6:03 "Make it look cool. We're in the cool business right?" Man I love Todd some much and his art is one my inspirations for my art style. Stay gold Todd and can't wait to see your new stuff 🤙🏽

[@maxxgunner5573]

5:57 actually. But yes, Todd's art along with Leifeld (I find his artstyle underrated and looks awesome in some way) helped pave the way for stylized comic book and cartoon art.

[@nutty4258]

Bringing back memories of Stan Lee asking young Todd to show the viewers how he draws webs. (Comic book greats).

[@maurianobaruso5859]

The Greatest Drawing Vids ever !

[@TheRowlandstone73]

The Rob Liefeld one was pretty excrutiating! You could almost see Stan thinking, "How the hell has this kid got into the business?!"

[@rushaholic]

This is the kind of guy you could spend a few hours and a few beers with just learning about the craft of comic book draftsmanship.

[@bricedrake8418]

I just noticed that Todd is left handed. That's awesome! One of my favorite artists is a lefty like me. That makes me happier than it probably should, lol.

[@vww3606]

Brice Drake same here! i have been drawing for about seventeen years and as a lefty i think i should draw on the computer, i always mess my lines with my hand : D

[@DarkTalesProduction]

Same here! I like to draw too

[@azamora2791]

V WW use a piece of paper over what you've drawn to not rub it.

[@basedbattledroid3507]

Brice Drake Lefty artist here too, it's honestly heartwarming. Makes up for all of the scissor difficulties I had in school

[@chrisaisu1618]

Lefties Assemble !

[@kyleneighbors6386]

This man is a genius. He revolutionized so many things. He is like the great Renaissance painters and artists.

[@jarrettbakersr]

I would doodle these in middle school ALL THE TIME! My favorite Spider-Man Artist!!

[@ryansizemore5064]

Ikr

[@drakevonduke]

Todd please don't say your wasting our time. I can imagine the camera guy needing to leave but what your sharing is invaluable. You said it your self I look back and... your art is much appreciated and what drives you is inspiration to others. Todd your a sensei.

[@fandlpetroleum]

In junior high school I was already a fan of Spider-Man before McFarlane, but when McFarlane took the helm I was blown the hell away. Imagine something you love very much, getting exponentially better. It was astounding to me the artwork from those Spidey comics.

[@monkeyspinach4724]

Whenever I've drawn Spider-Man over the years, I've always used McFarlane's webs as the basis! I love them!

[@rodino70]

Todd you are still the GREATEST!!!!!

[@akiradudley443]

we are in the cool business Mr. McFarlane. You rock thank you sir

[@jeseramirez9852]

Love hearing the backstory to all of your techniques and drawings . These videos are like drugs and I learn so much. You are awesome for making these videos for your fans Todd!! GOAT

[@akshaykauthankar3273]

This man will never get old

[@azamora2791]

I saw your interview on Complex, your a true inspiration. In art but what amazed me was how much more you inspire in the business world. Keep on not giving a fuck Todd! GOAT

[@JimCornetteIsMyDad]

Todd say on his Facebook page that now you can see everybody using his spaghetti webbing and he's right. I'm currently reading a few different Spider-Man titles and they all have that same webbing. I love it.

[@marcguevara162]

All time favorite artist! Thanks Todd! For being an awesome part of childhood!

[@snakeeyez8955]

Hours to do the webbing, but definitely paid off, and makes spidey's webbing look so much better and detailed. Amazing work!

[@amazingmurfinator6338]

Todd, I for one am super happy you developed that look! You are the master.

[@YousifPhotoshopTutorials]

Awesome And CREATIVE Thanks Todd ♥♥♥

[@178laaleros]

Dam this dude is awesome he really wanted to do something different i always admire his drawing style

[@CRDrawing]

How did I not realize until today that Todd McFarlane is responsible for the quíntese spidey web?!

[@theraVen27]

Every video I watch Todd looses his shit at how easy things are with the Stroke tool hahaha

[@anthonynegron]

Truly passionate about the trade

[@harshStroke]

2022 and it's still gold

[@Rob_Shoot]

I always loved his web action!

[@RealRedRabbit]

Todd McFarlane is a goddamn legend.

[@ozgunozankilic]

When I was reading Spider-Man comics, that was the thing that got my attention the most. It is nice to see its inventor and his thought process.

[@SilkySilv]

Awesome! To this day my favorite artist for spider-man is Todd. The attention to detail!!

[@williamhare6159]

Todd is such an amazing role model

[@aceoswords]

such an enjoyment to watch you work Todd!

[@trustobey1016]

I wish Todd was still drawing Spidey, Todd truly is one of a kind.

[@Kalle72]

If Todd wasn’t a famous and succesful artist that shaped the industry, this would be one of the craziest videos on youtube.

[@davidcarmichael5698]

You are so very talented Sir Mcfarlane, thank you for sharing

[@Meg_Lovegood]

You made me love art again sir, thank you for being CDO

[@christopherhaupt4358]

Art history at it's best!!! I can't believe he gave the webs shadows!! Wow!

[@ryangunwitch-black]

The cheater stroke brush has a really cool Alphonse Mucha Art Nouveau vibe to it without the extra lines. I dig it.

[@CosmicGaijin]

holy shit, and to think I would practice trying to imitate you style of webbing for weeks on end. my goodness. you truly are a master.

[@pisceanpaul]

Love that you brought this webbing element to the Dpidey comics mythos.

[@76carlsonzach]

Dude Todd McFarlane could never waste my time!!!! I put this guy on the top shelf of art greats! him and frank frazetta!

[@DirkHooper]

I'm drawing Spider-Gwen and I needed to do some webbing, so I came to the King! Thank you, for this, and for everything Todd!

[@paulmartin6616]

Michael Golden came up with that web style years before Todd touched spider-man comics. He even had to admit it and now he's back to claiming he did it on his own.

[@paulmartin6616]

dyn1.heritagestatic.com/lf?set=path%5B1%2F4%2F5%2F0%2F5%2F14505784%5D&call=url%5Bfile%3Aproduct.chain%5D

[@paulmartin6616]

Todd popularized the webs but Michael Golden gets the credit for creating their look 6 years before Todd took "inspiration" from them

[@AceLM92]

I like how Todd keeps repeating "towards the camera" even though it's towards the reader. It's more of the illusion of the camera

[@misterNicarus]

Thank you for these great videos. Glad to finally be taught directly by Todd. Thumbs up! It would have been nice to watch our Marvel man Stan too, give us some insight on how to. Nice work, he's very careful and steady about what he's doing. I can see why he's got some of the most realistically detailed sculpts and figures in his brand.

[@keithhunt8]

I started collecting comics just before Spider-man #1 came out. Loved Todd's style. Had a poster of that first issue's cover on my wall too. Remember doodling Spaghetti webs at work! 😂

[@superamericanickmarks]

This is so great. Todd these webs changed my life. Sounds silly but they did. They taught me to not accept the status quo many years ago. Everything can be cooler. Thank you for your vision and creativity. So happy I found your channel. Going to watch all these!!!

[@reimourrpower9357]

Thank you Mr. McFarlane and the intervie you did with Complex: Blueprint totally inspiring to me as content creator. Continued success in everything.

[@Nekro_216]

i've got Amazing Spider-Man #300 framed on the wall and sure enough he did do this. CRAZY!!! How GENIUS of Todd and that's why he is a LEGEND!!!!!

[@heatxtm]

how can Todd think that he is wasting our time!!!? todd is an awesome and humble artist :)

[@youarehere0]

I think he has major ADD and wants to move on to do something else. He's projecting his need to move on to us :)

[@FrankieCRadio]

Please do more live drawings. I could watch these all day.

[@goofybutserious4807]

Everybody say it with me! *WEB SWING!*

[@Chi-townCollectorsCloset]

Todd your work has been in my life since I was a kid copying your spaghetti webs. Thanks for the videos, you are the man.

[@jakethesnake1503]

So rad you show us so fun to watch

[@hipgeektoys]

Always fun videos to watch but a shout out to Adams & Golden for inspiring "Spaghetti Webs".

[@StevenRLegge]

Todd used to mention where he really got the webbing from. He obviously doesn't here. Golden did them first in 1981 www.cbr.com/comic-legends-the-secret-origin-of-spider-mans-spaghetti-webbing/

[@TheVamxie]

Were in the cool business- a legend

[@madcreator4650]

THANK YOU TODD!

[@TheTukTuk2008]

This video is so outstanding. Thank you so much!🖤♠️

[@basedbattledroid3507]

So happy one of my favourite artists and all-time inspirations draws with the same hand as me.

[@TheVamxie]

Lol i draw with both hands lol now im your favorite artist

[@TheSonicfan91]

This is super fascinating

[@maurianobaruso5859]

Liked before i watched this video :D!!!!

[@JPEG2099]

Thx Todd! Now I can make cool webbing thx to this awesome Photoshop Trick!

[@SmashFiguras]

Thanks uncle tod!

[@zaynhusin6444]

I dnt know why im feeling hungry right now when see this kind of spaghetti webbing

[@johnhorchler5447]

At 1:30 when he backed it out then summed in back in it looked like 3d like floors to a building

[@rectori]

It become a time that I spend more time admiring the web, then reading the history...

[@Mgm1976-j9w]

love the Mcfarlane

[@Demonthya]

You're a monster sir!

[@corrugatedmisery1269]

This is badass

[@geekadams1434]

This helps so much

[@Kalelogant2023]

I love your comics

[@jarredsmith4629]

Todd, if you had that software back in the 90's, you could have just done a few different angles of the spaghetti webbing and save the file on your computer and that would have made it so much easier on you but you truly did make Spiderman cool with the way toy draw him and today's Spiderman just feels kinda wimpy.

[@davidstyle6]

Freaking beautiful thank you

[@RunMeThrough]

Absolutely fucking genius

[@omnymisa]

Todd you ara so amazing!

[@therawproduct]

Thank you

[@TheEndOfTheTable]

💀Todd Mcfarlane💀 is my spirit animal

[@bryangill9507]

That's Marvel-ing!

[@jasonburrows1875]

Amazing 👏

[@ComiccollectorGamer]

I love MCfarlnes Spider-Man Drawings and art work I have Spider-Man #1 Spider-Man #13 the amazing Spider-Man #300 and the amazing Spider-Man #301

[@victorpleitez768]

Imagine saying no to this.

[@bluhock88]

stan loved your webs

[@derekthemagician]

This explains everything! #thesecretishardfrackingwork #thankyoutodd

[@overlex]

The Next Stan-Lee 🔥 💯

[@TheRowlandstone73]

Todd used to put so much detail into his panels, which clearly must've taken ages, that I almost used to get anxiety attacks just looking at the damn stuff! Especially as at the time, I wanted to be a comicbook artist myself. Probably a good thing I didn't as I very much doubt I'd have been able to handle the pressure and deadlines! (I worked at quite a slow pace).

[@tupac-man8120]

What Todd did, is he found comic artists that couldn't really cut it. Crooked anatomy etc, and applied for their jobs. That is how he got into the industry if I am not mistaken

[@fredb6723]

Its like Bob Ross. "Happy little squiggly lines!"

[@tdelperdangart6340]

'When I was young and ambitious." I think that's exactly what you had that the modern day younger comic artists lack... ambition.

[@scottfossil7731]

An even more appropriate point is this 6:00, "we are in the cool business", as opposed to the left-wing social engineering business.

[@tdelperdangart6340]

Scott Fossil Good point, Scott

[@malafakka8530]

And unlike today's pros he created a new character and the character was black and everybody loved the character because he was cool. Today all they do is change the ethnicity, gender or whatever of established heroes and think that is enough to make them cool or relevant. And woe to you if you do not like what they did.

[@archangel0891]

spiderman never looked better than under your pencils. So much so i had issue 1 cover tattooed on my arm!

[@Hello-fe6bk]

Wish I could be like this when i grow older

[@juanaramberri2988]

Wow Amazing tip i will take it on account 🕸🕸

[@TheCoconutstrut]

The best

[@knockoutking2460]

Hey Todd! Can u do that with a spawn full body and cape picture? Just for fun and watching a master artist at work! Thanks brother God bless!! Just want to see how u drawn spawn...

[@WriteSound]

God McFarlane🙏🙏

[@jefftae7287]

Fuckin' genius.

[@bryangill9507]

And Marvel-ous.

[@beastwaynes4868]

McFarlane Toys Hey Todd, such a massive fan of your work. You’re a true pioneer (“We’re not worthy!”). Anyway, just wondering what equipment you use? I’m trying to refine my techniques for tattooing and want to start working with a tablet. Would absolutely treasure some advice! Cheers mate.

[@jaybla2311]

Big fan of his art, but you can hear the alcohol in his voice. Nothing wrong with a few drinks and some spiderman! I'm in lol

[@Handle...This.]

That photoshop stroke webbing is very cool. I wouldn't having to fill in a couple lines if I was in a rush, but I'm such a crazy perfectionist that I would probably still not use it because I'd think it waa cheating, even though it's not lol

[@TheVamxie]

Lol i am the same way with this new digi art- clueless xD

[@romeocontreras7199]

Mr tood , when is going to be already the new spawn animated series plz I can not wait how much time left to be finish .

[@ignskeletons]

When he talks about how a single piece of webbing would take hours to consistently go through a double spread page, that's why comics are like $3.99 an issue now. I've never complained about buying a Spawn comic because I've always gotten my money's worth. People said you can't sell toys for $30.00+ and Todd said "yes you can, you just have to give them $30 of value".

[@shadeslayer2138]

How would you draw the webs attached to things
