<p>This started out as a practice exercise to try to do some more traditional comic-style inks. As opposed to my usual style for Kickman and Java Jaguar which are more of a Cartoon-ish style (about midway between Silver Age X-men and 1970's Archie comics).</p>

Since I'm just practicing I skipped the hands. Let's just assume that invisible hands is one of Superman's new powers that was just discovered. Like the amnesia kiss from Superman 2.</i>

First just blotch on some sloppy paint using an India Ink brush.<br></i>

To make sure that the belt is yellow and their are some skin tones so that he is distinguishable from Bizarro. Also had to re-red his eyes since those disappeared. Auto color is fast but sloppy. If I was planning to keep this I would take the time to clean up those smudges that bled out past the black lines.</i>
<p>And there's a quick Superman courtesy of Clip Studio Pro, rendered on a Surface Pro 4. If everyone that sees this goes ahead and sends me money, maybe I'll get around to drawing HANDS.</p>
