'Comics & Sequential Art By Will Eisner' & 'The Will Eisner Sketchbook' both should be included in every aspiring comic artists educational reference material list.

Great books! If I did a top 10 they’d be on them

What are your other three from the ten? 😉

"Framed Ink" by Marcos Mateu-Mestre is a fantastic book that deals with composition.

It’s a brilliant book! If this was a top 6 it would have been next.

The best books on anatomy, morphology, illustration, comics (not just manga) and animation are all Japanese, Chinese and Korean. I've owned all the books in the video and I must say only Loomis is still worth buying - they are all good works but surpassed by Asian products. Ps. Also Morpho by Michel Lauricella is excellent for morphology.

That 3 colored arm triceps diagram not in my Hampton book...eventhough the front cover the same

I’ve had How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way and a whole slew of Burne Hogarth books on my shelves for maybe 30=40 years now.

Bust em out!

Good video, Will! Thanks for mentioning Cliff Young! Never heard of him before, and I've been around so long, that's pretty surprising. Good stuff there! Burne Hogarth has a pretty good book on just drapery, too. Oddly, the best reference on clothing folds and such can be found (IMO) in any book by Gil Kane or Curt Swan or Jerry Ordway. Finally, for plotting and pulling things together in an actual comic book, I'd like to give a nod to our mutual friend, *Jonathan Rector* and his MANY thorough KZread videos.

Hey, bud! Yea Burne’s book is great but it is a tad much. I really like the simplicity of Cliff’s work and it’s a great quick reference guide. Rector is always a stellar choice! Thanks for watching!!

There's the Morpho books by Michel Lauricella and Drawing Powerful Heroes Brutes And Babes Vol 1&2 by Bart Sears.

Andrew loomis, Bridgeman, Michael Hampton I have those books but I reckon how to draw the marvel way should be where you start

You can definitely start with that book, for sure!

what plan would you create for a beginner who wants to draw comics or would you do that in a video form?, nice vid btw.

Thanks! I’d say the best thing would be to start filling up a sketch pad front to back EVERY MONTH. Treat art like you’re a body builder and start daily “working out” aka drawing. Find scripts online of comics and start drawing pages or better yet start making your own comic. And most importantly, study those books!

great video!!!!

Thanks for the tip. His photographs are masterworks :). Meanwhile my in-game photos are my own compositions within another's artwork -.- Keen to see how/if you develop your channel. I'd love to watch you carry out an analysis of any kind of work by any kind of artist. There's a flood of 'TOP FIVE TIPS FOR X' videos, I'd love to see more substantial thoughtful work by professional artists@@RobsonINK

When it comes to Bridgeman, every comic pro I've ever talked to has said don't read him, just copy his diagrams.

Oh really? I wasn’t aware of that!

I drew and wrote a full length comic with no reference, formal training, or research. Marvel and DC homogenized "realism" art style is the death of creativity and comics.

By the weeds I meant my time studying how to draw. The hustle to get as good as I possibly could and train myself to be a better artist. I do not mean other publishers!
