I’m not really sure if these are any good. Just found them at Joystiq.com. The authors claims that it’s a “a cyberpunk-themed graphic novel” and the first one to be designed specifically for the PSP display.

Drawing Cutting Edge Comics August 14, 2005

Christopher Hart, «Drawing Cutting Edge Comics»
Watson-Guptill Publications | ISBN 0823023974 | 2001 Year | PDF | 31,6 Mb | 145 Pages
Comic book artists are now developing cutting-edge, extreme comic book characters, where heroes are grittier and women are sexier, all designed for maximum impact. Cutting-edge comics venture beyond the traditional boundaries to extreme anatomy, extreme costuming, extreme special effects and extreme methods of storytelling. This guide shows readers, step-by-step, how to draw the radical characters and use the cutting-edge techniques that are the gold standard for designing extreme comics. There are how-to illustrations, which demonstrate the basic comic techniques, as well as show how to create such intense colouring effects as knockouts and glows. Several leading cutting-edge comic book artists also describe how they spin original character designs, many created for this book.
Short Review:
The good thing about this book is that most basic drawing ideas are covered: faces, basic anatomy, and perspective. One of the articles I particularly like is the drawing comparison between different top artists (from using the same reference). It gives an idea of how to develop your own unique style rather than copying someone elses. The focus in the “cutting edge” comic market today is to give a “dark” feeling. Hence inking is exaggerated and skin tones are darker (compare Witchblade to Wonder Woman and you’ll know what I mean). If you’re interested in these aspects of drawing, then this book will give you a taste that no current other book can offer.
Despite the uniqueness of this book, the problem is that book is NOT a stand-alone (all-in-one) guide to drawing “Top-Cow” and “Chaos” style comics. If you are a newbie in drawing, then this book is more eye-candy than an aid to help you. You will have difficulties reaching Al Rio’s level of quality on this book alone. There are little step-by-step instructions or diagrams. Since there are different artists contributing to different sections of the book, it can be a distraction. No offense, but I don’t really think Chris Hart’s artwork is “cutting edge.” It looks rather cartoony as another reviewer said. Hence, I think this book can be better streamlined and edited. In addition, there should be more about shading, more about anatomy and poses, and more about creating impact. I think Andy Smith’s “Drawing Dynamic Comics” has better basics than this book. In fact, it would be good to pick up that book as well because it gives a different perspective from another author. In any event, this book tries to do too much. I would rather have this book dump all the “basic stuff” and dig deeper into the advanced stuff.
