I havn't posted anything here in ages, so here's some art. The following are two pieces I did of Ironman and Batman when I was experimenting with Photoshop way back. I havn't learned much more about it since, so hints and tips would be very much appreciated.

Yeh, Gradients is all I got ;D. Also, this was based off one of the poster's for the film.

Original design influenced by some of the comics.

I decided to draw Ironman on the spur of the moment to try some new things out, so superheroes seemed like the way to go. Hope you enjoy the pictures.

Iron Man is way better looking than Bats. Finish his legs out! Haha. For Ironman, I would try highlighting his armor more, especially in the torso area. Make it shiny! Metal has really wild properties in some light, you should look at some references. Bats looks a little overweight, and your proportions are a little on the loose end in terms of accuracy; he's fat and ripped at the same time! You have the general shapes, I would recommend some digital tutorials on how to render in photoshop, and I would grab some books by Andrew Loomis, he's an awesome artist. You can find his books online for free in .pdf form. Thanks for posting and keep it up! You can only get better.
