description: You are ready, grasshopper. Ready to draw fantastic martial arts comics. Let Sensei Steve Miller guide you. Kung Fu Hustle. Kill Bill . Chuck Norris, Bruce Lee, Jackie Chan. The martial arts are all around us--and millions of children and adults prove that every day, by taking classes in karate, tae kwon do, kickboxing, kung fu, and other martial arts. Now Steve Miller shows how to turn that interest in the martial arts to the visual arts. Hi-Yah! How to Draw Fantastic Martial Arts Comics shows how to capture authentic, accurate martial arts poses on paper. Even beginners can learn how to turn the bodies of their characters into living weapons that kick, punch, throw, block, and chop their way onto the page. A brief history of martial arts around the world and an overview of the tao of drawing are followed by detailed step-by-steps on fluid anatomy, pressure points, punching and hand strikes, jumping, kicks, blocks, throws, weapons, warriors, drawing convincing confrontations and superpowerful combatants.
