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!

What do you get when you take two legendary creators in Karl Kesel and Tom Grummett, then mix in ungodly monsters, sinister aliens, and a team of adventurers? You get Section ZERO! Returning to the characters and concepts from their first successful Kickstarter, Karl and Tom continue the adventures of the Team That Does Not Exist. They are joined by such creators as Erik Larsen, Steve Rude, Aaron Lopresti, Ron Randall, Leila del Duca and more, who will provide pin-ups of their characters teaming up with members of Section ZERO. We urge you to pledge to this awesome campaign: http://bit.ly/2Hi4y2e


Another cool Kickstarter, WRITHE: The Dark Art of Steven Russell Black, is a collection of Steven’s work from the last 18 months. His book will include a selection of his drawings, paintings, and process images. Link: http://bit.ly/2IV76Wa



Who doesn’t love lobster? We sure do, especially with some garlic butter. But this is no ordinary lobster, so you should check out this great Kickstarter from Claire Connelly and Erica Schultz. STRANGE TAILS is a comic about Eve, an oversized alien lobster fighting for freedom! Tasty, no? Link: http://bit.ly/2Hhz0t4
