8 - Naturalism

Naturalism is the raw and exact representation of the images found in nature. The image can convey mass and volume and gives the illusion of three dimensional space. They are hard to master completely and when a skilled artisan creates a natural pose, they should be commended.


Glenn Fabry, the cover artist to "Preacher" excels at naturalism. The comic business doesn't deal in a natural look at things often, so when an artist such as Fabry makes an art piece it stands out on the comic racks. Notice the attention to detail in the hands and the reflection of the face in the lighter.
