| Genius costume. |
Spider-Man is easy to draw. Real easy.
I was fooled by the web motif in the red part of the suit, but upon further examination I realized it's simple and rather ingenious design. There's been a ton of variations, but it says a lot when it's still the main outfit of a character that's been out for more than a few decades. I guess the same could be said of Superman's outfit, but I still think that Spider-Man's costume takes the cake. Why? You have everything you need in a superhero costume: a means to hide your identity; no clunk and any addons are camouflaged or incorporated into the suit; the powers/nature of the superhero are communicated through the costume so it's not a guessing game; and somewhat easy to move around in. While Superman's design is iconic/classic in its own right, it just not Spider-Man's outfit.
So why this random doodle of Spider-Man you ask? I was at Dare2Draw's end of the year party at the Art Director's Club. There was an open bar, food, models, and plenty of guests (such as Heidi MacDonald from The Beat, Shane Davis, Amy Reeder, and Bill Sienkiewicz.) I kept running around the floor trying to capture the model with the most interesting poses, but this particular time I decided to draw the dude who took the time to bring his costumes and even change into another one for the second half of it. Also, it was the perfect opportunity to draw Spider-Man.
