Comic book artists are now developing cutting-edge, extreme comic book characters, where heroes are grittier and women are sexier, all designed for maximum impact. Cutting-edge comics venture beyond the traditional boundaries to extreme anatomy, extreme costuming, extreme special effects and extreme methods of storytelling. This guide shows readers, step-by-step, how to draw the radical characters and use the cutting-edge techniques that are the gold standard for designing extreme comics. There are how-to illustrations, which demonstrate the basic comic techniques, as well as show how to create such intense colouring effects as knockouts and glows. Several leading cutting-edge comic book artists also describe how they spin original character designs, many created for this book.

Tiene los matices para que comprendas que es hacer un cómic de estridencia linear en el trazo, en otras palabras no ser del montón.

I personally don’t believe a book exists that can really *teach* someone how to draw, but I still find how-to books useful for learning different techniques and for practicing different styles. I’ve owned several different drawing how-to books over the years but this one is by far my favorite. I actually lost my first copy after many years of carrying it around or keeping it at work with my art supplies until it finally up and walked off (probably into one of my ex-coworkers’ collections but whatever, no use pointing fingers). I bought a replacement copy because after awhile I decided I just missed this book too darn much.
This book is well written, simple, and the steps are shown very clearly. I also very much like the style. If you like to draw and are into instructional/drawing technique books than I definitely think this book is worth having in your collection.
