Janet Van Dyne takes flight in this guide showing how to draw Wasp from Marvel Comics. As a founding member of the Avengers and the hero who actually named the team, Wasp holds a special place in Marvel history. Her ability to shrink, fly, and fire bio-electric stings makes her one of the most versatile heroes, and this pose captures her hovering mid-air with her translucent wings spread wide.
