'Comics & Sequential Art By Will Eisner' & 'The Will Eisner Sketchbook' both should be included in every aspiring comic artists educational reference material list.

The best books on anatomy, morphology, illustration, comics (not just manga) and animation are all Japanese, Chinese and Korean. I've owned all the books in the video and I must say only Loomis is still worth buying - they are all good works but surpassed by Asian products. Ps. Also Morpho by Michel Lauricella is excellent for morphology.

Please let us know here your top Asian anatomy / morphology books! I’d love to check them out!

@@RobsonINK Thank you for sharing your "Top 5". If you find the color-coding in the Hampton book useful, you might find "Morpho: Anatomy for Artists" by Michel Lauricella (mentioned in the comment above) to be a suitable companion piece. It is in black and white but uses number-coding for the musculature. I keep both books together and treat them almost as if they were one single reference.

Andrew loomis, Bridgeman, Michael Hampton I have those books but I reckon how to draw the marvel way should be where you start

Good video, Will! Thanks for mentioning Cliff Young! Never heard of him before, and I've been around so long, that's pretty surprising. Good stuff there! Burne Hogarth has a pretty good book on just drapery, too. Oddly, the best reference on clothing folds and such can be found (IMO) in any book by Gil Kane or Curt Swan or Jerry Ordway. Finally, for plotting and pulling things together in an actual comic book, I'd like to give a nod to our mutual friend, *Jonathan Rector* and his MANY thorough KZbin videos.
@RobsonINK11 ай бұрын
Hey, bud! Yea Burne’s book is great but it is a tad much. I really like the simplicity of Cliff’s work and it’s a great quick reference guide. Rector is always a stellar choice! Thanks for watching!!

I drew and wrote a full length comic with no reference, formal training, or research. Marvel and DC homogenized "realism" art style is the death of creativity and comics.

what plan would you create for a beginner who wants to draw comics or would you do that in a video form?, nice vid btw.
@RobsonINK8 ай бұрын
Thanks! I’d say the best thing would be to start filling up a sketch pad front to back EVERY MONTH. Treat art like you’re a body builder and start daily “working out” aka drawing. Find scripts online of comics and start drawing pages or better yet start making your own comic. And most importantly, study those books!
