At this level of talent, I’ve always wondered if such an artist like Mr. Lee, ever truly feels the drawing is finished?

[@klim6440]

A lot of hard work and repetetive drawing stop taking credit from people amd saying its talent when talent doesnt really exist and we all know it, its not like he was born as a child with this superpower called talent he just loved to do it and practised a lot.

I would rather call that the skills of a master who's had over 30 years of experience and practise within this field

[@kbap2381]

I love how his drawings be bull shit in the beginning and a masterpiece at the end. My favorite artist

[@suicideleopard9838]

Usually how most art pieces are made. Always a rough sketch first and the details are for last

[@warhammer1]

He's been a professional artist for around 40 years now, there is no bullshit in his process.

[@kbap2381]

If you read what I said I said he was my favorite artist Jim Lee is a legend.

Jim lee is rough sketching then refined.

My Lord... I think i'll never have enough of Jim's drawings. I fell in love with American Comic when i red Batman:Hush that he has drew drawings for. That's unbeliveable how amazing his artworks look . I'd love to draw as good as he does someday.

[@pemo2676]

@skankhunt42 This isn't required, you shouldn't force yourself to do it everyday. You can improve just as well by drawing as a hobby whenever you're inspired or bored.

[@nasserfirelordarts6574]

@skankhunt42 8 months of about 50 mins drawing time a day, (50 cuz I might have 0 a day and 2 hours the next, although generally 50), I used to draw like a kid, now however, I may (not always) pass for a professional artist's work Then again, I'm still 14 so my stuff kinda still needs time

[@yesimcringy_]

This comment is a year late but drawing everyday doesn't make u better u have to learn how to draw perspective and anatomy and all that other fun stuff and when u start learning all different techniques that's when u draw everyday so u learn and practice then without a doubt you'll definitely become better and improve

[@jasonouarda29]

..The irony of this.. i had my sketch book while deployed in Iraq

[@natehuff8257]

Former Marine 98-07, the rifle in question is a M16A1, and the "heat dissipation" over the barrel is a hand guard. You're an amazing artist! Thank you for your tribute and works of art. Blessings to you Sir.

[@hechun6903]

Ive seen this done on computer...but this guy does it on paper using regular stuff? Impressive, indeed.

[@Seamo57]

“Alien Pooper-Scooper!” That’s def the barrel, yes, very good description Jim! Fantastic as always. What’s really amazing is that put in so much time (essentially drawing everything!!!)you’ve drawn so much, so many different things, from Superheroes, consisting of every different sized bodies, Of course the Image Comic days saw lots and lots of pouches!!!!!!!… Which I loved back then. I remember mimicking that when I was a young teenager. But, Wielding that brush like a true pro, you can truly say that the fact that you’ve drawn vehicles and buildings and just so many different Objects and characters, that you can pull it out of your head without reference. That is true mastery! Well done Jim,

[@Piyush-bx8tc]

Nice playlists you got there!👍

[@roman2011]

this is priceless. i can't believe im able to learn from one of the greatest artist. Jim was consistantly ranked #1 comic artist and mcfarlane behind...maybe they switched now and then spots but it's been awhile. what a time to be alive.

[@cookieDaXapper]

........boy he sure is rough on his micron. A master at work, thank you for letting us into your studio, PEACE.

[@MrOnepiece14]

It was absolutely amazing to see him bring this from a simple sketch to a work of art. I'm inspired!

[@joshuagonzalez9224]

Jim @15:50: the tip of the gun has a special mussel flash that-kinda looks like an alien..... Me: hand? Tool? Prong? Whatever it is-it must resemble something cool! Jim: ....um.......pooper scooper

[@westprogamer3294]

You don't need that Wacom Cintiq or that new Ipad pro or that expensive software! No more excuses, just draw! Truly inspiring Mr. Jim Lee!

[@bonz0886]

[@bayusabi]

The brush so juicy, but he can handle it perfectly.

[@filththeterrible]

I find myself playing some Jimi Hendrix as I watch this. So fitting.

[@commercialcbc]

Try "paint in black" (the Rolling stones) you will love it ! kzbin.info/www/bejne/pJqmeGCCedeBb7M

[@AlphaM0dZ]

in order to become an amazing artist like this you first have to develop the ability to handle not completely erasing and wiping away the eraser bits before you continue drawing again

[@pemo2676]

@Sota Possu No, you can't learn the fundamentals if you doubt your ability. If you doubt your ability and erase it you won't even be able to convince yourself and learn the fundamentals.

[@latchkeyed8474]

Sir Serendipity y’all didn’t see him erase the head?

The band on the helmet was used to attach foliage and other items for camouflage. GIs also wrote their names on them to identify their equipment since everyone has the same things if your name is on it you know its yours
