Inking heroes to life - Jim Lee


My artist presentation was on Jim Lee, comic book illustrator extraordinaire! He stopped his education in the medical field to become a comic book artist, and boy, did it ever pay off. He has been special ordered for graphic novels with top notch writers ever since, his latest and famous being the Batman graphic novel, Hush (my absolute favorite thus far). Check him out sometime - it'll be worth it.
What I envy most is his perfect fabrication of human proportions and body. Young or old, buff or scrawny, landing a kick or taking a nap, Lee can draw them.-Twin 1

I liked the activity! It did a good job at forcing me to consider his personal style and it made the presentation very entertaining. Lee makes me jealous - his inking has so many tiny details.
