Spidey in color..

18th March 2012, beside celebrating more then a decade in marriage with my lovely wife. I will always remember it as the day I fully completed my first coloring.
Its the beginning I've been yearning to start. I have been trying to begin my sketch & coloring practices with replicating comic covers. Initially I had begun the practice with a sketch of the original World Finest #2 but felt it wasn't appropriate & delayed the coloring.
Today, I just grab my sketch pad, started with some Captain America poses but didn't felt right doing it. I began thinking about designs using negative space and interested by the color of the subject blending in the background.
Without even considering or planing any layout, I just when ahead & sketch away. The only paint medium available was a box of watercolor. Its been decades since I last used it. There wasn't any particular technique I was using, Just going with memories from past greats.

The finish product, Spiderman cradling Mary Jane...
