1524 - The Left Hand Of Artless

On JSVB, the thirteenth of every month is Ungood Art Day.  Instead of showcasing things that are great, Ungood Art Day raises the curtain on my flubs and bad choices.

This is an early version of one of my drawings of Superman.   It turned out okay, in fact I prefer the black and white lines to the coloured version.  The only problem I have was that I don't know what Supes has in his left hand.  It kind of looks like a gym towel...? I should know, I drew it.  I was trying to have Superman open his suit jacket, but I lost track of how clothing works and merely inked the vague lines I had pencilled.  

I ended up replacing the cloth in Superman's left hand with Clark Kent's eyeglasses, which worked better visually and thematically.
