Experimenting with how I wanna draw Clark and Bruce, decided it would be best to draw them side by side to make sure they don’t look too similar *cough cough* Dc *cough*, also been wanting to draw them in 1940’s suits so combined them into one.
As always click for better quality
COMMISSIONS OPEN
+ Underwear version so that I could actually see their body types for reference later
Bonus; Clean profiles!
ID + refs under cut;
[ID; Digital drawing of Bruce Wayne and Clark Kent standing, both are dressed in 1940’s clothes. Bruce is on the left in a dark navy double breasted suit, with a black tie and yellow shirt, he has a five o’clock shadow and a scar on his cheek and ear. Clark is dressed in a brown suit, with a mismatched jacket and trousers, his trousers are darker and high waisted with a thin belt, his jacket is open and underneath he’s wearing a beige knitted sweater vest with a red tie and white shirt. Clark’s glasses are thick and tortoise shell in pattern. There’s a second drawing, which is in the same poses as the first but both men are in boxers and vests of the period. Behind each of them is a drawing of their face at profile view, Bruce is in full Bruce Wayne persona in his, clean shaven, properly washed for once and with makeup to cover his eye bags, he’s in a black tuxedo and smiling. Clark in his profile is in his above suit plus a fedora with a red band holding a press pass in his hat, he’s looking up in interest. The background to both is faded newspaper clipping of the Gotham gazette and the daily planet along with the superman and Batman symbol. End ID]
Here’s the references I based their clothes on btw, in case you’re interested!

uh hi can you give some shading tips? pls?
Sure! :DD
I think the easier way to give some tips is by showing my own process.
(I won't explain here the basics of shading, but if you want I linked a tutorial down at the end of this.)
First off, the program I use is Krita (but any program is ok 👍✨)
And here's the brushes I use:
I'd say use at least two brushes. A soft one and a harder one.
To show you I'll use this doodle I did of Murder!Sans (by @/ask-dusttale)
First, flat colors.
Then start shading on a new layer and put it in Multiply mode, then change the opacity at your liking.
Don't use black for the shadows! Use a dark color.
I usually use a purple or a brown.
Now with the same color, go on a new layer (Multiply mode), and add extra shadows where light has trouble reaching.
This gives more depth to the drawing.
(To make this process easier I use the Select Opaque option, by right clicking on the Base Shading layer, down in the menu, and then paint on the new layer)
Now fill the canvas with the light's color (or do like me and duplicate the Flat Colors layer, and recolor it if you want the light to be only on the subject).
I'm using yellow since it makes a nice contrast with the purple.
Put it in Pin Light mode and change the opacity at your liking.
Aaaand
You could say finished!
We could stop here, but if you want some extras, go under the cut:
-EXTRA-
Now I-
I can't explain what "Bouncing Lights" and "Sub-Surface Scattering" are, so... go see on internet :''D
Basically slap some red and blue over the shadows layer in Overlay mode and voilà
It'd be more noticeable with less light but trust me, it's good
Now let's talk about ambience.
We can create many different scenes just by playing with the light and shadow layers!
Change their colors, change the blending mode, play with 'em and see what you get:
Also I suggest studying how color schemes work (I'll link you a video down below).
I uhh actually kinda suck at color schemes XD but having at least a basic understanding of them it's useful.
And, here's some tutorials that personally helped me a lot:
Shadows and lights tutorial/tips <- great for learning the basics of shading
Time saving shading solutions
This great rendering tutorial by @/licollisa
Different color schemes
For any questions don't hesitate to ask me (^w^)
