This drawing of Superman and Lois Lane is based on another drawing I did several years ago. The pose and rendering were the same in that drawing, but I was never fully satisfied with certain other aspects of that sketch. My failings nag at me every time I see that drawing, so in recognition of SUPERMAN WEEK here at 13th Dimension, I decided to take another stab at it.
Damn. Bill’s linework is simultaneously delicate and sumptuous. What mastery. — Dan
This one, like the original, is in the style of the magnificent Max and Dave Fleischer Superman theatrical cartoons of the 1940s, and I referenced an original background layout drawing from those shorts for the Metropolis skyline.
