I've always had a hard time helping people when it comes to drawing. I draw a lot in my spare time. I won't say I'm a professional artist or professional level, but at the risk of sounding arrogant I will say that my art is much better than many of the artists DC and Marvel employ today. Getting to that level isn't necessarily difficult - the difficulty comes when you try to break into the industry or when you have to start adding elements like paneling or accommodating for inking, text boxes, and coloring. Here's a few tips and the supplies that I personally use.


Tips to Learn

  • Never be satisfied. While someone else says, "man, that's so badass!" about something I draw, I'm focused on why the left shoulder is out of proportion with the right, why one small area is shaded in a way that argues with the direction of the light source, why the right nostril is a sliver higher than the left, etc. I don't think there are many artists who say, "man, I am at the perfect level of artistic talent." That's when they start turning in shitty, formulaic drawings and people really start to notice the quality slipping. Look no further than Frank Miller's work on DKIII. His writing has been great so far, but every piece of art that he's touched is sloppy and complacent. Never think that your art is good enough - always strive to be better.

  • Draw. A lot. Draw stupid, simple things. Draw complex things. Draw things that you've drawn before and add more details to them. Just draw. I wouldn't waste money on classes or books...there are many great resources online that you can Google specific questions to find. But it comes down to this: there isn't a "right answer". Get action figures and place them under a lamp. Draw them, paying special attention to the shadows and light source. Take a picture of your hand in various poses and draw then over and over. Just draw.


  • Take it slow kimosabe. Go slowly at first. People who are just starting out see other artists who have years of experience drawing an anatomically correct and detailed person from head to toe in thirty minutes or less and think that's the norm. It's not. I know how a male tricep is supposed to look because I've drawn it a billion times. I know where obliques are supposed to be and I know when an artist is taking liberties with the human form. I know how to draw a distinctive neck and large trapezius muscles. I know how quadraceps look and I know how calves look. Beginners don't. Don't make the mistake of trying to match someone's speed. In the Army we had a saying: "slow is smooth, smooth is fast." It has never let me down.

    Supplies

  • Mechanical pencils. Mechanical pencils are a key point for me because they're consistent. I've found that the amount of pressure I apply when using an old-fashioned pencil varies with the sharpness of the graphite. This means that when I sharpen the pencil, I go from using a dull point (more pressure) to a sharp point (which requires less pressure). That means that I put more pressure on the sharp point at first, crack the graphite and little bits of it go all over the page. Mechanical pencils also eliminate line variation - the width of a line that a sharp point produces is a far cry from the width of a dull line. Find a good, refillable pencil. You want a decent one that you'll use repeatedly...the more familiar you are with a single tool the more the tool becomes an extension of yourself to carry out your vision. I like my Tul 0.5mm pencils. Though I've used others in the past as well.

  • Distinct Erasers. I use a larger eraser for larger areas, and I actually just use regular Bic Erasers from cheap Bic Pencils for spot erasures. I would love to just use the erasers on my drawing pencil, but you'll find that tends to disappear real quick.

  • Paint Brush. Yep, I use a paintbrush when drawing, but not to add anything to the page. I found that when I erase things in any large amount and try to brush it off with my hand, some of those eraser shavings get caught under my hand and drag through the pencil markings, making more smudges than normal. I just use the massive brush in this pack. Those brushes are totally shit for painting, but they work great for brushing off my sketches to prevent smudges.

  • Paper. I am kind of particular about the paper I draw on. The 8.5'' x 11'' computer paper just doesn't really cut it for me anymore. I need something with a texture to it...I can't remember the brand, but I found an awesome stapled soft-cover sketchbook at Michael's for under $5, and I loved it. I haven't been able to find it since. However, when I want to do something more permanent than a sketch, I use comic book boards. Even if I'm not going to actually turn it into a comic page, I like the size and feeling of the boards.

  • Copic Liners. I am very new to inking. I straight up would never want to do this as a profession. I hate it. There are some artists who can sketch and ink, but I just don't have the inking vision for comics. I look at it, get a vague idea and just roll with it, whereas I have a much more specific idea when sketching that I can usually convey. When I pivot during sketches, it's usually because I'm adding something fun and neat. If I pivot during inking, it's because I've fucked up somewhere or am worried about the end results. I have a bad tendency to over-ink, too. I always feel like my inking ruins my artwork. That being said, I have used Faber Castell pens in the past...they're okay in my opinion. Definitely entry-level. I'm currently using Prismacolor liners. They're also okay. Either are decent for just starting. I will say that once I get a better handle on inking, I'll probably start buying something like Copic Multiliners. I've heard nothing but great things about these. This is a good article about inking tools.

I recommend these instead of Sharpies...

https://www.amazon.com/Prismacolor-Premier-Illustration-Markers-Assorted/dp/B0026HZ4BK/ref=sr_1_1?s=arts-crafts&ie=UTF8&qid=1501484025&sr=1

You can sometimes find the 4 pen package at walmart.

If you do go with Sharpie, they now make a pen that has less bleed than the regular precision tip markers, but they still bleed more than the prismacolors.

You should check on local art stores, they have all sorts of cool stuff that you can often try out before purchasing.

For drawings like these, you should vary the thickness of your lines more. Using different values for your lines will help your drawings pop. My friend, who is an accomplished artist, does a lot of drawings like these, here is a link to a gallery of some of his drawings that are similar to yours. Jack Graves III . Be sure to click the thumbnails for a full size view.

You should seriously consider getting a pack of art pens. They will help you immensely with this, and they are worth the less than $20 investment. Here are three to browse on Amazon. Prismacolor, Faber-Castell, and Sakura Micron Pens.

For pencils, my favorite is probably my Mars Technico, combined with the tub sharpener. The leads come from 4h-4b, so its a decent range. At 2mm it seems large, but the tub sharpener will put a needle ass point on that badboy. The leads last a pretty long time too.

Other than that, any set of pencils with a range of hardness would be cool, personally i prefer Prismacolor and Staedtler Mars Lumiograph. The technico costed about 16-17$ with the pencil, 3 leads and the sharpener, which i got an office depot.

For pens, I LOVE the Copic Multiliner SP. Pretty spendy, but the ink is refillable and the nibs are replaceable. Doesn't smudge when dry, and I've water colored over it fine even. A more affordable option would be Prismacolor Premier Pens, after about 5 seconds it won't smudge.

Hm, I've never had issues with leaking... And I often put them in a box with a bunch of other pens and markers knocking around. Their website gives a few reasons why Not storing them horizontally is a common reason.

I also don't use the 005's that much, so I guess that's why I never noticed them running out that quickly. A ball pen will definitely last longer but I just really don't like how long they take to dry. Microns are also archival quality.

Prismacolor makes very similar pens, among other companies, that maybe would work out better for you if you're interested in something like the Microns.

If you want top quality technical pens they get expensive quickly though some of them are refillable which helps.

Thanks for the suggestion. I poked around on Amazon a little and found these for basic reference:

https://www.amazon.com/Prismacolor-Premier-Illustration-Markers-Assorted/dp/B0026HZ4BK

https://www.amazon.com/Copic-Multiliner-Black-Ink-Marker/dp/B002UCYCBE/ref=pd_sim_201_5?_encoding=UTF8&pd_rd_i=B002UCYCBE&pd_rd_r=APY9S9XG2Z4F9J6D2TX8&pd_rd_w=Yzhmc&pd_rd_wg=HOwnY&psc=1&refRID=APY9S9XG2Z4F9J6D2TX8

Simply put, since I don't understand sometimes the jargon between pen, marker, etc... would you say both these products would fulfill the general requirements here on this subreddit about the type of felt tip pens to be used? Thanks.
