Charles Dana Gibson, Joseph Clement Coll, and James Montgomery Flagg | Master Study

[@madiko]

Joseph Clement Coll was amazing. Look at his lights and shadows. Love them! Thank you so much for sharing, you inspire to learn and to draw. ❤

[@thewalruswasjason101]

Joseph clement Coll is the greatest pen and ink artist all time to me. They energy in his stuff is just different

[@peregrination3643]

I love this era and that you do master studies. I guess the internet makes me feel like copying an older, inspirational artwork for exercise is inappropriate for posting, but thinking about it as a master study puts it in perspective.

[@longstrideillustration]

For sure, and what's nice about these studies is that you can apply what you liked about your learnings into your own works, or dismiss what's not a good fit for your style. I think studying a variety of masters takes us places we wouldn't have otherwise considered.

[@thetrueholybob434]

I just wanna say, I love your content so much, I wish youtube would put every litttle upload of yours in to my feed more often

[@longstrideillustration]

Thank you!

[@BabbSteve]

Wow, what an amazing video - thanks!

[@longstrideillustration]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@Storkus100]

I had forgotten about Coll. You can certainly see that Wrightson based his style on Colls. And to be fair, a lot of modern comic book and cover artists like Frazetta ow him a debt, they were also clearly influenced by his work. A true master.

[@longstrideillustration]

For sure, I was inspired by doing this study, it certainly expanded how I view pen and ink as a medium.

[@francineh.7825]

Seeing this reminded me that I did a study of the Gibson girl a billion years ago haha. I can hardly wait until the project I'm working on is done as I so want to get back to improving my inking skills and watercolour.

[@longstrideillustration]

Sounds awesome!

[@Mikuru-inkings]

Such a great video. I was always wondering about the technique of the golden trio, as it is so unique and distinct. Their strokes being bold but precise. Yet they convey so much. All of that without a reliance on contours. As I'm reading and practicing throughout Guptills book they are certainly one of my inspirations, (I'm not a patient renderer) Edit: they also remind me of some pencil based rendering techniques that I really enjoy. Though with pencil you can get away with so much more in terms of stroke amounts

[@longstrideillustration]

That Guptill book is the masterpiece of pen and ink manuals, my fave.

[@theheresiarch3740]

If you're interested in kind of off-beat material for future master studies, you should check out some of the European martial arts manuals produced between roughly 1550 and 1800. Most of them are done with engraving line work like Dore, which translates to your pen and ink style really well. They obviously have a huge focus on the human form in motion, but many of them also contain incredible backgrounds of architecture and landscapes. The two most ornate ones are probably The Academy of the Sword by Thibault and The Art of Combat by Joachim Meyer.

[@longstrideillustration]

oh wow! Thank you for the suggestion, that is awesome! Some golden nuggets I shall spend much time studying - can't go wrong with a martial arts & ink combo.

[@madiko]

Thank you for sharing. Those illustrations are master studies in chisel hatching. Some points taken though for crude anatonomy and proportions (look at the feet for instance, that only got improved over time with medical as well as drawing knowledge). Wikimedia Commonse has a nice collection as well as the British Museum.

[@merri_spiderly6017]

Wonderful video as always! You’ve really inspired me to try and find ways to improve myself through studying the masters. I’m just struggling to find a way to start for some reson. 😅 One day I would love to see you cover Mike Mignola, as a fan of comic books in general, that man’s currently my absolute favorite.

[@longstrideillustration]

Mignola is awesome!

[@julianblake8385]

Oh, I loved this video!! Thank you so much for showing how you use fineliners and brushpens. It is incredibly useful. I bought some quills and nibs just to do your Udemy course, but my Gooooosh! Am I having a hard time learning how to use them. My line quality and precision with fineliners is ok, but once I changed to nibs it totally went away, and that has been so frustrating. Could you please one day do a video on how to achieve line width variation using fineliners please? I saw you achieving it here, and it looks amazing. Thank you so much for your work. I love your channel.

[@longstrideillustration]

Hi! I'm glad to hear that you enjoyed this video and took my course. True, there is a shift in method, how we draw when using dip pens versus other inking instruments, though the results are well worth persisting through the learning curve. David Finch does a great job of demos using fine liners and brushpens, if you haven't already checked him out yet. Thanks for being a fan of my channel, I appreciate it!

[@usetherightbrain.]

Another superb post, Chloe. can you do more with the brush pen? How do you find working with it, what are the strengths and weaknesses? Thanks a mil

[@longstrideillustration]

Sure, there have been many requests for the brushpens demos. I do prefer using a traditional brush with ink, though the comparison would make a good video, thanks for the suggestion!

[@VikingWeShallGo]

I feel like alot of Theodor Kittlesens works might be right up your alley

[@longstrideillustration]

yes! His art makes me smile 😀!

[@ArtOfDan9908]

Gorgeous work!

[@Anielzambrano]

saludos desde Venezuela Excelente trabajo el suyo gracias por compatir sus experiencias👍👍

[@longstrideillustration]

Thank you!

[@johnnyalves7469]

Awesome video!

[@longstrideillustration]

Glad you enjoyed it

[@maruko6256]

So all of 3 are same style when you combine?

[@longstrideillustration]

My conclusion is that, yes, their context was very similar for their commercial work. I'm sure their personal pieces, like the paintings and such have more distinct styles from each others'.

[@maruko6256]

​@@longstrideillustrationtry make video similar for frank frazetta he have couple styles that even i don't know where he saw ideas for drawing

[@MBART_BOY]

❤❤❤❤❤

I think drawing directly on the paper without using any erasable material at first is more fun and it gives the feeling of the material I use.
