Marvel Pinup Calendar September - Clint Barton Michelmas

[amberdreams]

Maybe Clint was the right choice for Michelmas and the Harvest Festival because he's an archer like William Tell and apples and...oh ok, there was no rhyme or reason, I just wanted Clint in high heels up a tree, okay?

My final entry for the wonderful Marvel Pinup Calendar (HERE) - and a massive thank you to our mods, and all the fabulous supporting artists on Marvel Art Party. You rock, guys.

There are two versions in case people want to print him out for 2020 or 2021. Simply click on the image to go to the full size version for downloading and printing.



The bare naked version without the calendar overlay


Process:
Same as the others, drawn in pencil, then inked with fineliners and painted with watercolours.
Here's the line drawing before inking and before I decided to erase the fishnet top.

And here are some preparatory practice portraits - which I actually prefer to the one in the final version, but never mind. Jeremy Renner has a very interesting face and yet I found him quite difficult to draw.

The ruddy, autumnal vibe to this is so great. And the details in this face/facial expression are sublime! He has such a particular face I feel like it'd be hard to get it just right, but this is perfect.

He has really interesting, distinctive features, in a way I thought it would be easy but NO! So I'm very pleased you think it does look like him, thank you! 😊

any excuse to strip hawkeye almost naked and put him up a tree is a good one. :D
