Watchers

I'm Brandon Peterson, and I've been working as an illustrator in comics professionally over a dozen years. I primarily pencil and ink, but I do my own colors on covers and when I have enough time, which isn't that often. I've also written a few series for myself and others in my career.

I'm currently exclusively working in comics with Marvel Comics for another few years, and there I've worked on books like Ultimate Vision, Ultimate Extinction, Strange, Ultimate X-Men, Astonishing X-Men, Magneto Rex, X-Men, and Uncanny X-Men.

I was also VP of Special Projects and Art Director of the now defunct CrossGen Comics, where I worked on titles like Mystic and Chimera. I spent a very long time working for Top Cow Productions, where I did runs on the comics like Codename: Strykeforce, Cyberforce, Ripclaw, Medieval Spawn/Witchblade, and my own book, Arcanum.

I go to a number of conventions over the year, most notably MegaCon in Orlando, Heroes Con in Charlotte, the San Diego Comic-Con, and the Baltimore Comic-Con.

I've had my art appear in numerous publications outside of comics, and I have also done work for video game companies and some TV and animation work as well.

Draw nonstop, learn/study and get extremely comfortable with anatomy, perspective, light (reflective light etc.) and forms, shadows (cast shadows, form shadows), PRACTICE PRACTICE PRACTICE. Study your favorite artists and use their influence from all of them to form a style of your own. I'm not a professional comic book artist but I'm 99.9% sure the advice I just gave you would help you reach your goal.

You wouldn't lose your account. Artists have borrowed styles and influence from other artists for as long as I can remember. Even the old masters!

Just look at the pictures you like and ask yourself what about those pictures is it that you like? Try some drawings in their styles and include those things you like from their pictures. After you've focused on one artists technique and style, move on to another. After you have tried many artists styles you will ultimately end up with a style that you can call your own that has small hints of their work. It's like a melting pot of art.
