Always loved your line work. Beautiful stuff. 😁

“Does that make sense? It better.” 😂 love this guy

[@DavidGonzalez-tv2lf]

Is wonderfull to live in an era when you can take a lesson from Jim Lee himself anywhere un the world a

[@damasoramos6142]

Thats dedication..to use a sharpie on himself to teach a small point

Jim Lee Should really do a master class on drawing. I'd buy it no questions asked.

[@Supermason3000]

I would like just take my money. Class room setting, trust I'm there no matter where, what or how.

[@JulianPope]

Every time the guy picks up a pen it’s a masterclass.

[@mrpandabites]

It is incredible to me that I can learn from a childhood hero of mine in a way that is nearly identical to taking a classical drawing class. This is why the internet is great. Thank-you, master.

[@seansiewsarran]

It's so refreshing how humble you are to take the time from your busy schedule to explain these things. Sadly, not many professional artists are humble like you who take the time to answer questions. Despite being busy, many professional comic artists such as Shane Davis usually come across as snobbish when asking them tips on how to progress your art. For that, thanks a bunch Mr Lee ☺👍

[@lipranditoys]

You gotta love Jim Lee: extremely talented, very professional and very down to Earth in his explanations.

[@shadam_free]

Jim Lee's teaching is more effective than years of wasted time in any teaching institution. Explains, puts it in practice and demonstrates it.

[@atenakehnaton3965]

............yeah, but you're wrong.

[@shadam_free]

@@atenakehnaton3965 If I had to precise myself I wouldnt say "any", lets say any primary and secondary school. Or whatever you call them in your countries. You could explain why exactly I'm wrong, if you will

[@atenakehnaton3965]

@@shadam_free You're wrong in saying any teaching institution. Any college graduate who hasn't learned this, and really you should know this BEFORE you go to college, hasn't been paying attention. With that, if you're only referring to grades 1 through 12, not colleges or ateliers then perhaps not. I would also point out you had horrible art teachings in the latter years if they didn't teach you at least the basic concepts pointed out in this video.

[@shadam_free]

​@@atenakehnaton3965 Yes you are right and I've corrected myself already. Not sure what country you live in, but primary and secondary schools dont really teach precise arts, just basics, and maybe not even that. And also I'd mention that I am at the ending year of my secondary school so I had no art teaching at all, ball I have is natural talent and videos, and I found those more effective then the 12 years of school I was wasting my time with.

[@atenakehnaton3965]

@@shadam_free You should look for a book by Michael Hampton on Figure Drawing. You can find it for free as a pdf on Google, or get it off Amazon for roughly 20 American Dollars. Jim Lee took a lot from Andrew Loomis and George Bridgman. There are a lot of books out there that teach these things some good some bad.

[@artcole80]

The processing of Jim Lee's hand-eye-mind coordination is so amazing. It's hard to quantify his ability, but I'll I know is that you have to draw every day of your life to even get close. Specialization, like comic POVs, forms, lighting, and anatomy is a great start. I love cars, so I became an automotive designer. I admire artists who've made anatomy and the human form their life's artistic focus. Jim is one of the few that is at the very pinnacle of his skill. He is a true icon and master of comic anatomy and theme!

[@_festival]

I could watch Jim Lee art tutorials all day. He's so effortless!

[@bellycuda]

3:45 I actually used this technique to develop my quite impressive six pack abs!

[@Raffaojbr]

lol

[@impureneighbour9792]

The form of tone which Jim uses on the upper arm is number 1 in my eyes.

[@jhstatts888]

Superb teacher. I wish I had this kind of resource back when I was 13/14. It would have saved me so much money that I had to put toward student loans. The youth of today is pretty lucky. Thank you, Jim.

[@eugeniosabater8449]

I'm blown away by his performance! o_o Thank you sensei!

[@TheOriginalFayari]

10:35 Lmao, Jim Lee's style is so iconic that even Jim Lee himself forgot he was Jim Lee and referred to it as Jim Lee style.

[@roman2011]

In 12 mins my art just got 10x better. Thank you.

[@gem_n_i]

I took two years of figure drawing and I have learned more from Jim in 30mins!

[@justinbagdon5116]

I love the internet, getting to learn from my heroes has been amazing. Thank you Jim Lee. I remember reading batman hush and just being blown away entirely.

[@basteagui]

jim lee is the person i learn the most art from because he keeps it so simple. amazing teacher and artist!

[@the_gtc]

I am a beginner artist... many times before have I started really getting into a groove with a pen and sharpie to find myself reaching for (of all things) whiteout in my pencil bag. I always thought that I was completely nuts. Turns out even the greats use whiteout... what a trip

[@Supermason3000]

Seeing a master at work is just truly amazing and Inspiring and literally gave me the chills watching him draw. Learned a lot just from watching this.

[@rajkumarlakra2269]

Learning from the legend himself is the greatest gift one could have, thank you master jim.

[@김숭우-b9w]

jimlee is a very respectable artist， the skill he uses are special ，not only the catchy line but also the cross hatching， hope you guys appreciate his art. .. he really inspired lots of artists..

[@yukinawo3187]

What catchy line?

[@legospaceracer123]

I appreciate people like you who take out the time to teach us these things.

[@lionheart1019]

I've been drawing my whole life and I'm 23. This was one of the greatest learning curves for me thanks for this video. Last two years have been in a swampy milestone, but I think once I master smooth frame by frame action scenes that look anatomically correct lol I'll say goodbye to the swamp if that makes sense.

[@VZAAGE]

Makes sense to me, man. Keep it up!

[@Luper1billion]

Ive never thought of curving the hatching with the contour. Makes a huge difference

[@joshual1021]

You're seriously the best, man. I started out my drawing life by copying the forms/lines from your work from the 90's and ended up doing okay with just interpretation, but watching you work really helped me understand how to get the volumes/shapes down with lines and shading like I hadn't before. (I played with bridgman but this really understand that concept 100 times better.) Thanks for taking the time to show us dummies what we needed to complete the circuits in our brains!

[@ShaudaySmith]

On a completely unrelated note... I love Jim Lee's youthful voice. He's got a young, yet masculine voice that's really soothing and appealing. I would just really love hear him say in his sleaziest voice, "hey girl." .. . . i'm sorry, i'll go now. On a serious note, i love these free tips and tricks from a master. Thank you soo much for uploading these!

[@Geo139]

I have been a fan for decades and just had an "a ha" moment watching him draw. Wow

[@pavelbelun5117]

Amazing! Mr. Lee has a great skill in anatomy, learning with joy from him!

[@pat.k4823]

Jim Lee is the best!!! I love your draw style!!!👍👍👍👍

[@weichiang89]

Seeing those lines on that arm flooded my mind with all those 90s comics and a few Batman pieces Jim has done through he years.

[@DrAdnan]

I could listen to Jim Lee all day

[@davitenorio3644]

Line weight it's a thing that can make your drawing look way more interesting when you apply It,i just love this

I am off and on with drawing, and am still quite terrible. But holy moly watching this guy work is so satisfying.

[@VZAAGE]

A lot of artists recommend staying consistent in order to see results. Keep at it!

[@LjubisaP]

@@VZAAGE Thanks brother! WIll do.

[@Psychosocial_cracker]

Are we just gonna gloss over the fact that we are being taught by a god at work

[@viniciusmiranda762]

Why pay an art class if we have this fucking master to teach us?! I'm so glad for Jim Lee, and I learned so much from him already.

[@fanimeproductionst.v.3735]

The big muscle on the forearm is called the brachioradialis and is actually composed of two smaller muscles.

[@BiggusDickus79]

I was under the impression that the brachioradialis was a single muscle? Are you combining it with the extensor carpi radialis longus?

[@shaneyohner6585]

Lol "... If you dont get that, Well you better."

[@taylortrash]

Its so cool to be able to see jim fucking Lee drawing and teaching in pixels on my bedroom screen. I’m 40. 12 yr old me at Golden apple comics never could have imagined this shit. Crazy cool. Also, I have to say, I appreciate Jim commitment what with using the sharpie on his arm n all but now I’m kinda worried for his sanity

So talking about the light source bouncing off an object and then illuminating a secondary object, that would be the concept of diffused lighting correct?

[@increase9896]

this is so cool

[@SalTarvitz]

Master Jim Lee.

[@danieljoseph255]

I'd love to see him do a commentary on 'old master drawings'...someone like Raphael and his drawing techniques, maybe while reproducing something of his. As incredible as it is to watch Jim Lee bang out sketches like a machine, it'd be great to see him forcing himself to abandon his free flowing approach now and then.

[@makoktel]

wow great videos keep them coming

[@BaronVonTacocat]

Sweet!

[@99bakon]

Have i mentioned how much i dig theses tutorials? ;)

[@carritohmc]

Love these tutorials, anybody know if Jim's ever done a How to book? While I love the videos it is nice to have some reference books for offline. Or if he's recommended one?

Jim usually recommends the following amzn.to/2MDYIMW There is a book by DC which heavily borrows from Jim's style here amzn.to/2MDZae6

[@carritohmc]

@@VZAAGE Holy Smokes!! Thanks for the quick reply, I added these to my cart on Amazon. After I get done with my indie game I want to get back to drawing again, thanks for the uploads! I'm going to give myself some time to just watch tutorials like these and read through the books to get back on track.
