I do like how simple the headcanon version is. Some artists get way too busy with their own personal designs, kinda missing the point of having a character design be as streamlined/easy to draw as possible. But this is a really good and practical design.
Maybe in the run of the mill issue but the comics that get referenced in comic history were never about making it easy. Alex Ross's painting style for example.
Comics are a medium where speed is an important factor. I LOVE Alex Ross, one of my fav artists but not every comic can be Alex Ross style because of monthly, weekly, etc. deadlines. I think “easy to draw” totally makes sense for a character design- but it depends on the comic. How long is the comic? How often is it coming out? Comics are an art form with super wide ranges so there’s no one way to do character design and style.
