Superheroes and Beyond: How to Draw the Leading & Support Characters of Today's Comics comes from a best-selling author of drawing and cartoon books and provides step-by-step instructions on how to develop characters as well as draw them. From the use of light and dark and foreshortening poses to superhero dynamics and action, this goes far beyond your typical 'how to draw comics' approach.

This is a wonderful book. Both my kids are enjoying it tremendously even though they are both at very different levels of drawings (16 & 9). It has a vast variety of examples from simple to complex. Chapter are organized according to themes, both black and white as well as color. An overview of the superhero body give us a intimate understanding of the shape we are trying to create. The examples begin with the basic form lines to the full figure and down to the specific details to create the perfect superhero. The book also includes a chapter on lighting in order to enhance the image as well as a chapter on essential comic book elements for the more advanced cartoonist.
A great useful book for all

I had to pick this up as soon as it came out! Who doesn't love a superhero or at least dream of being one? I've had a few of those dreams but in the future they will be more realistic because after reading this book, it is etched in my psyche. There is a great instruction on drawing face and body as well as a great section on lighting- very enlightening if I can use a pun. Also the book kept me laughing. Funny and entertaining and of course instructional.
