Nightcrawler Fan Art: From Pencil on Paper to Procreate Colour

Nightcrawler is one of my favourite X‑Men to draw. This post shares my journey with a large A2 pencil sketch, having it displayed in a popular Athens comic book store, and later colouring it digitally with Procreate.

One of my favourite superheroes is Nightcrawler. He’s upbeat, cheerful, charming, and a loyal friend. His appearance is unique, so I really enjoy drawing him.

This is my fan art of Nightcrawler. I drew it with an HB pencil on A2‑sized paper. When I asked a local comic book store if they could hang it on their wall, they gladly did — for a while. I was over the moon showcasing my art in one of the most popular comic book stores in Athens.

Years later, I scanned the drawing and then coloured it with Procreate.

I enjoy to draw In the garden

Who is your favourite X‑Man? I have several favourites myself — but Nightcrawler will always be near the top.
