[@terryzhou2851]

Now you have to become someone else's idol and continue the idol chain

[@solomonescobar8911]

That's... Kind of overwhelming

[@SometimeSun]

POV: Scott’s your idol 😀

[@b1xssom838]

Can’t wait to be an artist and send Scott something one day, along with all the other people he inspired lolol

[@ssavaart]

[@J4D3_X0X]

Same! He inspired me to try watercolor again and now it’s my favorite medium :D

[@ZDragonimated]

He really inspired me as well, to sketch more and try some new styles. I'm also experimenting with paint!

[@We.love.zuzanna]

Pov: He's you're idol but you cant touch paint only crayons"

[@justlilly7653]

Scott is so kind. Many artists, especially with Scott's skill get a big head. Scott knows his own talent but still had inspirations and thanks the ones who helped him along the way.

[@Fluffy_noodles]

My dad used to collect the comics! He said that he was also inspired by his works and was so excited when I showed him this video.

[@meagancaughran4239]

You are so underrated, your artwork is so amazing and I hope you go viral

[@ssavaart]

Thanks so much! ♥

[@Lozaplodicus]

Great painting! And I just wanted to say: I love how you, as an established, talented and wonderful artist, are so open about being inspired by other artists - I've always felt like it's been almost taboo to take inspiration from others and that somehow any art I did would have to be completely original and unique, with my own style that I've managed to create entirely of my own imagination. It's put me off doing any art whatsoever for so many years, as I've felt I could never live up to those unrealistic expectations; I'd never be as good. You are the first artist I've come across that is genuinely inspiring me to get into art again. Thanks ❤️

[@BubblyViolin11]

It’s really interesting seeing all these comic books become movies. I just watched Thor the other day (different universe I know, but originally taken from a comic series nonetheless) and this vid made me realize that it makes sense we’re seeing all these movies now. Gen X really was the generation that grew up with these comics. Us Millenials had them too, but a lot of them were produced already so we had to work backward. Now that Gen Xers have worked up the ranks in their careers, it makes sense that we’re seeing so many of these comics come to life now.

[@JimOFJIM]

Amazing to learn, along with the great art! Both yours and his.

[@blade_324]

That’s awesome man!

[@Schellsea]

I don’t think there’s anything more humbling, yet so touching for an artist to see than their dedicated fans make a piece of art that was inspired by them; it just shows that no matter who you are, as long as you continue to persevere, you will have touched others in a way that makes them feel like they can do the same!

[@phredbookley183]

"Immaculate" is a word we all hope will be applied to our work one day. Solid stuff right here

[@addybishop308]

I felt that way when I met David Mack. I loved kabuki from the beginning when it was just black and white. When he started using full color and crazy non traditional page layouts I was in awe! Every page looked like a painting. He was incredibly gracious and one of the nicest artists I’ve ever met.

[@JoanieBC]

Meeting your idols isn't a bad thing. In fact, I think it helps you to further understand yourself better. So happy you got to meet Steve Rude.

[@jovanatrifunovic8110]

This is the second day of asking foor Serbia - Wolf 🐺 Also you are the one who inspired me, your art is amazing!

[@rockroo9874]

Thats so cool!

[@babypalooza8218]

Hi Scott you inspire me

[@anichow2035]

I have been following this channel for quite some time now and would wholeheartedly want to thank Mr Sava for his art tutorials..... I am a student and your tutorials helped me alot to improve my art... And thank you for inspiring me work with watercolour.

[@Beeveene]

Your art is really cool and has inspired me to try new styles, thank you

[@AllenBoudreaux]

Love the Madman cameo... How Rude!! 😂

[@Frovael]

If I could meet my idols, you'd be the first on my list Scott, no cap I very much love the energy you create in the room :)

[@Beebs.__.]

And Thank you to give many of us Inspiration to do Art!

[@wanderingpenguin6705]

Your art is beautiful. Steve inspired you and you have inspired others, the cycle continues

[@charlieandhisantics9954]

"Meeting Vivienne Madrano" has officially been added to my bucket list. For those who only know her by her alias, Vivienne Madrano is Vivziepop, creator of Hazbin Hotel, Zoophobia, and Helluva Boss.

[@valaineperry]

I don't know if I could call you an idol, but I'm starting watercol0or for the first time since childhood because of you. Its wonderful. So thankful for examples that show us what is possible!

[@cheryl-lynnmehring8606]

Scott you have OFFICIALLY made it when you meet your idol!💘

[@raypaz2947]

He is awesome. I love his style I love his characters. One of my favorite comic book artists. Though I also have a lot of comic book artists I admire. Even some of the more recent artist.

[@Vixmaz]

This year I started art for my mental health. I was so unsure on what to do, what kinds of medium I wanted to try I felt so over my head. Then I found you on tiktok and you've helped me learn and enjoy making art. Thank you for inspiring me to love art.

[@00sarasota000]

Scott, I've looked up to you for the last few months and I think ur tips and tricks really helped. Now, I know how to draw side-profiles and poses. You've really helped me and I owe all of my art success to you! Thanks for everything, Scott!

[@ssavaart]

Absolutely My Pleasure ♥

[@rohithpadikkal7082]

Wow, amazing! I've never heard of Mr Steve or seen his works, but their style reminds me a lot of Alex Ross' works..the heightened realism with a touch of 1950s pulp covers!

[@Charpopelka]

I love that there is a bit of Mucha in most of your art. It's beautiful.

[@arlieastoryandexperience2274]

I find it amazing to watch and listen to someone that I would could consider to be a master and an inspiration to me, talk about his own inspirations and to call someone else a master of the art feild. I've seen a few a you videos about art styles and technics. And honesty i find your water color to be a marvel and it has inspired me to try and start watercolor myself. But when people like you who are my inspirations talk about their own it really reminds me that no matter you skill level everyones art is equal and beautiful and is always going to be worth the time put in as long as you love it, whether you've been doing it for days, years, or even decades. Thank you.

[@AmbiCahira]

I love this! ❤️ Thank you Scott for being such a huge inspiration both as an artist and as a human being.

[@cyber_punk8778]

That’s awesome! Glad to hear! By the way, are you fine with me calling you Mr. Scott?

[@l1l1th3]

I’m so glad others artists I look up to use random objects for circles/straight lines as well🖤

[@ellz223]

I am glad that Steve rude wasn’t rude

[@dragonfist777]

This is awesome Mr. Sava! I love the fact that you started with thumbnails. Please do more as its grate to see your thought process for your images!

[@sythnex3218]

Im an aspiring comic writer and artist and I’m still working on my style and trying to get better at perfecting my craft!! Your videos have inspired me to keep practicing!! So thank you for All the tips and amazing videos!!!

[@2dsimp961]

I actually started a comic, currently at chapter 3. Its really short and the whole plot is ripped from a game along with the characters. Even so its fun!

[@Tsessawin_The_Furry]

You are the one who inspires me. I love your art Scott! And hope to be like you.

[@silentstorm_art]

You are my inspiration, your art is amazing and you have inspired me to continue realism with people animals and so much more. Thank you.

[@3gigajoules]

oh my gosh. i grew up admiring steve rude's art in my favorite batman and superman comic series. that's amazing ! (and totally Not a teeny tiny bit jealous)

[@wolfskralle]

That is so cool! I hope I can meet you one day, because you inspired me, to draw more and you are such a great artist! Thanks for inspiring me!❤️

[@Xiboo_x]

I am so happy for you Scott!

[@tyrazbrunson8637]

[@peterrindy596]

Did not know it at the time but in my comic inking class in college we were given Nexus pages to practice inking on, so cool to learn that they actually came from a real comic

[@safetylast6482]

Thank you Scott for the videos, you are my idol!

[@vansprinkes]

Can't wait to meet you!

[@Flamez_Edits.]

You inspire me and give idea as a young artist

[@wilsontappan]

and love your art style

[@jakegodofballs]

For me it would be definitely you! Youve inspired me to start drawing again. I get exited every time i see more of your art ive started trying to add a bit of your styles into my art like the background u always scared that i would ruin my painting with a background but now i know that it doesn’t have to be a realistic background it can just be a simple pattern. I cant wait for one day maybe meeting you too!

[@dianafoskey4129]

AWESOME and I love the painting

[@Moo-2310]

I'm a young artist and some new pens for me arrived today! They're the zebra brush ones you love, and I'm completely obsessed! Drew a few little pictures and filled them with watercolour, I was so happy when the outline didn't bleed or disappear.

[@ssavaart]

This makes me so happy. ♥

[@yugimtuazon3315]

Thank you for inspiring me to make comics 🎉

[@crazysasha1374]

I like that you say you got to meet him, then proceed to say absolutely nothing about the encounter. Instead you go on about his career and amazing talent and how inspirational he is to you.

[@ssavaart]

Oh. It was online. So it wasn't more than some nice emails back and forth. ♥

[@mackenzieseylerschmidt1302]

You're so good at art and I'm trying to make beautiful art like you. You are my idol!

[@Sgyupke]

Can u do a half and half painting, with ‘guash paint’ and watercolour paint, maybe of Zendaya Met Gala 2017, she had lots of gorgeous hair, and we know you love doing hair, plus her dress was bright so we could really see the difference in colour

[@neerajkanthwal]

Wow. I am so honored. Thanks so much! ♥

[@dylankidd6192]

I am already watching a master at work

[@maxbanh]

I have a lot of favorite artists, can’t remember all their names but I’m inspired by Jim Lee especially his X-men and Batman stuff, Steven Butler because of Silver Sable, DitKo and Ramos, Don Perlin, Paul Norris because of long haired bearded aqua man. I also am inspired to be a comic book artist and writer in the future as I’m doing research for the future, im 20.

[@justtommy729]

I got too meet my Idol David Garcia (One of the illustrators for TMNT and Panda Con) and it was one of the best things ever! He was so nice and gave me and my dad some good tips!
