Take the first real how-to-section where Stan is talking about building objects and making them solid from simple geometric shapes. And it feels dated, Marvel comics certainly don’t look like this any more (for shame!)Īnyway – heading in to the first section one and – I suspect because I’m older, and I’ve read a bunch of how to draw things, I’m seeing things in the art that aren’t at all explained by Stan but are pretty fundamental concepts. Probably down to Stan’s bombastic stylings where you might want some more thoughtful words from John Romita. It’s a slightly odd book, compared with a lot of other how to draw books. Starting with the grandaddy of them all – How to Draw Comics The Marvel Way by Stan Lee and John Buscema – this edition is Titan, 1986 – so I’ve carried it with me a long time. So I should make the effort, right?Īnd I am. I have an immense and somewhat impressive library of “How to Draw Books” which, I’ll be honest, I’ve barely read.
