Hello. My name is Joshua LaBello. I am a freelance comic book illustrator. The following will be an ongoing record of my practice, discovery, and hopefully my development.

This first page is me studying a Burne Hogarth book. The second page is what I learned from those studies.

Oh, goodie, turns out I`m not the only one who wants to master this style! WooT! I have to admit, I REALLY like what you have going on here...The shading matches, you know your basic muscles (unlike me), so far so good...For future reference, point out if you`re drawing from imagination or observation, and which style you`re interested in (the more cartoonish style or that ruff, rugged Top Cow-ish). It makes a big difference, especially when it comes to muscle definition. Oh, and faces! You are doing too good not to tackle that one a bit more!

K, I`m convinced. Subscribing to this one :) Keep them comming, k?
