Hello, my name is Earl Phelps and I have been drawing for many years.
It was my first time starting school that I can recall picking up a pencil and
drawing. My kindergarten teacher drew a picture of a elephant and had
everybody in the classroom draw it, I've been drawing ever since.
At the age of about nine I became interested in supercharacter comic
books. I was never a comic book collector, I say this because I would buy
a book on the merit of the artwork rather than the characters or storyline of
the book. I drew the characters of the books I bought, but after awhile I
started creating and drawing my own supercharacters, it was more fun.
I made these books for all of those who are interested in learning how to
draw and create their own supercharacters and those who are already doing
so. If only I could have had books like these when I was growing up, it
would have made it much easier for me in learning how to draw
These books have very few words because the illustrations speak for
themselves. This was done to induce you to pick up a pencil and start
drawing. The only way you can learn how to draw is to draw, and that is
the purpose of these books to implement practice, practice, and more practice in
learning how to draw to the best of your abilities.
