Spider-man Comic Book Stye

This drawing style is very energetic since the lines are going everywhere and even overflowing. I really like this style since it creates movement almost in the drawing. This style is pretty easy to replicate as well. First you need to do a rough outline of what you want to draw, doesn't have to be perfect, just remember that this style is focused on the controlled messiness of the drawing. Once your outline is done just darken the important lines and now time to get messy.

What you want to do is shade in or colour all the parts of the drawing that aren't being hit by light. So as you can see in the Spider-man picture, the tips of his head and shoulder are being hit by light, but the chest area is almost fully coloured with barely any white spaces. So you can choose a light direction or just copy the one above (which is the light is coming from behind). When you're shading/colouring just go crazy, but make sure you leave spaces for when the light hits the object that you're drawing. To get the same sketchy effect just try to free up your hand a bit, maybe change the way you hold your pencil, what this does is also makes the lines you draw less rigid and precise.

Unfortunately I don't know the name of the artist but I found got this image from Imgur, posted by a user who goes by the name of  "Wingevil". He has posted more cool related things so feel free to check out his page. Wingevil Submitted Gallary

Digital Painting by Igor

 In order to create something similar, I find that the easiest way is to find something laying around the house (a pot, figurine, plushies, etc) that has a fairly simple design. Or you can just draw the digital painting I have shown you. Now just start drawing a rough outline until you get the proportions to your liking, don't worry if the proportions aren't perfect though, since this drawing focuses on the shading rather than the complexities of the object.

After the proportioning, the fun starts. This is where you start squinting to try and scope out the little shadows or curves your object has to reflect onto your drawing platform. As you can see above every detail has its own shading and colour, and its not hard to create this level of detail for yourself. If you look at the tiny sachets on the painting, the artist just defines the shadows they cast. The sachets themselves are very simple to draw, but the shading is what makes it. Go give it a try! draw something simple except focus on the shading rather than the complexity of the object.

This digital painting was done on a iPad on a application named Procreate without using a stylus, just finger painting. The artist who goes by the name of "icheban" on Imgur, focuses on the little details of Boba Fett creating a nice clean painting.
