WEEK 61: Artists/ Non-artists draw _______ the Jack Kirby way!

**Fygar** · 05-25-2009, 11:02 AM

This was discussed in last week's (awesome) Jaws thread. Pick any character of your choice, and draw them using a method Jack Kirby used.

The Kraken is the one who brought it up, and this is how he described it.

When he did a character sketch, he would draw a fist in one place, a foot in another place and connect them with a figure. I was thinking it might be fun for us to try that. Start with a hand and foot and connect them with no sketch, no rough, no prep work

Seems pretty difficult, but I'm excited to see the outcome. Good luck!

Weeks 1-60 in the spoiler section.

Since this is all my fault and I had the day off work, I guess I'll post my embarrassing results first:

Anatomy and proportion go out the window with no sketch first.

When I was getting old enough to understand that people did this for a living, I thought this was how all comics were drawn. What gets printed were the only lines you put down. I was in middle school before I started doing roughs. I thought that was cheating or something.

I don't know how this will go over, but I found it to b a fun exercise... and just more evidence of how amazing Kirby was.

A hand and a foot, then the rest, no sketching? Hmm...

I really like that Superman one, well done, man! I love the looseness of it. Good work on Iron Fist too!

Okay, this is bloody hard. I'm now on my 9th attempt! Screw you Kraken!
