(Part 2) Top products from r/comicbookart

For 18 years old that's pretty fucking good. But there is always room for improvement for every aspect of drawing. As an artist you should never stop learning.

A lot of good suggestions in this thread, the most important thing is to just keep generating content and finish an issue or a story with your art. It's not going to be perfect or up to your ideals all the time but just getting the work done is great for feeling accomplished and proving to yourself that you can finish something (this is really fucking important).

Then every once and awhile go back to a comic, or a page that you've already done and think about and write down the things that you can do better and ideas on maybe different layouts - and then try it out. Iterate on the same basic concept and you'll start to gravitate on what you like personally and what feels good to you. You do enough of that and you'll eventually have your own distinctive style.

Also getting inspiration by digesting and studying professional work is important too. I'd refrain from copying a style, especially for professional work - but I'd look at other's work and write notes about what this artist did in this book that you like, try it out and see if it's compatible with what you're trying to accomplish.

There are a lot of answers to this. Moon Knight has had many series since his creation in the late 70's. There are fans who prefer the Classic Moon Knight, fans who prefer the Modern Moon Knight stories, and then people like me who love it all (except the early 90's trash). If you want the classic Moon Knight, which was written by Moon Knights original author, and his defining artist, I recommend the Countdown to Dark TPB. If you like the tone of those, your next step is to go for the Essential Moon Knight's 1, 2, & 3. These will cover the Origin stories, the major villains, the most important story arcs, and has some of the best comic art of the time. Keep in mind, all of these stories were written in the early 80's, and they are a product of their time.

For a more modern Moon Knight story, you really have two good options. You can either try the Huston/Finch Run by getting Moon Knight: The Bottom (and continue to volumes 2-5). They are a decent enough place to start on Moon Knight if you have no background on him. These stories tend to be very dark and very edgy compared to previous Moon Knight stuff.

What most people seem to be doing, however, is starting with the most recent run by Bendis/Maleev. It is titled quite simply Moon Knight This series is pretty self reliant, and seems to be very popular.

He is good! Get him a sketchbook, encourage him to draw from life whenever possible. Or something like this, a friend of mine does comics workshops for kids/new artists, a workbook like this could encourage him too: Let's Make Comics!: An Activity Book to Create, Write, and Draw Your Own Cartoons https://www.amazon.com/dp/0399580727/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_api_i_WIO4DbR66MK47

Love the attention to detail on the costume, as well as the Kirby energy around Mjolnir/background. Colours are spot on, too.

The pose isn’t working for me, though. It lacks dynamism (one of the hallmarks of Kirby’s works) and the silhouette is muddled. The limbs are twisted every which way and there’s no clear line of action of action through the figure.

If you’ve not already read it, How to Draw Comic the Marvel Way is pretty essential. Some of the specifics are a little dated by modern standards, but the fundamental advice around posing and composition still holds true. Every comic artist should have it in their library.

One of my favorite mini's from X-Force. If you love his work check out Secret War By Brian Michael Benis and Gabriele Dell'Otto About Nick Fury finding out about the "tech" villians and who is bankrolling them and their gear. Just as amazing.

I think in this case it has to do more with him practicing that style and seldom deviating from it.

Aw, it lost what I wrote in the post:(

Anyway, the script has been written by John Ayliff, author of Belt Three, and concepts are on the way.

The setting is Scifi, with a few unique twists that we can't spoil right now:)

I'll start to work on the panels shortly, the concept phase will be finished soon.
