Sup /ic/,

Just had a quick question. Anyone know any good resources for teaching some of the techniques for comic style drawings? Or should I just focus on studying Jim Lee, since I want to be able to emulate his style specifically until I develop my own?

Thanks for an advice.

There are some house style specific resources like pic related or How to Draw Comics The Marvel Way but good house style artists like Neil Adams and Alex Toth are all substance over style.
The best advice is to draw from life, to know how to use references and to study artists you like, make studies off Jim Lee but also other people and grow on your own

David Finch's Gnomon workshop DVD. I actually tried to purchase it legit but it seems to be no longer for sale so I got a rip from somewhere

Ed Benes has a style that I think you might like as well. He doesn't have much tutorial-wise, but you can study his style. He does have a couple drawing vids in Brazilian/spanish on youtube.

Richard Friend and Walden Wong are great for inking tips and tricks.
