If you have children or young relatives who show the spark of talent for the entertainment art fields of story boarding, concept art/design, or sequential art of any kind, this is the book for them. Pacing, mood, dynamism, framing, composition, it’s all there along with a glossary of industry terms, list of materials and constructive anatomy methods, that are still as relevant today as they were in 1977. The coolest thing about HTDCTMW is It’s really a book about visual story telling that happens to use the comic book idiom. All of this without going over your head, or talking down to the audience.
It even approaches professionalism and best practices. It doesn’t stop with proper tools, formulas, and methods.
Yet, somehow Stan Lee brings us just that. It is nearly impossible to write a book that touches upon all the essential aspects of a given art field in any relevant way. I was the only kid on my block with a copy of How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way When I was young, every little boy I knew wanted to draw comics (these days many little girls do too, and that’s awesome) but I had a serious advantage over all of them. If you want to bond with your teen, pick up some packing paper and a comic book! Worked wonders for us :) He drew the majority while I helped with the mouths and hands. I know there are boys and girls out there that will eat this book up.Ī great manual for the artists of tomorrow.Ībove is the completed picture that my son and I were working on. Lately, my son and I have been bonding over superheros and while I don't have the attention-span to draw the Marvel Way. While, I'm not an artist, it was super fun to go through and see all the techniques. It shows you what artists at Marvel strive to do to make their comic books and panels stand out for the enjoyment of the reader.Ī very interesting book that I think would be awesome for any kid 13+, it shows you what you need to do to improve at your craft. IT shows you how to ink, draw action, start with stick figures, where to position, and what draws attention. Well, I thought it was going to show me how to draw Spidey and Shellhead, and Cap.īut no. It's a step by step guide on how to draw THE MARVEL WAY!! It's not a step by step guide on how to draw characters. If you are looking for a book that will show you how to draw The Mighty Thor, Spiderman, The Incredible Hulk, or even Captain America's Shield.
