Heartfelt Calvin & Hobbes Documentary Will Make You Feel Like a Kid Again
What’s your favorite Calvin & Hobbes comic? You have one. Everyone has one: the Snow Goons, or the Transmogrifier, or Spaceman Spiff, or careening through the woods on that little red wagon. Rooted in filmmaker Joel Allen Schroeder’s lifelong adoration of the strip, Dear Mr. Bill Watterson himself doesn’t appear in the documentary, but he doesn’t really need to. Watterson’s career also offers Schroeder a vehicle to explore the evolution and current state of comic strips. Photo courtesy DMW Press As a cultural artifact, Calvin & Hobbes is inseparable from its medium. But Calvin & Hobbes has neither waned along with newspapers, nor carved out a digital home alongside strips like Doonesbury. This last choice is among the most controversial of Watterson’s career, and one that’s set him at odds with many of his contemporaries.

Copper - Step-by-Step
After finishing up the pencils, tightening up the dialogue and any difficult-to-manage shapes (fine details) with the pencil, I use a 03 Staedtler Pigment Liner pen to letter the comic. Microns are also a good choice, although they tend to rub off a bit when erasing over the lines. I prefer to hand letter my pages because I like to have control over each image's composition in the drawing stage. Since dialogue takes up so much room in a panel, I treat the letters like images. I also like it for the more organic control over the volume and flow of the characters' dialogue. After the lettering is finished, I move on to the panel borders. The trusty old Hunt no. 102 Crow Quill nib pen. I began using the crow quill in middle school, when a guy at the local art store told me he was Rob Liefeld's friend, and that Liefeld used these babies to ink his pages. I make my way down the page from left to right, not necessarily in order, but in a way I can avoid running my drawing hand over the ink.
How to Draw the Head From Any Angle | Stan Prokopenkos Blog - StumbleUpon
The Basic Forms To draw the head from any angle you must first understand its basic structure. Look past all the distracting details and visualize the underlying forms. This ability to simplify can be applied to the features of the face, but when starting the drawing you could look even further. Ignore even the features and simplify to the most basic form of the head. I use a method taught by Andrew Loomis in his book, “Drawing the Head & Hands”. The head deconstructed into its basic forms, is a sphere as the cranium and a block as the jaw and cheek bones. A Sphere as the Cranium The sides of the head are flat, so we can slice off a piece from both sides of the ball. A Block as the Jaw and Cheek Bones Attach the shape of the jaw. Constructing From Any Angle Step 1 – Determine the angle of the ball The angle of the head is established at the very beginning of the drawing with the ball. X Axis - The up and down tilt is established by the angles of the horizontal and vertical lines in the oval.

These are awesome! I love the style. And 'Cho the one that I want' is one of the very best puns I've ever heard. Bravo. (Deleted comment) That's not Hermione's cat. GODDAMN YOU KNISLEY I have no room left on my walls, and yet I want these. so very bad. Awesome, so are you! 桜の季節だし、地震でみんな京都に押し掛けているので、予約は早めにしないと。 When I get my own home there will be a room whose walls will be devoted to nothing but these posters. Fred's shirt on the fourth poster reminds me of that Family Guy scene where Peter has to kill a whole bunch of people on a plane, because he's the temporary grim reaper. "We like being alive, we like being alive. thats Cedric. These are astonishing and wonderful. Boobs and Showtunes! Amazing, I am floored at how detailed, funny, and original these are! seriously, this is amazing. These are amazing!! The last view of Vernon Dursley in the third poster absolutely slays me for some reason. In conclusion, YES, MORE POSTERS PLEASE. Oh dear god, these are fantastic. Oh my god, PLEASE make more!!
