Some bone/knee joint studies from my anatomy sketchbook. And an écorché drawing (écorché is a figure drawing that shows the muscles without skin).

I always had a huge interest in anatomy and as figure drawing and knowledge of anatomy are closely linked I would like to have this category in my blog, too.

Hulk in Manga Studio

Friday, April 23rd, 2010

“Manga Studio EX 4″ is my favourite drawing application. I just wish they wouldn’t have called it Manga Studio for the American and European market but left it’s original Japanese name “Comic Studio”.
Besides its misleading name it’s a great tool for all kind of comic or pop art drawings. It’s a really intuitive tool with great drawing features like stroke-in and stroke-out and a line-drawing correction that helps to avoid shakeiness. And if you choose to draw in vector mode you have a lot of control over your your artwork.

I did these Hulk drawings in Manga Studio.

The hand detail shows how a line can intuitively be manipulated – without any bezier handles like for example in illustrator…
