[@diddywahdaddy]

Rest in peace and thank you so much, wonderful artist.

[@czerwart4988]

I am somehow proud that I am able to recognize the characters by only looking at the shape of their nose. Uderzo is an amazing artist.

[@TheRealPifflesticks]

The characters are so iconic you can recognise them just from their noses

[@StevenKoraki]

Oh dear you're right! The man's a genius!

Au revoir par Toutatis. Merci pour tant de rires et de joie.

[@maikebaier8004]

Your pp says everything😂❤

[@TaylorZanderFrancis]

I've drawn for years and although I'm more clear line than this style, I just can't get my head around how easy Uderzo makes it look. The sheer control over each stroke, and his ability to create a near perfect drawing with NO pencil work leaves much to be desired.

A fucking genius! Look how he holds the pen! Insane!

[@gendoruwo6322]

just seeing asterix or obelix' face brings me a chuckle. reading their comics make me happy.

[@olsen3127]

I adore artists who use their arms and not their hands to draw perfect lines

[@hannahsdrawings8664]

Interesting way of holding a pen 😍😍😍😍 Should humble all those teachers who ever remarked on the way a kid holds a pen.

[@End_Domestic_Violence]

Casually draws Asterix's face in fifty seconds flat... Gaw Blimey!😆

[@scienceacademynotcangivena7332]

drawing war criminal face false nation definition asterix is nationalist kleptocracy lie propaganda. What is nation? Humans born without nationality, born without fascism, nationalization in childhood make them. False value, false enemy, false nation definition make false enemy, destroy value of life. Nationalist kleptocracy created fa, refuse value of life and human rights. Why perfect educated kill perfect educated in other country? Why god perfect power in war with other god perfect power? Not humans united with humans power and rights, nationalists kleptocracy mafia divided humanity by false nation definition slavery. Take from society, use not for society, use for golden toilet trash war crime disease, is stealing. Reward for worsening, over reward is kleptocracy support, steal reward system. They not can distinguish race and nation, that create nationalists, create fa, take reward for worsening, reward for worsening is theft nationalists kleptocracy. Not luxury, murder. Barmen and narcologist, violate own law. They do, that, what not want do to themselves. Unlimited power is ownership of life, no moral, no law, slavery. Not only artificial inflation, kill by stealing safety, cripple to death, non direct kill, they steal money, money they are printed. If war is moral and legal, then why they self not go? They did nothing good. They not deserved golden toilets. They not have right on other life. They not deserve worship. They so powerful, they can create legal approved law, law by which they self must be killed, violate own law. They so powerful, they are only enemy to them. They create illegal inhuman law which support nationalist kleptocracy, their illegal law is proof for participation in war crime. Rights to create inhuman law is slavery. Nationalization without nation, mafia nationalist kleptocracy divide humanity by nations to cover war crime, nationalist slavery ownership, market division. Wikipedia false nation definition changed always. Commanders not kill directly, give orders and blame soldiers, soldiers forced to kill, blame generals, walking Milgram experiments. They kill for nation, they not know what nation is, nationalist kleptocracy protector, false value guard, false enemy fighter. Golden toilet over protected, golden toilet is not home country. Kill, then remainder of life think why. Not can distinguish between race and nation. To participate in war crime, not necessary join false nation definition army, and direct kill innocent by sarin, artillery or napalm. Work in book store, sell his kampf propaganda book, it eventually kill someone. Work in school to create war criminals. Work in okrestina, protect golden toilet and serve as walking Milgram experiment. Work in booz academy, call theft as salary, loose taxes of others, spend for trash, this pressed other life, may kill too. Reward for worsening is theft, kleptocracy, but if it called salary, they will believe that salary is deserved. Pay for false nation definition propaganda TV, help to create war criminals. Even buy food, pay taxes, nationalists kleptocrates use taxes for war crimes, taxes not for society. Buying food is very small part in war crime, non direct kill, may not count as war crime. Steal taxes, call it salary, buy pool of booz death sticks, non direct kill, may not count as food, this is much bigger. Support false nation definition tradition, godless religion, culture, nationalization without nation create war criminals, non direct kill, but huge participation in war crimes, even more than soldier. Who build same golden toilet yacht with them? Useless European Court of nationalists Human Rights. Internationalist kleptocracy Hague court. mac book false nation definition north Korea. Golden toilet false nation definition hilterugend science academy. Golden toilet godless false nation definition colonization. Godless golden toilet false nation definition shaolin war crime priests. Godless golden toilet false nation definition ten commandments crusade war priests, more than 4000 years. Godless golden toilet false nation definition Sicilian Mafia Rome Greek slave empire 2500 years ago. Godless false nation definition mafia culture illegal authority Pharaoh golden toilet pyramid kleptocracy slavery more than 4000 years ago. In opposite Spartacus human rights movement 2000 ago. Meritocracy. Confucianism. Cosmopolitanism 15 century. They told that they build new perfect society. Force, no moral no law. Booz for children. Ten commandments godless crusade. Animal cruelty. Golden toilet piercing in cost of life. Overpopulation family values. Funny lobotomy.

[@vermis8344]

I've seen some techniques for figure drawing that say to start with the shape of the head. I've seen others that say to start with the torso. Some others with the line of gesture. Only a cartoonist... ... would start with the nose. Masterful.

[@TheHelium999]

[@o.b.7217]

Sowie man die Nase sieht, weiß man wen er zeichnet. Asterix, Obelix, Miraculix, Troubardix, Falbala. Ist das genial, oder was? Das beweist, wie ikonisch alle seine Charaktere sind.

[@1Anime4you]

Wow, haven't seen the series since I was a kid but somehow I was still able to tell every character from their nose alone.

[@Moshugaani]

I love how broad and bold the strokes are! They can't have possibly drawn the comic panels so large though??

[@EagleOneM1953]

No, they usually do this kind of displays at comic strips conventions like in Angoulème in France, one of the most well known ones. Comic strips, and I used to make some myself are usually 3 to 4 times the size of how they appear in the albums and are drawn with pen and ink. What most here may not known is that Uderzo, a true master of his craft also made the aviation strip Tanguy and Laverdure. His realistic strips are evenly masterful, including his aircraft. I have all if not most of his Astèrix albums and love to reread them often. Not only are they masterfully drawn but written as well by René Goscinny. His humor is unsurpassed. As are his ideas of how certain things were invented way back in Roman times, including our national Belgian fries in the album Astèrix and the Belgians. A true genius, glad he's still with us at the age of 91. I hope he's doing OK healthwise.
