Draw Comic Book Action

Superhero feats and exhilarating fights are the climax of a comic book; with How to Draw Comic Book Action you will learn to draw this fun and vital part of comic art. Techniques for drawing every dynamic action are explained from running, swinging and flying through to fist fights, group rumbles, and battles.

The featured techniques are really for those who already have a base knowledge of form, are familiar with tools such as a lightbox, and know their way around an art-supply store. Garbett remains encouraging throughout, stressing research and practice. Rather than taking a line-by-line, how-to approach, he aims to spark the imagination by suggesting that readers think about the action, emotion, and scene that they would like to create and going from there. Once budding comic-book artists master these skills, they'll have plenty of punching, fighting, weapon-wielding characters to beef up their portfolios.
