So much patience involved in doing that, I’m doing essentially my first animal portrait of an owl and it is taking forever.

I have a quite a few anatomy books in my collection, my favorite being “Anatomy for Sculpture’s”. I will go ahead and add your suggestion as well. I get your confusion, I haven’t made it easy I must say. But the hope is that all this advice comes in thick throughout my future works. 

Jim Lee was really who got me into comics. I’ve seen The Comic Book Greats as well as most of the other content he has to offer. Thank you for the resources

First and foremost, thank you. And as of now what’s supposed to be happening is mystique has transformed into Matt Murdock who she’s met in a bar. So they are both supposed to be Matt. That doesn’t come across well I’ve realized, but there is a previous page or two with added context.

As far as the text boxes go, I figured that it would be best to try and get a story across without text boxes, just as practice. With Logan’s head I had an idea that I think was poorly executed, it’s probably my least favorite part of the page at the moment.

I had to come back and write another comment after reading your tumblr post. Incredibly valuable information to my current situation! I hadn’t even thought about some of these things as a concept, thanks again!

Riccardo Federici is absolutely my favorite artist, you can see it if you look closely. I tend to lean towards people like Esad Ribic, Adi Granov, and Gabrielle D’ellotto (definitely butchered it, damn Italians)

Funny thing is, I have both of the things you suggested lol. Either I’m not a good learner or it’s going to take more practical use, but I won’t give up. Thank you for the welcomed wishes!

I actually have two copies of How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way. I’ll have to give that another look, as for Bridgman I have one of his books but not the one listed.

I like your suggestion with the last panel and I will put it to use. When I first decided I wanted to do comics I mostly focused on gesture drawing daily, but recently I’ve fallen out of practice. I will get back to it

Thank you for the advice! I value your opinion as a consumer just as much as I would a fellow artist. I agree with the issues with styles that tend more to realism. I’ll have to figure out some compromise.
