Captain America stage 1

The topic for my drawing club, Jelly of the Month, is Marvel Comics. I have always wanted to do a Captain America piece so I figured this was as good a time as any. I started with a digital thumbnail done in photoshop. There is really no significance to doing this on the computer other than I was too lazy to use my sketchbook. I knew I wanted him in motion but I also know I wanted to shield to play a prominent part but not to the point where it would cover up too much. I got this on my first try (which doesn't always happen).
