Drawing Superheroes (3 of 3)

[@THectOrtiz]

Travis Charest. One of the most underrated illustrators ever. The guy is amazing. He really doesn't get enough recognition, when some get too much...

[@정현우-d8k9g]

he is at least several times more talented than dc's superstars such as jim lee and ivan reis. i think him and adi granov and alex ross have the greater perfection in fine art than whoever else in comic book art ground.

[@shrishshubhang8213]

Studz Ramrod like rob liefeld?

[@madshader]

Lee and Travis are my all-time favorites. I think even Travis was a huge fan of Lee as you could see in Travis's early works before he found his own style. I wish Travis would do drawing streams on Twitch like Lee is starting to. Would be amazing to see more of his works and maybe hear his thoughts on his process.

[@MetroGuardian]

Mr J Rommita Jr. *Cough cough

[@davidwilliams4837]

Agreed. Charest is my favorite artist. Elegant linework and mastery of negative space.

[@officialmaxrebo]

his clear understanding of light and shadow, matched with his ability to break the rules and still accomplish a realistic and beautiful piece, really just tickles my fancy. love this guy-so underrated. watching him draw is so therapeutic.

[@War624]

Ah, Dave Gibbons. Bless the Watchmen and Dave's amazing art along with Alan's amazing writing.

[@KronosGuitar75]

Travis is the best...incredible art and style...it's a real pleasure to watch him at work! Thanks for posting this great videos...

[@MsHollyweirdTV]

I love watching artist draw. to me it's usually better than any tutorial because the artist is speaking threw the drawing. That hole picture worth a thousand words? yeah. That's pretty much it.

[@ninjacarm]

The first artist is Dave Gibbons (Watchmen) drawing the Just Imagine Stan Lee Green Lantern.

[@benjaminshinobi]

TRAVIS CHAREST is my hero! I used to sit and copy his drawings for hours when I was little.

[@sygnote]

TRAVIS CHAREST IS JUST INSANE HOW EASY DOES THE OTHERS DO IT BUT THESE MAN IS GREAT!!!!!!!!!! DAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAAMMMMMMMMMMMMM

[@Juniversal]

Always been a big fan of Travis's. Never ceases to amaze me.

[@steelbat54]

Always liked his work... beautiful and clean..👍

[@KronosGuitar75]

WOW...this video it's fantastic...it's a real pleasure to watch travis Charest at work and seeing how he can create such incredible art! Thanks for posting this video...

[@xDCxLegends]

The detail on Superman and the Moon in the backgorund is incredible.

[@chodeshadar18]

I'm jealous. These guys work so quickly!

[@Troglodite89]

love that superman drawing...truely a work of art

[@slipknot4life86]

could watch this all day.. the superman sketch was effin sick!!!

[@skilletoif4]

if i could draw like that, i would never leave my desk

[@daabbot]

that was just a sketch for travis, lol. makes me wanna cry.

[@bonzelite]

I somewhat have to agree. I admire more the levels of knowledge of the anatomy of someone like John Buscema more than the execution of the same techniques. You can tell which artist has more experience with the foundations of drawing and anatomy over the artist who rely more on style itself and gimmicks of technique. Buscema and Kubert, among some on this series, are more skilled and talented than some of the others. You can tell because all of the artists draw the same things.

[@kevindouglas6120]

Man that looks good , I've got to try using some off white paper like that. The white pencil looks so cool. The Superman was ideal.

[@ionvash]

I agree. These guys weren't just born with that skill level, not all people realize you have to draw your ass off every day and always challenge yourself to grow into that kind of art level.

[@matineyang]

Love Charest’s style. I remember it catching my eye back on team 7 from image.

[@Titan020200]

Never been a big fan of how DC characters are drawn, but how can people draw like this on a daily basis, when my drawings would take months for it to look as good as these ones!

[@razertech1]

Dude that superman was fantastic!!!

[@baareraab]

I just finished watching this and wanted to write the exact same thing..these guys really know how to use a pencil..I can't even draw a stick man..

[@Chuckleslikestolaugh]

aw man i love this!!! mostly because its done in real time and he didnt put any loud out of place music in it

[@zadrhion]

That Fountain Pentel that Dave used is an amazing marker...don't think they make them anymore though. Anyone know?

[@Artisan1979]

This was Dave's redesign of Green Lantern for the series of one-shot books Stan Lee did with DC Comics' Superheroes. It gave artists a chance to break away from continuity and tackle these characters from a perspective never attempted. Like GL here is now an elemental guardian of the Earth.

[@laubeatz]

thanks for the upload, and leaving it with no music =) im amazed how they dont make any mistakes

[@wat3rbottl3]

best superman drawing i've ever seen.

[@LiamCatterson]

I love the sounds of these drawings. Always makes my mind fuzzy :P

[@TheEnmity]

I was hoping you had a Travis drawing from scratch, his was really just him coloring in the moon.

[@thunderkid1984]

Travis Charest...how do you describe his abilities? Otherworldly, superhuman...It's hard to put into words. He really is capable of some of the most strikingly unique, incredible artwork I've ever seen produced in any medium. I wish he did more actual comic book work or would at least continue to publish new sketchbooks/artbooks so we could get some of the magic in print. Great stuff!

[@vishifishi01]

I like dave gibbons shading, and superman looks badass

[@samnaps1]

That superman is legit!! very nice

[@Vawklin]

omg the inking of the green lantern is godly.

[@RedThorn]

Travis' Superman looks incredible. He looks like a MAN while still retaining quite a youthful look. That's what Superman should look like. The hair was spot on and the moon looked incredible. The lighting was masterful too. The only problem is the "S" shield is awkward. Awesome drawings!

[@Nick_Wertz]

I need more of these! They're awesome!

[@gthus]

i've always enjoyed travis charest's work. i've begun to notice how much matt busch renders things similarly to travis. they both seem to go after a norman rockwell style.

[@toydude100]

every time I watch stuff like this my mouth is always open and my mind goes blank. XD

[@SullyIsPrime]

the definition of talent, mashallah

[@TuttoHobby]

Very beautiful Superheroes!! Very Compliments for You art!!!

[@seathru]

Jim Lee is and always will be the best Superman/Batman artist of all time. Although Charest work here is bloody impressive - love the use of white.

[@IJLook]

I think Neal Adams probably will always be the best Superman /Batman artist nobody really comes close to his mark on them.

[@raiderloco01]

I like it, maybe they could add music to the drawing process. But boy do they make it look easy.

[@marknew91]

Thank you for posting these videos. It's so cool to see someone who's great at what they do, and to think of all the work involved in creating all the art that goes into a "simple" comic. If you want some examples of "live action" super powers, feel free to click on my screen name to the left (Marknew91) and look at the short uploaded clips (I play RPGs so seeing superpowers is helpful). It'd be cool to think one of my silly 1970s TV clips heled inspire an artist!

[@dateddybug]

Wow! Magic hands!!

[@Banana10044]

Omg how do u do does shading lines so well very good talent

[@aramis441]

Anyone else minutely examining the tools these great artists are using, the pens, markers and brushes? I am.

[@TheYellowKey]

Thank you very much for this gift!

[@Mgm1976-j9w]

Awesome. Thanks for posting!

[@p1nesap]

Charest's technique here is fun.

[@cristobalaguilera6037]

i was expecting dave gibbons to draw something of watchmen but still a great job

[@lacurvadevillena]

really cool by travis , always one of my favorites !!

[@halo4xgamer]

l love the sound of drawing pencils and pens in the marnin

[@brandonc.9244]

Not me. I hate that *squeak* sound that Sharpies make. it hurts my ears.

[@joeofmacabre07]

The Toast and also the balloon squeak

[@paytheadonis]

man wow your line are so tight and clean just pure awesomeness i need to get my line s like that have any pointers

[@The72challenger]

...drawing like this comes from a manifestation of discipline and commitment. Spend 10 hours a day, everyday and you will see results that even will surprise you!...

[@Makedonwow]

Great vids, thanks for uploading! I think they are from 'Spider-Man: Once Upon a Time, the Heroes' DVD, as mentioned in another part of this upload trilogy. Awesome artistic work. Also, the sounds of pen drawing on paper is really mesmerising imho :p

[@TiagoStille]

If you never leave your desk, you will someday draw like that. They are extremely talented, sure. But they draw like that not because they have "a gift". They draw like that because they practice. And that you can do too. :)

[@bashtxus]

Pure magic.

[@fnrage]

I'd love to see the full video of Travis Charest drawing that Superman piece from start to finish. Any idea if that film exists?

[@YourMajestyNAS]

this video makes me relax.

[@xyoutubearchivex]

Jesus I watched all 3 videos Thats amazing :D I picked up on a few techniques and things they use, so it will help me :D Thanks muchly for these vids

[@TheDylandProductions]

DANG! That Superman was pretty good. I can draw like that, but i'm just bad at inking. That's why most of my artwork has to be saved quickly, or it will be gone. :(

[@saykkon]

Jesus this is perfect!

[@DarkIndustries]

damn thats awsome...but I have a questions and it might sound dumb but if the moon is at the upper right side of the drawind shouldent the light reflect in the upper left side of superman´s body? but well w/e its excessively awsome... good videos!!

[@CLRF2]

Travis Killed It!!!

[@Erny25]

I believe "fountain pentel" is the pen Gibbons is using in the beginning.

[@KazzyEss2k9]

monochromatic drawings are awesome

[@dawnpyro43]

I like what Travis' work on Superman. Very artistic! It only seemed like a rough sketch, but he focused more on the details. Have you seen what he did with the moon? Very great!!! What was the coloring pencil he used? Dermatograph?

[@slowphobia]

Omg if I had enoug h talent to draw 1/100 as good as this it would be amazing?

[@TwinkyGlitten]

great line-work. I'm curious what that pen is. At the moment i use sakura's and faber castell's, neither of which i find to be perfect.

[@robforge7492]

ghost heart idk if you're still wondering but I'm pretty sure it was a pentel brush pen

[@gorillazrulex]

its sooo sharp and exact !!

[@superlaughingman]

travis charest is just insane

[@KazzyEss2k9]

i came for the drawing and stayed for the asmr + drawing

[@Rcinch1]

Those "Fountain Pentel" pens are hard to find. I don't think that they are being made anymore. I guess when Dave Gibbons was drawing with it in this video, the video may be an old one. Damn!

[@EasternTriad]

Maybe someone could help me out with this. What type of pencils are being used to draw Superman? Regular color pencils or pastels? And finally, what type of ink is he using to draw the stars and highlights on the moon? Acrylic titanium white? Thanks, guys:0)

[@lllBOOZERlll]

What is that type of marker you are using that looks like a paintbrush. I'd greatly appreciate it. This is amazing art and style.

[@draco77vector49]

Awesome work, wondering what kind of pen are you using?

[@MrChochol1]

AMAzing this guy, is so tallented

[@origamijery]

that drawing is amazing

[@freddie4321]

Every line they put on the paper is perfect. -_- I don't think they even have erasers....

[@ionvash]

Thanks for leaving the audio untouched, very appreciated...

[@zaisadahy12]

this is awesome !

[@SamvoltS]

Dr. Manhattan is an awesome character

[@SantyComics]

the point is: you could draw like that IF you never leave your desk

[@tfjzz]

this sooo beautiful! thank you batmitey for uploading and sharing!!

[@thejoker3644]

travis is CRAZY

[@thejoker3644]

its a sad thing they are old now though, great artists

[@apolog777]

travis is amazing! a great video!...

[@picci8]

great vid. anyone know what the white pen travis was using is?

[@jbyrd117]

What are these videos from?

[@RichYan33]

Yes. Were are these from. Fantastic but a little commentary would have been nice.

[@LuisisLoopy]

that is way to good

[@adsasfd]

hes using a different coulour paper for the supefr man pic i was wondering how the hell got the white on the paper very clever pic looks sick

[@NexusArtRealm]

Great work!

[@Ninjaman451]

one word Brilliant

[@SukhberS]

I would give up my first child to Satan if I could draw like Travis.

[@poklar]

That Superman drawing was superb! What kind of pen did he use to do the stars and add that sort of shine/glow effect to the moon?

[@andrith1798]

amazing artwork , but who did Dave Gibbons draw?

[@venomtang]

i wish i owned that superman pic, damn

[@microsim2000]

i love the sound of the scribbles...
