30 days of superheroes

In June 2011 I took "cobie goes boom"'s 30 day drawing challenge: superheroes. The challenge is divided into 4 weeks of increasingly complex challanges... the first week you make your superhero team, the next you show theme in individual poses, the next acting in pairs, and finally as a team. Finally you have a freeform day and then a comic book cover.

It was a lot of fun, and I learned a bit about composing scenes and using layers in the program "ArtStudio" on iPad. While my style is still laughably doodle-ish, it was a great experience.
