Illustrator Reacts to Good and Bad Comic Book Art 2

Күн бұрын

Alex Ross, Mike Mignola, Jorge Jiménez, Das Pastoras, Greg Land, Fiona Staples... All artists with an insane skill set working as some of the top industry professionals out there for Marvel, DC, Image and Dark Horse comics. They all have some insanely impressive art, and there is a ton that can be learned from analyzing both their best work and some of their less stellar work.
So in this series, that is very much a rip off of shows like VFX Artist react to Great and Bad Special effects and LegalEagle, I breakdown art from all of these talented creators and talk about what went right, and sometimes not so right in their work.
In this episode I cover artists who copy, who use reference images, composition and guiding readers eyes through an image, perspective and a bunch of other illustration and art principles.
I've been a professional Illustrator and Animator for seven years and while all these artists are leagues ahead of me, hopefully some of my insights as a professional are informative and fun to listen to!
Just realized this description now sounds like it was written by a corporate drone or something. But it also has the search terms in it that are required to get a video boosted up in the ranks. Even made sure to put the name of Corridor Crew's series in here so when people search that my videos are more likely to pop up. Why am I still writing this? I've got another video I need to work on. But more importantly, why are you still reading this? Get outta here!!! But also thanks for watching!!
And of course, let me know what other comic art you'd want me to react to!

True. It's not like he copies the reference exactly as it is anyway, he exaggerates certain features and changes the line of angle to give it a more "animated look", clearly showing skill in using references.

As som one who illustrates himself and hopes to do it professionally, I don't get that complaint. Sometimes a reference is needed, and it's not cheating, it STILL takes work and effort for to make the image work.... Heck, it takes about as much effort to make the photos viable references.

Alex Ross's style virtually demands reference material. He has the technique to create stunning hyper realism. If the anatomy and lighting isn't perfect, it would fail.

@futurestoryteller 4 жыл бұрын

Look at the Shazaam art next to its reference: the posture, proportions, setting, figurative prominence, facial structure, and elasticity of the costume are *all* different. He took a picture of someone indoors for exterior artwork, and it still turned out perfectly. Even if the model was standing by a window, he's still not being lit the same way as if he'd been outdoors. Yet that's one of the only things he used. So, I don't think I can agree that his style demands reference. Maybe it does, he's the one deciding to use it after all, but he cans a lot of it in the end. I'm really impressed by how useless that reference feels in comparison to the finished artwork.

Well when you look at Alex Ross when he started out; he was basically doing stick figures with blobs of color around them, he vastly improved because he got proper training, both from an arts school and from his Mum, Lynette Ross, who is also an artist. So it's possible for anyone to get that good, only reason he got to be that good was because of his formal training (the people in his art are so lifelike because he tends to hire real people as models that pose for him too, he then paints on the superhero garments), and you can try learning some art theory and copy his artworks if needs be, but at the same time; don't be afraid to search for a style that resonates best with you.

2:26 It's not Anatomy what these people struggle with. They study anatomy frequently, it shows, what they can't handle is drawing anatomy in correct perspective volume because they do not go through the process of "blocking volumes" as geometrical shapes before adding muscles, the result is often a formulaic rigid pose in their characters because of that.

Guyver by Yoshiki Takaya. One of the longest running manga series, it has been going since 1985. What fascinates me about it are the extremely complex and detailed character designs. Takaya took influence from many Tokusatsu style sources. As manga styles have continually evolved as the years have passed many (not all) more modern series have moved towards more stylized less detailed character renderings I have always found it heartening looking back to the series that have been going constantly since the 1980's such as Guyver, Berserk, and JoJo and being blown away by the sheer amount of drawing and inking that went into each individual panel. An intricate style that has slowly been disappearing for many years now.

@PopCross Studios I recommend checking out Tetsuo Hara's art especially in Fist Of The North Star as he was basically one of the few artists who started the trend for the manly anime art style and depicted the anatomy of bodybuilder's and famous action stars quite wonderfully. I would recommend checking out both his older stuff as well as his last pieces. His use for complementary colours is great which in turn accentuates the story and character's emotion. Also, unlike newer artists, he primarily used watercolour paints for colouring. Sorry, this was long as shit but hey I got a lot of good stuff to say about Hara's work.

Do7 I was told at the art institute of Philadelphia, that as long as you're NOT creating FINE ART. There is NO such thing as right or wrong. The simple fact that you are creating fantasy, let the sky be your limit or no limitations at all. Trees can be blue. The sky can be polka dot if you wish. Because it's your own created universe. Even perspectives can go askew! I agree with that statement.

That is because of how magazines there hire newcomer.
