Description
How many bats are there? 
I painted this using watercolours, through the last two days, in about 11 hours. The colours were yellow ochre, polychromatic black (mixing especially alizarin crimson red and phtalos blue) and something of burnt umber.
My reference was a poster of the movie "Batman Begins" (Christopher Nolan, 2005). Christian Bale was the main actor in the movie, but he can hardly appear in this depiction...
Although the character was originally on the middle, I´ve chosen for changing a bit the composition, putting him on the left, and closer. And I´ve tried to emphasize better the shapes of the figures, especially the bats, than it´s on the photo.
I´ve just made this work because, last week, my oldest friend (since childhood), Bruno Andreotti, asked me something with Batman in. (It seems that he didn´t like very much my previous subjects "Twilight" and "Harry Potter", both asked by my girfriend, eheh.)

Overall Vision Originality Technique ImpactBeing that you didn't just place Batman directly in the middle of the paper makes this piece more interesting to look at. I like the high of the transitioning black to yellow to white (or lighter yellow) on his mask, it shows me where your light source is. The form of the mouth and side to the nose to give it depth looks really nice and you modeled the shapes and values nicely.
The abstract form of bats in the back give it a nice touch and help the picture move. They keep your eyes looking around and tie everything together.
The only thing I think that needs to be fixed is the shoulder on the right side (looking at me) seems to drop off too short, I don't know if that's how it looked (if you referenced from picture), but it seems to be off a little bit. Other than that, you did a really nice job. Keep up the good work.
