It's pretty nice, but what the hell is that hand gesture that he's giving?

Would Spidey really use that hand gesture?

Welcome to the boards, by the way! Smile

welcome WidoW !

Yes change his right hand ... will look much better !

I agree with you guys, change that hand. I also think he's WAY too slim, he doesn't look healthy...

Welcome to the boards, by the way. Though I'm kinda new here too.

The hand that has the pointer and the pinky outstretched is a classic Spidey pose when he's shooting web. I'm not sure if thats what you guys were criticizing, but I figured I'd put my nerdy background to use.

Also, Spidey tends to have that over exxagerated "skinny, lanky" type of look that makes him look more flexible and decievingly weak.

For example of the hand gesture:

I hope you guys are joking about the hand and all that, its sad if you arent.

It looks pretty good, I remember there being some kind of pattern on his palms though.

To comment on the picture itself, I think the lines going along the top of his head should bend inwards more to reflect the roundness of his head.

Whoa! Hey Thanks Guys.

Well that right hand..hes making a fist but hes resting his arm on his leg.

As for the comment why he looks so unhealthy...lol

For those who misunderstood the thing about the hand... It's Spideys Right hand we're talking about, the fisted one. Not the one that's gonna shoot some web. :p

The muscles are great and the perspective is pretty good. My only critisism at this stage would be his left (our right) leg..or perhaps his stance in general...it seems a bit awkward...to splayed out for the position he's in...although I could, theoretically, see him standing perpendicular to a wall in this pose, it still just doesn't quite work.

This doesn't quite work, and I couldn't understand for a moment.

Foreshorterning. The back leg should be smaller, and the front arm should be shorter.

Work more on skeletons and less on drawing webs.

Nice try though.
