I don't think my scanner does this drawing justice,but I will take a digital picture of it when I can.Hope you will all enjoy it.Didn't have room for the cat tower(or Kat tower) that I was going to have Katharine sitting on,but oh well.

It's better to have her sitting on air--or an invisible surface--because it gives more of an omniscience to her rather than realizing that Katwoman likes to lounge like that on an uncomfortable stool.

This is brilliant work yet again, Rich--especially the detail of her skin. I do think I liked the Batgirl personification a little better (I guess the mask for that character is more sensual to me than for Katwoman), but the details here are quasi unreal.

Quite frankly, I don't know how you do it on getting the details so perfect. You must have a secret to it that I can learn from in my own drawing (still untested after a considerable time, unfortunately) and probably could benefit a lot of artists. Obviously, it's all about taking the time to create all the nuances, and you must do that methodically. It's worth every hour of time you spend on it, though. Here's hoping you're selling this work for boffo bucks to pay for the time spent.

Now you're having me brainstorm on what other superheroes Kat could potentially play. Considering a lot of superheroes are starting to get covered up more and more (is a Spiderwoman really conservatism or just an excuse to see a woman in skin-tight wardrobe? )--it leaves the options limited for ones who just wear a mask.

Hey, how about Isis as a mask-free superhero? If you grew up on 1970's Saturday morning shows, you'll know what I'm aiming at here...

Thank you again Greg,and everyone!
I ran out of room on the paper,so that why I couldn't show what Kat is sitting onI think I liked the Batgirl drawing better myself,and maybe I should have drawn this one has Batgirl with clothes.I'm alittle torn about masks on Katharine though because the main reason I LOVE to draw that incredible face is because of those eyes,and wearing a mask almost seems to "cover" her up to much.If you or anyone out there has any suggestions on what I should draw Kat wearing in the next drawing,please let me know.You mentioned the 70's morning shows.I do remember some of those,so which character would you like to see Katharine as?I was leaning alittle toward Princess from BATTLE OF THE PLANETS or something
I've also wanted to try and draw Kat in colored pencil,which I don't have as much experience in,but shes worth the effortI'm not sure what kind of teacher I would be,but I do have a "method" I use to measure certain things of the face/body.After I finish one eye,or atleast the pupil,I use that as a measurement from then on.Its alittle difficult for me to explain but you basically use the first pupil to draw the next feature.How many pupils from a to b.How many pupils between the first eye and the start of the next one,how many between the bottom of the eye to the bottom of the nose,etc..
Not sure that helps anyone,but hopefully it will.Other than that,its all about shading.I use a automatic(5mm) pencil and a shading tool made for pencil.And of course ALOT of practice!
As for selling this drawing,I haven't had any offers yet I'm sure Katharine is getting a little sick of me sending her all these drawings, so I'm not against selling some of them instead
So Greg ( and everyone else)let me know what you would like to see Katharine as.A superheroine or something else.A full body drawing would of course take awhile longer than just a drawing of her face.I still wouldn't mind a HQ picture of your avator Greg to draw from( I love that pose)
I think Kats movie comes out next month to by the way,can't wait!
Thanks again!!

I can't find the original picture for some reason (it was taken at the Z100 radio tour in May, 2007)--but here's one taken from the front, from the front... I think it's right after she turned around while singing "Feelin' Good" on that tour last year...

Going back to my Isis suggestion, here's a couple of pictures from the old 1970's series. Yeah, I was an infant when it was on Saturday mornings (as a double bill with "Shazam!")...but let's just say holy wow.

 

I read on Wikipedia once that JoAnna Cameron who played Isis got out of showbiz not long after the series went off the air--but you can see a slight resemblance to Kat there in the face. Not that I'm suggesting Kat play Isis in a movie when there may be utterly no way to avoid the camp and cheese factor. Then again, with the right creative mind (), it perhaps could have some possibilities. And, best yet, you have no mask to hide Kat's facial features...

I halfway kinda remember this... but haven't thought about it for ages. I don't think they could revive it as a series without a serious cheese factor coming into play, but as a movie, the right combination of actor/script/director can take something totally yesterday and send it hurtling into the future, trailing clouds of... well, dollars, these days. Like Ironman. Everything has to be on point, and click just right. These days that usually means not only topnotch FX but also a very well written script, so that if you have to retain a certain amount of cheese just so the character will be him/herself, at least you stick in a little humor to make it palatable, and if you're updating a stirring tale of yesteryear, you have to sex it up a bit too, just as a matter of course. That's a lot of factors to get right, which is why superhero stuff is so chancy. I thought The Fantastic Four did a pretty good job because they didn't take themselves too seriously, and Michael Chiklis was great as Ben. I got a kick out of Hellboy as well, maybe because I'm totally unfamiliar with the comic so had nothing to compare it to. I thought it looked stupid until I actually got into the movie. Maybe I just identified with Big Red because he loved cats.

Speaking of tv series, actually one of the better ones in this mold, which I just discovered this year, was Charmed, with 3 (count 'em, 3) lovely and likeable superheroes, great scripts, lots of imagination and humor mixed in with action and love affairs, and the glue of the whole thing, the great relationship between the three sisters. They absolutely aced every one of the criteria necessary for success in what can be a tough genre to succeed in.

It just occured to me that I already cast her as Isis (just not this one) in one of the Rainbowland stories.
