SHAZAM, baby!

Just a little Mary Marvel today. A combination of her classic appearance and the way Bob Oksner drew her in the SHAZAM back up stories in the 1970. He drew her so darn cute. but then he drew every girl cute. Which reminds me, I should do an ANGEL AND THE APE pin-up sometime. Hmmmm.

This piece is done in ink (with pencil outlines for the lightning) on 12" x 18" Strathmore 400 series 140# watercolor paper, to be painting in watercolor later.

Luv me some Oskner! You definitely captured the innocence that the character is supposed to have. Still don't like the Black Mary arc..my Mary would never go there!
Can't wait on the colors for this one!
