The DC Comics Guide to Pencilling Comics
If you have young people with comic books tucked under their  arms in your library or older folks who still dream of drawing  comics, this is the book to buy. For over 30 years, Janson has  drawn such characters as Batman, Punisher, Daredevil, and Spawn  for DC Comics. For the past ten years, he has been teaching at  the School of Visual Arts in New York. Here, he wisely confines  himself to the fundamentals of penciling faces, anatomy,  clothing, and perspective. This is followed by storytelling,  composition, shots and angles, and movement. The final section  offers advice on getting one's work into the hands of an editor  or art director. Andy Smith's Drawing Dynamic Comics covers much  of the same ground, with similar professional quality. Buy  either, or both, depending on budget and demand.Copyright 2002 Reed Business Information, Inc.
