Superman illustration progression:

I recently did an illustration of the blue Boy Scout; Superman. Instead of just posting the final piece like I would normally do on other websites like Deviant Art 'link' and Facebook 'link' I decided to show you the full progression of it from a basic sketch to final color piece.


Step 1: Rough Sketch

Step 2: Refined sketch

Step 3: Basic study of shadows

Step 4: Ink

Step 5: Shadows

Step 6: Flat color

Step 7: Highlights and more shadows

Step 8: Extra detail, reflecting lights and glows
