Superhero Creation step 1by *rantz

Cartoons & Comics / Traditional Media / Cartoons / Drawings

Some of you have asked me for some type of tutorial - as I don't have a LOT of time to go into a lot of detail, I thought I would show the basic steps that I do, when creating a new character. Every artist approaches this different, and has steps that they are comfortable with - which works for them. This is the process that "I" go through. There is no right or wrong way to do this. Find what you are comfortable doing, and continue with that - this is just another option to try.

Step 1: Create a base sketch, showing the basic stance, and shape of the character that you are creating. As you can see, this is merely blocking in place holders. These place holders will be changed many times, throughout the design process.

Step 2: add a little more definition to the character - giving it mass.

Step 3: roughing in some basic details - again these are merely place holders, that can be tweaked as you finalize your design.

The next phase we we will clean up the pencils, and define the character in more detail, and add muscle tone, clothing folds, and give the character more depth.

Thanks for this, never been able to draw anything but with this i have done my own version of batman. i'll put it up in the next few days...again thanks.
if i didn't see this then my batman would most likely be a stick man with horns.

for some reason i'm reminded of my old VHS copy of "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way with Stan Lee"

what would you recommend is the best way to get anatomy down? It just doesn't click with me and I feel that my lack of understanding of it is what is really holding me back. What was it that made it click for you?
