How do I learn to draw like the pros at marvel or dc?

Question

I want to learn to draw anime/comic book style drawings. Like exosquad/Ben 10/Generator rex/ Gargoyles and so forth. I know learning just one of these style will put me in a rut. I want to be a success at it so someday I can create my own comic. So how do I get from point A to Point B to Point C.

Answer 1

I would start off looking at characters that I like, then copy them

put paper on top of them and copy the original with pencil, then outline it with ink (a thin fine tipped sharpie or india pen) Erase pencil after you draw in sharp pen lines*



Practice rendering it EXACTLY how they achieve whatever aspect you're looking for, say how they show shine on hair/eyes, how they make muscles bulge etc.

That I know of, lots of anime artists use illustration markers, available at Blick or art stores, or they use Prismacolor markers.

This isn't the creative step, but if you can achieve the same looks pros. use, you can apply the same techniques to your own art



Then I would go to Deviantart.com and look at people's anime (influences) and gather my own ideas for a character, then I would draw him/her in just in lines (with a fine tip), THEN copy my lined drawing with a scanner. That way if and most likely you will mess up on your first attempt, you can still work with the exact drawing, keep doing it until I'm satisfied with it's look. Then finally practice drawing emotions, reactions, action sequences.



It wouldn't hurt to look at youtube to see how people apply marker work. In general, usually but not always, you put the lighter colors first, followed by darker.

Good luck!

Those are good questions. (I thought it was eight heads). It's funny, but I was lying in bed the other night, and in my imagination, I pictured a few weird characters, and wondered if I could draw a good rendition of what had been in my imagination. I haven't tried yet. But that's the whole thing. I should have tried already. And I should have drawn much more than I have over the past week. Like they tell prospective writers....."write , write, write." Same for artists...."draw, draw, draw." Good luck.
