Drawing & Inking The Hulk (with Whilce Portacio)

[@oKingLexx]

I love watching artists draw with construction lines. The sketch is more valuable to me then the final rendering.

[@enri2754]

blindsay21 Yeah, the sketch is the fun part is a endles posibilities.

[@Eagle_shortz]

He is a master off drawing hands and I love the way he leaves lines out,he lets our eyes figure it out.

[@cartoonblock]

Yep he’s a pro

[@Handle...This.]

Look how tiny those hands are 🤭

[@cartoonblock]

I'm glad these videos are helping you guys. Personally, I enjoyed learning his inking technique with a Micron pen & brush pen.

[@razveck]

This guy is a legend. What an awesome job, I love the way he draws with the shades. Mad skills!

[@music102able]

i love the way he goes crazy with the hatching.

[@RobertMarzullo]

Whilce's work is simply amazing! Great video!

[@UCBoxer]

You're no slouch yourself Rob.

[@RobertMarzullo]

Thanks! :)

[@tovolume]

Robert Marzullo Indeed he is, Whilce Portacio is one cool guy

[@teamev1398]

Never knew you watched him your very good at drawing too!

[@JacobHalton]

Really cool video, it's interesting to see how he uses all those different tools for different things.

[@artistintraining101]

Lovely style of work it's like a classic comic book inking he's one of the best I've seen great work.

[@MikeRouallo]

You are a Jedi! It's just incredible to look at you drawing like this! Thanks!

[@lazerthe22]

i loved his work on the first series of Wetworks. Thanks for this glimpse into how he does it

[@WayneTully1]

Whilce Portacio is an amazing comic book Artist I like his Spawn stuff and even when he was doing Wetworks and way back with Uncanny X-men. This is a superb inked drawing and shows his whole process....Thanks for posting this!

[@youdraw]

Wow! How did I miss this one? THUMBS UP!

[@TheNomad2727]

I was a kid and saw in the shop Punisher 8... I had never bought a comic but did because of the art...It was this guy who did it, and started me off in comic collecting

[@davidr2501]

Dude, props for all these videos and art work commissions. Ima stop kidding myself and follow u, lol. Love Whilce!

[@bminus911]

Wow! Thanks for this vid, Whilce is one of my favorite artists. Xmen, Wetworks, Stone, etc. This is a real treat watching him draw.

[@MrNeuroamante]

DEMASIADA VUELTA PARA ALGO TAN SENCILLO HULK !!! LO SIENTO PORTACIO

[@RobertMarzullo]

Nice work!!!

[@cartoonblock]

28 minutes. Whilce is PRO!

[@natecheatham737]

he has a great art style it is so awesome mr. portacio your drawing of the hulk was awesome

[@Fotozaic]

never seen the inking done that way, very cool. Give's me hope that I can pull off the inking without having to use a brush. Brushes never seem to do what I want, prefer to use something that doesn't bend on me. :)

[@dernellhill9533]

Mad respect! Luv the fast art sketch of the hulk... Seeing it drawn through phazes was like watching an artist draw skipping through time..past fading into the present ....Im a fan of underground hiphop...and instrumentals..enjoyed the music...fresh..

[@hburger1235]

i love when you do videos like this Even! Because you expose us to other artists out there that we may not have ever come across! Thank you!

[@NexusArtRealm]

I love Whilce's work. Remember his Wetworks comics at Image? I even have the action figures. Just a very nice rock and roll style.

[@professorcookie]

It certainly explains why he takes so long with his finished pages. This is good, but his comic pages are so much fuller. Great work.

[@Zawan]

Gee so this is why wetworks took two years for one issue. Lol. I love whilce. His xfactor was epic

[@tovolume]

Zawan i also liked the character Whilce created Bishop of X-Men

[@mistasinistah5200]

awesome sketch! awesome video!awesome music!!..AWESOME! keep it going!!

[@furionese]

all i can is WOW... when i first saw a thumbnail of this clip i thought this got to be one of the best drawing of Hulk ever on KZbin but i quickly realised, its no wonder, been done by the very best of professional.lol

[@melbinbinu5085]

man the cross-hatching in this drawing is epic his left fist should have been bigger. it looks weird being that small... but still.... its the best hulk drawing i've ever seen

[@Sutton1022]

awesome post. this was very helpful. im trying to shake off the sting of some past failed attempts at starting to draw professionally again. this video helped a lot. thanks again for posting and keep it up.

[@rakrotay]

The man really like shadow details, I just questioned my patience with my drawings, I don`t think I would be able to be so much time on a single figure, Awesome work Bro.

[@drgnzadiel101]

its either a faber castell brush pen, a pentel brush pen, or a pilot brush pen. so basically.. a brush pen lol. pigma makes brush tipped pens as well. any of those will do the job. all great pens btw

[@TheConcluziioN]

WOW! Awesome shade transitions.

[@Banana10044]

Man his shading is awesome he does it so perfect amazing artist

[@Artistic323]

I was there when you were getting that drawing done!! ^_^ It was Awesome seeing you at Wondercon 2012!

[@danmcdaid]

Great video - love watching inkers ink. To those who asked, it looks like he's using a micron fine point, a Pentel brush pen, a sharpie, and some big blocky looking thing I don't recognise. Loved the music too - any chance of someone throwing up a tracklist in here?

[@KrazyEngima]

it was a brush pen...you can get them in a lot of places though my favorite brush pens are from COPIC

[@Juniversal]

Wow nice piece. Whilce put a lot of work into this and I definitely prefer the more simian look of the hulk to the more human look some give him.

[@gtrrzdl]

seeing whilce work makes me proud to be a filipino. I dont know if you people know this but his shading technique resembles the techniques used in filipino comics.

[@ZeroOptix]

Always loved his lines!

[@tovolume]

I wonder how Whilce Portacio feels when he sees Bishop (the character he co created) is now in the movie X-Men Days of Future Past

[@kustomkure]

mad props for amazing music

[@oilyboy7243]

Personally I like not having to draw the digits for most of my drawings, but I always loved drawing Venom's long spikes digits,also Carnage's digits are fun to draw.

[@Bars11805]

That sketch was dope, wetworks was an awesome comic. Whilce is the man.

[@Tommydnine2]

That cross hatching is sooo dope!!

[@samhenderson8702]

This video blew my mind and has inspired me sooo much!

[@braulio751]

WOW... this video is great,Portacio is a great artist :)

[@paperluigi64]

Hulk gets stronger the madder he gets. It's always been like that, so I really don't see how he can be getting any stronger as of recently.

[@pianospawn1]

This guy is a craftsman! Fine penmanship sir :)

[@Ostnizdasht206]

Looks like that little dude from Borderlands 2, Salvador. Great job! I think I'm going to go draw now..

[@MAF4FIT]

Loved it. Wish I could ink like that

[@GoldStandardGames]

still one of my favorite artist! Whilce X-Men Portacio!

[@thesasoriphoenix]

This is amazing! The face reminds me more of Tombstone than of the Hulk, but it's still great art, especially done in under 30 minutes.

[@tovolume]

Whilce Portacio is also known for his work for co creating the character Bishop of X-Men

[@Metalmongoloid]

His tiny Hulk hands are adorable. Like a little rage baby's.

[@leandrocomic3297]

my favorite artist

[@alfredorosado1]

awesome shading and lightening. good compisition . i really enjoy watching him draw. my only comment would be that his fist are to small compared to the ratio od his head. particularly his left fist. really small. but good pic still.

[@jasonwall1995]

6:52 starts the beat to one of my favorite hip hop songs. But I'm wondering if it's not something else originally.... Lmk anyone?

[@CJ_7519]

If you wanna know the name of the sample, it's from a song called "Sky High" by a British group named Jigsaw from 1975.

[@jasonwall1995]

@@CJ_7519 Awesome Thank you.

[@CJ_7519]

@@jasonwall1995, no problem👌!

[@jasonwall1995]

@@CJ_7519 Yeah the song I knew it from is called 2020 AD from a relatively unknown but real amazing artist named Nino Bless. A really really talented guy who I believe got blacklisted for trying to be something positive. But I've always wondered about that sample for a few years. Thanks again.

[@CJ_7519]

@@jasonwall1995, once again, no problem👍!

[@GoodGames.]

Amazing this truly taught me how to draw professionaly.

[@WCA_Arts]

No...way! What kind of pen was that?!? I've never seen anyone use that shadow/texture technique before.

[@OllieByGolly]

The hair and shadow areas are from a felt pen with a tip shaped like a brush. You can vary the thickness of your line like a brushstroke. They're expensive, but, it's a LOT less messy than continually loading a #2 Sable with India ink!

[@animefan6990]

1999Olympian Its a copic wide nib black marker. 110.

[@charleshayesvaughn]

1999Olympian he's using Micron and a Copic, but I would suggest Faber Castell pit for beginners.

[@samueltcwhite701]

Charles Vaughn is he? I thought he was using a pentel brush pen?????

[@samueltcwhite701]

Charles Vaughn do not worry. I stand corrected😂

[@LuisHernandez-ky8kw]

is bothering anyone else or is it just me that he made his fist pretty small

[@Moodboard39]

Too small . No matter what , we end up doing mistakes lol

[@MrJoshuaortega]

How can he die he had been the powerful and dominant character in superhero history

[@astroisvibin]

He used the cross hatching technique very efficiently.

[@Rcinch1]

One of the great founders of Image Comics! Around 1996, he designed a new Hulk with long hair and 3 times the size of the original Hulk! A design still used by comic book artists of today! I must admit though, I miss Wetworks. It was a great book series! Although I hear that he is trying to bring it back! I miss 1997, when I was 14 and comic books were a hot-selling commodity! Where for art though 1990's comic book sales?! Come Back Please! : )

[@KouD3Graw]

I actually learned from this video. Now its time to use what I learned in my art.

[@KouD3Graw]

The Hulk Vs Superman. That's a battle that'll have both of them in a sweat lol.

[@WhyTheHorseface]

we need to return to a time when all artists use other guys to ink their work and everyone does a full book per month. Drop single issue and subscription prices, write some stories for younger people, market to them, and save the medium! Get Jim Shooter back at the helm of Marvel and see if it works 80's Boom Style! BTW, thanks for posting all of your videos, love them!

[@HajiAbdullah]

in future posts could you list music selection (awesome tracklist)

[@VanDavis]

JEZUS, man...he gave you some time and effort on this one! AWEsome, for a con sketch. Congrats. :)

[@TheElementHaze]

Heroes who can beat Hulk; Superman, Phoenix, Scarlet Witch, Mr. Manhattan, Professor X., Iron Man (I think he has beat him once), Green Lantern, Silver Surfer, Invisible Woman. They have to willing to kill though. Hulk is always out for blood. 3 of the ones I mention Hulk would not be a challenge. A couple would have a slight chance, but, they would only have one.

[@gecko1131]

One of Marvel Comics Legend "Whilce Portacio"

[@ftrwar]

i used to draw the cover of xfactor 68 all the time in highschool, drove my TAV teacher nuts

[@Jerseylance1]

Nice art work and cool Hip hop music.

[@3volvedb3ing]

portacio is an amazing artist, what ink pens did he use? I know i seen a sharpie there what was the first pen he used?

[@Beardsnack]

Crosshatching shadows. epic.

[@hostelowner]

When were these though because hulk has been getting ridiculously stronger through the coming years. i mean didn't he kill thor in hulk vs?

[@jangzterrizer9405]

I curious on how long did the artist took to finish hulk, Compared to me: I can do this for between 3 to 2 and a half hours. But you know you won't feel the time when you are enjoying yourself.. I just want to know how fast the pros work :)

[@ELo-wi7vv]

Other than a strange face and overly large left forearm, the drawing is great. What kind of paper is this drawn on? I imagine it has to be think to take on all that ink. Is this generally how artists draw; they avoid a lot of drawing by going straight to inking as he did here with the abs and the pants?

[@jordanvelez2253]

I think the hulk would crush whoever stands in his way the more angry he gets the stronger he becomes no matter what circumstance and to tell you the truth wolverine and the hulk are both my favorites in the marvel series but I think all you would really have to do is be head wolverine and he would be able to regenerate... my opinion...

[@bagoong2011]

muscle definition is a bit off for me but it went pretty well with the use of ink shading.. hulks fist is way bigger than this, if i where to draw hulk i would have define a grinding teeth hulk.. not bad for a 30min creation.

[@JaZpInDeR]

@xXJokerVsClownXx Afraid not buddy, Hulk is pretty much unstoppable in a fight. His strength is proportional to his anger and his anger is a continuous variable so, THEORETICALLY, Hulk has potentially infinite strength

[@boutassai]

Wow, he must spend a fortune on inking products. Great video, thanks Evan.

[@1RiveraG1]

Digger from Amazing Spiderman II #51 could beat Hulk because... - He's dead and brought back by Gamma radiation (The same radiation that made the Hulk) - He's just as strong as the Hulk. - He's smaller so he could maneuver around Hulk, thus having a great advantage over him. - He's a mobster! Mobsters don't lose! They just don't!

[@alternate352]

characters to beat hulk: Thanos, The Beyonder, The living Tribunal, One above all, mephisto, oblivion, Magus, proteus, galactus, celestials, molecule man, Black bolt, Cyttorak, ect.

[@udgfilms]

i love watching your videos especially ones that aren't in my manga style :D thanx for the vids -jordan

[@marambo2000]

Always a Portacio fan...oh and that's RED Hulk by the way... He's the one witht he crew cut hair cut...Betty Ross's father!

[@wolverine8425]

great drawing, love these videos.

[@NateDaGreat561_]

Do a drawing contest again., the raditz vs frieza drawing was like the most fun i ever had drawing. i want people to criticize my drawings and give pointers,

[@bozoclown2098]

With crude tools and nerves of steel (steady hand) I fixed worn Micron nib.

[@TansuOzcelebi]

This is impressive talent

[@FlashAnimator1000]

Lol, if I achieved the same result as this guy after 2 minutes, I'd be like: " This is my greatest drawing I've ever made, I better not countinue or I may ruin it...!".

[@eddamonsta]

DAMN dope track! got me pumped to draw!

[@blazingkhalif2]

he was hired he does the new hulk comics

[@TheSmokeyDawn]

Dude, Goku when facing Vegeta for the first time could beat Hulk. The power of DBZ characters is astronomical.

[@devinhughes4766]

first time i saw this in 2013 i was blown away

[@GtrPlaya82]

Wow. Cross hatching skill level = Jedi.

[@Randomfatguyonbus]

Could you draw moon knight I know he's not everyone's favourite hero but I just really like the characters design

[@HOVANA]

It's been I don't know how many weeks you made a video

[@cristianungureanu1079]

The Thing from Fantastic 4 is the only one who was able to go punch for punch with Hulk and win.

[@justpassingby1066]

+Cristian Ungureanu no he didn't and no he can't

[@lindandao]

in the right situation anyone can defeat the hulk. BUT that is a double edged sword meaning, in the right situation the Hulk can defeat anyone else as well

[@MrMADman171]

its much easier to start w/ the body, then build the figure off of the general gesture shape of the torso
