The Marvel Cinematic Universe is filled with exciting superhero characters. One of the characters that has become a fan favorite, despite his lack of screentime, is Hawkeye. Though he has never had a solo film, he remains one of the most popular characters in the MCU.

There are many ways that fans show their love for their favorite characters. Some fans engage in cosplay, some attend conventions, some join fan groups where they can discuss theories or observations, and some read as much as they can about their article. But there is another way that artists express their love for a character and that is through fan art. And Hawkeye has been the subject of many incredible pieces of fan art.

10 Side Profile

In the films, there are many shots of Hawkeye from the side, showing his profile as he prepares to sprint into battle. This angle is usually associated with Hawkeye’s speed and fierceness.

This artist has chosen to capture Haweye’s side profile. The look in his eyes shows that he is determined and focused. The picture looks extremely realistic and contains many small details that immediately helps the view identify this depiction as Jeremy Renner’s Hawkeye.

Digital painting is becoming an extremely common form of art. This artist demonstrates just how well digital painting can be done. This picture of Hawkeye has so many fascinating elements. While the background looks like a fantasy painting, Hawkeye’s face seems more realistic.

The color palate makes Hawkeye’s face stand out as the focal point of the image, with his signature arrows gleaming behind his perfectly framed face.

Though Hawkeye’s popularity certainly increased with the MCU movies, the character has been around for much longer than that in the Marvel comics.  This means that the character has seen several redesigns and visual depictions. This fan art is clearly based on the comic book depiction of Hawkeye. Here, Hawkeye seems calm and controlled as he stylishly aims arrows.

Recreating a character with just colored pencils is no easy task, but that is what this artist has done. Though the color palette used is slightly brighter than that of the movies, it is clear that sketch is based on Jeremy Renner’s MCU Hawkeye.

In the films, Hawkeye has worn a number of different outfits, including the Avenger’s suit depicted in this piece of fan art. This piece of fan art shows a happy and hopeful Hawkeye, something many fans hope the character will one day achieve.

This fan art image is stunning. Yet another digital painting, the amount of detail work captured in this image is truly incredible. There is so much texture in Hawkeye’s face and hair that makes the image appear 3-dimensional.

The detailed linework in his face adds depth. This linework is also evident in Hawkeye’s suit, adding texture and shadowing. The character is clearly equipped for battle as he wears his armor and weaponry on his back.

4 Pirate Hawkeye

Okay, but consider this: Pirate Hawkeye AU . I mean, wouldn’t it be perfect? ‘Hawkeye’ itself already sounds like a pirate alias. And with Clint’s personality, he would fit right in! Also, consider Kate being there as well and both of them being the infamous Hawkeyes!!! 🏹☠️ And Lucky could actually wear an eyepatch in this masterpiece asdjf;asdfj . . . #shan101pi #shanpiart #clintbarton #hawkeye #hawkeyefanart #pirateau #pirate #marvel #avengers #fanart #digitalart #artistoninsta #katebishop #luckythepizzadog #clintbartonisahotmess #clintbartonismyspiritanimal

Sometimes, fan art creations are a time to explore what one character would have looked like in a different story or universe. This is what this artist has done as they redesigned Hawkeye as a pirate. This is an interesting concept to think about as there are many similarities and differences between pirates and superheroes.

Still, it is evident that the artist thought carefully about which signature Hawkeye elements would be incorporated into this pirate design. Hawkeye’s signature comic book colors and the bow and arrows immediately make it clear that this pirate is Hawkeye inspired.

Vector art is a specific type of digital art. This digital art requires the artist to use lines, points, curves, and shapes based on mathematical formulas to create a specific image. In this piece of fan art, the image created is Hawkeye. Vector art has more of a cartoonish feel to it. But instead of feeling childish, this image of Hawkeye feels appropriately dark and intense.

2 Buff Hawkeye

View this post on Instagram

I recently found out that Clint is actually deaf and dependent on hearing aids and sign language in some comics. Won’t gonna lie, somehow the thought of this fact pleased me. But when I realized that his deafness was not included in the movies, I was a little disappointed. So I decided on this fanart. I thought it would make a little more sense to give him cochlear implants instead of hearing aids. The reason is that I wanted to combine something personal with this admirable character, since I grew up with them myself. #clintbarton #clintonfrancisbarton #hawkeye #deafclintbarton #deafclint #clintbartonhearingaid #hearingaids #cochlearimplant #hawkeyefanart #clintbartonfanart #marvelclintbarton #clintbartonhawkeye #clintonbarton #hawkeyecomics #marvelhawkeye #avengers #avengersfanart #agentclintbarton #marvelfanart #marvelcomics #marveluniverse #marvel #clintbartonfanart #archery #archer #archery🎯 #myart

In the comics, Hawkeye is deaf. Unfortunately, this aspect of the character did not make it to the films. Still, many fans have enjoyed this positive depiction of a strong deaf character. This artist has chosen to create a version of fan art which shows Hawkeye with cochlear implants to draw on both her personal experience and Hawkeye’s comic book persona. Hawkeye looks extremely powerful and buff as he stands ready to attack.

In the comic books, there are several different versions of Hawkeye. One of them is Kate Bishop, a female superhero. This piece of fan art pays tribute to this incredible superhero. Kate’s youthfulness is evident through her style and expression. Though feminine, it is clear she is armed for battle with her arrows hoisted on her shoulder.
