I picked this book up for review and I want to emphasize that the opinions expressed in this review are not influenced by any one in any way shape of form.This book is primarily targeted for children, but I feel as if older dc comic fans who love to draw might get something out of this too. The book mainly shows tutorials on how to draw DC heroes and villains from the animated world not the comic books I should point out. The tutorials are actually not very hand holding. It shows you the outlines and then how to fill in the details in 3-4 more panels. There is a not a lot of description on how to go about the drawings but if you have any art experience, I do not think you really need all that. Which makes me question whether or not this book should actually be targeted to children.There are individual characters to draw in addition to certain action scenes . Each character model comes with a little bio on their background which is a plus. The book is long, and if you have experience in drawing then this will definitely get you your money's worth. However, I do not recommend anyone without any art experience to tackle this. This is not intended for beginners in any way.Other than that, the book has a lot of illustrations to do and can really help an intermediate illustrator hone their skills in animation drawings. BengirlxD approved.
I just want to give a heads up to anyone who's looking to get this book ...This book is definitely a great starting point if you want to use it for character design reference for your own animation / illustration projects. However , I must say that this book feels like it's missing a little something , for example the Author of this book could have just simply added what animators call a " Turnaround Sheet " ( which is basically a model sheet that shows all different side views and angels of a character ) plus a " Character Attitude Sheet " ( which shows off a characters body movement , style , or traits ) but nevertheless it's a good book to add to the collection !!!
While the book was geared for kids, I was really excited to try this out for myself. As a comic fan, I have always wanted to try to draw superheroes for myself and this books walks you through step-by-step to create some very cool pictures. On top of the characters that you have heard of, there are also some great additional characters and scenes too.*I received this for review - all opinions are my own*
This book is great for all comic book fans. One of the great things about Superheroes and comic books is the ART. This is a fun "how-to" book that doesn't get old. There is a lot here so this will last for years. I need to keep my kid busy without turning on the TV or computer!
I thought this was a very informative step-by-step guide to drawing DC characters. Even people who can't draw can easily follow this guide. It has just about every major player in the DC universe. My boyfriend was actually very glad they included Nightwing.
Bought this for my 10 year old grandson. He loves to draw action figures. He told me this book is really nice and the characters are easy to draw.
Fantastic condition.
This is a great book if you have kids who want to learn to draw their favorite superheroes - it's a really nice activity book!
