In my 2 years of drawing Spider-man for Marvel in various books, I've never had to draw Mary Jane for some reason which is a travesty since I think she probably the hottest girl in the Marvel universe. I've noticed that I haven't drawn many 'hot chicks' in my artistic career and needed to brush up on them since a lot of the best artists in comics are known for their beautiful women. For this piece I was thinking a lot about the master of beautiful women, Adam Hughes. he has the ability to draw the most gorgeous girls with just a few pencil strokes so I wanted to try and figure out what makes his drawings pop so well. Not that I was trying to imitate his style but more the technique with was originally made popular by the racey 'good girl' art posters of the 40s and 50s. So, in truth, I guess I was trying to illulate the poster artists that influenced Adam's work.
This piece was done entirely in Pencil and digitally colored in photoshop 5.5. Took me a while since I'm not a very fast colorist and I wanted to try a smoother style than the cell shading I usually do. I get a lot of messages asking how I color my stuff and, to be honest, I don't know. Everything I do is entirely trial and error so I don't have a technique I can share that would help anyone, sorry guys. Hope you dig it!!
"Face it Spidey, Mary Jane can take care of herself!"
very very nice indeed. Glad to see that your back again. Fantastic work mate.

i've been meaning to ask you.....have you ever drawn the black cat? i mean jeez.....its black cat! shes at least in the top five! if you haven't you should definately do something like this for her!
Oh... my ... WOW! 1st, I loved reading your description. Excellent verbage 2nd but not least of all, the image is so... eye-popping, you said it. Adam Hughes or Al Rio are definitely what I was thinking ... but you have a very distinctive flare on it. MARVELous!!! MJ is my fave all time too, in comics. There's just somethin' about her (and I love redheads)
