SuperGirls #1, pt.2

Day 2, back in photoshop. Lost some of her cartoony spunk and expression, but I'm going to keep going just to have fun and see what comes out of it.

SuperGirls #1

Back in my middle school years, my parents used to go to a lot of Taiwanese Association dinner parties. All of the kids would hang out while the parents were doing their thing. Most of the them would hang out in the den watching movies. As often as I could, I remember ditching the other girls and running upstairs to shut myself in with the high school boys (so cool.) These sweet guys were nerdy before it was cool. They were awesome enough to introduce me to inking, lend me some of their pricey prismacolor pencils, and let me rifle through their Jim Lee comics (oh so many trenchcoats!) They did a lot to encourage me through those years, and I really looked up to them.

Only one of those guys is still actively drawing (http://daystorm.deviantart.com/) but they are the inspiration behind my new sketchdump series of SuperGirls. Only this first one is literally Super Girl. The goal here is to get in the habit of posting again, doing thumbnails and rough poses. I'll post the one I like best out of each exercise.
