So why do I study the work by John Buscema?
Because I think he's an absolute master of figure drawing, he draws figure with believable weight, great anatomy and great expressions. The hard thing however is that he was often inked by people who interpreted his work in their own way, so you often loose the beauty of his figures, or they get stiffened up.
It's also a fun excuse for me to read through some of those old comics, which is a lot of fun. I will say that he is a bit classic when it comes to compositions and panel layout. There are far better comic artists out there to study for that.

So why study Gene Colan?
Not that you can tell from my horrible sketch attempt below, but Gene Colan is moody, his characters swim in dark shadows, and he is also great at drawing cards, environments. And on top of that his figure work is absolutely amazing. It's just a shame that the writing wasn't on par with his work. I'm reading daredevil
