Professionals I aspire to: David Finch

David Finch is a comic artist with a similar style to Jim Lee, highly detailed and heavily shaded. I've really grown to like this style as it catures the comic book heroes pysique really well. Most of these examples diplay the muscular physiques of the superhero but the image of Hellboy below also displays how baggy clothing can drape over the broad character to make him look really strong without showing off his muscles too much. The drawings he displays are impossible, the veins and muscles popping out of wolverine to the poportions to some of his women, though I would argue David Finches women look more athletic and realistic than many other comic book artists. Either way, the point I make is that both genders are described to the extreme but it does make the art look very visualy appealing, striking and eye catching. It is a style I think works beautifully in comics and one that my work takes influence from.
