Psylocke - SHARPER THAN STEEL/ Bazal. 8,3x11,7 in.

"no wasted movement"

This illustration of Psylocke, a character from the Marvel universe, is drawn by Ángel Bazal directly in black ballpoint pen and marker, without any preliminary pencil sketch. The drawing is built through immediacy, where every line is a final decision and every visible correction becomes part of the graphic language. The figure is presented with a powerful yet elegant physical presence, blending sensuality and threat within the same pose. The body twists with tension and fluidity, while the face holds a restrained, almost cold expression that reinforces her mental discipline and martial control. There is no polish or softening: the anatomy is raw, defined by aggressive cross-hatching and hard contrasts that convey contained energy. The combined use of ballpoint pen and marker creates a rich texture that enhances body volume and fabric flow, striking a balance between strength and refinement. This Psylocke is neither ethereal nor decorative, but a conscious weapon—shaped equally by physical power and inner resolve. The result is a raw, intense, and deeply graphic interpretation of the character.
