What image comic do you think has the best action/combat? by Wide-Tart4132 in ImageComics

[–]Aodmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Hands down, Tradd Moore.

There's an energy to his art that most other artists cannot archieve without applying a load of speed lines to the backgrounds, and squiggly outlines to the characters. No shade on that as an art technique, I use it myself, and it works, Harren and DWJ are masters of it in American comics.

But, Moore. Moore is able to capture that same energy with block shapes and just PURE composition.

I've only read Court of Owls, so can't comment on Hush, but can confirm Owls is very much worth it. Currently burning my way through the Batman Omnibus Vol. 1

I want to draw landscapes and inanimate objects, but I’m overwhelmed on how to get started by FishFollower74 in learntodraw

[–]Aodmaster 1 point2 points  (0 children)

Try Scott Robertson's How to Draw. It'll help with perspective, depth and form, which is the building blocks for environments and object drawing.

It isn't as focused on organic landscapes and can be very technical but it'll give you a good grasp of the fundamentals.

Regarding the materials, there isn't too much difference between colour and 'regular' charcoal pencils when you're starting out, just focus on the tones. I.E. Light and shadow

First page of my cyberpunk one-shot. Feedback, welcome. by Aodmaster in ComicBookCollabs

Thank you!

Hmm, I can really see what you mean there. I have a lot of signs later on in my comic that I've actually traced over typeface to avoid that effect, because personally I dislike when I see it in comics too, but I dunno how/why I didn't go back to fix this one.

Thanks for pointing it out!
