  Superheroes remain the most popular genre of characters in comics and comics-inspired movies. This book shows aspiring artists how to create a huge array of original comic book heroes and villains. The characters found within these pages are broken down into step-by-step constructions that help the student of comics visualise the basic forms and individual features of comic book superheroes. The subjects covered include: drawing faces; drawing the head from all angles; expressions; light and shadow and its effect on the face; heroes, villains and supporting characters; hands and feet; foreshortening poses; the dynamics of drawing action; sexy gals; talking in speech balloons, placement of speech balloons and captions; storytelling; use of light and dark in silhouettes; superhero environments; and drawing the splash page.
