Comic book school (or things I save to steal later) The way Risso uses little stipples shapes to show light affecting objects



Really starting to dig the way I spot blacks…finding that balance between designed and plausible

Got some color proofs of THE KEEPER and they are gorgeous! @foxeedesign colors are so beautiful in print and added that extra layer of mood to @TananariveDue & @StevenBarnes1 tale…my drawings don't look too bad either!

Some Rodolfo Damaggio to end your week right

As comics get more "widescreen" I've really come to appreciate the sweet, skinny, vertical panels of Miller's DD

we do not spend enough time gushing over how great John Bogdanove is. Great Cartooning skills, amazing draftsmanship and gestures. From a new mutants annual and X-terminators

Urasawa's celebrity portraits are the best

Little Breakdowns of the "hellboy style" made by @TadStones for the Hellboy animated shows to capture the @artofmmignola magic. So great https://t.co/wiUceHtiKC

Let's spend Monday gushing over Barry Windsor-Smith, shall we? This is the closest we will get to seeing how Michelangelo would've drawn comics. Classic draftsmanship and beautiful storytelling
