Average Reviews:
(More customer reviews)If you wish to learn to draw G.I. Joe and other comic-book style characters Gung Ho! Is a book you might want to check out. The author gives a brief explanation of various military concepts (Navy, Marines, Diver), and then draws a single character in an action style pose.
Unfortunately, there isn't anything particularly outstanding or useful in this guide. I was quite frankly hoping for a bit more detail in the various uniforms, and a few more tips on things such as military haircuts, and a tad more realism in the artwork. Some turnarounds would've been nice. (The basic anatomical guides on page 24 were too exaggerated to be useful as the male soldier is drawn so overdeveloped he looks like he-man). Many of the poses are extremely exaggerated, the heads disproportionate (the Navy sailor with the HUGE head comes to mind), and the Lara Croft style Intelligence agent and the ninja looking characters. Sigh.
Highlights: Loved the dogs, what a pleasant surprise! and the marine illo was good.
3 stars. I don't think I'll see myself referring to this book for artist tips, but it's not bad enough to get rid of either as the hardware in the back might be useful at some later date.
