Freddie E. Williams II (born May 30, 1977) is an American comic book writer and artist.

Williams burst onto the comic scene in 2005, when he began work with DC Comics on the comic series Robin and on the Eisner Award-winning series Seven Soldiers: Mister Miracle. He has since gone on to work on several crossover series including Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles, Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II, He-Man/ThunderCats and Injustice vs. Masters of the Universe.

Early life

Williams was born in Little Rock, Arkansas, grew up in Kansas City, Kansas, and now lives in Lees Summit, Missouri with his wife. He was raised in an impoverished single-parent home, and often dreamed of flying away like Superman. His sister supported his love of comics and his dream of becoming a comic book artist. Williams was inspired to become a comic book artist at the age of 15 after seeing Jim Lee's artwork in Uncanny X-Men #272.{{deadlink|date=October 2013}}[1]

Career

While attending the 2005 San Diego Comic-Con International, Williams submitted a portfolio to the DC talent search. He was hired to do a few issues of Seven Soldiers featuring Mister Miracle, for which he won an Eisner Award. He's known for drawing characters such as Robin, the Flash, Green Arrow, Conan, Star Lord, and Thor. Since then, he has illustrated Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles,[1] Batman/Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II, He-Man/ThunderCats and Injustice vs. Masters of the Universe.

In 2006, Williams signed an exclusive contract with DC Comics.[2] He became the regular artist on Robin beginning with issue 149 in 2006, and began illustrating The Flash in early 2008.

Williams appears frequently on comic book-related podcasts including Comic Geek Speak, Half Hour Wasted, Raging Bullets and Fanboy Radio.{{Citation needed|date=October 2010}} He also posted online tutorials about creating digital artwork in comics.[3] The tutorials are available on his YouTube page.[4]

Technique and materials

Williams trained in traditional art methods but is primarily a digital artist who uses a "hybrid method," as detailed in The DC Comics Guide to Digitally Drawing Comics..[1]

In addition to working digitally, Freddie is also known for working in traditional medias, including Ink Wash (diluted India Ink). Freddie has made a variety of "How To" videos listed as Work in Progress "W.I.P" on his website, to demonstrate the methods he utilizes to create his artwork.
