"she answers first"

This drawing of Wonder Woman is a direct tribute to Jay Anacleto, created by Ángel Bazal using black ballpoint pen, with no preliminary sketch and built entirely through final linework. The composition features a tight, frontal framing, with the heroine extending her arm toward the viewer, breaking the picture plane and establishing direct confrontation. Her expression is stern, focused, and almost defiant, conveying absolute authority. There is no decorative posing—Wonder Woman is not displayed, she acts. The treatment of the face and anatomy emphasizes contained tension, achieved through dense cross-hatching and layered strokes, without relying on solid black fills. The homage to Jay Anacleto is evident in the sculptural approach to form, the dramatic lighting, and the expressive intensity of the face, all reinterpreted through the ballpoint pen medium. Working without a sketch reinforces the visceral nature of the piece: every line is a final choice. The result is a powerful, almost intimidating portrayal of Wonder Woman, blending classical elegance with the controlled aggression of modern comic art.
