Illustrator Reacts to Good and Bad Comic Book Art 2

Was definitely not cool of me to not credit the Inkers and colourists, I promise to do that in the next episode! Sorry about that everyone!!!

[@emdeda2018]

PopCross Studios probably been requested so many times already but, could you react to how Araki’s art in the jojo manga changes drastically across his work to the point where it’s a whole different art style?

[@CenturyBoyLanding]

[@corvus1970]

Anyone who says Alex Ross "cheats" because he creates reference photos to help draw from is, frankly, a jealous fool.

[@legendofsonic3979]

corvus1970 most people using that argument don't even know how to draw, if they did they'd know proper references are a must have for a good artist

[@drmsanford]

Norman Rockwell used reference images. Alex comes across from the same school of illustrator.

[@nine-vi7rw]

True. It's not like he copies the reference exactly as it is anyway, he exaggerates certain features and changes the line of angle to give it a more "animated look", clearly showing skill in using references.

[@danielwilson8604]

As som one who illustrates himself and hopes to do it professionally, I don't get that complaint. Sometimes a reference is needed, and it's not cheating, it STILL takes work and effort for to make the image work.... Heck, it takes about as much effort to make the photos viable references.

[@Netherwolf6100]

corvus1970 tracing is cheating. Using real world references to make characters look more human is cool.

[@erikkaye1114]

Alex Ross's style virtually demands reference material. He has the technique to create stunning hyper realism. If the anatomy and lighting isn't perfect, it would fail.

[@futurestoryteller]

Look at the Shazaam art next to its reference: the posture, proportions, setting, figurative prominence, facial structure, and elasticity of the costume are *all* different. He took a picture of someone indoors for exterior artwork, and it still turned out perfectly. Even if the model was standing by a window, he's still not being lit the same way as if he'd been outdoors. Yet that's one of the only things he used. So, I don't think I can agree that his style demands reference. Maybe it does, he's the one deciding to use it after all, but he cans a lot of it in the end. I'm really impressed by how useless that reference feels in comparison to the finished artwork.

Well when you look at Alex Ross when he started out; he was basically doing stick figures with blobs of color around them, he vastly improved because he got proper training, both from an arts school and from his Mum, Lynette Ross, who is also an artist. So it's possible for anyone to get that good, only reason he got to be that good was because of his formal training (the people in his art are so lifelike because he tends to hire real people as models that pose for him too, he then paints on the superhero garments), and you can try learning some art theory and copy his artworks if needs be, but at the same time; don't be afraid to search for a style that resonates best with you.

Guyver by Yoshiki Takaya. One of the longest running manga series, it has been going since 1985. What fascinates me about it are the extremely complex and detailed character designs. Takaya took influence from many Tokusatsu style sources. As manga styles have continually evolved as the years have passed many (not all) more modern series have moved towards more stylized less detailed character renderings I have always found it heartening looking back to the series that have been going constantly since the 1980's such as Guyver, Berserk, and JoJo and being blown away by the sheer amount of drawing and inking that went into each individual panel. An intricate style that has slowly been disappearing for many years now.

Nice to see you reviewing Mignola's work. Most comic/layout artists have a little bit of graphic design experience, but I've heard said that Mike Mignola has talent in BOTH graphic design and illustration. They aren't wrong. Every piece of his art is a treasure.

[@The_Jewish_Crusader_King]

some manga artist you should check: Kentaro Miura - berserk Hirohiko Araki - jojo bizarre adventure Jungi Ito - veries (focus mainly on his monster desing and body horror) Itagaki Keisuke - Baki(in case you thought Rob Liefeld draws insane body poportions) Tite Kubo - Bleach (his earlier work was amazing but with time his art has gotten less imprasive)

[@DougyisHere]

Ya baki is fucking nuts

[@ArlanKels]

Bleach got progressively worse because of two things. One was the grind, pushing that out weekly means you're usually trying to find ways to cut corners. The other is probably just a lack of drive. Even if you want to keep doing the story after years of doing it you're going to start feeling the weight of the work. But yeah there's a ton of great art out there(And awful). I mean check out Eat-man's artist: kzbin.info/www/bejne/pmG8kKV5e9qnrJI

[@DrFumblesMcStupd]

All the sailor moon art books are gorgous and pretty much spot on for fashion illustration. naoko takeuchi is big into fashion and a lot of the looks still hold up. She also does some cool stuff like putting beads, doilies or salt on her art and photographing it to get texture. If you do her definately look at the art from the sailor moon art books

I wondered why his entries in the Marvel Zombies Volume 1 (well, the Fantastic Four arc that introduced the concept) looked so inconsistent and why the women looked so ... well, pornographic. Now I know. And, now that I know, yea, he's awful. Going back and re-reading those parts with this knowledge makes them look that much worse.

@PopCross Studios I recommend checking out Tetsuo Hara's art especially in Fist Of The North Star as he was basically one of the few artists who started the trend for the manly anime art style and depicted the anatomy of bodybuilder's and famous action stars quite wonderfully. I would recommend checking out both his older stuff as well as his last pieces. His use for complementary colours is great which in turn accentuates the story and character's emotion. Also, unlike newer artists, he primarily used watercolour paints for colouring. Sorry, this was long as shit but hey I got a lot of good stuff to say about Hara's work.

Stuart Immonen is one of my favorite artists. He has a simple. fluid art style but manages to capture motion and dynamics with the best of them. I honestly don't understand why he isn't talked about more within the pantheon of comic legends. Even Jim Lee - who is a personal hero of mine - really is only great at hero poses but not capturing action.

Yeah that is my only complaint of Jim Lee. His work is truly amazing, but he does not draw action very well.

I almost can't even comprehend what Alex Ross gets out of using reference images, the end result is often *so* different, when you consider that the _details_ - the things most likely to be helped by reference - are often left out, altered or exaggerated in such a way that you can imagine being second nature to a career artist, you're almost left to wonder if he needs them as much as he thinks he does.

Great (Air Gear), Takeshi Obata (Death Note, Bakuman.), Kentarou Miura (Berserk), Adachitoka (Noragami, Alive: The Final Evolution), Naoki Urasawa (Monster, 20th Century Boys), and Karakarakemuri (Takeru: Opera Susanoh Sword of the Devil)

Check out Kentario Miura and/or Hirohiko Araki or Takehiko Inoue They are completely different artists but I love their work like Berserk(K.Miura), Jojo(H.Araki), and vagabond(T.Inoue) Of course there are many more mangas made by them but those I love the most

The thing with color themes in comics and other types of media is green is usually used to represent bad or evil things like poison or villains while red, blue and gold/yellow tend to be hero/good themes i/e health potions. While it’s not exactly a rule it an ordinary thematic choice.

Do7 I was told at the art institute of Philadelphia, that as long as you're NOT creating FINE ART. There is NO such thing as right or wrong. The simple fact that you are creating fantasy, let the sky be your limit or no limitations at all. Trees can be blue. The sky can be polka dot if you wish. Because it's your own created universe. Even perspectives can go askew! I agree with that statement.

Berserk should absolutely be a contender if you ever review manga. The art has changed significantly since it first game out like what, 25-30 years ago? I don’t remember, but I’d say it’s improved from the first book. Almost every panel is a masterfully crafted work of art and is definitely worth a look. It barely even resembles the typical manga/anime style, which I’d say is a good thing.
