For this realistic Batman drawing, begin with a rough sketch outlining the silhouette. Focus on the angles of the jaw, the mask, and the flowing cape. Use photo references to get an accurate depiction of muscle tone and fabric folds. Emphasize shadows using 4B or 6B pencils for depth in the mask and under the cape, while using HB for softer parts of the face and highlights. Layer pencil strokes to build texture and volume.

Intermediate artists can gain a lot by focusing on realistic textures and the play of light across the costume. The detailed attention to anatomical and fabric realism makes this sketch ideal for improving pencil control and observational artistry, suitable for building an impressive portfolio of superhero art.
