Bart Sears' Drawing Powerful Heroes: Brutes and Babes V2!

Created by Bart Sears

We are back with the second volume in Bart Sears’ Drawing Powerful Heroes series of definitive, how-to-draw books by Bart Sears. This second volume will be a massive, 144-page oversized hardcover, and continue one of the best how-to-draw series ever published. Completely written and edited by Bart Sears, this edition will be perfect for beginners and more advanced artists alike, as well as anyone interested in the art of and creative reasoning behind drawing powerful comics. Acclaimed comic artist Bart Sears taught an entire generation to draw with his Brutes and Babes column in Wizard Magazine, which was the bible of the comics industry for a decade. In the pages of Wizard, Bart presented dozens of drawing and storytelling tutorials, providing an expansive education in comic art and illustration.

Latest Updates from Our Project:

Fulfillment...COMPLETE!

Hey Brutes and Babes,

All of us here at Creation.Ink are very happy to be able to send this update. It was a rocky road from start to finish on this project but DPH2 is now officially fulfilled. All packages have left our warehouse and are winging their way to all of you (if you haven't already received yours)!

There are still a couple of sketch rewards that need to be completed and will be shipped separately but all books have left the nest.

Thanks for hanging in there with us on this campaign, we appreciate your patience and support. Enjoy your books (and extras) and, again, be sure to tag Bart when you post drawings online so he can chart the progress of his "students!"

Hey Brutes and Babes! 

The other day, we mentioned the books had arrived to our fulfillment warehouse and our crack squad was gearing up to get everyone their packages. We thought you guys would like a peek at the goodness coming your way...minus the secret extras we're including. 

Keep an eye on those mailboxes and get ready to get to drawing!

The update the world has been waiting for!

Hey there, Brutes and Babes-

Remember in our last update, we provided all of you with a shipment schedule to let you know when the books were supposed to arrive at customs in Los Angeles, then be transported to our fulfillment warehouse in upstate New York, then to finally be sent out to all of you? 

Turns out, those dates were a little off. The slow boat from China was a little slower than expected and the customs process took a bit longer due to reduced staff because of the pandemic.

The good news (and we are VERY happy to finally be able to say this) is that the books are now safely in our warehouse and fulfillment will begin this week!

As you may have heard, good things come to those that wait and you'll all be finding a little something extra in your packages; our way of thanking you for your patience over what has been, in a multitude of ways, a very challenging campaign.

We hope this volume of Drawing Powerful Heroes helps guide your artwork to new heights. Be sure to tag Bart in any drawings you post online, he'd love nothing more than to see what all of you are creating.

Quick note about the Dread Gods download
almost 4 years ago – Fri, Jul 24, 2020 at 05:30:45 PM

Hey Brutes and Babes,

There were several comments from backers that were/are having trouble downloading the Dread Gods: Olympian Edition file we made available on Wednesday. We've double checked things on our end and even uploaded a new version of the file to make sure there were no difficulties in grabbing it.

So just hit that link and download the file from Hightail and enjoy! It should be as simple as that but, as always, we're here if you need more help.

Thanks and stay safe out there.

An extra gift for patient backers
almost 4 years ago – Thu, Jul 23, 2020 at 09:19:00 AM

Hey there, Brutes and Babes!

We're expecting physical copies of DPH 2 and the Blueline Template book any day now and are pretty excited to get this project into the hands of you guys, our extraordinary backers, that have been extraordinarily patient through what has been an atypically rough campaign. 

There's been a lot of talk around the Ominous Press/Creation.Ink offices about giving away something extra to all of you as a thank you for your patience. The initial thought was to send everybody a digital copy of the Blueline Template book. After discussing, we didn't feel giving it away to all backers would be fair to those of you who plunked down your hard earned money to receive the template book.

So we came up with an alternative that we hope you'll all be equally happy to receive. In fact, if you check your email RIGHT NOW, you should already find a download code for Dread Gods: The Olympian Edition waiting for you to click it. 

We hope you guys will enjoy Dread Gods and please: keep an eye out for another update about DPH2 in the very near future. No one is more excited than we are to finally get this project in your hands!
