A year later, after working on our anatomany and proportions, but keeping the poritive feedback, we returned to London Super Comic-Con for futhur advise on our work. Once again we showed or work to Brady Webb, as after his helpful words last time allowed us to improve our portfolio.
Again his advise came in incredibly valuble. As a fan of our colour work, we started to understand that this was a stong area of ours, and the most area needed for improvpent was our figure work,spefically in women. as he states, 'what this seems, is a fusion on western and manga, it dosent always wok but when it does it works fantastically.' this was something I feel I had been doing subconciously, and could work to create to balance and fusion more evenly to gain the best of both worlds. Another comment stated that our female characters looked sexist, and a movement which the comic idustry was trying to break away from. This was a little confusing as my favouraite artists, J. Scott Campbell, draws with a very sexist and idealised out look on women, however, his artwork is undeniably beautiful and he is one of the most sort of artists in the buisness.
He also advised us to use photo and life reference so that our knolwdege on the human figure and perspective would naturally start to appear in our work.
Brady Webb has been one of our most helpful and wondrerfully critical people I've known, and his wise words "Learn the rules before you break them," is exaclty what I plan to work on with my next year.
