comics inspiration
Dec. 14th, 2016 09:38 amThis has been one of my fave comics drawings since I first laid eyes on it 25+ years ago.
It is a panel from the March 17, 1945 installment of the Buz Sawyer newspaper strip by Roy Crane. I love its clean simplicity and, especially in Buz's face, the way it conveys so much depth and subtlety of expression, so much solid form... with so few lines, depending on the perfect placement and execution of each line. And yet it's a precision that doesn't feel tight or cramped -- it has give and life to it.
I still marvel anew every time I see this!
