How to Draw Spider-Man

Rating:
Summary: A pretty cool little book for your kids.
Review: If you have kids who like reading comic books, (Spider-Man in particular) or drawing cartoon characters, this would be a good book to help teach them a few essentials, and it's pretty easy for kids to understand. Who knows, maybe your kid will some day get a career in the industry, then you can capitalize on the hundreds of dollars you spend buying them comics in the first place. It's a win/win situation...

Summary: A helpful book that lacks a bit of depth.
Review: This beautifully illustrated guide is an introductory book on the basic drawing techniques needed to accurately depict several cartoon characters from the Spider-man universe in their well-known Marvel Comics style.
The information and instructions contained in this book are logically organized and include a list of tools and materials you need to get started, guidelines on how to use the book and some basic information on perspective. It also contains some step-by-step examples on how to draw characters like Spiderman (and Peter Parker), Mary Jane, Black Cat, Daredevil, Venom, Dr. Octopus, Lizard, Mysterio and Vulture.
However, this book lacks information on several topics that include: guidelines on basic figure drawing, head and figure proportions, movements and expressions, comparisons of male and female figure features, and perspective and foreshortening for backgrounds and figures. It also lacks some steps on its step-by-step instructions, better explanations on how to reach the finished drawings and a lot more useful advice on detailing the characters.
Buy this book only if you can't find any other references on how to draw Spider-man.
