Hi, I’m Shola Ajibade from Mission To Inspire.

There is no single “definitive guide” published yet, but you can reverse‑engineer Shola’s Spider‑punk sketchbook approach from the shared pages and posts:

  • Start with loose gesture poses for Spidey and Hobie – exaggerate angles and silhouettes first, details later
  • Build pages as collages: small headshots, full poses, suit close‑ups, logos, web shapes, and handwritten notes/lyrics
  • Use mixed line quality – thick brushy outlines for figures, thin scratchy lines and hatching to keep the punk feel
  • Add high‑contrast black areas, sharp shapes and sticker‑like graphics to make the page feel energetic and “zine‑like”

Would you like a step‑by‑step page layout recipe you can follow for your own Spiderpunk spread?
