   WOW!!! those posters are AMAZING. thanks for posting the link!

   Gerry, somebody should ask you to make a movie poster. Classic yun for sure!

   Gerry,
   How’d you ever find this blog site? I’ve never seen these Coching illustrations. This is great, as not only am I fan of Coching, I’m also a Pinoy movie buff. No question, Coching is the greatest Pinoy illustrators, and these posters just goes to prove nobody even comes close in his dynamic action, figures, rendering, and his horses are just awesome. That blog even shows Pinoy superheroes that were not in komiks, Ang Babaeng Sputnik, with Nida Blanca for example, and others too. His features on Filipino Stars of the 60′s brings back nostalgic memories. Even has a feature on Vilma Valera (wow, those longgggg legs), former Miss Press Photography, and my favorite sexy star of that period. I even watched her live at Clover theater performing a song and dance routine. I have to see if he’s got something on my other favorite – Mila Ocampo (mother of Snooky), also a Miss Press Photography. I have the blog bookmarked already. Thanks Gerry and Simon Santos.

   Gerry,
   That is why your blog is my favorite. It’s that never-ending intesting stories and new finds and links that you constantly dig out… plus all the interesting people that comment on your blog.
   Coching’s “action” illustration definitely has no peer. Like a great sports photographer, he catches the action at it’s peak. He retired still seemingly at the height of his career. In retrospect, it was a good move, so we never have to see bad illustrations by him had he kept illustrating in his decline. I don’t even want to look at Redondo’s, or Alcala’s later work. Every Coching illustration one sees seem to be better than the last.

   Pat,
   First there has to be a movie to make a movie poster. Gerry, did I hear correctly that Wasted was going to be made into a movie?
   Rod

   Thanks very much Rod, for your kind words. There are many artists whose work declines with age. There are a rare few whose work becomes better. Tony DeZuniga for example. I have no doubt that Coching was another. When Orvy Jundis commissioned Coching to do several illustrations in the 70′s after he retired (one of which is the Lapu Lapu vs. Magellan illustration), he was drawing far better than he ever did. I’m confident that had he never retired, we would be seeing spectacular works from him throughout the 70′s and even the 80′s.

   Rod, Wasted the Movie has a long troubled, but amusing history. The “Making of The Wasted Movie” movie would probably make for hilarious viewing. It’s being directed by an independent director who is a friend of mine. Since there’s zero budget for it, it moves very slowly. Recent development is that we have finally gotten someone to invest in it so things should movie a bit more quickly. Hopefully.

   Hi Gerry!
   Thank you for the link. Appreciate it very much!Working for the Tony de Zuniga movie posters. My dad met him last year when he held his show at Crucible.

   I have to agree with what’s said about Coching. In fact, I am very puzzled why Anak-ng-Kapre insists that Coching was lacking in dynamism in his drawings. What I see is the total opposite. Coching’s work remains timeless — you can compare it with the current best comics artists and they still hold up, and even surpass them.

8. Rod Samonte on February 29th, 2008 2:30 am

   Robby,
   I definitely agree with you. Coching had no peer in what I call “action” illustrations. And many of his stories involved a lot of action, Condenado, Taga sa Bato, Talipandas, Dumagit are examples. In American comics I would rate Joe Kubert, Neil Adams, Jose Luis Garcia-Lopez and John Buscema at the top of the list in action drawing, and I think, Coching would compare with them favorably in a “hand-to-hand” combat(excuse the analogy). Coching’s advantage also lie in the fact that he did the complete illustration, pencilling and inking, which are the illustrations we see today. Oh, maybe a few were inked by Javinal that we didn’t know about. With the four aforementioned illustrators above, except for Joe Kubert, it’s quite rare to see them inking too.

   Gerry,
   Actually when I said decline, both Redondo and Alcala were cranking out comics, I think, for survival purposes of making money. I definitely think that either would have done their best work even in their old age had they put their minds to it. Redondo turned to oil painting and had a few exhibits here. Alcala stayed with comics but his work particularly in the daily three-or-four-frames strip of Spiderman was horrible, quite possibly because of too much work, so he dropped it, or maybe he was dropped immediately, and was replaced by Floro Dery, who did a better job. Thanks to the world of animation many Pinoy comics illustrators, including Alex Nino and Fred Carillo, gravitated towards it, and were saved the ignominy of having to do bad work in comics for the sake of making money.

   RobbyV:

   Just in case you haven’t read my response to your message at PKMB, here it is:

   RobbyV:

   I think ANK’s comments re: TAMA, is in relation to STUDYING DRAWING. Meaning, learn the basic of anatomy and other related things on drawing, rather than NOT studying them.

   My interpretation may be wrong, but this is how I perceived this statement, and I think it is a very sound one.

   And I still say that COCHING is one of our best komiks illustrators because what I see made me feel good; his work can exult my spirits; and compared to some illustrators who didn’t take their art seriously, Coching, Redondo and Alcala – really worked hard to get where they have landed – on a high pedestal in the local komiks, and even abroad.

   Specially Coching. Despite the fact that he didn’t do any art abroad, some westerners (Al Williamson is one) did a little PILFERRING from his work.

10. Gerry Alanguilan on February 29th, 2008 7:21 am

    “Thanks to the world of animation many Pinoy comics illustrators, including Alex Nino and Fred Carillo, gravitated towards it, and were saved the ignominy of having to do bad work in comics for the sake of making money.”

    Hello Rod! Well, I wouldn’t exempt Alex Niño right away. Have you seen SUNN? (2003)It’s probably one of Alex’s worst comics works, compounded by the fact that he was probably coerced to draw it in the manga style, probably convinced it was the “hot” thing today. He doesn’t do manga very well, and he shouldn’t even have attempted because that’s not what he’s good at. Alex probably realized this, and towards the end of the comic book, the old Alex slowly started to creep back in the drawings.

    Since that comic book, Alex finally embraced his own uniqueness by once again creating some mind bending comic book work that he does so well in things like God, The Dyslexic Dog and his most recent, The Orc’s Treasure. (2005)

    As for Coching, ANK’s argument about Coching is an old one. I’ve disagreed with him before, and nothing really has changed. Coching clearly knows how to draw, that’s beyond doubt. The appreciation for his work goes beyond the mere technical skill. His work has represented the cultural image of “The Filipino” for a couple of decades, probably even longer. The body of his work is Philippine art at its height because it was a true and honest artistic expression of who we were as a people during that time.

    I’ve read enough foreign comics, and I do have to say with much pride, that I’ve yet to see any non-Filipino comics artist, no matter how good they are, match Coching’s dynamism and action. A simple standing figure for Coching seems bristling with action, ready to lash out at the last minute. And I think that’s incredible.

11. Rod Samonte on February 29th, 2008 7:33 am

    Gerry,
    Agree akong lahat sa sinabi mo kay Coching.
    Actually, no I haven’t seen Sunn. Maybe I shouldn’t even look at it. Hehehe. I want to remember Nino for his excellent work.
    Rod

12. Reno on February 29th, 2008 9:56 am

    What a coincidence! I just discovered the same blog just the day before you posted it here! I was searching for info on the vaguely remembered Batgirl & Robin Pinoy B&W movie, then got led to a “Batman Fights Dracula” review (also a pinoy movie from the B&W era), and then got linked to a “James Batman” movie (a team-up of Batman and James Bond, where Dolphy plays both characters), and then eventually ended up on the video48 blog.

    Even though I didn’t find the original info I was looking for, my search still turned out to be very rewarding. :)

    And Rod, don’t buy SUNN. I couldn’t understand why they hired Alex Nino and then made him change his style. What was the point? Or maybe Mr. Nino was trying to see if he could adapt to the manga style, and found out that he couldn’t.

13. Robby Villabona on February 29th, 2008 2:17 pm

    JM,

    Yes, that part on continuing learning is very true. And I have to say that among local artists, it’s Randy Valiente I find agreeable in that aspect.

    It’s the absolutist list of ANK of what’s TAMA and MALI that I find disagreeable. As usual, there is no context. Just an absolute what’s right, and what’s wrong. That list consists of principles in action/adventure comics and animation mostly targeted at the young and adolescent markets. What if what I’m drawing isn’t of that genre and is targeted at a more mature (older) audience?

    May binabagayan ang mga lessons na tinuturo ni ANK. Pero hindi lahat ng kwento sa mundo ganon dapat ang pagka-drawing. Siguro kung sa traditional line of DC/Marvel at Disney ka gumagawa. But everywhere else, there’s a rich variety of approaches and styles. Dapat siguro basahin niya ang mga libro ni Scott Mcloud na UNDERSTANDING COMICS at REINVENTING COMICS.

14. auggie on February 29th, 2008 5:54 pm

    Rod,

    Actually walang sinabi sina Joe Kubert, pagdating sa action kumpara ki Coching, baka si Russ Heath pwede pa. Sila Buscema, NealAdams palagay mahina, but don’t get me wrong, paborito ko rin si Kubert. Masyadong loose ang rendering ni Kubert, kumpara sa tightness ni Coching , altho yung ENEMY ACE, ni Kubert,tight ang illustrations doon.Si Heath , palaging tight, and he is the best artist for westerns bar none !

15. Gerry Alanguilan on February 29th, 2008 8:22 pm

    Auggie! Tanda ko na kung sino yung artist ng Western Comics na gusto ko… si Doug Wildey.

16. Rod Samonte on February 29th, 2008 11:19 pm

    Auggie,
    Ano pa ang isasagot ko kundi ang sumangayon sa mga sinabi mo dahil paborito ko talaga si Coching.
    Ewan ko, hindi ko yata masyadong kilala si Russ Heath. Nasa EC comics din siya o sa Tarzan, hindi ba? Pero magaling din si Zuniga sa western a.

    Gerry,
    Pano pag-load ng image sa Message Board? Pwede ba ang Jpeg?
    Nga pala mayroon akong RIO ni Doug Wildey. Paborito ko rin siya. Galing ng link na binigay mo. Thanks.
    Rod

17. Robby Villabona on February 29th, 2008 11:52 pm

    Auggie,

    Neal Adams best work can be seen in his superhero titles — most notably his run on BATMAN, DEADMAN, and GREEN ARROW/GREEN LANTERN. I believe he also credits Russ Heath as an influence, especially in dramatic lighting.

    John Buscema started out his superhero run by literally copying Jack Kirby’s poses and action drawings. But because his rendering style was prettier and more realistic this wasn’t so obvious.

    I saw some of Russ Heath’s early work in this book collection of his art. Ang ganda nga.

    One other artist that I believe excelled in poses and dynamic action was GIL KANE. Sabi nga ni Neal Adams, Gil Kane has already drawn all possible ways of drawing an action punch, kaya wala na siyang maisip na bago.

18. APOniKAPRE on March 1st, 2008 4:15 am

    Maraming nalilito tungkol dito sa TAMA at MALI. Para madaling maintendihan ito ay hindi kailangan ang mga paikut-ikot na katuwiran, ang kailangan ay simpleng common sense at elementary na ehemplo sa ibaba:

    “MALI na gamitin ang dynamic tension sa babaeng natutulog ng mahimbing, pero TAMA na gamitin ang dynamic tension kung itong babae ay nalilibugan sa kababati.”

    Ngayon, tungkol sa gawa ni Coching, kagaya nga ng ipinaliwanag ko na sa PKMB na hindi ko na uulitin uli, na KULANG SA DYNAMISM ang mga gawa niya kung ikumpara sa mga makabagong ideya ngayon. Pero kung ikumpara ang gawa niya sa mga gawa ng matatandang artists natin nuon ay magaling siya sa kanila. Kung ikumpara naman ang gawa niya sa mga ilan mga kabataan natin ngayon ay mas magaling ang mga kabataan ito. At kung GLOBAL DOMINATION ang plano ng mga artists natin ay HINDI na obra ang gawa ni Coching dahil nga may KAKULANGAN na ito at makaluma na rin ang stelo niya.

    Puwede tayong LUMINGON sa atin nakaraan pero HINDI na tayo puwedeng bumalik duon. Kulelat ang Pilipinas sa Asia na isa sa mga dahilan ay ang pag-iisip na ito na gustong bumalik sa nakaraan, sabagay parte ito ng ating kultura. Isa pang dahilan ay hindi nakasanayan ng karamihan sa mga pilipino na tanggapin kaagad ang mga makabagong ideya. Ang mga puti ay mas adelantado dahil sa interest nila sa lahat ng mga makabagong ideya.

    Ginawa ko pala ang blog ko tungkol sa “comics illustration” na libre para sa mga kabataan pinoy na magkaruon sila ng makabagong mga ideya, para huwag silang babalik sa nakaraan, at para malagpasan nila ang mga puti tungo sa GLOBAL DOMINATION ng mga pinoy artists.

    Pero ito ang MALUNGKOT na obserbasyon ko, maraming e-mails akong natanggap na mula dito sa US, ilan ay mula sa England, France at Germany, at dalawa mula sa Brazil. Nagtatanong sila sa mga sekreto ko sa komiks na sinabi ko sa blog ko, hindi ko naman sila sinagot dahil wala akong panahon. Pero WALANG PILIPINO NA NAGTANONG SA AKIN.

    Nakapagtataka ba? Hindi, dahil kagaya nga ng sinabi ko na sa itaas, karamihan sa mga pinoy ay HINDI interesado sa mga makabagong ideya. Ang plano ko sa blog ko tungkol sa comics illustrations ay para ito sa mga pinoy, pero ang NAKIKINABANG yata ay ang mga puti. Di kung gayon ay ibigay sa mga puti dahil sila ang mga interesado. Mangungunsumi nito si Frugi, hihihiiiii…….

    Medyo popular yata ang blog ko dahil binigyan ako ng napakaliit na spasyo ng Google, hehehe. Search ninyo sa Google ang “comics illustrations,” pagkatapos ay punta kayo sa Blogs, makikita ninyo ito duon sa itaas.

19. Gerry Alanguilan on March 1st, 2008 8:13 am

    ANK, ser, thanks for visiting! I featured your blog here some time ago and I’m sure a lot of Filipinos are quietly benefiting from your blog, and getting no inquiries or questions shouldn’t be interpreted as disinterest.

    You shouldn’t also interpret interest and enthusiasm for the work of Coching to mean that it is ONLY Coching we appreciate and learn from and nothing else. Coching is but one of the hundreds, even thousands of artists (from the past and the present) we look to for inspiration, and certainly you are one of them also.

20. APOniKAPRE on March 1st, 2008 10:51 am

    Ang tanong pala ay ito, may DYNAMISM ba ang gawa ni Coching? Pangalawang tanong, kung may DYNAMISM ito, gaano ka-DYNAMIC? Kung walang batayan ang mga sagot dito ay mahirapan sagutin ang mga ito. Ang kawalan batayan ang sanhi kung bakit hindi ninyo nakukuha ang mga punto ko.

    Sinabi ko na KULANG sa DYNAMISM ang gawa ni Coching dahil may mga batayan ako. Pero bakit KULANG? Ang sagot ay ito, ang DYNAMISM ay may FORCE na nagmumula sa TENSION at nagiging kawsa ito para magkaruon ng ACTION. Elementary physics ito na aplikable sa drawing.

    Ano ba ang TENSION? Ang pambatang sagot na mula pa rin sa elementary physics na aplikable rin sa drawing ay sa pamamagitan ng halimbawa, ang lastiko o spring pag binaltak ay nagkakaruon ito ng TENSION, kung KULANG ang baltak ay lumalaylay ito pero kung SOBRA naman ang baltak ay napuputol ito, dapat SAPAT lang ang baltak. Aplikable ang TENSION na ito sa drawing na action ng tao o hayop, ang tawag dito ay DYNAMIC TENSION.

    Ang EXAGGERATION ay TENSION, ACTION at ATTRACTION multiplier, psychology na ito na ginagamit sa psychological warfare, film at animation, puwede rin sa komiks at iba pa. Ang EXAGGERATION ay hindi rin puweding KULANG o SOBRA, dapat SAPAT lang. Ang DYNAMIC TENSION na may EXAGGERATION ay nagbibigay ng DYNAMISM sa drawing. Kung KULANG ang dalawang ito ang labas ng DYNAMISM ng drawing ay bitin, kung SOBRA naman ay cartoon ang resulta, dapat SAPAT lang. Ano ang SAPAT? Kung hindi na puwedeng DAGDAGAN at BAWASAN ang action ng drawing ay masasabing SAPAT na ito.

    Ngayon, balik tayo sa KULANG sa DYNAMISM na gawa ni Coching. Bakit KULANG pa ang gawa niya? Dahil hindi pa SAPAT ito, KULANG pa ang EXAGGERATION at DYNAMIC TENSION sa gawa ni Coching, puwede pa itong DAGDAGAN para lalong ma-IMPROVE ito.

    Ayan, pag hindi pa ninyo ito maintendihan ay PAGHAHAMBALOSIN ko na kayo ng DOS POR DOS, hihihiiii…..

21. Gerry Alanguilan on March 1st, 2008 11:38 am

    Sa akin ay hindi na po kulang ang tension at dynamism sa gawa ni Coching. Hindi na nito kelangan ng karagdagang dynamism pa. BAKIT ko po ito nasabi? Pag ito ay dadagdagan pa, magiging comical at cartoony na ang gawa nya, at pag nangyari ito, mawawalan ng bigat at kredibilidad ang gawa nya.

    Hindi lahat ng artist ay kelangan ng sobra sobrang dynamism. May binabagayan ito. Lalong lalo na pag gumagawa kayo ng comics tungkol sa Armageddon. Kung gusto ninyong seryosohin ng tao ang mensahe ninyo, at talagang matakot ang mga tao sa kwento na nililikha ninyo, kelangan mas realistic ang gawa ninyo, kesa sobra sobra ang exaggeration. Pag masaydong exaggerated, nagiging MAGAAN ang dating, parang lumilipad sa sobrang likot. Para magkaroon ng bigat, astig, at ang tinatawag nilang GRAVITAS, kelangan bawasan ang exaggeration.

    Ang mga gawa ni Coching ay eksaktong nasa gitna. Naabot nya ang tamang balance sa pagitan ng exaggeration at realism na mahirap abutin para sa kahit sinong artist.

    Sa tingin ninyo kulang sa dynamism ang gawa ni Coching. Sa tingin ko po iba lang ang ating pamantayan kung ano ang dynamic o hinde.

    Nako, pasensya na po at wag nyo na lang ako hambalusin at mahal ang magpaospital. Naiintindihan ko naman po ang sinasabi ninyo, hindi lang ako agree sa inyo. Hindi po ba pwede mangyari ang ganon?

22. Rod Samonte on March 1st, 2008 12:16 pm

    Ginoong Anak ni Kapre,
    Mabuti dito na ako susulat sa iyo at mas gamay ko ang mga palitan dito. Aktuali gustong-gusto ko at tagahanga ako ng blog mo at mga lessons mo sa comics drawing. Talagang magaling. Isa akong bigong dibuhista, palpak sa pigura, inaamin ko, pero kung mayroong ganyang mga lessons noong nagaaral ako ng komiks baka gumaling din ako. Kaya ewan ko kong nababaliw na ako at kakalabanin ko ang isang sing husay mo. Nguni’t tila kabaliwan din ang mga ilang mga sinabi mo tungkol kay Coching at sa mga matatandang dibuhista… o nabubulagan ka lang, alin sa dalawa. Payag ako at sangayon at talagang may puntos ang ilang mga nilahad at nilista mo doon. Halimbawa, na ang karamihan ay hindi marunong gumuhit ng babae. May exception diyan, palagay ko si Zuniga magaling sa babae at si Teny Henson din. Ayoko nang punahin pa ang iba dahil palpak din ako sa pag-guhit sa babae, mas magaling sila sa akin, bakit ko sila pupunahin? Pero naruon na ako. Ang talagang hindi ako payag ay sa mga sinabi mong bansot at pandak ang mga pigura ni Coching. Matagal na ako nagmamasid at sumusubaybay sa mga komiks, nagaral din ako ng Fine Arts, kumuha din ng anatomiya, kaya siguro naman ay may mata ako, kaya alam ko kung alin ang tama, mali, pangit o palpak na mga dibuho. Sa ganang akin si Coching yata kung isasabay mo sa mga kapanahon niya, ang ang may pinakamatangkad na mga bida sa mga komiks niya. Sabi mo bansot at pandak, dahil nga Pinoy ang taas, at may ilan ding pumayag. Tinignan ko uli ang mga dibuho ni Coching. Hindi, a. Ang tatangkad nga. Pero baka naman tama itong si Anak ni Kapre? Ano kaya? O kaya’y si Pedro Penduko yung nakita niya, e kuba yun. Nag-research ako sa internet at nakita ko yung mga sukat mo sa Ideal Male. May nakita din akong dibuhong lalaki ni Coching na nakatayo, si Crisanto sa Taga sa Bato na gawa ni Coching noong 50′s pa yata. Nakita ko din ang Ideal Male Form ni Andrew Loomis na siyang bibliya yata ng maraming dibuhista, walang dudang kilala mo siya. Naroon din at inihahambing kay Loomis ang dibuho naman ni Alex Ross ng Superman. Si Ross ang isa sa pinakasikat ng comics illustrator ngayon, alam mo na rin yan. Sa Photoshop pinagsama-sama ko ang apat na dibuhistang ito at itinapat sila ng tabi-tabi batay sa taas ng ulo nila, na ayon kay Loomis ay ang basehan ng buong katawan na dapat ay walong mga ulo. Walang daya ang ginawa ko, walang distortion, at ang pagliit at paglaki ng mga imahen ay yung shift key at hihilahin mo ang sulok para umurong-sulong diagonally para proportion ang mga imahen. Sino sa apat na ito ang tama ang pigura? Ang talagang paniwala ko ay si Loomis at Alex Ross ang magiging pinamatangkad dahil nga sa pagsunod sa heroic proportions na 8 Heads. Sorpresa!!! Ang lahat ay pantay-pantay na 8 heads. Tignan nating maigi kong sino ang pinakamalapit sa Ideal ni Loomis. Si Coching aktuali hindi ba? Si Ross ay medyo may muscle na mataba, bagay kay Superman, si Dery naman ang hindi pinakatama. 8 heads nga pero hindi sinunod ang lapad ng katawan ayon kay Loomis. Ayos lang naman, dahil si Gobernor Swarzenegger na barbelista ito. Eto yung link sa pansamatalang blog na ginawa ko para makita ng lahat ang ginawa ko side-by-side comparison.

    http://rodsamonte.blogspot.com/

    Aalisin ko din ito. Ginawa ko lang para ipakitang hindi pandak ang mga tao ni Coching. Maraming salamat sa pakikinig sa buzzing ng bubuyog na ito.
    Rod

23. APOniKAPRE on March 1st, 2008 12:32 pm

    Marami talaga ang NATUTULIRO sa EXAGGERATION. Ang pakaintendi ng marami na pag ginamit ang salitang EXAGGERATION ang ibig sabihin nito ay CARTOON ang labas, ay MALI! Ang EXAGGERATION ay hindi nangangahulugan na gawin CARTOON ang drawing. Ang EXAGGERATION ay ginagamit na ACTION at ATTRACTION MULTIPLIER para magkaruon ng illusion na parang BUHAY ang hindi gumagalaw na 2D na drawing. Ito ang ehemplo sa ibaba:

    “Kung ang hakbang ng lakad ng isang tao ay dalawang talampakan, i-EXAGGERATE ang hakbang na ito at gawin tatlong talampakan. At kung pangit ang babae, i-EXAGGERATE ang mukha nito, lagyan ng make-up at kolorete.”

24. auggie on March 1st, 2008 8:30 pm

    Padi,

    Yung gawa ni Coching na bumibili lang ng suka ( vinegar) sa pondohan pero nag ngi-ngitngit ang expression, at naglalabasan ang litid sa kamay at braso, meron bang tension doon ? pero tama ka Padi, dapat higitan pa ng new generation si Coching.

    Rod,

    Yung magaling din sa westerns eh si John Severin, marami akong kinolektang TWO GUN KID, niya, at yung nauna sa kanya, si Joe Maneely, ang galing din sa westerns. RINGO KID yung gawa niya. Si Gil Kane sa DC, yung HOPALONG CASSIDY, at JOHHNY THUNDER, saka TRIGGER TWINS, mga western lines ng DC, still head & shoulders above pa rin si RUSS HEATH. Kung iko-komiks yung LONESOME DOVE, dapat si HEATH ang illustrator. Mi JONAH HEX yatang si Heath ang nagdrowing ?

25. Gerry Alanguilan on March 1st, 2008 9:04 pm

    Auggie! Coincidence lang, pero pagdampot ko ng comics para basahin kanina, ang nakuha ko Sgt. Rock na si Russ Heath and nag drawing. Ang galing talaga nya. Kahit maliit ang mukha ay maganda ang pagkakadrawing. Wow, Lonesome Dove na comics… sana nga ano?

26. APOniKAPRE on March 3rd, 2008 5:15 pm

    Rod,

    mabuti at ginawan mo ito ng kumparasyon sa blogsite mo. Kung titingnan mo ng mabuti ang bungo ng ulo ng drawing ni Coching ay ang pinakamalaki sa lahat sa relasyon sa proportion ng katawan. Malaki rin ang bungo ng gawa ni Loomis, hindi ko pala gusto ang anatomy ni Loomis. At ang bungo ng dibuho ni Alex Russ ay malaki rin kung ikumpara ito sa proportion ng katawan. Pinatunayan mo lang sa kumparasyon mo na bansot sa lahat ang proportion ni Coching at tama ang sinabi ko.

    At tingnan mo rin mabuti ang mga drawings sa kumparasyon mo, walang exagerration si Coching at si Loomis, meron exaggeration ang gawa ni Alex Russ pero mas sobra sa kanya ang exaggeration ko. Ngayon tanungin mo ang sarili mo, alin ang mas dynamic tingnan, ang meron exaggeration o wala?

    Kaya kabaliwan ng sinuman ang makipag-argumento sa akin kung hindi niya alam ang mga punto ng sinasabi ko, ang punto ko ay dynamism at exaggeration. At nababansot at hindi dynamic ang drawing kung KULANG ang exaggeration.
