Sara Pezzini and the Witchblade and Marc Silvestri

Hi there!

So, I'm still copying artworks from my favorites comic books artists. So here is a challenging one by Marc Silvestri representing Sara Pezzini wearing the Witchblade. I say "challenging" because the angle is quite original (and sexy) and can prove to be difficult to reproduce.

I got to tell you: no one told me what to use to draw and it seemed obvious for me so I never actually try to find anything about the type of pencils or erasers to use. I just bought a basic eraser and HB pencils. Rencently, I had a discussion with a friend who was surprised that I used HB pencils instead of 2B, 3B or 4B. This drawind is one of the first I do with a 2B pencil...

Once I finished with the posing and basic shapes of Sara Pezzini, I thought I could use my new tool (my 2B pencil) to try and add features like... the Witchblade (the gauntlet for those who don't know the comic), detail hairs, the armors around her breast, her leg etc.
Using a 2B pencil makes it easy to erase and redraw. It's also easier to draw shadows or shades of gray. Since I need work on the shadows, I ignored them for now and concentrated on adding details on the armor.

Here is the final result. Roughly, it took me about an hour but I refered very regularly to the original art by Silvestri.
