Draw! by Mike Manley
Requirements: CBR reader, about 60 Mb each
Overview: The Best of Draw! Volume One complies material from the first two sold-out issues of Draw!, the "How-To" magazine on comics and cartooning! Presented here are a wealth of tutorials by, and interviews with, the top professionals in the industry! Featured are demonstrations by: Dave Gibbons (layout and drawing on the computer), Bret Blevins (drawing lovely women, painting from life, and creating figures that "feel"), Jerry Ordway (detailing his working methods), Klaus Janson and Ricardo Villagran (inking techniques), Genndy Tartakovsky (on animation and Samurai Jack), Steve Conley (creating web comics and cartoons), Phil Hester and Ande Parks (penciling and inking), and more! Each artist presents their work step-by-step, so you can see it progress to finished form, learning valuable tips and tricks along the way.
This book lingered in my wish list for more than six months because I was too afraid to buy a book with only one review. A month ago I decided to take the risk and bought the book expecting it to be a little less than average. But my opinion changed, as I read one "tutorial", or interview, after another. Among my favorites were Genndy Tartakovsky (Samurai Jack) and Phil Hester (The Wretch).
Dave Gibbon's interview on layout and drawing was interesting but old news for a photoshop junkie like myself. To be honest it would have been a bit more interesting if he went on to discuss story outlines for Batman: Black & White, which he briefly explains in the beginning of the tutorial.
Bret Blevins' drawings of women are nothing short of gorgeous; and they have a form and a rhythm that I absolutely love, but, that said, I believed he could have gone into further detail about the process behind his drawings. If you love Blevins' drawings and wish to learn more about the feel and rhythm behind that style of art, I recommend Mike Mattesi's book, "Force: Dynamic Life Drawing for Animators."
Wrapping up, I believe "The Best of Draw! Vol.1," is a good book and you shouldn't feel discouraged because of one somewhat confusing three star review.
