Comic Art Basics

Can I...

• Can you draw an old car?
  
  
• Can you draw a new car?
  
  
• Can you draw ankles, feet, and hands?
  
  
• Can you draw a horse? A dog? A bird in flight?
  
  
• Can you draw wrinkles in fabric?
  
  
• Can you draw a room filled with furniture from a point of view of:
  
  
  • 6 inches off the ground?
    
    
  • 5 feet off the ground?
    
    
  • the ceiling fan?
  
  
  
• Do you leave space for word balloons?

Well ... um ... sometimes.

"No" to all of those except the last one. And I only leave space for word balloons because I draw them before I draw anything else. It's a tip I picked up from Jeff Darlington.

I draw hands and feet, but I don't think that I draw them very well. I certainly don't draw fingers and toes, that's for sure.

Hell, Rob Liefeld can't do any of that shit, and he's still managed to find paying work somehow.

(No, I don't know why either. It's one of the Great Mysteries of Comics to me.)

cheers,

Is that an anthro horse, dog, or bird in flight?

[aidax.livejournal.com]

Yes, of course! That's why my last webcomic never got any fans - there was no wrinkled fabric in it for me to draw!

[kinkyturtle.livejournal.com]

Yes!

I've never tried to draw an old car, but I can draw a new one.

Ankles, hands and feet? No sweat.

Dogs, birds, cool. Horses -- difficult.

Wrinkles? Yeah.

Can draw the room filled with furniture from all those POVs, but I hate doing it.

The space for the word balloons is the biggest challenge I have.
