Dr. Balls Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I actually like that it was done and signed in 1973. Vintage original work is awesome! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
rtarturo Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 I tend to be a copier, I see a pose, image or something in a comic I like so I copy it. I was reading an old B&W Marvel mag this morning and saw an image I liked in an ad for Crazy or Cracked, I forget which, but I liked it so I drew this in the morning: [/img] I liked the splash from the latest Batgirl, started it last week and finished up this afternoon: [/img] I discovered Aphrodite IX by David Finch in a TPB recently: [/img] Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Logan510 Posted September 25, 2011 Share Posted September 25, 2011 Buy a couple of artist anatomy books, soak up the world around you with your eyes and remember that photo reference is a good tool, but eventually you want to branch away from it. this is just IMHO.

I'd agree with this. I think I read somewhere that Frazetta spent time as a young just copying from anatomy books until it became automatic. He might have used Bridgman, a classic. Andrew Loomis is another classic. Loomis has been long out of print but is coming back into print. This link: http://saveloomis.org/ has some downloadable public domain art books, there is some good stuff in there if you don't want to splurge on some new books.
