slightly longer than 30 min, we finish off our lesson on Steve McNiven with the debut of the Sentry, from The New Avenger #10.  at first, when the Sentry debut, i thought “what a weak character!”  but looking back on him, it’s actually impressive how Marvel was able to introduce such a brand new and powerful character, then take him away.  as for McNiven, i’m def learning the art of just adding details where it should it go.  don’t be afraid.

next up in my study of some of the great artists these days is Steve McNiven.  i first took note of him back in The New Avengers #7, which is where the below face examinations are from.  from what i can tell, small eyes for eyes, drawing the bridge of the nose and that thing above the lips, and just no fear in drawing line details all adds up to his unique style.

ok, so i’m gonna try out something different for my morning sketches.  i’m definitely still learning how to draw and trying to figure out my style.  so, how better to learn than to emulate some of my comic book artist idols!

first up, Oliver Coipel!  a french artist who i think first started off with the Thor reboot a few years back, he’s also done the major crossover, The Seige.  as you can tell from my copy below, still need to work on my proportions cause i’m skewing!
