How to Draw Facial Expressions - Online Class

Hello My Fellow Artists!

 I just published a new class on Skillshare.  This one is on the subject of drawing facial expressions.

We start with some basic exercises that cover various facial expressions and how to draw them quickly. Then from there we move into a project file where you will draw a villain with an evil grin from a base structure to the refined line work.

Here is the art from this classes project file -

I am working on new classes all the time so if you have any ideas for content that you would like to see please let me know. Your feedback is always essential to me!

Keep in mind that if you bought my course “How to Draw Heads at Any Angle”, this is already included as a free update!

Have an amazing day and never stop drawing!

New Superhero Pose Pack is LIVE!

Hello Fellow Creatives!

I just finished up my next pose pack. This is the 3rd set of 25 hand drawn poses with anatomy reference and basic shadows.  It is my goal to keep making these and hopefully help some of you with your own development along the way.

These are glorified mannequins and are meant to aid you in the process of experimentation and using a variety of poses. I am not saying these are perfect poses.  They are stylized and I take plenty of creative liberties with them.

As I explore more poses I find my own strengths and weaknesses along the way.  This will help me to grow as an artist but also give you part of that process to study from.  Think of these like a mini art book!

Separate Art Files are Included

In fact, with this 3rd set I have included all the poses as separate high resolution images to work with. That way if you don't have Procreate you can still find some use for them. They are all scaled to 4000px and in a JPEG format.

Here are a few of the benefits to these pose packs - 

• Foreshortening
• Compositions
• Idea Generation
• Fast Mockups
• Learn Anatomy
• Learn to Draw Dynamic Figures

Here is a fan art piece of Daredevil that I did to show how you can use these poses to create your comic style artwork.  Hope you like it!

You can get access to these on my Gumroad here - https://robertmarzullo.gumroad.com/l/acqtfe

Thanks for considering my content and good luck with your comic and manga art! :)

Sincerely,

Drawing Comic Style Art - Wacom Intuos Tablet - Narrated

In this video I am using a Wacom Intuos 4 Tablet to pencil, ink, and color this Hulk FanArt. I talk about the benefits of using this type of device compared to the more expensive units such as the Cintiq and iPad Pro. You can accomplish everything you want with the more affordable devices with practice and patience. 

This artwork is created with Manga Studio 5 / Clip Studio Paint which also works very well with this type of device. I have more videos on the use of that program on my channel as well! ;)

Motor City Comic Con is Next Week!!! :)

Motor City Comic Con is next week!  Getting my prints together and working on some sketches to present at the show.  And with any luck my Blackstone comics will get here in time. ( I ordered late like I always do. )  Either way just super excited to get back on to the convention scene.  I want to show people that I am truly serious about my comic book endeavors.  This show is a hallmark to my comic career.  It was my first big show when I was promoting the Aerial and Assault comics that I was part of.  It is pretty much where I left off over 15 years ago.  Yeah, I know....I'm old.  40 is old these days but I don't feel a day over 38!  I stopped doing comics to pursue a business that I started.  And although it was fun and taught me a lot about how to run a business, it also showed me that I needed to get back to my passion.  Creating comics has always been near and dear to my heart.  When I am drawing comics or storyboards I am truly happy.   ( Minus all the changes when you are working for someone else. lol )  Oh well, if I can't draw what someone else tells me then I better pick a new profession!  But I am would never think of it.  I just closed a successful sign business to pursue my art in storytelling.  I wish I had went back to this sooner but no regrets.  Now it is time to dig in and push to that next level of creative skills.  I have to step it up a notch and build my speed and effectiveness.  Then I can push out lots of fun and exciting comics, storyboards, character creations, and pretty much anything that keeps me at the drawing table....or digital tablet!

So I say all of this because to me the shows are a great way of staying motivated in comics.  There is a certain synergy at these shows that you just cannot get elsewhere.  You can't get it from the internet, you can't get it from a coffee shop.  You can only get it at comic conventions.  And in any business there are trade shows.  Yes, I just called comics a business.  And those trade shows are imperative to growing and networking.  So hopefully I meet some new faces, reconnect with some old ones and most of all gain vital inspiration and motivation to create comics!

And if nothing else, there is always Cosplay!  The other great reason to attend a convention near you! ;)

By the way if you attend the show then please stop and by and say hi.  I will be in artist alley May 15th, 16th, and 17th.
