I’d recently finished binge-watching the first 4 seasons of super-Hero anime ‘My Hero Academia’. Despite initial reservations after the first episode, I ended up getting into it and really enjoying it. My goal was to create some All Might fan art in a similar style to the Tattooed Goku I’d created a few years back. Here’s some work in progress images to show the process:

Digital Sketching

I started with a digital sketch using reference from bodybuilder Jay Cutler who reminded me of All Might. This was then refined and tidied up, adding his “I am here” catchphrase to the banner- a line he must have used a million times in the anime!
Time: 7 Hours to draw

Adding Colour

The first image on the left is probably around 60% through the colouring process. It was getting a bit dark, so brightened it up and added colourful background splatters to finish. I’m happy with how it it turned out- makes a nice little tribute piece to the series
Time: 10.5 Hours to colour – 17.5 hours total.

If you like the artwork and would like to support my artistic endeavours, I’ve turned it into an A3 print, available to buy on my Store. I’ve thought about creating and offering shirts featuring this and other designs on my store also- something to explore if there’s more interest? In the mean time this design can be bought on a T-Shirt via my TeePublic store.
