d apply colored pencils to a copy and add a solvent like turpenoid.
Then I’d scan the colored pencil drawing and adjust it even further in Photoshop. Here, I made it darker and pumped up the saturation.

One of my favorite things about a teaching job is the free paper and drawing materials.
Now that I have discovered https://steemit.com/trending/trialbycomics I can start posting my comic art here.
Thanks everyone,

The hashtag #TrialByComics is used for a competition that goes on weekly or bi-weekly by the user @kommienezuspadt
You can read more about the current competition going on in this post https://steemit.com/trialbycomics/@kommienezuspadt/trial-by-comics-winners-for-colors-and-new-theme-announced
I would highly suggest taking off the "trialbycomics" tag on this post and instead put in #Comics and also add #Batman
Great art, I love a darker looking Batman. Hope you compete in the #TrialByComics!
Thanks, for the suggestion. I'm still trying to figure out where I should post stuff. I can't seem to remove #trialbycomics though.
Oh yeah, I forgot that you can't change the first tag. Oh well, still great art. You can have up to five tags so you can still have #Art #Drawing #Creativity etc. You can see tag stats on this page https://steemit.com/tags if you ever get curious.
