How is drawing a superhero book different than other genres?
For me, I get a sense of youthful exuberance when working on superheroes. Especially the iconic ones. This is the stuff I grew up reading and now I am creating it. It is also difficult because you have to be mindful of everything that was done before you. Other genres, such as fantasy, make me feel more like an illustrator than a comic-book artist. They both have their merits. How did you create new costumes for the Excalibur characters? I try to figure out what the character is all about and what they do. I then try and incorporate those ideas into the design. I always try and come up with something that I think looks “cool.” Unfortunately, I am not always successful. I think the law of averages catches up with you when you are designing the volume of characters I am. Never be satisfied. Once you become complacent you get passed by. I try to draw like I am constantly fighting to keep my job, which I am. What/who do you use as a sounding board? For serious art questions and opinions: T
