Summary: Drawing Cutting Edge Comics
Review: This is a pretty good book overall if you are trying to learn about new ideas in the comic book art genre. If you are a beginner, this is really not the book for you. There are some "how to" portions on the book for beginners, but as a whole there is very little explanation on most of the topics.
The author has sections on faces, expressions, dynamic poses, etc. but really no explanation on how to create the desired effects. The author does present a section on how to make comic book women more "alluring" and for the most part it is a good chapter. It could use a little more in depth description.
The pictures inside are a good source for reference, but that is about all. He does give some good insight on evolving "trends" in comics art today and he managed to get Al Rio to do most of the art for what I would consider his "important" illustrations. The author has included "interviews" and I use the term lightly, with some Comic artists, and one at the end of the book with Brian Pulido from Chaos! Comics. I'm really not sure why. He seemed to cut them short for space considerations. Because of that, they don't add much.
The section on coloring has some good examples and illustrates the differences he brings forth, but there are NO explanations or how-to. To me it was pretty, but useless.
If you are a beginner looking for help, try another book. If you feel you are beyond the "beginner" stage, you may want to check this book out. It has some nice tips strewn throughout, you just have to look for them.

Summary: Doesn't get much better than this
Review: Two thumbs up! This book blows Hart's previous how to books based on comic art out of the water. It shows examples of correct anatomy, facial expressions, different camera angles, foreshortening, perspective, page design, and genre types. And for those who want to draw beautiful women and massive men this book shows you how. Those basics are a must have for those of you who want to be aspiring artists, because the comic industry is very compeitive. Some of the samples of art are outstanding! This book is for more of advanced artists. It also gives you tips from top people in the industry from TopCow and Chaos comics. The styles shown is this book are how many top artists draw now so if you wanna be a perfessional comic artists I implore you this book is absolutly a must have! I use this book as an everyday reference so it's easily worth it's money and can help you develop that cutting edge you need. DO U ENJOY DRAWING COMIC ART AND READING COMICS AND LIKE TO TALK ABOUT IT, E-MAIL ME.

Summary: HOW TO DRAW TODAY'S COMICS
Review: VERY GOOD BOOK. I AM ALREADY AN AMATEUR/SEMI-PROFESSIONAL PENCILLER AND I FIND MR. HART'S TECHNIQUE REFRESHING. THERE'S NO ONE WAY TO DRAW. IF YOU LIKE A STYLE GO WITH IT; IF NOT MOVE ON. HIS STYLE IS LIKE MANY COMICS TODAY: IMAGE, CHAOS, DARK HORSE. MUST BUY FOR THOSE LOOKING TO DRAW LIKE THAT.

Summary: Draw like a pro
Review: Well, what can I say but Chris Hart has totally outdone his previous books! This book is an excellent source of information with art and tips from pros from company's such as Top Cow and Chaos comics. There is even a small section on coloring with a 2 page comic preview of Bad Kitty (Chaos) at the end. The best book on the market I have ever seen. I myself am a freelance comic book artist and I give this book a 5/5!
