One thing I've noticed in a lot of NWS comics is that cars are always perfectly drawn, with all important bodylines and most details intact. I guess the artists can freehand a lot of stuff, but they all trace cars from photos for some reason.

I would think it's more that every kid draws cars as soon as they can hold a pen basically, so lots of practice is my guess. I for sure have no artistic talent tho, so just a guess.

yeah i knew this one kid in school who liked to draw punk/gross stuff, but when he wasn't doing that, he was obsessively drawing cars. he would show them off, but i couldn't draw and i wasn't too interested in cars being a 9 year old and all i didn't really care.

it would be interesting to see some kind of correlation between what kind of things kids draw early in life compared to what they draw later. there's no real scientific way to do it (lots of kids grow up and don't make art) but it would just be something curious.

I am an illustrator who grew up obsessed with custom cars and drawing them constantly. It's surprisingly difficult to draw a realistic car freehand, and I can't fault anyone for using tricks. I personally prefer somewhat stylized machinery but if you need a realistic car in your superhero comic or whatever, you're probably best off with a 3d model that you can pose as you like and then draw over.

I like to think they also have volumes upon volumes of dick to lovingly trace the perfect donger for each scene, categorized, arrayed and cross referenced, and the only reason we don't notice is that they have so much more dick to choose from.

Also an illustrator, and grew up drawing people and monsters, rarely ever cars. Mignola said that's why his style developed into heavy use of shadow so he didn't have to worry about the scenes all that much in Hellboy. But it's important to note that all artists use photographic reference, or sketchp in the case of comics. Yeah, stuff can be drawn on the fly but it's always more important to know that the anatomy/lawnmower/kakapo looks right as opposed to fishing for upvotes on a post where they claim "I didn't use reference" because, yeah, I can loving tell. It's a gentle balance to integrate photographic reference in with your normal style, otherwise it sticks out like a sore thumb.

And amazingly, it's not a stand-alone book. The comic which featured a man with a dimensional portal for an anus is part of the mainstream DC universe, and it is canonical that the name of the titular character is scrawled on a lavatory wall in the JLA's lunar HQ.

The reality TV tattoo competition show "Ink Master" recently had a contestant who was bragging about how his tattoos were superior because he didn't use photo reference and were 100% his designs and pretty much immediately after saying that he did a butt ugly anatomically incorrect tattoo and got eliminated.

Like, loving hell dude. Maybe look up a photo and check how many joints there are in a human finger before permanently putting that design on someone's skin? Maybe glance slightly to the right at your own hand which is holding the tattoo machine right in front of your face and check?

Fun fact: I did a tattoo apprenticeship under this one hard-rear end guy and whenever he had to draw something himself he'd give it to me to draw all the hands. A forty-something guy who'd been tattooing for twenty years making a fifteen year old girl draw prayer hands for him. I thought it was some crash course lesson at the time but recently when talking to other local artists I've discovered that it's become a running gag that that particular guy just can't draw at all.
