3 Reasons why I would work for Marvel Comics.

Recently, I posted a video, three reasons why never work for Marvel Comics. In the video I did say that if I had the opportunity, I probably would work for Marvel, but that video was the reasons why you shouldn’t work for Marvel. This video is the other side of the coin, why it would be cool to work for Marvel Comics. Spoiler if you didn’t watch my other video, one of the reasons is not, you wi...

Review: How To Draw Comics the Marvel Way.
I like clips just because it tends to stop desk roll. Lost many a pencil to that.
I have a metal lip on my drawing board that holds pencils. Since I keep my drawing desk at a pretty steep angle a clip doesn’t help. But pencils I keep in my backpack I like to have a clip on.
Amen! I began gaming in 1986, but still love B/X. Only began to discover Original when S&W was released (2008) but this was and is so solid and playable for OD&D gaming! Great iteration of super old-school (original, even)! And the thief is present and highly usable, too! Solid work! Super fun. It’s been my personal go-to when I don’t use B/X or another system entirely, ever since its release in 2017 or so! I know this is an old vid but I wanted to give credit where it’s due. Thanks, man. Cheers! 🙂
Thanks for the comments. Unfortunately, I haven’t been able to play much lately due to no free time. But I will get back to the table soon.
Really great book but I do have a couple gripes. Firstly, Tom Fox is surprisingly against gesture, which is a fundamental skill that artists of all level should possess and be able to execute. Fox emphasizes structure more than rhythm which may lead some beginner artists to create stiff figures. Also, a feature of beginning drawing books that I believe is really important is subdued style/not stylizing figures. Fox's figures are very stylized which may impact beginners ability to properly express their own style down the line. Fox's book is amazing and also very fun to work from, however, I would just be wary of the ideas mentioned above.
Great point about gesture. I think gesture is best learned by observation and almost something an artist has to work through until they ‘see it’. I guess in reality no figure drawing book is a substitute for just filling pages (and pages) of sketchbooks.
It looks like a video in 2008, ahh memories when we barely could see the letters in the menus explaining software. But the message is cool. Well thought.
Thanks!
A lot of things they did and did not do I had put into the book. But any of their revision is good.
I have this book😎the thumbnail caught my attention!
Thanks. I was hoping people who had the book would see the thumbnail.
Well, I did work for Marvel Comics and if you liked the stuff we grew up on, check out my Marvel Adventures Hulk stuff. All issues are one and done. Enjoy. :)
Man I loved this video am definitely gonna do the hw. Keep it up man love this.❤❤❤
Awesome! Thank you!
18:27 they do that because they don't want another Image comics. Todd McFarlane always told artists to get a two year run before they go off and do their own thing. Marvel editor Bob Harras countered that by not letting an artist build a following passed 10-12 issue runs.
Yes, the Image artists leaving actually caused Marvel’s stock price to drop so it makes sense they wouldn’t want to be in that place again.
Great book! Definitely worth the price. And yeah it is dense with information, tons of fantastic examples to work with and study from.
It’s the figure drawing book I go back to again and again, it’s got so much information in it.
Great review, Scott! I noticed the upside-down page too, while I was studying the flying figure that seemed to be diving backward. Thanks for creating all the lessons to follow along with this book! It inspired me to make a couple of videos on the book's best practices as well. Let me know what you think!
I know it’s just examples but it drives me crazy.
My condolences about your father. Thanks for staying determined and continuing your lessons.
Thanks I really appreciate it! I was blessed to have a great father and we miss him.
Is this the one that published in simon & schuster company or titan books ltd company? Im not sure which one to buy, do you think its the same?
Mine is published by Fireside Books which is an imprint of Simon and Schuster. It is a ‘library binding’ which means it’s a hardcover, but has the soft cover image printed on the cover and no dustjacket. I’m not familiar with the titan edition but I’d make sure it by Lee and Buscema.
I’ve always said that the job I want in comics doesn’t exist anymore
Exactly. I’d love to have worked at Marvel in the ‘70s or ‘80s.
I hate to self promote, but I think you’re on the same wavelength as myself and my buddy Ryan over at comics in the making

When was Oklahoma bombed
04.19.1995 I was there and worked the ER for the rest of the day
@@amberm9974 wow.. ok. Thanks.
I recorded the video on the spur of the moment when I was visiting the site yesterday. Mid recording I realized I couldn’t remember the date so I didn’t say it in the video. Embarrassing but that’s how it happened.
I still remember the day.
Me too. I work a few miles south of downtown and we heard the explosion. Driving home that day I drove past downtown on the highway a few blocks away and there was still smoke coming from the site. The air was thick with helicopters circling, so many that they shut down the airspace above the site, fearing a midair collision.
Congratulations with your Comic book. I really hope you find the time to continue this series. Great work all around.
My current project, The Black Cricket has an inker so monthly should be doable. We are getting about a 6 issue head start so we have a little wiggle room.
@@scottsackett8790 That is fantastic. Wish you all well.
That clutch pencil should have a sharpener on the end of it.
It does, but it makes a short point that dulls quickly. I prefer using a knife or a handheld sharpener.
@@scottsackett8790 I seen a guy years and years ago sharpen it with a standing block and he basically just sands it on a 45 degree angle and the tips looks like a chisel. I use mine for the under drawing so I never sharpen anyway.
Great commentary. I’m staying indie and honestly doing comics for fun. It’s less stressful that way. ✌️
Thanks! And I agree! Thankfully I found a group of creators who have similar ideas and taste and we are working on a comic book, The Black Cricket.
@@scottsackett8790 very cool!! I’ll check it out!
Disillusioned. The last Mainstream (DC/Marvel) comic I randomly purchased was a CONAN because I heard Marvel had the rights again. It left much to be desired. Marvel just seemed to be in a holding.pattern, trademark wise, instead of a creative one! Fergeddaboutem!
I agree. I’ve loved Marvel all my life but they just aren’t making comics I’d want to draw.
Hi Scott, can you please do a flip through review of Rich Buckler's How To Draw Super Heroes. Thanks
That’s a great suggestion! I’ll have to do that.
Holds up the second one completely broken…pauses in thought 3:45 “so eehhh I can’t recommend this.” Love it man ahaha. I too wouldn’t recommend a broken one either 🤣
Good comics make you make your own storys . Good comics make you day dream.
Any problems in the comic business can only be solved with one word- more gay.
That’s two words.
@@scottsackett8790 lol
John Byrne and Alan Davis are the 2 best ever writer/artist combination creators in the history of comic books. In my humble opinion.
Definitely two of the best.
Erik Larsen, Frank Miller, Frank Cho, Todd McFarlane, Rob Liefeld, come to mind.
Nice man
Thanks!
100% Its not about the love of the medium or quality content anymore. They're not attracting top-tier talent. They are recruiting to check a box at the lowest possible cost. They are doing nothing to attract their audience, they are actively turning them away and deriding them. Its a shame. What happened to Ed Piskor, who did more for comics with his enthusiasm and knowledge than almost anyone has in the last 10 years, is a tragedy and the industry has hardly blinked an eye.
Thanks, I’m not sure why top tier talent would work in comics. There are much better ‘art jobs’ out there, I have one and I’m nothing special. And I draw the comics I want on the side. The industry is much poorer for the loss of Ed. CK did a lot to promote comics, filling kind of a role Wizard magazine did in the ‘90s.
I wish you much success.
Thanks, that’s very kind of you. I am working on a fun comic with a great team. I have a great day job and so I can draw what I want.
keep speaking out my dude! This is the Iron Age now!
Thanks, I’ve got a surprising amount of negative pushback on this video.
It's very sad to hear these stories where the more we go on over time, the less excitement Marvel and DC have in terms of making comics. I know that there's more comics our there than just the big 2 and superheroes but for better or worse, they are the lifeline for comics in general over in the US. To me the problem is not much on the content but how that is being portrayed. Most of current creators understandably are looking for abetter pay and instead of creating a thought out story with known characters, it's in their better interest to make up their own for residuals and extend the story for the trade sales. A good example is BMB with Miles, did gang busters for many reasons but that sort of plan is really just lucking out. Not everyone can make the next breakout character, it didn't even work for him a second time over at DC. Plus, editorial has a terrible grasp in keeping the momentum. Still in these new characters like the newest Ms Marvel, editorial dripped the ball because they didn't know what to do with her even though she has the the last I can think of that had such fan support. And on top of that, I agree with the general resentment towards fans from Marvel in particular. Ms Marvel was killed off so apathetic for the sake of making a buck out of cha in her to a mutant in a Spider-Man book out of all places. If there's no direction with these people, it seems that creators are left adrift to help themselves to whatever they can get in this industry. Like seriously, even synergy is done so haphazardly. I think of how the animated Spider-verse movies had done so well for Marvel and just now are we getting a Peter and Mike team up book when there's no movie out and 5 year too late. Instead they do as others here said, farming for more characters to keep expanding but no one will use them because every other writer wants to come up with their own cashcow.
I think that’s a smart analysis.
I miss the sweatshop days when everything was done out of an office, and comic book production actually paid wages to live off of. Hasnt been that wayfor decades.
Marvel is worst than DC in that they give no incentive to add to their or better said Disney IP portfolio, they own it and that is that. Another reason non of those is the industry actually write endearing and lasting tales.
From what I hear, DC gives you way more money if they use your IP in a movie.
These comic companies are just part of bigger companies, they are not their to make entertaining tales or invest into making a solid living, it is all about keeping the intellectual property running and adding more elements to mine for other media and merch. I gave up on Marvel and DC. Yet I'm happy to find great tales from Japan, Europe and the indy scene.
The idea of storytelling with comics isn’t dead and I don’t think superhero stories are dead. I just think Marvel has lost its way and like you said they have a huge corporate behind them now so the focus seems to be on other things, which is unfortunate.
1 - treatment of Jack Kirby
Amen!!! 💯
And his family. Glad they seemingly settled with Marvel.
No doubt. And Steve Ditko. And Herb Trimpe. Etc.
@@scottsackett8790Herb Trimpe did that to himself
@@rockon8174 Could be, all I know is from reading his article about getting fired by Marvel. There could certainly be more going on.
Totally relate to you man!
Thanks! I was a little reluctant to record this because I knew people would accuse me of sour grapes. I tried to be clear in my stance and hoped some people would get what I was saying.
The comic industry was infiltrated by activists with bad intentions. They don’t care or love comics. As a writer I’ll be glad to stay independent and continue having fun creating new stories and putting out my books. The great thing is that I get to write anything I want with no one except the editor standing over my shoulders. It’s been a blast and I’m learning a lot about storytelling and about my potential
Activists are a response to something. The comics industry and its history of being used as propaganda and means to ridicule certain groups of people led to the state it is in socially. Hopefully people can learn from the bad actors of the past, and comics won’t have to be a battleground.
Activism is a response to something. Comics created their own scenario with what they portrayed and how they were used historically in terms of images and messages by some.
I agree.
Too bad they're not carrying them anymore. They look like they were pretty good.
The Dark Pheonix was the pinnacle of Xmen. Absolutely. Marvel was at pinnacle then.
The trade I showed in the video I’ve owned for over 30 years. I carried it with me all through art school and in my backpack at work. I got it signed by Claremont and Byrne a few years ago and so it sits on my drawing table full time.
Claremont and Byrne. Both titans annuls of comic book history. It was my dream to become a comic book artist at Marvel. But I am a sexual assault and child abuse survivor and people like me become dysfunctional adults, and I didn't achieve my dream. But I am doing it now. Right now as I am texting this I am working a comic that I want to draw. And with technology now people will see it. I'm doing MY - Own - Thing. And in a way, it worked out. You may like my comic. It's about atheism and Nihilism from tge perspective of an egg.
Oh it called EggHead.
Thanks to everyone who watched this video and gets what I’m trying to say. People have asked what the comic I mention in the video that I’m currently drawing. It’s a Bronze Age Marvel style comic called The Black Cricket. It’s about the adult son of an inventor. The inventor accidentally caused his son to go deaf and spent the rest of his life trying to get his son’s hearing back. As an adult the son realizes he cost the world all these great inventions his dad developed so he has adapted them to fight crime as a way of atoning for this. It’s written by Dan Johnson, penciled by me, inked by Jeff Austin and lettered/colored by Kevin Halter. Antarctic Press has expressed interest in the project as an ongoing but nothing official has been announced.
Well spoken man. I wanted to become a comic book artist so bad at one point. I still do but I think I missed the boat. I love drawing. But as the saying goes. I guess life got in the way. I do dream of publishing my own graphic novel. But I get your point of what Marvel Comics has become. It’s not a friendly place from all I’ve read and heard now days. I recently re read a reprint of Secret Wars #4 and man, what a difference!!! In that one issue I got to see so much action and drama and like more than a dozen of Marvel’s best characters interacting and the action, wow the action! They don’t even put the classic “Stan Lee presents “ tag line anymore in the introductions. So man, I get it. I for one dream of writing a Superman book regularly for a couple of years. My life would be complete as the saying goes.
Thanks for watching and for understanding what I was trying to say. I was concerned people would misunderstand. I still love comics and I am drawing a comic I think is in the spirit of Old Marvel.
@@scottsackett8790 I would like to see it. 👍🏼
Just make your own comic then.
@@shaneraine8081 I will. 👍🏼
The creative arts have really taken a beating as far as being "full time jobs" that adults can live on these days, that's for sure. I am very intrigued by the comic you mentioned working on right now, tho! :)
Thanks for watching! I am currently drawing The Black Cricket! I didn’t mention it in the video because I didn’t want my message to be seen as self promoting. I went to school to be trained as a commercial artist. This used to be a good career with plenty of jobs. The desktop publishing revolution of the ‘90s decimated that career.
I Bought a $3 usb to usb C adapter from Amazon for my 2024 Mazda 3 Carbon Turbo and I play all my music through a flash drive
Thanks! I wondered if the would work.
I find this book very akward. It tends to verbally desribed things instead of just have visuals.
It’s definitely an older style of art book that spun out of Bridgeman’s lectures.
CD player? You got a rotary phone and a rolodex too?
Not a damn thing wrong with physical media.

I bet you he still has a Motorola Razr and uses a pager😂
@BrandonRalstonUSA alright next time you need to look something up you better go to the library and find a few books on the topic lol
@@16BitOG Why would you assume I only use physical media?
Was it cuz it was a Mazda?
Birds or bats?😮
I'm pretty sure they were birds.
Yay! Nightcrawler!
I love your nerdy subjects! We are fans of the same stuff. I found this because I'm thinking of picking up this sketchbook.
Thanks for following my channel! I love these sketchbooks. I got lucky about 5 years ago and bought a few when they were on sale. The only thing I would say bad is the covers are pretty flimsy compared to most sketchbooks. But once you get used to them they are great.
Great video, thank you for the review!
Glad you enjoyed it!
