Painting like the Masters of Illustration

[@AlpayEfe]

You can grab Indy at alpayefe.com/store 🙌 Special shoutout to everyone who watched the video to the end 😁🫶… the next one will be next level 🔥

[@lloydpeek5185]

Incredible mate, as a fellow illustrator, absolute respect

[@zeniatokova1020]

Each time you do something “next level” I think that you can’t possible top THAT, but then another video announcement comes… quite a cliffhangers you left us with !😅

This took me back to watching Raiders of the Lost Ark on VHS in our first family home. Love the nostalgia

[@elisabethherzog9369]

Same, I think I still have that VHS tape somewhere. Such good memories

[@amberpressley2238]

That sounds so comforting 💛

[@hemmygrant]

Took me back to being 7 years old and seeing it in the theatre opening night, wow what an experience. Beautiful artwork

[@mausimeinsatz729]

I love how you captured the moodiness of the scene as well as the spark of excitement and adventure. Oh and your video idea and editing is top notch! Love everything about this video.

[@AlpayEfe]

Thank you so much! 😊

[@Wolverine6877]

This was as captivating as watching Raiders of the Lost Ark as a 13yr old boy in 1981. Bless you and thank you ❤

[@ritawilbur6128]

I think everyone starts with fanart, but before the internet, they didn't show it as often. You've made a really great point in another video about how stills from movies - you've already got the composition, lighting, and color already set up. I do think it's a great way to copy and learn. How is that different from a master copy? I love how you convey the gold of the idol. Can't wait to see what the new project is!

Love your choice in movies and watching you paint the characters🔥

[@paintcoach]

I don’t know what’s more impressive, your paintings or your ability to perfectly articulate your thoughts. Great stuff!

[@AlpayEfe]

Haha, thanks 😅🙏

Ah I Love it!

Alpay out here giving me something to watch in the morning and helping me get that artist drive. Great stuff.

[@AlpayEfe]

Enjoy! 🫶

[@Shl0kk]

You put more character in the painting than was ever extracted in the last two films

[@igavinwood]

I love watching how you bring a painting to life. It's always been a moment of wonder for me watching artists and craftsmen work and seeing how something that looked simple suddenly becomes more then the sum of its parts. It doesn't matter what the subject, size or material is, not even the technique. It's something else. I suppose it's the balance of all the things expected and unexpected done with a creative confidence. It's inspiring, and AI can't do that.

[@danlewis7707]

"Alas, you do not speak Hovitous. " Raiders of the Lost Ark is incredible and one of the great American touchstones. We don't contribute much good stuff culturally so when we do we gotta celebrate. Glad to see it is loved just as much in Germany! You really captured that look of dubious fear and tension on Indiana's face in that scene.

[@missionman265]

You got those under lights so right👌🏽👌🏽

[@ChanahAngelicaKamen]

Absolutely stunning!! The angularity in the lines and shapes on Indie's face give him so much character, it's so striking!!

[@jonathanvergara162]

I really like how you handled the preliminary drawing. The shading and line quality is something I haven’t seen before, especially the accuracy on portraying Harrison Ford. Great work!

[@Liammillard_94]

One of the best movies of the 80’s. You did it justice 😊

[@victorart-]

I hope you will shine with million of supporter and be with you.

[@foreverkent2225]

Thank you for touching on fan art. It’s how I started as an artist and when I learned how looked down on it is by artists in general it really turned me off to the art community, I eventually turned my back on art school, pursued something else, and relegated it to a hobby. But it truly is my passion, and it still makes sad sometimes to know that what I love to do, would never be celebrated, and instead entirely dismissed. So thank you for acknowledging the work and love that goes into it.

[@Beitidh]

Loved the editing and teaser at the end (in addition to the always-gorgeous artwork and commentary, of course).

[@olddog_newtrix]

I whole-heartedly agree!!! Fan art is what gets new artists started!

[@apathtrampledbydeer8446]

Watching you paint is always like witnessing magic happen. Looking forward to that boss battle!

[@kzz2501]

No one's doing it like you in the art youtube community. Disappointed that there aren't many but glad you are here.

[@helgan35]

As astounding as Indy looks, I have to pay special tribute to the non-metallic metal painting of the idol - watching the layers build up on old golden bonce was an absolute masterclass in painting shiny yellow things without the shiny paint. Thank you, this is something I shall now study and try to work on 🙂

[@bucephalus1635]

+1 for ‘golden bonce’

[@rayvirgoe7231]

Fan art? Is that what you call it! I call it portraiture. I love portrait drawings. I love people. Wherefore, start with the perfect faces. The faces everyone are most familiar with. When you draw them, drop down to the imperfect structure of everyday people. The people who have the struggles and the agony of everyday life printed upon the soul of their mortal existence. And that is what we aim for when we sit down to capture them in sketch, or color, paint or sculptures. I love how you did capture the character Harrison Ford worked hard to portray on screen. You my friend, are an artist.😊😊😊😊

[@PochoNieves]

This is why I love Alpay Efe's art... in the opening of his monologue he said what all of us that grew thinking Indiana Jones was the greatest adventurer... there are only 3 Indiana Jones' movies worth watching... and NO, we are not interested in watching the new one.

[@TheUndeadOfNight]

The metallic sheen on the idol and the skin tones on Indy are beautiful . You were channeling your Drew Struzan influence on this one . Fantastic artwork .

[@MrJvieira72]

Loved seeing your process. Enjoyed your insights as well. Beautiful work.

My pleasure!

[@alexandergermanis679]

I've seen many, many instances of fanart that far surpass many officially licensed works produced by professionals. You nailed it when you said many artists essentially cut their teeth on fanart. I believe my first actual good oil paintings were fanart.

[@mikemaxwell2591]

I am never not amazed with the talent, knowledge, and the great delivery you manage to display every video. That was made to look so easy you are so good.

[@carriebarnes118]

Omg I love how cinematic your videos are, you can tell how much you enjoy making every aspect of the video

This is one of the biggest reasons why I wish I had a Time Machine. If I could share all the art skills I’ve learned in the past few years with my younger self, I wouldn’t be doing it as a hobby today.

[@AriaMaryam]

Amazing as usual. I'm obsessed with your brushwork 💕

[@kalvinklaus2580]

Loved the ending!❤

[@AutumnRainTurkel]

"it can take weeks, or even a month." As someone who illustrates and creative directs illustration for movie posters and entertainment advertising, I can say, yes, that timeline is accurate. But, the client will want it in stages, so you will work 3 days at a time 8-12 hours a day. Then wait on feedback and shift gears, repainting and painting new elements. This is the real reason that classic illustrators worked the way they did. Finally, you'll get to the end and the talent will want you to change the face used, so, you'll have to do that all at the 11th hour before the drop dead, pencils down deadline. It's insanely high octane, and my department has been working on ways to maintain the old school traditional processes as we move into an increasingly digital era of art.

[@exert2020]

That looks soooo good

[@LyndseyMacPherson]

Seriously, brother, I am super proud of the artist you have become. Watching your videos for so long, I think I feel familiar with your painting. Honestly, keep it up, and you'll continue to inspire young artists to find their own voices. 🙏

[@AnastasiaYGamble]

Your Indy painting looks awesome, love the colors and textures💕🔥! I've painted oil on gessoed paper before and it's very fun, the texture is so buttery. I can't wait to try the method you used in this video, been meaning to for a while now.! I'm going to take your advice and try fan art, been afraid due to copyright and and such lol.

Thank you for all your videos. It is always a pleasure but it is also a little bit frustrating to never see the original model. I would be very interesting to see how you convert the colors, textures, lines...of a real photo into brushstrokes.

That could easily be used as movie poster art. I don't see many modern movie posters with classic style art. Usually they're just some sort of photo-collage nowadays.

I love watching you're videos. Motivation narration with lovely painting process in well cut wideo make me "Damn, where is my paper, brushes and paints. I need paint sth". I'm not in half as good as you (well I'm just a hobbyist) but that doesn't bother me, you're one of my masters from whom I'm learning craftsmith.

When I think of Indiana Jones I always think of temple of doom when he saves the enslaved kids, when they shine the minecart light on him and he is standing there with the music playing.

[@Chaserbeam1]

Every single artist has done fan art of their favorite artists' work. That's how they learned. The old masters did fan art of their teachers' work and straight up fully copied their teachers' styles for years.

[@MM-io4kd]

its actually pretty good, I think you should watch it. I mean its no 'Crystal Skull' but few movies could live up to that legacy.

[@Wavyfreakwhensea]

Looks amazing 🎉 Love the narrative and the information about the paper and traditional illustration techniques ❤ Don’t forget to make a KZbin short when finished telling the audience that the whole project took less than one hour 😂😂😂
