Jim Lee drawing Batman for Charity (Part 1)

[@RavishingSailor]

Back in the late 80's and early 90's when I attended art school, I would just sit there for hours trying to copy Jim Lee's work. He was like a myth and legend. Now more then 25 years later we get to see the master at work creating works of artistic wonder. Gotta love youtube.

I think the weather hates batman, every time he goes out to fight crime, there is a storm xD

[@mwells219]

It’s all Frank Miller’s fault.

[@chorn83]

I believe you meant Bat Pose. Like when he used the Bat Dak to get out of arguing with Bat Girl in the Killing Joke.

[@caioalexandre5422]

Draw so much Jim Lee ! The new generation need of artist like you!

[@Darwin327]

When you start the drawing from a leg and then you work your way up and around = Jedi level drawing skills

[@Zan_Jayna]

The exact thing they all made fun of rob Liefeld for doing in the how to draw video series, lol

[@whome5091]

It blows me away how easy he makes it look !😱

[@alexaviercomics4241]

It is easy, art just takes time but at the end it’s worth every year

[@jasonnewsham7724]

This man has inspired an entire generation of artist. I said it before he is a Bob Ross. he makes a white canvas into a work of art

[@Zan_Jayna]

Too bad this generation is all about the Charles Shultz look

[@jasonnewsham7724]

This man is a master. even when he makes mistakes he does not freak out he finds ways around them. I would never deserve to meet one with his talent or wisdom. keep drawing Jim Lee

[@BEAKER6868]

god damn. impeccable skill through and through. what I wouldn't give to be able to draw like this.

[@michaeljohnsonclyburn1397]

Art is really a joy. Was having a down week and this came right on time. Haven't seen a Jim lee in a bit and I'm happy to see it. This batman is awesome. Unparalleled foreshortening...but its Jim :)

[@VZAAGE]

Glad to have been instrumental in brightening your day but of course most of that is owed to the man Jim Lee.

[@npc1172]

He draws so oddly, he makes these sloppy outlines into clean masterpieces. it’s so cool.

[@MrOctober1990]

Most artist start this way "sloppy"

[@Jjjcs]

That’s a rule. From general to particular.

[@philbrightman3174]

Amazing just to sit n watch u draw. Pure talent!!!

[@MightyDraws]

Thanks for sharing as always. Ive been missing his streams a lot lately

[@dindintulabot2681]

I Love that Jim always reads the comments

[@motorizedmisfit-artist8535]

Jim Lee is the chuck norris of comic books!

[@Sublime_37]

Jim Lee is the most naturally gifted.

[@jasonnewsham7724]

Believe me that’s the hardest part taking your pencils that you think came out great then trying to ink them it’s terrifying

[@joemsonntag]

Sweet! I started watching this on Twitch but didn't get a chance to finish. Jim Lee has been one of my biggest influences over the years, watching him draw has taught me a lot and helped me with my own art recently.

[@DigitalArtcast]

Another great video. Damn I love these, keep it up!

[@thehumancrayon3264]

Man, I really could watch Jim Lee draw all day.

[@brikkboyz22studios]

I wish I could DRAW like him

[@pat.k4823]

Soo good!! I love your style mr.lee

[@VZAAGE]

Go let him know on his Discord channel... discord.gg/jimlee

[@TheShreddDude]

Jim's skies always look like aurora borealis. Face looks like Affleck Batman.

[@kingslavd661]

You mean Ben Affleck's face is modeled after Lee's Batman

[@beepbeep3046]

Omg!!! That's such a good drawing!!!!!!

[@itsmepogchamp7068]

It's times like these when I think why do I even bother drawing I'll never be anywhere near this level, but life carries on in its own sad way

[@RobertF-]

Don't over think it bro. Just do your best and keep having fun drawing. There's nothing else you can do. Peace

[@RobertF-]

@Batman good point. I'll just add in also, focusing on learning how to block in a picture by lightly drawing large simple shapes first, and then drawing small dark details on top of that, that is really the main thing to focus on and learn. It's kind of tricky at first, but if you just stay patient and keep practicing you will learn how to do it. Just keep having fun with it, because that's what keeps you going and not giving up on it.

[@photoshopedcountryballs5094]

@Axel F Thank you

[@sailorboluda4966]

I know it's old but to anybody who needs to hear it: use this video to learn, study it, study artists you admire, keep practicing, read books about subjects u wanna get better at, draw everyday. trust me if u really want it you'll get there! u gotta believe in yourself as corny as it sounds, put in the work and enjoy the process

[@setholson616]

Jim is such a badass. The tissue/ink thing is a no go. There are other options that give a much cleaner look. Be fun to see him change it up.

[@tommy2go352]

Incredible

[@haxanshabbir]

After sooo long finally

[@Nobody71416]

Just wanna say that you’re an absolute legend sir. The only reason I wanted to draw as a child was to try to copy you.

[@panzerpatriot4920]

Superb art Jim,as always! Jim can you please tell me if you have an issue with your sakura fineliners when their tip wont feed the ink that good after fast sketch like motions ? Thanks a lot!

[@VZAAGE]

Hi Panzer Patriot. I'm just a dude who edits these videos. You should join Jim's discord channel at discord.gg/jimlee and pose your question. Even if Jim doesn't respond there are plenty of fellow artists and art lovers who would be able to answer your question.

Jim Lee ' s drawing Final Fantasy Squall or Terminator and Sarah Connor. Joker ' s using The King of Fighters XI ' s Oswald character body sprites. Shinkiro is ver good artist too.

I suggested it should be old batman crouching on a walker instead of a gargoyle.

[@KGBjj820]

Good! I saw it really well....^^

[@bahamu]

How do your micron pens drop so much ink? I have the same one that is new and it doesn't seem to put out as much as yours. What's the deal?

[@CommakillMW2]

The 04 is a pretty good size, though. I like using that with a 005 for finer details and textures. Just my 2 cents. I’m nobody.

Anyone know a link to a full size image of this?

It hasn't been finalized yet. Jim is going to work on it some more and then when it goes up for auction we'll likely get a nice sized scan of the final image.

[@shad-o9703]

Underrated channel. But i have a question, how did you start making income off of your art work? And how did you get into a job like this? I always have a passion and urges to draw to improve further and further, but the thought of doing this as a career would make me more than happy if i can live and make money off of my passion. Please i really do want to become a professional artist.

Hi Gin... I'm just a video editor. For questions like that you should try contacting Jim at one of his social media outlets (links in description of this video).
