Create your own jaw-dropping comic art characters who burst off the page with personality and power!

This is the essential, practical guide to creating believable, unique characters, authored by influential artist Sam Hart - comic book guru of over 30 years.

Aimed at young teens and upwards, this must-have guide is the perfect introduction to creating dynamic, memorable comic book superheroes, supervillains and monsters. With step-by-step instructions and skill-building exercises integrated throughout for fun, fast results, you will build your characters from the ground up:

  • Start with a comprehensive introduction to the human form, looking at muscles, movement and amplifying characteristics for a superhuman finish.
  • Give your characters charisma and personality through their facial expressions, head movements and masks.
  • Dress your characters: from spandex to fabric, this section contains everything you need to know to give your superhero their vital, identifying costume.
  • Translate power onto paper (from flight, strength and speed, to x-ray vision, magic and even weaponry).
  • Create believable, dynamic action poses.

Once you master the basics, you’ll move on to advanced skills like creating dramatic perspective, adding narrative and inking to create comic-style tone and shading. Sam also shares special secrets on creating drama and dynamics through layout – a key element of comic book art!

Finally you’ll find advice on ensuring artwork is print-ready with resources including blueline pages for showing your professional-quality work.

With a foreword from John Higgins, prominent comic book artist and writer best known for his colouring work on two of the biggest and most groundbreaking graphic novels of all time – Watchmen and The Killing Joke, this is the must-have guide to bringing your own comic art to life.
