About the Author
MATERIALS
Here we will talk about the tools that can be used for your comic
book heroes creation process. There can often be a lot of debate on
which is better, but I assure you the ability lies within the artist and
not the tools they choose to create the work. Given enough time,
you can master any tool that you choose to wield!
Traditional Mediums
When working traditionally you have lots of options. From various types
of pencils to all sorts of ways to ink the work. You will generally use a
pencil to sketch the lines and a brush and/or crow quill to ink the lines.
There are many options to each one of these tools so you need to
practice and find out which suits your style. The best paper to work on is
bristol board smooth in my opinion. There are lots of options there as
bristol board smooth in my opinion. There are lots of options there as
well. Just remember that no matter what tool you pick you can create
great art as long as you put in the time!
Digital Mediums
When using digital tools you will need a tablet of some kind. There are
plenty of great devices to choose from and some take a bit more practice
than others. The digital drawing tablet has many added benefits to
creating your artwork such as not having to scan every page and touch
up the work. They can be a bit harder to get used to from traditional
drawing but when you finally get the hang of it, you will be glad you put
forth the effort. They can be huge time savers and you will never need to
buy paper again. Well, almost never!
CHAPTER 1
DRAWING THE FACE
In this chapter you will learn how to draw various male and female
faces. I will cover how to draw each part of the face and talk about
what goes into constructing them. By drawing the face in its parts
you will gain more confidence drawing the entire face and creating
lots of various character types.
