Kevin Wada

Kevin Wada is an illustrator that I really admire. Work like his is not seen often in comics, as he uses water colour and puts more of a fashion illustration spin on things. He mostly does commissions and comic book covers, meaning that he gets to draw a wide range of characters, which sounds great.



Marvel reach out to work with him not long after he sold a print of a fashion piece that he created of the X-Men. His inspirations include Tom Ford, Alexander McQueen and Givenchy among others,



He often paints a lot more queer and non-white characters in Marvel which is one of the things that helps his work stand out, especially in the world of mostly straight white male comics.



Looking at fashion and fashion illustration would be a good way to further my skills, and creating things for a medium like comics in a way that hasn't been done before is definitely a good way to get noticed.
