Product Description

Product Description
Comic book artists are now developing cutting-edge, extreme comic book characters, where heroes are grittier and women are sexier, all designed for maximum impact. Cutting-edge comics venture beyond the traditional boundaries to extreme anatomy, extreme costuming, extreme special effects and extreme methods of storytelling. This guide shows readers, step-by-step, how to draw the radical characters and use the cutting-edge techniques that are the gold standard for designing extreme comics. There are how-to illustrations, which demonstrate the basic comic techniques, as well as show how to create such intense colouring effects as knockouts and glows. Several leading cutting-edge comic book artists also describe how they spin original character designs, many created for this book.

4.0 out of 5 stars Cutting edge and razor sharp, 1 Jul 2003
By D. Mckelvie (UK) - See all my reviews
(REAL NAME)   
I would not recommend this book if you are new to comic book art, there are many other titles such as, "How to draw comics the Marvel way" that would be more beneficial for a beginner. Although some of the material in this title duplicates that of other tuition books of this nature, Drawing Cutting Edge Comics is a lot more contemporary. The sections on anatomy are very useful, as is the advice on how to draw comic book heroines and villainesses! The chapter on page design helps the aspiring artist to think creatively and offers good suggestions on how to make each page grip the reader and achieve maximum impact. It also contains good advice on ways to create original characters and encourages "out of the box" thinking. If you're looking for inking or colouring techniques you'll be disappointed, although the subjects are covered it is more to show modern examples of how the industry has developed and does not offer any practical guidance on inking or colouring. That said however, if you're already proficient at inking then you'll probably gain something from the examples, but nothing you wouldn't get from buying a recent comic book. All in all this is a good resource for comic book artists and I'm sure even experienced artists would make their work more dynamic by applying some of its techniques.
