Ross Campbell

My next artist is Ross Campbell. Like Kevin Radthrone, had wrote books as well. But Campbell leans a little more onto the anime(ish) side, while Kevin is more CGI/digital. I know some people don't like the anime style, but, I like how he draws his chacthers; espically the plus size ones. Most comics and/or artists draw plus size (I say that because fat is insulting) chacthers and african american chacthers unfairly, to the point where they look like monsters. Campbell draws his heavy set chacthers very soft, even their rolls and bulges are soft compare to other comics where you see them, you be totally gross out.

It look like he used some type of manga drawing software. Only ones I came up with are Manga Studio EX Software and/or TOKYOPOP Manga Creator(well, that one would make sense because Campbell did work for Tokyopop for a while, until they try to screw him over and the he quit).

I know I won't do any anime/manga stuff, but I thought body wise, is very interesting. But face wise, I could draw reference here.

Pretty much a cheat sheet in making drawings (and seeing yourself as another race)

Ross Campbell

Ross Campbell is my second artist. Even though his work comes off animeish, I love the fact that he draw his characters all shapes and forms in a non discriminatory way. It look like he did his work in/with manga studios (and maybe some photoshop). You can do the same thing/s in photoshop that you could do with manga studios

All I know is, Ross use to work for Tokyo Pop, but quit and he has several books out and two comic series presently running.

Here are some of his work:
