Nice Starting Point Some say the drawings are outdated, but those are the comics I enjoy reading. They're not out of date. The foundation and basics are the same. It's a nice starting point. I enjoyed it.
AWESOME!!!!! For anyone that is interested in comics and how to draw them, this book touches on everything that has to do with comics. I recomend this book to anyone that is interested in drawing comics. I suggest that someone that buys this book have a little background in drawing skills.
This is the best book for drawing comics--PERIOD! If you want to learn how to draw comics, there is no better book out there than this one. I got Draw Comics the Marvel Way, and You Can Draw Marvel Characters, but this one is head and shoulders above those other two as far as giving step by step instructions for someone who wants to learn how to draw in the first place, never mind how to draw comics. It is true that his style is old school, but if you're a beginner, just start drawing and worry about styles and schools after you've gotten some ability. Trust me, you'll love it!
This is a great book I love comic books and superheroes. Blessed with a little artistic talent, some story/hero ideas, and no clue where to start I ordered this book a few weeks ago. I love it. Dick Giordano will admit himself that it is not a complete work on every topic covered. But if you have been drawing for years, and are somewhat experienced with recreating images that you have in front of you with a pencil, then this book is wonderful. I am very pleased with my progress and would recommend this book to anyone who considers themself at an intermediate drawing level who is looking to advance their abilities.
Few books I give 5 stars to I loved this book! Infact, I've read it once and am reading it again! The cover art is cheesy, I'll admit, but the interior art is great! Y'know how Christopher Hart's books start off with somewhat okay drawing that just gets worse and worse? Dick's book does just the opposite. He's a living legend in the comics field and his book deserves a high review. This book is worth the cover price!
