Description: I don't know how many of you are familiar or even heard of the DC Comic's figure you see before you now. Today we will be tackling the task of learning "how to draw Swamp Thing", step by step. All I know about the Swamp Thing is what I watched from an old late seventies to early eighties movie called 'The Swamp Thing'. It's about a bio scientist that is working or researching in the swamps located in Louisiana. The main character is Dr. Alec Holland and he is accompanied by his sister as they come across a major breakthrough in their research. They are working on creating a hybrid species using the genetics of plants and animals. Soon after his findings Alice Cable is thrown into the picture and falls for Dr. Holland. The two of them fall in love but that is short lived when the research team is hijacked by a band of swamp pirates run by an evil doctor named Anton Arcane or just 'Arcane'. In a desire to become immortal Linda is killed, and Alec Holland gets trapped in the lab as all kinds of chemicals spill on him and the place catches fire. Alec is presumed dead. Alice Cable is kidnapped by the crazed doctor Arcane as he attempts to consume the mixture from the findings that Dr. Holland worked on. Alec comes back to life as a mutated creature from the swamp but still maintains his sanity. Unfortunately for Arcane, he too becomes deformed and the two swamp monsters go at it. Eventually Alice is saved by her mutated lover, and saylavee. I have always liked the movie, but never followed the comics. The movie was actually directed by Wes Craven so it had a magical feeling to it. The lesson on drawing the Swamp Thing will be exciting because he is a character that has never grazed the cover of Dragoart before. So enjoy and please be sure to leave me your feedback. Peace out folks, and have fun.
