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.

Hello, Brute Force!

I’ve pulled a few select covers from my personal collection to offer them at a pledge level that includes both Drawing Powerful Heroes Vol. 2 hardcover, and the Blue-Line Drawing Guide. Four great covers are still available, including Ghostbusters, Turok and John Carter.

The cover shown here, one of two Turok covers available, features our hero about to be dinner for a voracious raptor! But I’m still betting on everyone’s favorite dinosaur hunter to win the battle. This rare piece of original art can be yours when you pledge at the $1,200 level. 

These covers are obviously one-of-a-kind originals, so get one before they’re all gone!

Hello, Brute Force!

As our campaign rolls on, you already know you can get the awesome Drawing Powerful Heroes 2 hardcover, and the Blue-Line Drawing Guide. But you also have a rare opportunity to get a piece of interior art from the vast array of comics I’ve drawn over my long career. 

Here we have a sweet two-page spread from the Sabretooth mini-series I drew for Marvel Comics. An absolutely ferocious Sasquatch defends the innocent, while the sadistic Wendigo tries his best to tear them all to shreds. This spectacular piece can be yours when you pledge at the $425 level, which also includes copies of Drawing Powerful Heroes 2 and Blue-Line Drawing Guide.

Get it before it’s too late! 

All My Best,
