Harry Clarke Master Studies in Pen and Ink

[@longstrideillustration]

I hope you enjoyed this video with Harry Clarke who was on the list of frequently requested masters. Unfortunately, there is a misspelling of his name in a few of the slides, please forgive this. Also, let me know in the comments if you are interested in a James Jean feature in the future.

[@bigblue6917]

James Jean looks like a very interesting subject for a future video.

[@CirprianoRamirez]

I just discovered your channel and saw this video. I am very interested in this style of artistic work. I have started practicing and thanks to your video I learned something new. I have already started following you. Thank you very much for what you share!

[@thaisfrota]

I'm completely fascinated by Clarke since my father got me the Poe's book you mentioned illustrated by him when I was 13

[@zatoichimasseur6767]

You were 13 years old when clarke illustrated Poe’s book?

[@thaisfrota]

@zatoichimasseur6767 no, I was 13 when my father gave me a copy of the book

[@francineh.7825]

I love your last drawing!! I have to admit I was holding my breath when you were inking the sword.

[@dianeo]

Fascinating style! Will have to explore more of Clarke's work. Thank you for featuring him. Also interested in James Jean.

[@lesleygoodall-page8035]

I’d love to see a James Jean video. Your breakdown of the masters work is very inspiring and pushes me to push myself to be more varied and make my work more complex

[@longstrideillustration]

Great to hear!

[@SuperEdo45]

I always learn so much from your videos Chloe thank you so much!❤

[@BobNaff]

Yes please do a James Dean video. I really enjoy all of your studies of pen and ink. I learn something from each and every one. Thanks

[@Gusseig]

I love James Jean's work, especially his covers for the Fables comic series... that would be cool.

[@longstrideillustration]

Excellent!

[@rachelturgeon114]

Absolutely exquisite. I love your studies of Clarke’s work and how you integrated his pattern work into your own. It was also interesting to me that he worked in stained glass and that you kept this in mind as you were working. Great , great content. I’m getting out my pens tonight. So inspiring. Thank you.

[@longstrideillustration]

I'm so happy to hear that you're inspired to get the pens out after watching one of my videos. It was super exciting to do this master study, I would never have thought of practicing Harry Clarke without the suggestions of this community. Have fun tonight!

[@claudiovrm]

Amazing! wow love this artist!!! Thank u for introducing me to him,,Love this chanel!!! Subscriber

[@Anielzambrano]

Muchas Gracias Maestra Artista ,siempre admiro su trabajo y habilidad, que tenga usted muchos éxitos👍👍👍

[@JackMagedi]

Superbe vidéo ! Très pédagogique et pleine de charme ! Merci et bravo.

[@longstrideillustration]

Merci! 😊

[@czechingouttasmania]

Awesome, I had lots of fun doing a study of one of his pieces a few years back, so many tiny little heads! :D

[@caseyfrechette]

I was not really familiar with either Clarke or Jean, I like Clarke a lot though, and I think you're probably right about the influence on Jean. I love your two sword dance! I am especially fond of the background work with the combination of solid blacks for the trees and the linework behind them, it is just gorgeous and really compliments the incredible figure drawing, and manages to avoid competing with the incredible complicated hair's directional chaos. Simple, clever, and really effective. I'm so inspired!

[@longstrideillustration]

Thanks for your kind words! I aimed to mimic the Clarke-isms 😅

[@Taka_Takata]

I saw the finished dancer drawing in the newsletter (missing from this video 😞) and I was truly entranced by his grace and elegance . A very beautiful drawing, congratulations. And thanks for making me discover the great Harry Clarke! Yet another session of online sleuthing for the perfect, best but affordable book about a pen artist... 🙄

[@longstrideillustration]

I know what you mean, there are so many great books I'd love to get my hands on (especially the out-of-print collector ones). sigh

[@Domino365-q3k]

Love his work very detailed

[@rivards1]

Wow - an inkmaster I wasn't familiar with, and I love it! Very Art Nouveau. Love you too, even though you say "macaber" 🙂

[@longstrideillustration]

lol thank you!

[@kmscheid3303]

This was great, I didn't know about Clarke. Thank you for the explanations of his style, it makes it more clear to my muddled brain. You made a quick mention of patterns in the grass; van Gogh . . . so much to say, but you might be interested in his sketches. They're great fun to try to copy. Thanks again

[@longstrideillustration]

I'm glad that you enjoyed the Clarke video. There have been mentions of Van Gogh in previous comments and he was certainly an influence on many after him (and on my list). Thanks!

[@yellowbicycleartstudio8974]

Great video! Your artwork is amazing and your videos are very informative.

[@ChantelleArts]

this is fascinating 🥰

[@eliezeroliveira7594]

Eu conheci seu canal hoje, amei!!!! Eu sou desenhista e compositor musical, eu nunca tinha visto um canal que abordasse ilustrações neste estilo! Virei seu seguidor na hora! Parabéns pelo canal, vou assistir os outros vídeos! Desejo-lhe sucesso!!!

[@longstrideillustration]

thank you! I'm glad to hear you enjoyed the videos and welcome to this community!

[@zatoichimasseur6767]

Cool. Thank you for this study.

[@TheTimeshadows]

😢Clarke is one of my favourites; you've done well with his style.

[@longstrideillustration]

Much appreciated!

[@theamericanpatriot1776]

Thank you for this amazing video!

[@tomowen1951]

Harry Clarke was a genius.

[@emanuelagiorgini4451]

Bravissima. Molto interessante. Grazie .😊👍👍❤

[@bigblue6917]

Hi Chloe and thanks for the video. I have come across Harry Clarke before so it is good to hear your thoughts on him and to see your interpretation of his work which I found delightful. I see you are also a follower of Pete Beard. Like yourself another channel I always look forward to seeing. I don't know if you remember but a while back I mentioned that here in Britain we have an online arts collage, the Open Collage of the Arts. Well I finally got sorted out and I start studying with them next month. I am doing a BA in Drawing.

[@longstrideillustration]

Oh wow, congrats on your upcoming studies, that sounds exciting!

[@rallyrobx7604]

Absolutely interested in a James Jean feature.

[@longstrideillustration]

awesome!

[@LA6NPA]

Thank you for this! Currently looking for books to add my christmas wishlist with illustrations by interesting artists! This sure fits the bill! ❤

[@longstrideillustration]

Glad the video gave you ideas to add to the list 🙂

[@stygiantint]

this is gorgeous 100% ink drawing is epic✨✨👌👌

[@longstrideillustration]

Glad you enjoyed it.

[@justmechilling...]

He has a permanent collection in the Hugh Lane Gallery in Dublin. They are gorgeous...❤

[@longstrideillustration]

I'd love to see it!

[@lissaborreguito-wd7vi]

Me gustó tanto que voy a tratar de hacer uno😃a ver cómo me queda. Bendiciones y saludos desde Holanda 😊❤❤❤

[@longstrideillustration]

Have fun with your project! Thanks for watching.

Explore Aubrey Beardsley’s Art Style -- if anyone is interested: Aubrey Beardsley’s illustrations are a masterclass in bold contrasts and intricate detail. Known for his whimsical and provocative themes, his work blends fine calligraphic lines and elaborate patterns with striking black-and-white compositions. Inspired by Japanese woodblock prints and the Pre-Raphaelites. Art that invites you into a world that is both ornate and subversive.

[@chrissoares23]

Great video. Plus one for a James Jean video. How about a Frank Miller Sin City?

[@longstrideillustration]

Frank Miller is on the list for sure 👍

[@chrissoares23]

@longstrideillustration I couldn't remember her name last night. Aubrey Beardsley reminds me of Harry Clarke's work. 🙂

[@longstrideillustration]

@@chrissoares23 oh yes, that's why I picked her and Willy Pogany for my Community quiz on Clarke, their styles are similar :)

[@dormitria]

Super!

[@AeternumInferis]

I wonder if he was influential to anime and manga. The big eyes and heads reminds me of something along those lines.

[@longstrideillustration]

That's a great observation, and it's likely that most of the ink work we admire today was influenced by the early 20th century artists (esp. with engraving backgrounds).

[@JEBavido]

The light in his work looks like the pieces are in a cavern, to me.

[@Towndusk]

yay!

[@danilosimao-e9f]

aqui e brazil

[@marjoriebader5754]

He seems to have picked up some design ideas from Kay Nielsen

[@longstrideillustration]

ooh I love Kay Nielsen! Adding to the list!

[@scgmhp2548]

Clarke with an e

[@longstrideillustration]

Darn! I misspelled it in the title pages (I'm the worst). 🙄

[@scgmhp2548]

Lol. No. You're the best.​@@longstrideillustration

[@GR-jw7ns]

Clark with an e is the Irish way of spelling the name where as the English way is minus the e. Also happens with the surnames, Hayes and Dunne for example.
