A fine, unfinished piece from Cam.
I love how relaxed his hand is when he works. Relaxation is critical to producing art that lives and breathes on the page, and Cam succeeds at this brilliantly. This is not, btw, the "How To Draw The Marvel Way" of working. Cam draws freely what's in his head without all the meticulous construction that can kill the life in a drawing and make it look far too fussy. I'm guilty of this. Cam isn't. It takes years of work to trust your hand and mind to this extent, and probably an innate knack too. Also you have to have the information in your head to be able to make your faces look like those of actual people, and you can only get that from a great deal of sketching.
Sorry about missing last week. I was off in advertising land unexpectedly. I'm not taking much work from that field anymore but occasionally it does show up and take over my life. I intend to post here at least once a week in normal circumstances. And I've still to really get my feet wet looking through all his stuff, so look for a lot more from me soon.

Seems so easy to change the face expressions with just a few bushstrokes...But we all know it isn't easy at all.
ReplyDeleteWhat i like about this is that seems at the same time sophisticated and primary. It manages to keep the fierceness but still look elegant.
if this is just the tip of the iceberg, i wouldn't leave home for a loooong time! fabulous work. thanks for posting!
ReplyDeleteSophisticated and primary is an excellent way to put it, PalomaJara.
