Damion Scott, definitely one of my favorite young comic book artists, has illustrated a new book about hip hop cartooning called How to Draw Hip Hop published by Watson-Guptill. the book is written by Kris Ex, a noteworthy brooklyn journalist who has written for Rolling Stone, Blender, Vibe, XXL, Hip-Hop Connection, and many other publications.
i haven't read it yet, but based on D.Scott's breakthrough work on Batgirl and Spectacular Spiderman, i would recommend copping this book, sight unseen.If i can get my hands on a copy (and my birthday IS coming up,hint hint!), i will be happy to supply you guys with a more comprehensive review.
holla!
samax.
I bought the book today, trying my hand at this craft of drawing. My style (which is only a hobby for years) is drawing more realistic, so this is a HUGE challenge to draw in this style. I loved the book and you guys make it really easy to pick up. That was published in 2006, what's the recent work?
