Draw Comic Book Action - Lee Garbett

From comic artist Lee Garbett, Draw Comic Book Action is a practical paperback guide for artists looking to bring convincing movement to manga and comic-style characters. Clear exercises demonstrate an approach that starts with drawing the torso, then building the rest of the body around it to create dynamic, believable poses.

Techniques are explained for a wide range of action scenes, from running, swinging and flying through to fist fights, group rumbles and battles. An “Action File” of comic character drawings in energetic poses provides a useful visual resource, supported throughout by colour illustrations from Lee Garbett.
