Drawing Cutting Edge Comics - Softcover

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.
