How to Draw Like Marc Silvestri | Master Study in Pen and Ink

[@caseyfrechette]

He's an old favorite--I loved the Top Cow stuff as a young teen, and it influenced the way I used to draw, and I still take a lot of influence from him. Somehow, I am sort of surprised to see you looking at him next, stylistically I think he's quite far from most of those you have studied on the channel! On an unrelated note, I just finished reading all the Vagabond, and now I am going to be aching for more. Thanks for turning me onto that with your channel--it's one of the coolest things I have ever read, and already a heavy influence on my drawing.

[@longstrideillustration]

I'm really happy you enjoyed the Vagabond series. I re-read every year and discover new things about it each time. Yeah, Silvestri was a request, and I was surprised by how much there was to learn from his approach.

[@caseyfrechette]

@@longstrideillustration I have joked before that he is the 'god of pentimento', he always finds the shape he wants, I never noticed the triangles and S's in his compositions before, I learned a lot from this video, despite plenty of studying his art on my own.

[@seaofcolour7431]

I have heard that the ink is the reality, and the pencil art is the illusion. Capturing the vitality and essence of a beautiful graphite drawing with ink is no easy task. I often do at least two inks of the same drawing and sometimes more of an artist’s work I really love and get better with each attempt. As far as I know, the original pencil art was never inked over and only photocopies were used.

[@longstrideillustration]

I can't imagine inking over someone's original pencils - that would be nerve-wracking for sure. You're 100% on that!

[@Jordan_Greenough]

I would LOVE to see a video where you could explain how to mash different styles of master inkers together! I've often wondered how that would be approached! Thanks for making great inking videos!

[@ivanriverajr5012]

You should do a video on his protege Michael Turner. Also brett booth. Those guys came up with some crazy styles that I love and can replicate but not as well and clean like these pros.

[@longstrideillustration]

Thanks for the suggestions!

[@inkandgrowrich9793]

Love your channel! Very nice work!

[@stygiantint]

Very cool, I just love Ink drawings because it looks epic for me thanks for sharing.

[@PadenBaggett]

I love Silvestri!!! I've tried to study his style before, but it never really came out quite right. This video will be a big help going forward! Some other artists I'd recommend for your videos are: Mike Grell Hugo Pratt Wallace Wood Claire Wendling Alex Raymond Even if you don't get to them, I love the channel. Keep up the great work!!!

[@longstrideillustration]

Thanks for watching and the suggestions! Wendling was already on my list, just added the others 😀

[@81modus]

Yes!!! He is ny favorite...so glad you did this one.

[@longstrideillustration]

Glad you liked it!

[@cobenhumphrey6972]

Thank you for that excellent analysis on Marc Silvestri's art style. I mean that guy is like a ‎Renaissance master in the realm of Comic Books.‎

[@longstrideillustration]

That's what I thought as well. Thanks for watching!

[@futuristica1710]

Your channel is amazing!

[@longstrideillustration]

Thank you so much!

[@bigblue6917]

Thankyou Chloe for another delightful and interesting video. Aways the highlight of my day.

[@longstrideillustration]

So kind to say, that made me smile!

[@nurdsmith]

Did not see this coming! Love this channel so much.

[@longstrideillustration]

That's what I like to hear ☺

[@drawingcomics]

Thanks for the channel. Your insights on inking have been incredibly helpful. I learn something new and unexpected with every video.

[@longstrideillustration]

I'm glad you're finding the channel helpful!

[@IraKane]

It's always a pleasure to see you working. If you think it would be interesting, you can take a look at Yoji Shinkawa's work at make a Master Study of him😁

[@longstrideillustration]

Thanks for the suggestion ... would be a good one to help me practice my brushwork and washes.

[@ChantelleArts]

I love this series so much ☺☺

[@longstrideillustration]

Thanks! Glad you're enjoying the master studies 😀

[@USERRINZLER]

As a student of his work and original art collectors of his work as well. You did really well.

[@longstrideillustration]

Wow, thanks so much!

[@onyxaesthetic9321]

Love your videos i lorn so much!! Could you do a video of how to do treesin different ways using crosshatching

[@finpark7785]

Finally!

[@longstrideillustration]

Glad that you enjoyed it. Davis art is classic, thanks for the suggestion.

[@disfortunate]

these videos are awesome

[@longstrideillustration]

Much appreciated!

[@MichaelMaitlen]

Excellent info, thanks for sharing!!

[@longstrideillustration]

I appreciate that, thanks for watching!

[@titussamuel16]

AMAZING❤❤

[@jessefisher701]

Another great video, really enjoy your clear pleasant voice as you work through these studies. In a world of loud childish videos you keep the focus easy to follow.

[@longstrideillustration]

Thanks so much for the kind words!

[@filnn]

Great video as always Chloe, thank you. Would you mind doing a video on rendering water from the sea or even lake water in pen and ink, please?

[@longstrideillustration]

On my list! Thanks for the suggestion.

[@CreativeSteve69]

I really enjoy hearing your insights in the art world Chloe. Truly inspiring and insightful to listen to. I just got back into art finding a fun prompt from inktober this year. As well as started to slowly ease through a proko course I pre ordered to learn about perspective drawing and having fun with it. :)

[@longstrideillustration]

I'm glad you're enjoying the journey back into art! 😊 Is that the perspective course with Marshall? I really want to take that one as well.

[@DamienDrgv]

Excellent ! Another exemple of the darkness?

[@longstrideillustration]

There's a bit more on my Instagram, sometimes I share extra footage in REELS fyi 🙂

[@rainbowgaming8441]

its all ways good to look at others and learn your own style never mimic anyones artwork

[@rivards1]

So sweet and hypnotic! Do you know of Graham Ingels? I know you don't do much with brushes, but his painterly style was amazing.

[@longstrideillustration]

I didn't know Graham Ingels, just looked him up, thanks for the suggestion!

[@rivards1]

@@longstrideillustration Of course. Ingels was Wrightson's original main inspiration.

[@RicDreamlandAvalon]

Thank you for this amazing series of videos. I love so much Silvestri's art in The Darkness comics, amazing compositions and work of shados, full of different interesting elements. Can you try with Rob de la Torre? His art for the Conan series is gorgeous and he also have some videos of his drawing process on youtube.

[@longstrideillustration]

Just added Rob de la Torre to my list, thanks for the suggestion!

[@BlackMath69]

very cool ... would love to see you break down Ralph Meyer

[@longstrideillustration]

oh yeah, I follow him on Instagram - his work with the Undertaker is very cool. Thanks for the suggestion!

[@rammisalami]

Would love to see a Trevor Von Eden breakdown! He had some of the most fluid lines I’ve ever seen.

[@longstrideillustration]

Good one! Thanks for the suggestion 😀

[@twk8520]

The base of the the Silvestri style is Walter Simonson and John bucema. The cool thing about marcs art is he's always evolving his 90s work is very different today. David finch draws like mark but with heavy blacks and more controlled line check it out.

[@longstrideillustration]

Great observations! Thanks for sharing 👍

[@digibreakthe1st12]

Good afternoon this came out really good , my suggestion for next comic book artist if you plan to breakdown and show could it be Whilce Portacio or Jeffery Scott Campbell

[@longstrideillustration]

Good suggestion, I’ll add them to the list!

[@Natecarricart]

I would love to see you cover MICHAEL TURNER and DALE KEOWN. BERNIE WRIGHTSON as well. All like Silvestri masters of line art.

[@longstrideillustration]

Thanks for the suggestions!

[@81modus]

Do you sell these?

[@longstrideillustration]

Thanks for asking. I don't typically sell my master study sketches however I do sell some of my original work on my website and through galleries.

[@default4677]

Maybe you can check out the works of Mangaka Masasumi Kakizaki. Its almost breathtaking.

[@longstrideillustration]

Yes! Masasumi Kakizaki is on my list 👍 Thanks for the suggestion.

[@default4677]

The first step to draw like Mark Silvestri is to be Mark Silvestri.

One can always dream ☺

[@manuelchiacchiaretta6851]

'' The hatching marks are angled from main character's core?'' you don't know what you're talking about

[@longstrideillustration]

Give it a try, see for yourself
