Héroes y villanos
Leonardo Batic
- Reading
- Try a few of the drawing ideas together, letting the reader choose a character or setting. If the conflict-themed imagery feels intense, pause and talk about which parts they would prefer to change.
- Themes
- Creating heroes and villains: The guide includes heroes and heroines, enemies, monsters and magical beings as subjects for illustration. The characters are presented as material for making illustrated worlds; whether the book questions or endorses particular ideas about heroes and villains is unclear.
- Illustration techniques: The book says it offers rules and techniques for creating characters and imagined worlds, for beginners and professionals. Its stated focus is practical guidance for illustration, rather than an argument about the value of any particular kind of character.
- Worth knowing
- The imagined worlds include implacable enemies, fearsome monsters, witches and ogres, alongside heroes who fight crime with weapons or vehicles. The intensity of any illustrations is unclear.
