Do they even comprehend what a one in a million, once in a life time opportunity they are getting?

That kid in the back taking this lesson to heart.

14:21 Girl "Its just so inspiring...wow!! Neal: "well its supposed to be I'm fucking Neal Adams" BEST LINE EVERRRRR!!

These kids have no idea the legend that sat before them.

“Well it’s supposed to be I’m fucking Neal Adams”, What a forkin goat lmao wish I was in that class room.

"And like I say kids, it's ALL Bullshit" God I learned so much from this. Not just about comics but fucking life. Cheers Mr.Neal Adams! P.S. I was "that girl" with the beret

16:00 The best explanation of why someone doesn't draw on the computer!

Damn lucky. This was right before COVID.

After years of suggesting that not being able to draw a straight line was simply 1 of the things I can't really do, this video appears, and 5 minutes later, I can now do it...Unbelievable, lol.

I wish I would have gotten to go to a high school like this when I was a kid. I learned so much from this video that I wish I would have heard years ago.

no joke.. just practiced the straight line with Neal's technique..and drew five perfect straight lines... insane. I've been drawing my whole life.

if i had been fortunate enough to have gone to a school like that, i think my life would have been very different. my school undervalued and discouraged art... lucky kids

When a master speaks we must pay atention

HOLY MOLY, to be in such a small class with such a master teaching so well??? Life-changing.

One of the best in comics. He will be missed

Learned more about bettering my line work from this than any of my art classes

Luckiest kids in the world. Getting art lessons from Neal Adams.

its like listening to the kung fu master of drawing nerds

Watched it. Thank you Mr. Adams. I am a man in my sixites and I probably got even more out of your talk than those wonderful kids did.

I did a couple of storyboard jobs for Neal's Continuity Graohics in Burbank CA back in 1988. He was great to work for, real confident, decisive and direct with instructions. He looked like a superhero bodybuilder in those days.

Wow, I have enjoyed like if I was there. Thanks a lot for recording it. Smart, adorable, fun... I am speechless .Even when he hasn’t inked anything completely, I was learning listening him.

Thanks for this. I enjoyed listening to his life stories

So wise! Thanks Mr. Adams!

Sir you are an inspiration to us all thank you for advice and sense xxx

good advice i'm gonna practice this method

What a great guy! True legend.

He would have been a great teacher .. and must have been a perfect grandfather.

Inspirational great teacher

This video is solid gold.

So, that girl did the impossible, she took a free autograph of Neal Adams

Funny as f..k, I love the honesty of our generations, yes we ain't quite designed for the classroom environment, but the point is made, bless ya, well done sir. X

Thank you; great advise.

Besides being such a legend, look at that head of hair!

What a legend!

I would have killed to end up in a school like this where they appreciated and nourished the love for art

Thanks neal

thanks for sharing :) btw girl on the background looks cute XD

I have always done this naturally just thought everyone did as well.

I wish I went to a school like this

Dude is a gem.

Where was this years ago?!

Nice!

Holy shit thank you!

No wonder I've had such a hard time with the way I ink. I always rested my pens on my knuckle

Check out my Neal Adams collection in this video: kzfaq.info/get/bejne/mryBoZuLrsuad2Q.html

Wow thanks neal, rest in peace sir

What school is this

Can anyone recommend any place to get large practice sheets like they have?

that example he made of making money with traditional work against digital reminded me of nfts and i felt a little sick lol

👍🏾🏁

any one able to tell what kind of pen Adams is using in this video?

The girl in the back of Neal with the beanie hat. Who is she??? I think I'm in love!!! It's hard to watch this video, when she is distracting me.😁

..wish someone had told me as a kid how to hold a fkn pencil correctly! He was right!!!!

"Your body is made to do art....all your bones & everything that works up here is made to do art. You just have to learn how to use it." (31:10) "It's amazing the delicacy you can have with this instrument [the hand].....God has given you the greatest possible instrument you can ever have, to do artwork, & that's this delicate thing." (26:11) "Look to the past for your skills & build your skills forward, rather than ignore them & let them drop." (33:48) "That's how you get Adam Hughes [etc]....they get to be the best guys because they study the past." (34:20) Wow! This was such fun! What a character! You can see how THIS was the one who stood up to the big comics companies & led the fight for artists rights to their own work etc. I wish he'd toned down the language, especially for the school class, but an inspiring encouragement all the same. I wish i could have been there! 😏

It would’ve been hilarious if he farted when they were grabbing his fingers.

Wrong kids for Neal Adams , they look like super lazy.

16:58 computers are not stupid. Respect the guy, but that made him seem like a dinosaur. There are pro and cons to both digital and traditional. I know this is about comics, but for animating, no one animates on paper anymore, it's too inefficient. This is one way computers aren't dumb. I know he meant, computer doesn't make you draw better. 23:42 no one inks on cells anymore. we use computers. LOL but computers are dumb. "i can get twice a much work done with a pen than dipping." student aks, "How do you get grey tones" "Use a brush." I just thought it was funny, when he was bragging about how much better a pen was, I was just thinking some people use dip pens and brushes for grey tones, that you can't get with.a pen. Just saying. Again, pros and cons to each. Thanks showing how to hold the pen correctly and the Mr. Yang (sp?) story. It really made me smile. Along with the cultural difference of western and eastern, and white culture difference with the handball story. BTW art isn't always about reselling for more money, but I heard him out, the original if done traditionally is worth more than digital. I tend to see his stuff on Heritage Auctions, a lot so that is a plus compared to digital work. Cool and lucky students. Wonder how many will go to SVA,
