re: Req: Superheroes

re: Req: Superheroes

I thought about drawing Spiderman, then Superman.  I decided that no-one
would be able to recognise my attempts at either of these.  I settled
for Batman, for who can mistake the simple characters : "|\____/|", or
the destinctive belt?

I read somewhere that superheroes should be about six heads high
(including the actual head).  I think he looks a bit lanky, but I have
drawn him in acordance with this guidline.

I did it from memory (oh, you'd noticed), so if the belt, etc. is not
quite right, that is why.  If anybody sees this and can't help
themselves rediddle it, be my guest.  The face is too smiley, the hands
need to be drawn, and somebody might like to add some feet (I couldn't
remember what his shoes looked like).
