Draw The Incredibles Comic Con sketch • Step by Step • Big Guy and Rusty influences
One of the great creator team ups was the series Big Guy and Rusty the Robot by Frank Miller and Geof Darrow in 1995. Darrow's work is other worldly and Miller serves up a story where Darrow can spread his wings and show his immense talent. The detail and scale of his work sets a new standard in comics. Each panel has so much information and sometimes the viewer can get lost in it all. The color work allows us to focus on the line work. It never gets dark or muddy. I'll take look at more Darrow works as well as Millers in future episodes. I am creating another comic cover commission. The Incredibles are fun to draw and I always try to bring as much of ME into any illustration I do.

John Romita Sr is an icon. The work that he did was on most of the comics that I read as a kid.

John Byrne and Terry Austin did a historic run on the X-Men in the early 1980s. Most of the Marvel movies about the X-Men are heavily influenced by the stories they illustrated and co-plotted with Chris Claremont.

      Thanks so much! I try to do a variety of sketch work on the channel. I like going out and drawing from life as well as cartooning from my imagination. I do digital and traditional illustration. If you see a popular character, I just check if the costume is pretty close to correct. All the posing and situations are mine. I try to give viewers the best experience of how I work at conventions.

    I bet they wouldnt mind you sketching in-store. In fact, maybe you should talk to the manager and pitch setting a table like the conventions. Either people will be into it, or they'll ignore you and you'll get to work in peace! Those stores usually have a pretty dead atmosphere, no pun intended, and plenty of space. It might be cool to add something engaging and creative for a few hrs in store. The right manager would dig it. Nothin to lose by asking
