Last week when I visited the art store and was going through their clearance paint, I came across a tube of silver and suddenly mind mind was awash in visions of silver on black paintings.
I think the first vision I had was for Daredevil sort of three images with Daredevil facing in three different directions.
Also Spider-Man was another idea.
After I painted the painting paper black, I got stuck in what to do. Other than the superhero idea, I thought maybe just having a partial skyline like that I observed in Chicago. So I painted it black on Tuesday night and then let it sit to dry but then I got stuck on what to attempt.
Luckily, I was reading a comic book series at the time called Secret War from my Marvel Superheroes Secret Wars Battleworld Box Set and this particular series had different heroes set against a mostly black background. I pretty much had decided on either Daredevil or Spider-Man and in the end, the Spider-Man seemed like the best one to go with.
So this is also the first action scene I have drawn or painted. In some ways, I'm happy with this painting. I guess for my skill level, it is recognizable and the silver paint ended up being harder to work with than I anticipated. It was a bit thicker than the other colors I had worked with, but since I was going with a simple design, I could paint over lines or too thick of lines with the black.
Here's the cover art that was the basis for this painting:
