Course Description

In this course you will learn how to draw dynamic comic book superheroes step by step. You will work along with me as we break down all the major components that comprise the superhero comic characters that we know and love. You will learn about proportions, anatomy, suit design, foreshortening, rendering, perspective, and how to draw dynamic poses from your imagination. These action poses are essential to creating powerful characters that can tell an amazing story! 

If you want to improve your ability to draw a variety of characters effectively, then this course is for you. The techniques that I will teach you here can apply to all sorts of art styles. Everything from game art, comics, concept art, and even figure drawing. These methods will teach you how to draw imaginative bodies with confidence.

Instructor Details

Robert Marzullo

I currently teach Figure Drawing, Anatomy, How to Draw Comics, and Digital Painting. My primary art programs are Clip Studio Paint, Procreate, Sketchbook Pro, and Photoshop.  I also teach traditional art methods as well.

These courses will no longer be updated. If you want my full courses you can get them on my website at Ram Studios Comics .com

I am also very active on my Youtube channel so reach out if you need help with your art!

My goal is to help aspiring artists realize their potential and break their mental barriers that hold them back from creating the artwork of their dreams. We can all do it with the right instruction and work ethic. That is what I am here to teach my students.

I have been a working professional artist for most of my life.  I have been published in comics, created 3D animation and characters for television, illustrated storyboards for commercials, and owned and operated my own sign and design firm successfully for over 15 years.  

I am also the author of the book "Learn to Draw Action Heroes" by Penguin Random House Publishing.

I now share my knowledge in digital art and computer software through online platforms such as Udemy and have a growing Youtube channel as well. With over 270,000 Youtube subscribers and quickly growing I felt I should create some more in depth content for students wanting to take their skills to the next level.

Well the course exceded my expectation since i have taken a lot of Roberts Marzullo's other classes including the anatomy and figure drawing. My drawings have improved and also i have a lot of his art resources from other classes which also have been great. Also certain poses have improved. The only thing i have got to work is the overall proportions with perspective and forshortening. Thank you !!

By Grant Marven on 10/12/2021

great to see the process. It was helpful taking the dynamic anatomy course first but there was a brief review at the start. Some areas were for digital art users (which I will circle back if I decide to go digital), but there was enough for old school paint and pencil people. I really liked the dynamic poses and fight poses areas. The hand drawing instructions were also great.

I am thoroughly enjoying taking your courses on Udemy.com already I am seeing marked improvement. I am older and retired I have been drawing most of my life. but I never got that dramatic Comic style down that I desperately want in my concepts. I think I am going to be able to get there with your help. Drawing from concept instead of reference photo is my goal.

Sir ,I didn,t expeckted that he will teach this much wonderfully, this course done by that man was the main root of my talent !!! ,my request is he want to add so many videos in this course.I gathered so many informatins for comic writing , styling , a story that make people's mouth to open and a standard artwork but he is the person that I wanted !!!

By Clarissa Zerzuben on 6/12/2020

I appreciate the feature that returns you to the lesson where you left off even if you forget to sign out. I also appreciate progressing through the lessons at my own speed. Because this is just for personal improvement, I am not in any urgency to get through the lesson. It is great learning from people who are teaching their passion. Wonderful!

I've been using a couple other sources of figure drawing courses, which are very good. This course, however, is exactly what I have been looking for. His explanations resonate well with me, and I have already drawn some very good (for me) figures.

By Tassos Kyriakopoulos on 4/3/2019

Everything that I expected and even more was available with the course, in most areas. One thing that I miss from most art courses, including this one, is more practical emphasis on the workflow and a good elucidation of what things need to be repeated to grow. Unfortunately, it seems that growth in art is subjective and happens on an individual level, and therefore I'm probably pushing the limits of artistic instruction. But still, guidance from an artist can help to identify these things, and I believe the knowledge is actually there, it's just that nobody has attempted to organize it that way yet. With that said, I found many of the tips left throughout the course to be golden.

By Laurene St Amand on 10/27/2018

I feel I learned a lot in a subject I am new to. I think the lessons will help me in other forms of art. Most courses I watch are not this in depth so I know it is good value for money.

By Daniel Perkins on 8/22/2018

I have been trying to figure out how to draw dynamic poses from imagination for years, and have taken several courses that didn’t really help me much. This course has been different. Robert Marzullo’s simple style and techniques resonated well with me. I have noticed a dramatic improvement to my art by practicing each day what he teaches. I highly recommend this product.

By Shak Man on 7/28/2018

I have the instructor's drawing heads course too and the instructor is very frustrating to follow along with (especially if you are trying to follow along with a pencil and paper). for example when it comes to drawing the back view of the male, he say's rub out what you drew in the male front view earlier, leaving the outline. this is very annoying if you are drawing by pencil as you don't have the freedom to copy your front view image and then delete the earlier detail. The instructor has the potential to be very good but he just seems very lazy at times.
