Head Study: Iceman

Published:

Description

Here is another head study. I am trying to work on different things with these head studies, as I have said in the past. And one of the things that I wanted to get some time workin on is ice. Ice is an incredibly tricky texture to illustrate. I don't work in tones, which might be the way to go when it comes to drawing ice. I am a very linear artist, so the trick is to use lines to describe a texture that has no real lines. Its a bit tricky. Now there have been a lot of artists in the past who have developed their interpretations of ice. Some leave it much more open and rely on the colorist to do the lion's share of the ice work. I don't like the idea of going that route. My artwork is too involved to be leaving a character super super open like that. He would look too much like a white silhouette. And I use white silhouettes for a reason, so if I were to just throw in a white silhouetted figure, well he would look like he was glowing or something other than like he was made of ice. So the goal was to make ice. I think I got pretty darn close to happy when I put pen to paper for this exercise. Might not be the best Iceman out there, but I dig him. And I hope that you all do as well. Constructive C&C's are always welcome.

Marvel owns Iceman, not me. But that would be pretty cool. ( yeah I know... that was horrible. I am so ashamed. I am going to give myself the cold shoulder for a while. That ought to teach me... wait... I did it again... crap)
