Any recommendations on light boxs?

When I draw, I don't think of it purely aesthetically, but, like you said, as a storytelling mechanism. It gets an idea across. I wonder if this is a view held mostly by those who make comics or if some visual artists in other mediums also think this way (animation, of course, but I was thinking about static mediums).

Good book

BROOKLYNN!!! Great to see you expanding and growing on all platforms! Your Artwork and skill is Amazing!!! Could watch you draw, sketch or ink all freaking Day! Stay warm my friend 🤙🏾🙏🏾🫡

Thus is true

Great idea!

What types of exercises would you recommend for warm up drawings?

So stunning, your art style

gorgeous!

VERY GOODD❤

It's nice to see a review of one of my favorite artists. My only comment for you is that it seems a shame that you constantly speak of Pope as being outside of the mainstream of comics and that it makes him someone to have to adjust to. Paul Pope is in the mainstream of comics in that he's not just a superhero artist cranking out a monthly installment of West Coast Avengers or something like that. The true mainstream of comics is everything that is not superhero books. To use Escapo as an example of this I would say that it would be much easier to tell a non-reader of comics that it's a story about a potential romance between two circus performers and have that person agree to give it a try rather than to try to explain to that person whatever is going on in the current issue of Spawn.

I can feel the energy ..

I like this technique 👍🏻👍🏻👍🏻

Awesome work!

Watched it twice! Thanks for the links.

Now i know the secret to becoming a great artist. I will soon be inking and painting just like Tommy P! In all seriousness, thanks for sharing this info man! Great video

Nah, M. Graham is good paint.

This is good

Love the more loose gouache painting illustrations half way through this vid. (The one that you didn’t really liked 😊) Same for the sketches with dynamic black line weight in them and more gesture in the poses ❤

Great tip from James!! I need to draw on location at some point and try this out

Rogue and Gambit! My fave xmen!

An artist dream when he is hangoverd

Love her eyes

Sugar

I ❤ Rogue!!

that is goddamn beautiful

Muy bonito tu arte .👍

Very good.👍👍👍

WooooW!

How did i never think of this haha

That’s so awesome 👇🏼

Yeah but Jim Lee’s storytelling isn’t very strong. Thumbnails is the way to go I think

Hey Thomas, just subscribed and enjoying your channel. Great work! Thanks for sharing :-)

Beautiful. I’m an artist too (hard to call myself that tbh) I’ve been in art school for two years, this is amazing. My self esteem for art is low because I quit for 10 years so I feel like I’m not as good as a could be. This is amazing ❤

Your underrated

More is not better… Better is better. Relax with the speed. It’s not like you’ve got a million projects to do or that you’re gonna be a millionaire because of them.

Does it really them by who drew them? Because the pages aren't finished until they are printed.

Donnie Brasco is an underrated film, such a good movie.

Interesting, Ive always done my thumbnails full size. Maybe going smaller will work faster for me.

Working against the clock and also your failing body as you get older.

The masters drew those many pages the TRADITIONAL WAY! Today artists can practically CHEAT with the tech today, it's not the same!

Looks great!

Adam Warren. 10 stories, 120 pages. But they’re really quite good.

This might be exclusive to digital, but I keep a sheet of various sketches of my characters in different poses, and I copy and paste. A lot of times I might have to adjust them to suit the panel but it helps keep my characters on model and quickens the sketching process by quite a bit.

Jim Lee still blows me away.

Powers worked for a really sorta esoteric reason. It came out when Batman the Animated Series was still so prevalent and important in so many reader’s minds, and to see essentially that style placed into a Mamet-esque, very adult situation, turned Powers into a kind of elevated satire. And it still holds up in that way today, as that animated style has become ubiquitous in American animation (especially for superhero stuff). I don’t think that Powers would’ve been successful without Batman the Animated Series’ existence. It’s a weird thing to say, but BtAS really was integral to comic book readers accepting the art style.

As an additional note, Kishimoto, the Author of Naruto, has stated that his style was SPECIFICALLY meant to allow him to draw characters fast, in order to meet deadlines, and ive hence leaned towards a similar principle; get things across, but keep it simple enough that it will one day be doable in a reasonable amount of time, and of course trying to learn to avoid perfectionism and accept un-ideal panels, in the name of time.
