A Superhero Addiction




Luckily, came across this thing called "Hand Lettering"..

Yeah, seems that this is the actual-phrase for those cool looking "graphic" letter-design styles..
I used to refer to it as "Typography", sometimes "Calligraphy", but it is actually Hand-Lettering...

Some interesting-articles & reads:

- Fonts: Technicality (here)
- Hand-Lettering Tutorials (by Marzi Pan)
- Creativity-Tutorial (here)

Quotes (for future sketches =) ):

    - Why do we fall? so that we can learn to pick ourselves up.
    - Wind blows the hardest the closer you get to the mountaintop


Hellboy & Wolverine
Was watching a tutorial on "Line-Weights", when I started doodling. The resultant was pretty nice. So, I decided to "detail" it.

Also, tried to create a sketch with the "foreshortening" effect.

I needed an easy character, so decided to go with my favorite: Samurai Jack for this.

Used basic perspective for the sketch and some Hand-Lettering skills, that I recently acquired.

This also gave me a chance to re-use my old aquarelle and usual color pencils. And, some sketch pens.



Btw, before I forget, some stuff that I need to go through, this week:
- Anatomy:  Deep dive (My Drawing Tutorials and revisit Alphonso)
- "How I shade" by Mark Crilley
- Complete 2k6 (Going rather well, I can say)
- Redo D'source.
- Logo/ Section-art for "A Stable World". xD

Was watching some videos by Jim Lee and one particular video by Humberto Ramos sketching Spider-man. So, decided to go for it:





Btw, Favorites, this week:
Music: Linkin Park - In the End (oh wow, such a new song.. Shuddup !!)
Movie: Ex Machina
Tv-Show: Daredevil
Hero [DoTA]: Ursa & Anti-Mage
