He's such an interesting artist.His sketches are so messy. His ink is so messy. His lines are just scrubbed in with a wrist flick. And then the final product is this perfect masterpiece... It's amazing watching the master work.

[@jondo6983]

Not messy....energetic....not being rigid and mechanical is what breathes life into art

[@SDSOverfiend]

You think it's just messy

[@theraVen27]

SDS Overfiend what? No. Read!

[@BboyCustomz]

If you like that sort of thing check out how this Brian Stelfreeze vid: kzbin.info/www/bejne/ooLImnyKjbeeeqs

[@MakoHazard]

@@BboyCustomz That was an awesome video. Thanks!

[@wolverine8425]

Very refreshing to see Jim draw someone other than Batman or Superman.

[@AARONKAYE]

lol true

[@kperez3870]

Even his "messy sketches" (like someone commented below) are Master Pieces!

[@omegahtv6779]

DAMN...... that is TALENT!! Jim Lee and Andy Kubert are 2 of the BEST when it comes to comic book art!!! 🎨

[@VZAAGE]

Very good choices.

[@LVP463]

and alex ross

[@omegahtv6779]

VZA thanks

[@omegahtv6779]

Lani Pimentel True indeed.

[@jondo6983]

Omegah TV don't give a back handed compliment...these men are great artists period. No need to say COMIC artist...they are great period they can swing a fucking pencil with anyone....anyone!!!

[@c_fiddy7118]

Love the way he just throws those shadows in like nobody’s buisness

[@kesmeby]

It's hard to be properly inspired by this much well practiced and disciplined ability. People call it talent, but it only looks that way because he's put in the work which allows him to make it look "easy." I need to make the time to get better knowing I'll probably never get to this level, but I can get better.

[@sketchsmith21]

Bishop's Jeri Curl is legendry.

[@DennisCNolasco]

Man, his inking is on point! I've been doing ink brush daily for maybe half a year now (I have a bunch of them on my channel), but still need tons more improvement to be at his level--that is the ultimate goal!

[@johndangelo5689]

The King. Period.

[@johnathanclark79]

I love how you draw black characters by adding more shade lines. Love your detail lines, the way you draw hair and clothes wrinkles, boots soles and punches.

[@hoodieinfestation]

Dude, so boss. I draw a lot of fast sketches with techniques inspired by what I’ve seen this man use. It’s so much fun!

[@610south_rider]

I really get the feeling from watching this that Mr. Lee has drawn a thing or two

[@animefan6990]

Bowing down in total reverence. Flipping heck.

[@lucho_barrientos]

Impresionante y asombroso como solo Jim Lee lo sabe hacer 👌

[@leejohnhernandez7935]

I’ve never noticed this, not even in comic books, but Bishop....has a mullet!

[@salvation7362]

With construction lines like that... why does he even need them. Scribble on paper and then make a perfect comic image on top of it in ink. Crazy.

[@johnsmith3085]

I want to have his babies. His rough sketch was better than most people's final drawing.

[@furyberserk]

There is a rule in the comic book industry. Don't mess with Jim Lee's pencils.

[@midnightcat6116]

Okay that was amazing! ✨⚡️✨

[@grownmangamer942]

"M for Bishop!', that's funny. lmao

[@AlphaProto]

I wish I knew how to render hatching, and cross hatching like Jim. I either over do it, and muddy the lines. Or I under render.

[@Pope2501]

Hey, scott Williams! Trace this! (Just kidding, y'all.) Pleasure watching you draw ever since I used to go to every appearance you made in Texas after you released Wild C.A.T.s. All time favorite living penciler. Thanks for this cool channel!

[@VZAAGE]

I'm not Jim but thanks for the appreciation for the channel. From my experience... the best way to reach Jim and show your gratitude is through his Twitch channel while he's streaming or on Twitter.

[@deedeemcgovern8125]

art is my tool for my Ministry in story world too.

[@thadonis.]

Amazing content, thanks Victor and Jim :D

[@VZAAGE]

No problem, ThAdonis. Thanks for the support.

[@Nightscream72]

Beautiful.

[@Neon_Ghost1]

god dam he's too good! why you so good jim!?

[@djwilliams1749]

Jim Lee should be on the Mount Rushmore of comic artists...

[@zafaransari9972]

You are a great artists

[@Rizky-vc1py]

What brush pen is he using

[@bo0tsy1]

17 mins for a panel. On a character he remembered. Wow

[@general5886]

BADASS

[@mufeedco]

Awesome. Thank you..

[@popoysapwet2492]

Mr. Lee i know you probably won't read this bit how did you just draw and visualize the result. Damn

[@VZAAGE]

You're right. Jim probably won't see this. You should join the Discord discord.gg/jimlee and try asking your question there.

[@Nightscream72]

What is that implement for drawing in white called? I've seen white markers, but never something shaped like that. What is it? What's the brand? Anyone?

[@VZAAGE]

Here you go... amzn.to/34ltdvL

[@digiaotearoa5897]

outstanding maaan!!!

[@mattkevlarlarock5469]

i'm not into white ink pens that much, but that one is really cool. puts down a great line.

[@mattheweble5550]

I don't even think it was a white ink pen at all. I know he uses white out. Curious if that is what it was, just in a kind of fat pen form?

[@mattkevlarlarock5469]

it's called 'presto! jumbo correction pen' by pentel. watched him use it on another video awhile ago and actually went on amazon and looked at pic after pic to track it down. lol

[@mattheweble5550]

I'm definitely gonna have to track down a few for myself. It would come in very handy on multiple types of projects.

[@daylacro9733]

KEV'LAR BLASTSHIELD its not ink its CORRECTION PEN!!!

[@mattkevlarlarock5469]

Whatever. I dig the white stuff it exudes. lol

[@overlord5400]

Awesome

[@donovanwhitley775]

Does anybody know what drawing utensils Lee uses to create his drawings are called?

[@VZAAGE]

Here's a list of what Jim and several other artists use right here... vzaage.blogspot.com/2014/04/whatpen.html

[@deedeemcgovern8125]

R u a bishop as in preacher ? what is the bishop role ? as pastor.

[@matthewcauthorn1714]

what type of paper is he using?

[@totalitariantv1725]

Does anyone know what kind of pencil he is using?

[@VZAAGE]

The drafting one... amzn.to/2y6MaUM

[@gil_7038]

Damn! He draws without reference and fast.

[@picci8]

Those are the lines of someone who’s done this a million times over. Don’t be insecure with your work, just draw a million times.

[@Onthegoart7790]

Gosh, with a .08 too, your hand works like a computer man!

[@monyetguru]

mad skillz

[@aliensoup2420]

The hat brim adds a lot to the demonstration. Maybe next time you could just put a lens cap on the camera. Anyway, thanks for the great art lessons.

[@raymondsanik6546]

My favorite x-man :))

[@sczntaylor5061]

M for mutant, i think its a brand like the yellow star the Germans used

[@Xanclavious]

Like a fucking boss!!

[@kenRoberts1984]

Microwaves make great rice. Perfect rice for fried rice actually.

[@paulprice6330]

Jim scribbles like Picasso.

[@mauriciofonseca2079]

Just tried to draw his Bishop and the final result was ridiculous kkkkkkkkkk

[@IamCceeLL]

Whoever from youtube who puts this vid on my recommendation. Thank you

[@VZAAGE]

Thanks for stopping by. There's plenty more just like it on the channel and more on the way...

[@aceldamia9114]

This drawing turned out great, but why am I watching it? Bishop is a godawful character! Why do I do this to myself?

[@mychaleg]

M for Bishop! haha

[@scuppo]

Mychal Guzman M for Mutant

[@innavoiglopez]

It's not an m is W turned upside down for Whilce Portacio the creator of bishop.

[@ulyseeskillingsworth2828]

my confidence just dropped and lee just sent me back to the lab smh fuuuccck!

[@onedollah]

This guy is going places. Someone hire this guy to do x men or something.

[@largecheeto6964]

khong khing He's famous for doing x-men in the 90s

[@pasjan1183]

punchbutt comics Captain woosh, strikes again!

[@aznsketcher]

anyone own a copy of the new Uncanny X-Men #1? if you do, I feel sorry for ya. one of the backup stories has Bishop in it. Oh how the mighty has fallen. does Bishop have cancer now or what?

[@mike3574]

Nice. I just remembered that Bishop's character was originally a Filipino mutant, not sure why that concept didn't push through.

[@VZAAGE]

Yeah, I just read something about that. I like the fact that he's a prominent black character but it's pretty lame that Marvel didn't respect the wishes of Whilce.

[@mike3574]

Yeah, and during Whilce's run on the X-Men comics back in the good ol' 90's, at some point he had Colossus wear a Filipino jacket too. :) bit.ly/2gbrrGe

[@AlphaProto]

Bishop is Australian so that is something else interesting about him.

[@CLRF2]

So...Bishop is aborigine? Dopee

[@bigghoww]

Why did the creator of Bishop give him a jerry curl.

[@AARONKAYE]

because he was made in the 80's, when every black guy had one

[@bigghoww]

GODSON Official Music curls were mostly played in 91 (especially on the east coast). Only a couple states still rocked them.

[@mattheweble5550]

Godson, Bishop was early 90s man, not 80s.

[@VZAAGE]

Early 90s still had jerry curls going around. Eazy E and Ice Cube were prime examples.

[@AlphaProto]

I think Bishop is suppose to be native Australian.

[@josephwright1966]

How ironic that a black comic book artist Ken Lashley contact Jim Lee while Jim Lee draws a black superhero

[@bobigghhb3]

Joseph Wright lol 😂😂😂 when he said LEDKILLA, I was like "ain't that a bitch" lol

[@Handle...This.]

Dude literally started with some picasso bull💩 then turned it into a badass drawing...wtf man!

[@gee355Art]

TFS I'm like 'Jim! Stop putting tip ex all over it! It doesn't need it!!' Heh what do I know? Amazing

[@davidkeirle7080]

Korean Rob Liefeld.

[@smithwesson8032]

David Keirle Jim has more drawing talent in thumb than Liefeld has in his whole body

[@bobigghhb3]

Blasphemy

[@sarahweaver9414]

he did with what appears to be no effort at all.

[@evanantonola4935]

I like the solid lines but the grey lines. Kind of ruined the drawing.

[@RP752000]

Not as good as Jim Lee's version of The Green Goblin
