From Batman to Spiderman and everything in between, superheros are a popular cartoon concept. Drawing them is another matter. Just how do you get the speed of motion, the cliff hanging ideas or transforming ordinary faces into something out of this world? The answer is to follow the advice given in this book. Over the years, Andy Fish has drawn hundreds of superheros and he is an expert in the subject. Drawing on that background, he shows you how to create the ideal superhero. Step by step instructions can be easily followed, covering all the essential ingredients of a superhero from bodies to costumes, environments and supporting characters. One of the most useful things about the book is the ring binder style - this makes it much easier to keep open when you are trying to follow the instructions. An extremely useful book for any would be comic or graphic artist.-Monstersandcritics.comMore details
