After having previously done a drawing of Bruce Banner / Hulk and Bruce Wayne / Batman, I decided to do a Peter Parker / The Amazing Spider-Man mash-up. Since I draw freehand, I just try to guess where on the page to start and build out from there (which is frequently a problem. Ha…). I’d intended to do more of Spidey behind Peter but ran out of space as I drew Peter… so I decided a complete mash-up would be fun, reminding myself it’s just a drawing, it’s just for fun, and I can’t really be “wrong” in however I decide to make it. So, about 2 nights into it, I decided to add a reflection of Emma Stone as Gwen Stacy in Spider-Man’s eye and it just seemed to fit…
Peter is graphite pencil while Spider-Man is Prismacolor colored pencil, and Emma is also graphite. And I used a “Jet Black” Ebony graphite pencil for the black area and as black for the rest of the drawing. I’ve found that using a black colored pencil stands out TOO much from the rest of the piece.

After an online customer expressed displeasure over Gwen Stacy’s reflection in Spidey’s eye and asked if something else could be replaced instead, I redrew just the eye piece and scanned it into Photoshop to make an alternate drawing. Check it out below…
