I'm always trying to draw "energy" ... I always loved Silver Surfer, "cosmic" type stuff

I bet it's difficult putting on that shirt.  My fingers would get all tangled up in the sleeves.

Except while he's figure skating, he keeps that expression on his face the whole time.

"like a figure skater" is a pretty good description of Araki's (Jojo's Bizarre Adventure creator) "battle lingerie" designs

I wonder how the ladies view him, he doesn't look romantic or cuddly, or even safe.
More like a killer for either good or bad, like it doesn't much matter, it's a job. 
There is certainly an advantage to looking dangerous, making the other guy have even a touch of self doubt.  
But this guy strikes me as pure danger, the nuke in reserve with no socially redeeming qualities.
A smile would make his face self destruct.
Just my...

It's true, traditional Western comic books, in general, are locked into an ultra-masculine, aggressive power fantasy. No matter how esoteric the subject matter, it almost always degrades into a fist fight.

..the main thing I gotta work on is placing objects within a common perspective grid. ..I can only stretch "artistically composing elements within a fundamentally flat series of layers" so far, (see: Mignola, mostly)

I'm a little surprised that my freehand estimate of human proportions is 7 by 2.33 heads.

7 heads is shorter than average, for western comics.
Manga proportions run smaller, so I must be drawing to anime standards.

How do these proportions look to you?

..continued..
..this is 8.5 x 2.66 heads, i.e. "heroic proportions"..
..this is cool looking, but I don't think this looks like a believable person..


..this is a pro bodybuilder they call "Jamie the Giant" ..
..he is 6'5" and maybe 7.5 heads tall if he was standing straight..

I think the 7 looks badder... more bad... badester... than the 8½. More heavyset?
However...


​I'm out of my area of experience here with only people to compare to.
On that basis... head A = too small, head C = too big, head B = juuuust right.
I have to stand up because I don't want to mumble when I'm talking out my ass.
​Are they mutant humans or extraterrestrials in the super hero/villain costumes?

those are my construction lines for a person,
A) is the face-- from the chin to the point where the forehead "turns" to meet the top of the head
B) is the head
C) from the midpoint of the clavicles, the two muscles (sternocleidomastoid) that run up and connect to the occipital bone

Thanks, A & B were what I thought and C is... um, er... what you said. LoL
That makes the illustrations rational... well for super hero pictures.
sternocleidomastoid?   occipital?  So they are aliens.
I still think 7 looks more menacing, kind of like an NFL lineman as opposed to an NBA center.
Are you doing this for the hell of it, as in just to learn how, or a shot at fame/fortune/professional?
