Customer Reviews

Takes drawing to a whole new level...

I love the Hart books because they seem to be an extention of the book "How to draw Comics the Marvel Way"..I think this guy must have read Marvel Comics and is showing us how he draws those Super Hero Women..It's covers everything from how to pose to how to place the figue on the page and making scenes look dramatic. As a cartoonist I have to say I will borrow heavily on his illustrations for reference and guidance.

Great Book!

When I saw this book at a bookstore, I casually flipped through it, but 5 minutes later I was at the register buying it. This book not only tells you how to draw women like in famous comic books such as X-Men or Superwoman, but it tells you how to layout a page, the cover, and how to draw great action poses and details.It is NOT a step-by-step book, so if that's wat your looking for, go to the kiddie section.it does, however, show you the three basic steps: guidlines, fleshing it out, and then fine-tuneing it.

Great Book!

This is a wonderful book for anyone who wants to draw superhero-comic style women. It starts with the basics of drawing -- how to draw a three-dimensional form. Sections cover the major muscle groups, the face and facial expressions, how to show lighting, and other details of drawing.However, the book goes beyond just "How to Draw" into other related topics -- how to make dynamic action poses, tips on creating costumes, and bits on layout, perspective, and other things needed to go beyond just drawing to actually creating an entire comic.The book has a short section on getting started in the comic book industry, with tips on how to make your submissions look professional, where to submit them, artists' groups, and more.It ends with a pair of interviews with people from the comics industry; one from Marvel Comics and one from Top Cow.All in all, I'd say the book is well worth the money.

Hart is a Great!

This book has great tutorials and of coarse the graphics are wonderful.
