...Heroes and Villains...(Logo and Cover Studies)...





So you've got your hero and you've got your villain. Like any good recipe, you have put your ingredients together - time for a cover!


BLIND NINJA and LORD of LIGHTNING duke it out!


Using a couple of the characters we created over the first two sessions I sketch up a classic Carmine Infantino style cover layout - one character coming in from the left and the other from the right! As we progress through the cover drawing  I notice I'm getting less comments and interaction from the guys. I turn to see them all head down working on their drawings. My work here is done...

Cover layout 1 - after Carmine Infantino.  
Cover layout 2 - after Gil Kane.


Using a couple of cover layouts the students either used their existing characters to feature on the cover, or created new characters altogether - why not if you've got a spare five minutes!



Cole decided to create a new character - 'Virus!'

Jack's high contrast silhouette - is he hero or villain?!!


The DARK SHADOW squares off against his opponent!

Cole and Fin carrying out Logo Studies...

James - creating...

James's manga style characters fight it out - and logos too!


NEXT TIME - MODULE 2 - 'DRAW YOUR OWN COMIC!'


...and two weeks worth of 'Bite-Size History of Comics!...


- THE ATOMIC AGE -


- THE SILVER AGE -



That's all folks - See you in Module 2!
