Okay, I have 1 month to complete this challenge- called the Ultimate Comic Style Challenge. I have seen several artists try to create their characters in various art production styles- but I have yet to see a breakdown of creating art that is similar to other comic artists- I will plan it like this- for the first round I will pick 10 comic artists I admire- I will try to first to "See" their work, being critical of what I like and what I don't like- remember this is style and there is a logical reason everyone's work looks different. I will then practice breaking down these styles by drawing on top and alongside the images, I will then see if I can create my own character using their identified art styles. I understand this will take longer than one sitting to do since I am biased to what I perceive and that will have to be broken apart to do this challenge justice- or else I am trying to copy a poor comparison or a "Bad Copy" of these artists' works-. The ultimate goal of this challenge is to learn along the way to make my own art better. I will at month-end post all the images I created as one piece. My first ultimate comic art style challenge roster is:
Joe Madureira .. J. Scott Campbell .. Jim Lee .. Humberto Ramos .. John Buscema .. John Romita Jr .. Jason Pearson .. Olivier Coipel .. Otomo Katsuhiro .. Jack Kirby
So this will be a test for me to discover what my legends did effortlessly and hopefully, I can pick up some gems to add to my tool chest, or I can just find out what limitations I have. I will spend 3 days apiece admiring, copying and dissecting each of these great influences and trying my best to simulate their work for one of my characters
Ciao
