My wife asked me to do a couple Batman drawings for the seven year old son of a guy she works with. He already had a Batman theme for his bedroom, and he liked the Animated Batman more than the darker movie Batman. I decided to do the illustrations as paintings. I haven't set a brush to canvas in ages, so it did take some time to shake off the rust. Luckily, I found canvases on sale at the local art supply store. I stayed close to the Bruce Timm style Batman.
First, a close-up of the Batman. I'm very happy with this one.
Next, Batman fixing to throw a Batarang. There's some wonky stuff going on there, but the kid loves it.
They're not masterpieces, but they're not bad for being out of practice since the 80s.
