Drawing Batman - Studying from Other Artists

In this video I am drawing an image of Batman that was originally drawn by the amazing Jason Fabok. I was so impressed with this shot of Batman that I wanted to see if I could redraw it on my iPad Pro.
I create studies like this one to learn from other artists and gain insights into my own work. Be sure to check out Jason's work and I hope you enjoy this video!
Here is a link to his blog - jasonfabok.blog...
Thanks for watching and more on the way!

Redrawing illustrations that you like as an artist is basically the exact same thing as practicing existing songs as a musician. It's a great way to get a feel of what works and what doesn't.

[@RobertMarzullo]

I agree. Thank you for your comment and for watching!

[@Rickzilla]

DavidKyokushin They say imitation is the best form of flattery.

[@TheIYouMe]

Jason Fabok is one of my favorites. I definitely Think this is a great way to work and practice and better yourself through inspirstion.

[@RobertMarzullo]

Very true. It helps to guide us and show us where we can improve upon our own work. Thanks for your comment!

[@BAwesomeDesign]

Inspiration keeps you drawing, too!

[@Unfoldedwarrior]

the detail you added onto the copy sketch transformed it tremendously. it really pops out and i can feel the intensity of the stare.

[@RobertMarzullo]

Very cool of you to say. Thanks!

[@House_of_M_Studios]

This was a great educational video. I'm loving fabok's work right now. It's so measured and clean. Great video!

[@franticgemini9954]

No complaints here, it's the one way I started out. Looking over Jim Lee, Greg Capullo etc. Learned alot about detail. And in a sense I developed a level of respect for the characters I was mimicing.

I used to redraw Art Adams stuff for the very same reason. You learn how they did the drawing and in doing that learn how to apply those things to your own work. Somewhere around here I have the first half dozen pages from the action comics annual art did with superman, batman and the vampire Skeeter that I redrew many years ago. That book took my own art to another level by redrawing that...

[@RobertMarzullo]

Very true! Art Adams is an amazing artist and I need to study his work more as well. Thanks for sharing your thoughts!

[@void__3223]

i agree, working on different forms of characters from different artist helps alot, i for one am learning and look at different artist and their work. Helps you create your own style.

[@RobertMarzullo]

I agree. It helps you to gain a new perspective on your work. I always learn a ton from these types of studies!

[@void__3223]

yessir, me too

[@mr.dccomics9018]

The best artist are the best at shading....Jason Fabok is one of them

[@blackominaeyu7330]

MR.DC COMICS Ivan Reis is where Jason Fabok gets his face shading from combined with David Finch his teacher

[@mr.dccomics9018]

Black Ominae Yu I can definitely see the David Finch influence but Jason is a little better imo.

[@blackominaeyu7330]

I agree I study the way David Finch draws women,since his male figures are purposely over rendered

[@mr.dccomics9018]

Black Ominae Yu​ He's passed away now but Michael Turner used to draw some of the best women ever....he one of my old favorites from back in the day.

[@blackominaeyu7330]

MR.DC COMICS I like Turner but I couldn't use his women's lips (Angelina like) but his male faces are heroic which I do like

[@patricesez]

Sir: Imitation of the "Old Masters" or ANY masterwork used to be an understood part of a novice's training. I'm planning on doing the same with a frame-sequence or two from an animated series I greatly admire. It is a fast way to learn a lot. Great video.

[@RobertMarzullo]

Thank you for your comment. I totally agree and I always feel like I learn a lot from this process!

[@BAwesomeDesign]

Excellent. Master study is really the only real way of improving and learning how to draw from imagination. Learning methods, you're just trying to emulate someone else's process... it's analytical and not creative. But when you analyze something yourself, you make it your own. Great job, again. Would love to see more master copy videos from you!

[@deandreconners1878]

My favorites tutorial great work

[@Hannibalonthelamb]

Reminds me of when I would do the "How to draw Batman" in Wizard magazines. The style is even very close to the one I remember being portrayed.

[@RobertMarzullo]

I miss those. I use to love picking up the Wizard magazines! :)

[@blackominaeyu7330]

I'm an ametur artist and recently started a similar method of copying other artists,I highly recommend this if your a noob like me "it has helped​ me so much"

[@RobertMarzullo]

I think it is good for new artists and seasoned artists as well. We can all learn from this process. Thanks for your comment! :)

[@jaytamayo4694]

Pretty inpressive!

[@RobertMarzullo]

Thank you very much! It was fun to study the work of Jason Fabok! I appreciate you watching the channel! -Robert

[@bricheous1918]

Rob this is a HOT sketch man! You have to post this in the Virtual Class Room! Great work! Your rendering always amazes me.

[@RobertMarzullo]

I did. Thank you for your nice comment and more on the way real soon!

[@usta028]

I have to say that doing this has also helped me get better at drawing. I really recommend it for everyone who want to get their art to the next level. And yea Roberts lessons on gumroad also helped me :p. Congratulations Robert on Reaching 50k Subs. I hope your channel keeps growing.

[@fastfeet31]

this is one mean looking Bat, his unshaved face came out very kool Rob.....

[@RobertMarzullo]

Thanks Lou!

[@anzatzi]

Robert, your pencil hatching is so awwsome, but pencil fills are a little scratchy. How so you get your pencil to "point" like a pen?? Great video!

[@deandreconners1878]

I love this draw of batman i should draw this batman

[@mrfaust7205]

[@RobertMarzullo]

[@Mizuri]

This is awesome! Thanks for all these videos, they're amazing and extremely helpful. THANKS SO MUCH! I shall continue my journey to becoming a decent drawer! xD

[@Kageofyoutube]

All artists look at some1 else work and redraw it into theyre own with some few extra tints here and there. Nutin wrong with it

[@michaelmcdonnell3905]

Jason Fabok doesn't use pen pressure.

[@Theforeveraloneguy]

An artist to an artist I've noticed the characters you draw have a smaller lower half of the face, it stands out and it kinda looks odd. If you changed that it would drastically improve your artwork.

[@krishnapandey277]

Intro song ?

[@carlmig]

Jadon fabok is almost as good as you.

[@RobertMarzullo]

lol. I appreciate the thought! ;)
