Thank you for sharing all of this, it's really helpful and interesting to see how your process is.

This gentleman is inspiration for every comic artist.

Maintaining your individual identity while collaborating on art may best be exemplified when you painted a Wizard cover in '04 from a pencil piece by Jim Lee.

How does the Great Alex Ross only have 86K subscribers? He should be in the millions as far as I am concerned.

You're the best. Much love from Egypt ❤

I love hearing Alex talk about art process, but I really love it when he digs into the philosophy and history of comic book art.

[@thetruej7872]

Your art is fantastic. You're a legend my dude

[@starquack]

Thank you for your honesty about backgrounds! I hate them too. But when someone as excellent as you says things like that and also comments about how the process can be exhausting, it’s actually very encouraging to aspiring creators like myself. It makes it all seem possible if someone like you is also dealing with these things!

Picked this up last week. The whole book is well designed and printing book quality is excellent. I love your grand vision. Would love to see a black and white version. Truly inspiring!

As an artist highly inspired by Alex Ross the name dropping is killing me.

[@James-ip7zk]

The fact you are doing something different is more attractive for me. Fantastic work, no pun intended

[@denniscleary7580]

You’ve inspired my wife and I since childhood

[@dieselsk8]

I love that Alex Ross challenges himself. A lot of great comic book artists change methods or styles over time, e.g. Mike McMahon started fairly realistic. Now, he's a cubist.

Bro dropped the hardest beat of all time at the end 💯💯

[@williambrown6185]

I very much enjoyed the change. I think as artists we have to try new things. outside the norm of whats expected. I started drawinbg on gray paper with white chalk and i love it. its some of my best work. I have tried inking a couple times. and it sucks lol. But i still have a desire to learn it. especially after reading your FF book. You can still retian your style . I loved the work in Thy Kingdom come also. Ink with what looked like colored pencil.

[@dazatron1664]

This is insanely good. There’s something beautiful about classic inked comic book pages. I love seeing you use this medium, it feels very exciting and a real labour of love. Thanks for sharing the process. A real inspiration 👍are you doing the colour work on these? Loving the Jack Kirby influences

[@harold5540]

Colored or Not, your work is AMAZING! Thanks for continuously inspiring us!

[@carlosroo5460]

For what is worth, I love your inking as much as you paintings. In fact is making me inch to go and start drawing. I can just watch this for hours.
