COMIC ART CORRECTIONS: Hips Don't Lie: The Problem... →
comicartcorrections:
The comic industry has serious issues with women’s hips. Of all the parts of the anatomy that comic artists get wrong, this one is the big one. It’s huge. […]
Holy crap on a stick THIS. So much this!
Hips are HARD. I didn’t realize how much trouble I had with them before taking my life drawing classes. It took lots of unlearning, lots of drawings, looking at...
donttypeangry asked: Hey, just wanted to say that your blog is awesome!

By the amazing Mark Brooks.
I would like to submit this as evidence that what we’re asking is NOT impossible, and that it can already be found if you look hard enough. What we’re asking for is more of THIS. Mark’s Rogue exudes power and sex appeal in equal measure. She still...
Anonymous asked: As a non-comics reader, the impression I get of the genre is that while over the years it has gained readers that aren't teenaged boys or sexually and socially immature boy-man stereotypes, that demographic still makes up much of its readership base and its artistic conventions still reflect this. Do you think fixing the genre's artistic DNA is possible without dragging that portion of...
