I love that it starts off like the scribbles of a mad man and then it ends up bing an awesome drawing of Black Canary.

[@IggyTthunders]

He's so liberal with his eraser. I don't erase nearly that much! But that's why he's a pro. That willingness to try and fail and just as quickly try again.

[@jeffkifer4380]

U must be really good if u don't use your eraser very often

[@RandomThings12]

Yusuke Murata: "am I a joke to you?"

[@zahidbailey5049]

I don't know who the best illuistrator is or the best teacher for that mattert but I haven't found anyone who inspires me to draw more then Jim Lee. Thanks Jim-I always think your style is fearless!

[@halo4xgamer]

Hey guys, I've been drawing for my whole life (16 years) and I'm kind of losing my passion. Can anyone help me out or give me tips? Thanks...

[@VZAAGE]

Take a break from it... go back to your roots AKA the things that made you passionate in the first place. If that doesn't work... get back to me.

[@shibba2517]

depression?

[@thehotcheeto860]

Find a different way u can spread ur art (like making comics or making some characters?)

[@brainloading5543]

Look at what others do and what summons your interest in something

[@GeorgeIllustrations]

I didn' get the name of the artist he's mentioning at the beginning, at like 3:30...Steve L...what?

[@Xenrys]

He said Steve Leialoha.

[@RP752000]

What about Jim Lee doing Batman Beyond ?

[@brainlet8494]

Would love to see Jim's version of Tom Hardys Bane, seeing as we are coming up to the 10 year anniversary for the trilogy.

[@IziFiz]

The fact that he keeps drawing and redrawing the hands with such accuracy.. I'm over here drawing oven mitts..

[@jakedawson2334]

Bella Bear that’s called 25 years of practice. On top of that he was a doctor who studied anatomy so its engrained in his head

[@d-s-art]

I don't know why, but i laughed so hard, i choked xD

[@americanheirloom]

Amazing! I'm always thinking, "Don't mess it up! Oops there you go... you ruined it." Then it just gets better in every way. It's like watching Bob Ross paint. Love the art and seeing a master at work.

[@RandomThings12]

jim lee is one of these guys who knows how to use his mistakes to his advantage - one of the most skilled types in my opinion

[@Jericko427]

While Jim was attacking the abdomen, at first it looked like certain parts were being overworked. But after getting a look at the finished piece, it blew me away. The silhouette lighting on the leather freaking blows me away. I especially like the highlighting on Canary's ribcage. F***ing solid work. Jim Lee gets me every time. Love this stream. Legend indeed.

[@durellpowell3324]

there is no such thing as "overworked"

[@knowgo411]

Jim Lee is an Absolute Genius!!..it's really inspiring to see him working thru his process & the end results is always Amazing!! His work on uncanny Xmen was both EPIC & LEGENDARY!! Thanks for uploading these videos of a genius at work!!

[@juniorsandoval9624]

very nice video, this motivates me to bust out my inks once again

[@hubbalc]

Incredible watching Jim create these drawings. Really makes me wish I had more time to draw like I used to.

[@avidaepassageirawell1916]

Wooowwwww!!!! You're so talented! I love your draws! They're amazing! Well done. Thanks for sharing your talent and these beautiful draws! Hugs from Rio de Janeiro, Brazil.👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@vicioushellsing]

So many videos of speed paintings, man it is nice to just be able to watch something like this from start to finish and hear little thoughts here and there about choices.

[@mr.dccomics9018]

Amazing what the mind can do.

[@mr.nobody5028]

I tried to blow the eraser bits off of the page😄

[@jorgeantonio4615]

Jorginho da Penha eu acho esse desenho muito bem feito tá de parabéns fica com Deus

[@barneyrubble8141]

I wouldn't mind seeing a DC Marvel cross over of this character, Black Canary and Havock of X-Men... Sonic Booms!

[@waltergeovani972]

Thank you for editing these videos,VZA!

[@VZAAGE]

No problem. Thanks for dropping by and checking out the videos.

[@piandao6804]

Jim Lee has always been my favorite artist. Growing up I've always drawn and read comic books and loved a lot of different art but I went through favorites like a paper shredder. Then when I was a bout 15, 16 years old I came across one of Jim's X-Men comics and ever since then I took art seriously and Jim has been my favorite.

[@HansKaramottoBonsai]

Ones again...mind-blowingly good! And very inspiring! 👏👏👏👏 Cheers, Hans van Meer.

[@sammyg4367]

I draw a lot and feel like blowing the screan to move the eraser shit 😔

[@JAGUAR262]

no se si sea el único que tiene o le dan ganas de soplar los restos que deja el borrador, 😅

[@DiegoPovedaOficial]

Even being old, can you learn to draw like that?

[@VZAAGE]

I'm going to say yes.

[@czos9239]

I think it was Marc Silvestri who said: "It's not like being in sports and having to hang it up. You really have no excuse." The most striking thing to me was Lee going through a phase of art that was not his signature style. I didn't like it but admired him for going there. Then there was a vid of him drawing Raven (?) from DC, which was different from this, and had shown just how much he had grown. He's apparently 54 now, so 40s if not older when he completely changed gears. Very inspirational.

[@PeterSodhi]

100% yes

[@wahlawigi9572]

I don't know if VZA normally edits it out, but this is the most I've seen Jim use the eraser

[@VZAAGE]

Yeah, I do normally edit it out.

[@Elfcow_ishere_]

there's how to draw videos, then there's this,,,pure gold...the decision making in the 1st 10 minutes..can't get over it ...amazing

[@PazBinv1]

Completely agree; also the years of experience that allow him to start inking over a very basic rough. Incredible.

[@mr.j7785]

Love it, how long has him lee had this channel..or site..👍

[@VZAAGE]

Next month Jim will have been streaming for Twitch for a year now.

[@goat1408]

Watching a master at work......it reminds me of the people standing over you drawing.....of course the annoyance of people so close to you and breathing is gone now lol my art idol💯 His X-Men cards made me a fan.

[@adzmega]

The drawing at the beginning looks like level one but ends up looking like level hundred.

[@miiks...5...3...9...]

Do you happen to have footage of Jim Lee doing the Asuka sketch? Doesn't appear to be on his twitch

[@VZAAGE]

I don't. As far as I know Jim didn't record himself drawing that one.

[@1wilgosu]

hola lee quisiera que dibujaras la habitación de peligro de los hombres x. Hello, Lee, I would like you to draw the men's danger room x.

[@43En]

Been watching Arrow recently and I’m confused as fuck, is Sarah black canary or is it Laurel?

[@Nobody_Shadow]

Insane watching you draw the speed like whoa

[@thegreataugust327]

He’s a master obviously but not wiping the crumbs up.... it bothers me.

[@kristopherspikeknapik5696]

What fucking madman would thumbs down the legend Jim Lee. How many videos do you watch in black and white with about 5 sentences of dialogue and simply watch in awe for an hour?

[@mazditzo]

Jim Lee, Adam Hughes, and Michael Turner are my fave artists

[@IggyTthunders]

I love Adam Hughes! He's the second coming of Elvgren! But my favorite artist has to be Frank Frazetta and Frank Cho.

[@oa_talaga]

Does it require to have specific ballpen or i just need an ordinary ballpen?

[@mtgrave5590]

I learn something every time I see you create Jim, thanks.

[@drawmyface01]

Wow, it didn’t take him long to finish such a detailed illustration!

[@fayreneanderson3282]

Cool Cool Cool Cool Cool Cool Cool Cool Cool Cool Cool!!!!!!!!

[@KouD3Graw]

Whats the eraser hes using? Im getting this pencil later but i need a good size eraser. The mech pencil i have isnt feeding lead right anymore so its time for an upgrade. Sadly the upgrade doesnt have a integrated eraser lol.

[@VZAAGE]

Here you go... amzn.to/2iaDvaI

[@KouD3Graw]

Thank you. 👍

[@myrkonos4942]

Anybody know what pencil he uses?

[@noahgreen5809]

Scribbles like a child draws like a pro

[@oa_talaga]

How can you survive by just drawing?i mean in a good way

[@hunterlafferty3760]

What size micron is that and is it black or sepia?

[@artwhat..]

Hay, it's 2022, I'm I to late to win?

[@darrinevans69]

[@michaelaniekwe8328]

[@VZAAGE]

Hi Jane. I'm just a guy who edits these videos. Share your love with Jim on his social media outlets. (Links in description)

[@irinavega7]

[@ExtremelyTastyBread]

Unspeakable gorgeousness

[@Trynottoblink]

So satisfying to watch a master at work.

[@knowgo411]

Yes it is!!

[@achikavengergarohills3048]

Man.. It looks easy with the lines and crosses... Damn that inking part just messes me up... Even the lines and crosses to be frank... Damn... Jim lee makes the whole thing look easy... Damn!

[@butchgirl4134]

[@naye9067]

[@ManuelMomo]

[@yasseford]

Gorgeous piece. The perspective on the face, especially the ear, seem veryyyy off.

[@necroeasy593]

Awesome, that's some incredible art work. I draw but damn that paper is monstrous.

[@ogs1mpson609]

After getting ripped off by Trump University I told myself I’m only doing free lessons from now on... thx Jim!!

[@UniDeathRaven]

haha

[@AureliusRuiz]

Short hair Storm in the space please! That was my favorite X-Men panel back in the 90's.

[@fayreneanderson3282]

Awesome

[@TheKevphil]

I think (however pointless the observations may be) that Jim Lee draws his women's heads too big, and it's something David Finch, possibly from his long association with ALL the guys at Image, does the same. Thus, all female characters look like juveniles with overly sexualized, pre-teen bodies. Oh Jim, save all the Wildstorm stable from kinky weirdness! It's all up to you! ;)

[@Nikonokz]

Kevin Phillips I don’t really see the observation of the head being too big, maybe it’s just me

[@carlguanzon6745]

[@VZAAGE]

Hi Matthew... I have a list of the tools Jim uses as well as several other artists right here... vzaage.blogspot.com/2014/04/whatpen.html

[@Steger13]

He should sale it on ebay.

[@danieltinnirello2013]

What is the size of the paper that is being used? What is the lead being used?

[@J_bronco]

The lead I believe is either .4mm or .7mm, you can tell by the color of the pentel, if its green its 4 if its blue its 7. I just cant tell 😂 paper idk, jim typically uses bristol paper but that's when he is using ink or marker to sketch. Not to sure about his pencil sketches

[@DavidRRs1]

[@flavioabcf]
