On his blog, former Marvel Comics editor-in-chief Jim Shooter has been discussing the possible effects of the Disney / Marvel merger. One of the ramifications being eyed is the possibility of Disney ending art return — the practice of returning original art to creators so they can collect it or sell it.
And, of course, we’ve already discussed here the possibility of the House of Mouse cracking down on convention sketches.
In furthering the conversation, Shooter has uploaded pages from a couple of contracts — from both Marvel and DC. Although they’re each about a decade old, they’re a pretty fascinating look at the inner world of print publishing.

Kris, Dave and I met for a recording of another Webcomics Weekly yesterday afternoon (you can hear it here). Scott couldn’t join us because of a head cold, but he’ll be back!
The discussion was intersting, but as often happens, I’ve been re-running the discussion internally all night, and I have a few additional thoughts. Luckily, I have the perfect place to share those thoughts. 🙂

Drawing kids involves a little understanding of human physiological development. The drawing below represents a fairly typical progression from infancy to adult. If you were drawing realistically, these proportions will serve you well as you try to represent believable characters at different ages.
