It no news for those who know me: I love Michael Turner.

So let me start this message with a quick link to an amazing site created by a huge fan of the legendary artist:

Recently, I read the comic book Batman/Superman 2 : Supergirl by Jeph Loeb and Michael Turner and I was simply... amazed. The story was great and mainly about Superman (my favorite character),but the thing that swept me off my feet was the way Turner drew Supergirl. She is innocent, yet strong and powerfull. Her eyes are simply the most amazing thing I saw recently.

So, the next day, I started to try and recreate something similar. Not much came out of it except that I began to pay particular attention to face expressions. I even drew several faces with various expresions (anger, joy, etc etc). Not a big hit either but it gave me something to think about as I re-opened Supergirl to check what were the details in her face that made her so full of life.

Among other things, I noticed:

- she has a HUGE smile

- her eyes are wide open

- her hairs float in the wind

 So after a few tests, I came up with this drawing that I created while looking several times at a sketch from Michael Turner.
