This is a master study from the Famous Artist Cartoon Course Lesson 6 Anatomy. It is the cartoon abstraction of the Strong Man illustration I posted last week.

This drawing is a study I did of the cover sheet for Lesson 6 of the Famous Artist Cartoon Course Lesson 6 Anatomy. Drawing this muscle guy from the 1950s was a lot of fun I tried to draw him realistically while exaggerating his pose.

These are some Clark Kent Superman and Batman head studies I did from Kurt Swan's 1981 Golden Book How To Draw Super Heros. Graphite and Prismacolor Pencils in a Sketch Cover Sketch Book. I love the classic comic book look and feel Swan was able to put into his characters. I hope to be able to capture that in my own art one day.

This is a Master Study I did from the 1983 Golden book How To Draw Superheroe's by one of my favorite Superman Artist's Kurt Swan.

This is the Master Study I did of Kurt Swan's initial laying. One of the best features of this book is that it shows all Swan's layins before he completes his final illustration. The grey tone was not apart of Swan's original drawing but something I  added on my own to establish a light source and help me beter color this finished drawing later.

Here is the finished Illustration. The drawing on your left is a photocopy I sent to my teacher Joe Rubinstein. The Orange he drew over Superman's face and neck are to sho me how he would have established his shadow pattern on superman's face. He also drew the orange head as a diagram to show me were the darker colors should have been used on Superman's face. After Joe sent back his drawing over the photo copy of my drawing I cut it out and pasted it in my sketch book so I can refere back to and study from it more later. I may do several more drawings of just Superman's head with this shadow pattern colored in to further reinforce the lesson.

This is another Master Study I did from the 1983 Golden Book How To Draw Superheroes by one of my favorite Superman Artist's Kurt Swan.

This is a master study I did of Swan's intial Laying. The grey shadow pattern was not part of Swan's layin but something I added to establish a light source and to help me when I color my illustration. 

The lay in on the top is a photo copy I sent to my teacher Joe Rubinstein. You can see the dark marker where he drew over the top of my drawing. Joe was showing my how he would have change the angularity of the leg and added some overlap to the figure to make him look more dynamic and muscular.

Then after Joe sent me back his drawing over the top of my photo copy I cut it out and pasted it inside my sketch book so I can refere back to and study from. I'll probably redraw this mannequin a few times to reinforce Joe's lesson.

This is a Master study I did of one of my favorite Superman Artists of all time Kurt Swan. This drawing comes out of a 1983 Golden Book Titled; "How To Draw Superheroes." My teacher Josef Rubinstein told me about this book and suggested I draw every illustration in the book so here it goes...

This first drawing is a Master Study I did of Kurt Swan's Laying. I think being able to see Swan's mannequin is one of the most helpful and interesting aspects of this how to draw book. The grey shadow pattern is not apart of Swan's original drawing and is something I did to establish a light source on the figure for when I color it.

This is the final Completed illustration. I added all the color to make things fun and work on my skills as a colorist.

A Master Study from one of my all time favorite Comic Book Artist John Buscema. I was reading an interview last night in a comics magazine one of the current artists working on Conan today. In the interview the guy said he loves John Buscema's and Frank Frazetta's Conan but he purposely doesn't look at any of their stuff any more because he doesn't want it to influence his own take on the character and how he draws Conan currently. I thought that is the dumbest most innane idea I've ever heard of. First of all you can't do Conan better that Buscema or Frazetta they mastered it! You don't need to reinvent the wheel. In fact I would do the opposite and study all the Busceam and Frazetta Conan stuff I possibly had time for because that's how you do Conan! Only in comic books do you come across artist who when given an established character take it upon themselves to ignor all previous work go completely, off model and redisgn everything to the liking of their own ego. No wonder the industry is in shambles. Ok Rant over. This is Belit from Conan #72 pg 1 Prisma Colored Pencil and Graphite in a Sketch Cover Sketch Book.

Today I did a Master Study of John Buscema one of my all time favorite comic book artists. I have started a sketch book where in I will be doing nothing but masters studies of Women that he drew. Todays Drawing of Belit comes from Conan Number 88 Pg7.

A Master Study from John Buscema one of my favorite comic book artist of all time. I love the way Buscema would draw his women in Conan with this crazy hub cap looking bras / tops all the time. This is Belit from Conan #88 pg 1. I struggled with this one as I am still getting a handle on how to best color these drawings using colored pencils and markers. I don't particularly like the way this finish illustration turned out as far as the coloring goes but I will improve. Colored Pencils, Prisma Color Makers and Graphite in a Sketch Cover Sketch Book.
