I have looked high and low for useful information and techniques related to my field of Sculpture in the Entertainment Industry. So I was thrilled when I came across John Brown's Gnomon Workshop Sculpture series. He provides clear, practical and efficient lessons learned from his many years of experience. John teaches a process from scratch that will benefit everyone from novice to professional and will be helpful to an artist even beyond sculpture. Excellent!

Inside “Sculpting Comic Book Style”, John demonstrates how to sculpt a comic book superhero character. Beginning with a special illustrated montage “ORIGINS”, the sculpted character morphs right off the comic book pages into the clay model where the student learns the origins of the character and the importance of creating a backstory for the superhero. Followed by a concept sketch and a scaled illustration, students will quickly learn the essentials of male anatomy through a comparative study, learning how to extrapolate and overemphasize male anatomy to superhero proportions. Other exciting topics include the creative thought process, costuming and sculpting attitude. Developing good work habits for creating these dynamic characters is unveiled step by step.

2 hours of lecture. Widescreen format.
