If you don't use photo reference as a number one tool, you will always be at the back of the pack!

[@carloszarate4787]

Have watched this for about 20 times now I think. When I was younger I wanted to be a comic book artist and trained for some years until I got into computer science. I always thought comic book artists would draw the whole image without any pre-drawing/construction. Because of that my improvements were very slow. One of the first videos which showed me that most comic book artist create their art gradually like a potter who is pottering a vase, was this video here. I got instantly back into drawing after over 15 years of abstinence. Thank you.

I just found out about the passing of our dear #NealAdams . I am really very sad. His art accompanied me since I was a child, despite the thousands of kilometers that separated us, his talent came to me in the comicbooks that fed our creative impulses. Thank you for so much, master, Rest in peace. My condonlences for the family

Neal Adams gave me more joy growing up in the 70's than I can possibly express! Hell my mother knows who Neal Adams is & can usually identify his work! Thank you !

[@DenEColt]

Amazing! I didn't think Neal would draw like this, for no reason in particular. He seems to "feel out" the figure rather than start with a mechanical "skeleton". Partially erasing the initial drawing seems to have been enough of a framework to carry the process forward. I was also surprised to see how painstaking he was in some areas, like the mouth. This was a lovely example of how illustration happens. Thanks for posting.

NEAL ADAMS IS THE LEGEND!

[@rooseveltpina7124]

his lines are so confident :'O pure art

[@hungfao]

Back in the 70s, Batman became exactly the comic book it was intended to be. I was never really into Batman but then there was a Neal Adams cover leering at me. Impossible to pass up. I still have them all and treasure among the finest ever. It seemed to anticipate today's graphic novels.

[@HunterZolomon]

Thanks so much for posting this! Very inspiring to see Neal in action.

[@BostonBrand]

I think people who know about this kind of thing will acknowledge that neal adams is the man, but that's an understatement..

[@hellfish3855]

This feels like a first row seat to a masterpiece

[@seanashby65]

i just have to say something here ! Neil Adams is so important to the evolution of his medium and is a true great ---brave to see Neil expose his process like this - Love ya Brother /you are a superhero to me

[@genomyoshida]

Still one of the all time best.

[@zgaryhall]

If you love comic book art this is awe inspiring.One of all-time favs,

[@loneangler9063]

Neal Adams was one of Many Legends. I'd Boldly say that he was an Equal beside of Jack Kirby. rest in peace

[@artisan555]

I never get tired of watching this video. Everytime I see it, I learn something.

[@Fenderbluesman17]

I go to the Joe Kubert School and was fortunate enough to have Neal Adams come in and speak to us. I like Neal's way of thinking because it's like mine. Use your common sense, everyone has it. (Or so we like to think) :)

[@carywhitt]

Neal is the best comic artist working today.

[@TroyDraws]

A TRUE comic book legend

[@marcoscerezo5397]

[@suntan8573]

Awesome! You can make a test for the next one and film with static cam, so you can make a time-lapse one ! Great job

[@AtulaSiriwardane]

Please post more of these Videos.. I would love to watch how do you draw Conan...

[@robcambra305]

Would love to see Neal Adams do a full run on a Tarzan strip ,or even a collaboration with Esad Ribic on Conan

[@chillbuddy4178]

There's something to be learned here. Mr. Adams spend so much time on the facial expression right from the get-go... and he drew some of the best Batman facial expressions... maybe if the face hadn't turned out good it would have been time to start over and try again

[@daylacro9733]

The guy who made frank miller a legend!

[@tamervamper]

very very good and you drawing in a short time wow

[@choochoochooseyou]

Would've added so much with audio. To hear your thoughts as you develop the image.

[@charlstephen]

Make me want to draw more , true talent, have u ever worked on wonder woman?

[@nickartcity]

woah- i'm assuming he's not looking at any reference here either. pretty impressive knowledge of anatomy and ability to render it with a light source and foreshortened on the fly if that's the case.

[@supersonico9364]

Nice 👍

[@alwaysinout]

The Master

[@johnbuccheri3440]

I just watched a video where he explains to a group of kids that drawing should be done from the shoulder yet watching him here he is using all wrist .

[@navelpicker]

Do you draw?

[@nealadamsdotcom]

@LittleMikeStarCraft - There's a Captain America cover up for auction on Ebay. We're auctioning it off for the benefit of Gary Friedrich,, co-creator of of Ghost Rider, who is suffering hard times. You might like to bid on it, or not.
