Todd McFarlane on Hitting Potholes When Inking Spawn #300 – Trailer For His Syfy Documentary

Todd McFarlane has been talking at NYCC about creating a triple-sized Spawn #300 and a double-sized Spawn #301, pulling all-nighters and calling that a young man's game. And talking about how to ink in a car… you draw the bushes and the explosions and people say how great they look, but he can point out the pOt holes the car hit in each individual page…

He espoused on one of his mottos – do enough good stuff to blind the audience to the bad stuff. He says he draws terrible buildings. People love his Spider-Man jumping out of the panel, but that's because he shrunk the panel so as to draw less building, and that created his style, letting people project the buildings, creating an entire Manhattan in their heads that he never drew. Do more work and the whole body of work will be greater than the smaller parts, which can be picked apart…

There you go. Still, Todd's return to drawing Spawn #300 and #301 has given him the drawing bug back, and for Spawn #302, Jason Shaw Alexander will only be drawing fifteen pages, Todd will be doing five… and that's how he is going eke back into drawing Spawn.

As for the film? He's working on a rewrite, the success of Venom helped as did Spawn #300, he says that if Joker does well, and Hollywood decided they want R-rated superhero movies, then he'll be holding up Spawn saying 'I've got one'.

Here's a trailer on the Todd McFarlane documentary airing later this year on the Syfy network. Apparently it was the filming of this, getting him to walk up mountains, is what made Spawn #300 a week late And why he posted pictures of himself inking Spawn #300 from tops of mountains…
