Always making it look easier than it actually is, which is a testament to his immense skill and talent.

[@scaryfidi]

Jim's art was such a big part of my childhood. Its a delight watching him work.

[@NovioDeTodas]

No one else draws Omega Red as impressively as Jim Lee.

[@mickeybeavison1053]

he created omega red

[@أبويوسف-ه4ط]

I think every X-Men character by Jim Lee is most hardcore and unique that noone other will ever do anything similar...

[@ShutoStriker]

This man was at the forefront of the golden age of Marvel / X-men. Responsible for giving us the most iconic looks and artwork ever known! Thank God we still have him. Everything artwork for X-men I can't help but judge against the high standard and style of Jim Lee.

[@rastan17]

Jim LEE is the best and the most impressive comics artist!!! His drawings are soooo perfect!!!

[@LikeSomeDude]

Jim Lee is the greatest comic book artist of all time EVER. NUFF SAID.

[@ShutoStriker]

He's the GOAT!

[@RandellWashington]

He not though

[@gregorydacosta2102]

Another artist I loved from Jim Lee's era was Mark Texeira. I especially liked his work on Wolverine and character's peripheral to the Weapon X story lines. It had grittiness to it. It really brought out the violence in certain characters like Wolverine. I first saw his art in the Sabretooth series. Jim Lee's art has always been dynamic and clean. All the characters seemed larger than life and powerful. He posed each character expertly to convey their personalities and intentions. When I was teaching myself how to draw comic book characters, I was heavily inspired by Jim Lee and to some degree, Jack Kirby and John Romita.

[@juandelossantos1866]

Jim lee is my favorite comic book artist. Getting to hear his thought process and watch him work is amazing. Thank you for this upload.

[@jasonpaulperkinsart]

Was working in a comic shop in high school when this character was introduced. So cool! Also love when you ink your own work!!

[@comicfilth3700]

Omega Red terrified me as a kid grabbing them issues off the stands and it's due to how sinister Jim made him look! Amazing video from the master as always.

[@dashfox8464]

I love your art Jim Lee! Inspires me alot ❤

[@VZAAGE]

I'm not Jim but he may read these comments from time to time. Check the links in the description to find out how to show your great comment with him personally.

[@MetalFacedGamer]

I remember looking at his artwork as a kid and just being completely blown away at his technical ability.

[@smoothforreal4242]

Omega Red forever my favorite. One of my first action figures.

[@gee355Art]

A 15c brush… Jim you are such a boss! 👍

[@moosec6782]

The Deathblow style seems to have settled in with Mr. Lee. Very reminiscent of Frank Miller, but all unto his own. Very nice work.

[@therealamazingsomebody]

I like that Jim draws on actual paper.

[@EMMmaximino]

love these videos! watching artist do theri craft, drawing along side with them,' gets me motivated with the feeling im back at school.

[@breadpirateoverhere]

Oh this is a fantastic share, thank you. Really great details in this.

[@TheOneSoulMate_]

My all time favorite Comic Book Artist. He is amazing.

[@j-toys4065]

my favorite artist of all time..the x men 90's jim lee was a bomb

[@Fartinhalerr]

One of the best to ever do it. I'm grateful that he found his way to art, the world is richer for it.

[@omegarocplays]

One of my favorite comic characters!

[@intersepter3332]

Master Lee … uh hum , you make seeing drawings easy to look at. But their is no escape from the fundamentals of concept/ and perspective all in which I struggle.. I’m not a patient man….. thank you sir.

[@Dune218NYC]

Still have Lee's first X-Men issue. Jim Lee, Ron Lim, Todd McFarlane, Erik Larsen, Dale Keown, Rob Liefeld, and his weird feet, all part of my youth ❤

[@tofu_golem]

I haven't read comic books in a couple decades, so I'm not familiar with the new artists, but back in the 80s and 90s when I read comic books regularly, Jim Lee was one of my favorites.

[@xtraspecialmango]

This Lee kid has got potential! 😅 Nice work, Sir 🤘

[@ArnoldRamirezAxistrizero]

"I don't know if his ever done laundry?!" HAHAHA! You hit hard Jim! :D

[@robphoenix1182]

21:20.......ABSOLUTELY 10000% CORRECT, Mr. LEE.

[@LeonYT.]

The fact that we haven't gotten Omega Red in a movie yet is a crime

[@SuperACE121212]

A master at work.

[@kummer45]

I always try to build these things in strict 3D adjusting scales. Sometimes I go straight to what the drawing is. These types of drawings deserves a documentation in 3D. Would be amazing an exploration of these heroes modeled in computer graphics.

[@mvargasmoran]

Just amazing.

[@nowahblanco9935]

I smoked a bunch of weed and forgot the video was on 2x speed. I saw Jim go balls deep inking the knee and i was like HOLY FUCK, HE IS ALMOST TOO GOOD

[@thesplendor8654]

Beautiful

[@ramonnazario4685]

Amazing!

[@pasjan1183]

Hypnotizing!

[@stewartisan213]

My biggest wish after seeing this is for Jim to make one more kick at the x- men story.. That would go gangbusters like he did way back when

[@NZ_Man]

Very impressive

[@eugenecheong7066]

All the people I look up to, last names are Lee…Bruce Lee, Stan Lee and Jim Lee…and Omega Red is a damn cool character…

[@beth4short]

Amazing

[@carla645]

Esse sim tá em outro patamar ❤

[@acehawke4472]

Damnn that was sick

[@bazman32]

Jim Lee and Whilce Portacio are the fathers of modern comic books! Before them, comic art was never to the standard that it is today ..

[@nathanduenas358]

SICK

[@tombystander]

I don't draw and I'm not artistic, watching u show on the index card how to draw light was ingenious

[@arte01]

parabéns excelente desenho!

[@maxknuckles13]

Nice.!!

[@moosec6782]

I do miss the organic hand drawn, painted/colored, art.

[@Sharp_Calidore]

soooooooooo goooooooooood

[@nicholashughes4342]

Awesomeness,thanx,be blessed and all in Jesus shalom

[@michaelklein8598]

Jim Lee.......The Dude just sets the standard 🔥 Yeah he's that guy. 🫵😃👍

[@2susjus]

OMEGA JIM

[@garrulousskeptic6616]

whaaaaaa... what timeline is this

[@tyasspage]

I wanna see this character live fighting wolverine

[@thecollector616]

He gave arkady the business

[@Some_one11237]

master

[@renemarrero6523]

👏🏻

[@funlabsdesignstudio]

My Favorite Comics were definitely from this era especially the Xmen series. Newer stuff digitally I am actually not really into. It doesn't have that nice hand drawn look to it. I am definitely more of a traditionalist but enjoy some vector and some digital art too of course but definitely love Jim Lee and his generations comic style pencil drawing and inking more than the newer stuff.

[@mickeybeavison1053]

bring him back to x-men and reboot 90's style!

[@cod9679]

Sakuragi hanamichi slam dunk 🙏🙏🙏🙏

[@abdulkhafidsulaymaan]

when i was a kid i swore this dude was Stand Lee's son- from the way he draws Europeans I just assumed he too was European... but now i know how much Asians love white people...

[@StraightUpProductionOfficial]

Why is there no movie for one of the most brutal characters

[@robquin1525]

Because if there was it would be nothing but a joke

[@4l4n17]

Can i still get featured on your channel ?

[@DavidPeacockArt]

I don't do laundry. I pay someone else to do it, which enriches my life. It gives me extra time to do absolutely nothing

[@lachukichu261]

Make a Art of Flash

[@hitochiquito8952]

That's a garbage omega red bro. Sorry jim but it's not even close to your 90s version. Like not even close. Keeping it real. I know I can't draw like you. But I only comparing it to yourself.

[@VZAAGE]

Jim didn't draw the Omega Red. He inked over another artist's pencils. Regardless, that's a rude thing to say about anybody's work.

[@joshmullins8616]

Better learn how to do Manga Mr Lee the comic industry is dead.

[@Tony-rz4ks]

marvel needs to do movie on Omega Red....such a cool name

[@iOnRX9]

[@THMILLER]

One of my favorite of all time artists, he made my childhood awesome! It was Jim Lee, Todd McFarlane, and Jae Lee, in that order

[@VZAAGE]

All great choices!

[@studiobrushpen]

Wow, that was really interesting to hear Jim say that the art style changed because of Photoshop colouring. I suppose we noticed the change through the years, but I’d never really considered why. Great insight!

[@rook9309]

Analog drawing and inking hits different! Especially when viewing the original in person on paper…EXCELLENT piece btw per usual

[@GLASSGHOSTHUNTERS]

I've never seen anyone move a brush so fearlessly when using black ink. I'd be procrastinating the entire time.

[@TheOneSoulMate_]

IKR? Me too. Black always feels so permanent and final. So I agree. I’d be afraid of making a mistake lol.

[@GLASSGHOSTHUNTERS]

@@TheOneSoulMate_ Yeah, exactly! I take AGES to do anything in ink. But here he is just gliding all over the paper with tons of it and making it look like breathing!

[@TheOneSoulMate_]

@@GLASSGHOSTHUNTERS lol, I know. I was at a small event in Arizona and he did a sketch of Nightwing. I won’t be Ben mention how good it was, because it was awesome. The other incredible thing was he did it rather quickly while explaining what made him look like Nightwing as opposed to how he draws other characters such as Batman or Superman. It blew my mind at the time of his knowledge and skill. He didn’t just draw it, he explained the considerations of what made him look the way he did. It was memorable to say the least 😂.

[@GLASSGHOSTHUNTERS]

@@TheOneSoulMate_ That sounds AMAZING!!

[@luisink1303]

Nossa muito obrigado por compartilhar tantas dicas, fiquei muito animado com suas técnicas me deu umas possibilidades a mais para somar com o meu trabalho, muito obrigado e sua arte é sensacional parabéns 👏🤝😊

[@superbadmofo1]

This dude was a HUGE influence for me in jr high and high...what a legend.

[@zanatosprime3460]

Yep, I loved his work. followed him when he went to Image and noticed that he slowed down from being burnt out. He went from 2-3 issues a year to like special variant issues etc and that was when I quit comics overall.

[@superbadmofo1]

@@zanatosprime3460 Wildcats...dam

[@zanatosprime3460]

@@superbadmofo1 Yeah, I started following him when he did uncanny x-men which later went to whilce(misspelled)? then I followed him on the xmen re-release with the new teams and eventually to Image comics where he was MIA a lot of the times. He only did variant covers or 1-2 issue cameos. He did a few issues of stormwatch and deathblow etc just to pump up the sales I presume.

[@nazaxprime]

Interesting to hear the narritive I basically virtually heard back in the 90s when recreating your works... Imagine that, I actually learned something. Now if I only had all those drawings... Now, I still do all this intuitively thanks to the many examples you've shared with us. Really though, to actually have to opportunity to hear you throughout the process is awesome. I can't honestly say everything I know is thanks to your work, but it's not a distant stretch regarding my love and affinity for crosshatching and inking. It always blew me away to know how fast you were back then, as I was so meticulous in placing the exact lines both in weight and form, and your proficiency is still so impressive. That said, I've come a long way and I'd be interested to know what you've to say on your assention since then when you were already so close to the zenith back then.

[@Scott-ki7bv]

I just started doing digital art, but still love doing traditional art. I been going back to inking with dip pen and brushes with additionally with microns. I been drawing since I was small, don't do it as much now, life got in the way, but starting to draw more again. I just finished taking a figure drawing class to help to draw figures better and enjoying drawing again.

[@johnpetty3574]

I was so impressed with the cover art of Lee's OMEGA RED & another that was a fold out page of COLOSSUS shooting a beam at MAGNETO, that i had both redrawn bigger ,so i could hang them.

[@VengeDracul]

Jim Lee, Todd Mcfarlane, Dale Keown, Brett Booth. Those 4 are my favorite artist for comics. Omega Red is one of my favorites Villains in Marvel

[@RP752000]

Where is The GREEN GOBLIN artwork ? Jim Lee has never drawn this character !

[@spiderphil]

Here i am thinking he was going back to Marvel, but he ended up being the President of DC 😅

[@Ace-wd6qx]

I have destroyed art trying to get the cross hatching down, but I wont give up lol. its the one thing I want to incorporate the most.

[@abelchristian951]

Hope he's the next villain and Deadpool 3 I mean it only makes sense or three have the metal bones

[@jasonmaclean719]

That trick with the toothbrush is really cool! I never thought of that

[@matties3538]

I wonder if this artists is really intuned with the truth on light and dark?

Real Traditional Art forever! If 40 hours of work can't be ruined by a bleed, you don't know the struggle. But seriously, the feeling of pen to paper will never ever be beat.
