added comment inProko Challenge My Life Movie Poster - FINAL SUBMISSIONS HERE
This is my first post on PROKO, I am not quite sure whether the way I uploaded the image is correct- but I figured I’d give it a try. My title for the “My life movie Poster” is “young one (find your way through the wilderness)”
I don’t want to say too much, but the idea is to create a story of the boy in the foreground (me, quite a few years ago) who grows up in a wild fantasy world and is set a mission which represents the often challenges of being a grown up and yet not feeling like one. This little boy is thrown out into this fantasy wilderness all on his own with a sword which is much to heavy for him and has to learn to survive- somehow...
OK this is it I'm done now :P This is inspired by the movie posters for 'Loving Vincent', Studio Ghibli films and a bit of Alice in Wonderland. Influenced a bit by the watercolour artist Thomas Schaller. Aiming for a kind of whimsical vibe. I would say I spend most of my time in my imagination than anything else - and trying to paint clouds because they are hard :P Painted with watercolour paint. Please feel free to critique it!
I am in love with the classic painted Hollywood movie poster aesthetic, especially horror ones. It's amazing how busy, bright and colourful they were compared to their modern counterparts! So, I've decided to take every artist's nightmare and the story of my life essentially, and turn it into a classic scary flick. Enjoy! I'm sure you all can relate ;P
Painted digitally from scratch.
Hi, I'm making my own comics, doing all by my own, so because i'm not that good yet, I don't think image or dark horse or something like that its going to buy my stories. So what do you think its the best way to get stories out to the world?. Like any recomendation for pages to upload comics you know? or a tip for someone to get his/her story published by Image or Dark Horse?

How often do you use reference, if you use reference, and what do you use reference for?

Hello David. Would you agree that Bridgman and Hogarth's teachings are great? Would be interested in hearing you talk about them.

Drawing the figure, do you always need to start with gesture drawing then forms to details or you could skip gesture and start from forms to details?
Hi Dave! Here is my question:
How to balance the usage of references and imagination when drawing comics?
For comic book artists the references will help in a lot of situations, but a lot of the drawings will come from imagination. Specially for example for dynamic poses, sometimes you won't be able to find the specific reference you need. Also, some of the best poses come from imagination as they are more dynamic than a reference.
I am wondering, how to avoid using too much reference or not using enough reference? This from the point of view of drawing specifically comics.
PD: I am a big fan of your Youtube Channel. I always watch Monday Night draws. Thank you so much for all your effort and help for us the aspiring artists. You are a great inspiration.
Hi David! Any quick tips on how to keep inking from looking flat? How do you utilize line weights? Thanks!
