They're not just easier to draw — I find them more memorable."<br />I drew so many Spider-Mans as a kid because I knew all I needed was a black, a red and a blue. (Didn't even need a fleshtone!) I think the act of drawing again and again is a big part of why I loved the character. That was my first thought when I saw the new design for the Ultimate Spider-Man - no kid's gonna be able to do red webs on black!<br /><br />And I'm all for super-detailed, naturalistic renderings of superhero costumes. Paul Pope, Rafael Grampa - love 'em. But when it comes to an in-house model, go with the absolute minimum, and allow your artists to express themselves and embellish on top of that.Jameshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14740669500899738381noreply@blogger.com
