Rad! The 5.6mm looks like a lot of fun. I gotta try one of those out. The ones I use are the Staedtler Mars Technico 2mm. I take the click off for extra comfort!

Thanks! Which book is your favorite?

Glad you enjoyed it! The Loomis books are a bit hefty, but the information he provides on how to think like an artist is something every beginner needs to hear. I’ll be sharing more of my work and studies in my future tutorials. Any chapters or subjects in specific you would like to see?

Thanks for sharing your experience, I'm glad you ultimately found the content helpful!

Thanks! How’d you like the series?

@@duoali not the first time I’ve gotten that! Thanks for the kind words and for watching! Glad you enjoy the tutorial.

Thanks! Glad you enjoyed it!

🙏🙏🙏🙏🙏

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!

Thank you! Glad you enjoyed!

Thank you!! 🙏

Thank you for the kind words and I appreciate the support! Definitely get yourself a copy again. Half price books usually has some decent hardcovers!

Welcome! What did you think of the walk through?

It was great man, I always find your videos helpful and inspiring ❤🤌

Thank you for the kind words! It means a lot. Appreciate you tuning in and watching. 👊👊

@@the_artistic_avenger pleasures all mine bro, as an aspiring artist I find your content very helpful so it means alot to me actually 😂

🙌 Happy to be of assistance! If you have any questions or want any feedback feel free to ask here or share your work in the discord!

Everyone’s journey is different. Are you going to get another copy?

How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way Hardcover was a little hard to find at a decent price. But I consider it a must have. I prefer hardcovers and currently still tracking down a few. What's your preference? Anatomy for Artists by Barrington Barber is a terrific resource for any artist looking to improve their figure drawing skills. Its clear and detailed illustrations, combined with practical advice, provide a solid foundation for understanding the human form. It's great to break down each individual body part when practicing.

Great recommendation! Thanks for sharing.

Glad to hear that! Thanks for tuning in. What do you like to draw?

Care to elaborate?

That’s really frustrating. Were you able to get export them into a different format?

@@the_artistic_avenger Nope, that was the scam. They advertised a course and it was only a picture.

@uspnut ooof. Sorry to hear that. If you’re looking for guidance and feedback on your artwork, you’re more than welcome to join our discord channel. Link to it is in the profile section and let me know if you have any issues with that. 👊

Right now I'm in the process of getting a refund, either from them, my credit card or PayPal. They don't alert you about any subscriptions or any deals other than the 10$ deal I initially got from social media. They are imho a very dishonest shady company for not being transparent and not allowing customers remove the subscription once it hits because they never ever mention it anywhere. Dishonest and shady people, I hope their business model goes under and anyone supporting them supports this type of thievery and unscrupulous behavior.

Whoa there friendo, hold on a minute! It's great that you have strong opinions about learning to draw, but let's break this down a bit. "How to Draw the Marvel Way" isn't meant to be the ultimate, all-encompassing guide to becoming a professional comic book artist. It is, however, a fun and accessible way to learn basic comic book figure drawing and storytelling techniques. *Here's why it’s valuable:* • *Beginner Friendly:* How to Draw the Marvel Way uses a clear and engaging format that can be a great starting point for aspiring comic book artists, especially younger audiences. • *Solid Foundation:* The book teaches basic anatomy, proportions, and dynamic posing, which are essential skills for any comic book artist. • *Focus on Fun:* Learning through popular characters can be a fun and motivating way to develop an interest in drawing. You're right, Andrew Loomis and Bridgman are masters of figure drawing, and their books are fantastic resources for any artist who wants to delve deeper into anatomy and classical techniques. You can actually use How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way as a starter, then explore more in-depth resources like Loomis and Bridgman. Learn the basics through the Marvel book, then use the more advanced techniques from Loomis and Bridgman to refine your skills. There's no single "right" way to learn how to draw. And there’s no single “right” way to teach. Your videos are informative; however we are teaching two different things and two different ways. What matters most is finding resources and methods that work for you. Let's keep the conversation going! Let me know what you think!

Thank you! and thanks for watching! Great question! In the next video, I’ll be reviewing best practices for studying figure drawing with Andrew Loomis's "Figure Drawing: For All It's Worth" We'll break down some actionable steps to get the most out of this foundational book. In the meantime, here’s a couple tips! • *Focus on the Basics* : Loomis emphasizes foundational elements like form, proportion, and structure. Don't get intimidated by details at first. • *Break Down the Steps* : While the book isn't strictly step-by-step, Loomis often breaks figures down into simpler shapes. Try identifying these and use them as a guideline for constructing your own drawings. Let me know what you think!

Thanks Brad. I look forward to that next video. I’m going to review Loomis’ “Fun with a pencil” as I’ve seen it mentioned to check that one out first and then onto the figure drawing for all it’s worth.

@@carlhwilsonart rad! I’ve been meaning to pick that one up myself. If you haven’t already, you should jump on our Discord channel. Lemme know your thoughts on “Fun with a Pencil”!

Love to. New to Discord. What’s the tag or channel name?

Thanks for watching!!

I appreciate that! Even if you’re not huge into drawing sometimes small doodles can help eliminate stress and spark creativity. Thanks for tuning in!

Hey there! It doesn't necessarily matter which publisher you buy "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way" from, as long as it's a reputable seller. The content of the book should be the same regardless of the publisher (Simon & Schuster or Titan Books Ltd). The book was written by Stan Lee and John Buscema. As long as you get a version by these authors, the core content will be the same. "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way" is a licensed property of Marvel Comics. This means the core content has to be approved by Marvel, regardless of the publisher. Now there's another book titled "Stan Lee's How to Draw Comics" which provides an updated approach about comic book creation with multiple artists and I'll be providing an in depth book review and best practices for that one as well. Stay Tuned! Hope this helps! Let me know if you have any other questions!

It really is! It’s so helpful to study and find the proper cylinder/cone shape that is needed

Glad you liked it! Thanks for tuning in!

I'm so glad to hear it! Your work has progressed so much and I'm excited to see what you come up with!

I'm so glad you're excited about the second half of the video! I've been putting a lot of work into it, unlike my software! So it's awesome to hear you've been looking forward to it. You're absolutely right - it's important to remember that while "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way" is a fantastic resource, it's not about copying John Buscema or any other artist exactly. Instead, it's about learning the techniques and principles they use to create dynamic and expressive figures. I completely agree with your point about studying multiple artists. Exposing yourself to different styles and approaches will broaden your artistic vocabulary and help you develop your own unique voice. Keep practicing and experimenting! The more you explore, the more you'll discover what works for you and how you can make your own artistic mark. Keep up the RAD work Charlie!

Glad you enjoyed it! Thanks for watching!!

On it! "Figure Drawing for All It's Worth" by Andrew Loomis is definitely a dense and challenging book, but also a classic for a reason. I'd love to create a video series breaking down the key concepts and exercises. To make it as helpful as possible, could you tell me what specific aspects of the book you find most challenging? Are there any particular sections or techniques you'd like me to focus on? The more specific you can be, the better I can tailor the video series to your needs.

Thank you! The Hulk would definitely subscribe. He’s on the cover, after all!

I completely understand! Patience can be incredibly challenging, especially when you're working towards a goal. It's fantastic that you're focusing on the small successes, because those are the building blocks that lead to bigger achievements. Remember, building patience takes time and consistent effort. Keep celebrating your small wins, and you'll gradually find yourself developing more patience and resilience.

Glad you enjoyed it! What would you like to see?

Glad it helped! How has your studying been?

@@the_artistic_avenger everything goes great, I am still figuring out the ways to draw faster and make better proportions, I have a good practice now, I offer to draw portraits to the guests. Did one more portrait to our General Director she had an awesome reaction that summoned a sparkle of enthusiasm in me👍

@@SharmOst Thats awesome to hear! On our next Discord Sketch Session Sunday we can talk some best practices for drawing faster!

Hey there! If you’re drawing digitally, what are you using? I know on an iPad you can minimize the window to a corner of the screen. If not, then yes two screens might be ideal or traditionally instead.

@@the_artistic_avenger I’m currently using an XP display tablet to draw on, but I cannot use the tablet as a 2nd screen since I’m using only shared screen due to complications. And my pc doesn’t seem to support two monitors either.

@@jasonpark1987 most of the sites are mobile friendly, could you use your phone as a second screen?

@@the_artistic_avenger do you mean to use it as a screen for reference? I just recently upgraded my phone to iPhone 13, so I could try that.

@@jasonpark1987 yup! So you could prop your phone next to your monitor and let the timed references play on there! Let me know how that works out for ya. You’re also welcome to join our Discord community. Link in the channel description!

Hey there! First off, let me assure you that finding shapes hard to draw, especially as a beginner, is completely normal! Drawing may seem straightforward in theory, but mastering shapes and forms takes practice and patience. It's common for beginners to encounter challenges with shapes. That’s why it is critical to take the time to practice becoming more comfortable and confident before moving forward. When practicing try to eliminate the thought of perfection. Learn to be comfortable with sketching loose lines, then go back to define the shape. For example, when drawing a cylinder, your first oval might not be angled enough to match the rest of its body. But you then go back and draw it to match perspective. Remember, every artist starts somewhere, and it's all about enjoying the learning process and celebrating your progress along the way. If you ever need tips or encouragement with your drawing journey, feel free to reach out through our discord community! Link in channel description.

Maybe they arent hard to draw but rather not turning out what you want them to look like. Try getting a rock from outside and drawing it. Dont make it perfect because even if you mess up it will still look like a rock. Anyone who looks at the drawing wont know if you messed up or not. Plus it is a good way to get your mind out of copying a subject and to start using the subject as reference and allowing you to create from it.

This is an absolute gem of a tip! 🙌Thank you for sharing and being a supportive artist ally 🤝

Hey there! Great question! When it comes to following "How to Draw Comics the Marvel Way," it's all about finding your own pace and what works best for you. As for how long to stick with shapes, it really depends on your comfort level and how confident you feel with them. As mentioned in the best practices at the end of the video, I recommend spending 2 to 5 minutes each day warming up and practicing them or anything you don't feel quite comfortable with. Some artists find it helpful to spend a good amount of time mastering shapes before moving on, while others prefer to integrate shape practice throughout their learning process. I'll cover foreshortening exercises in the next video on chapters 7 - 12. I recommend practicing drawing the grids for perspective and placing shapes on those grids for the time being!

You literally cannot practice them enough. The level of complexity involved in drawing cubes, cylinders, and spheres is mind boggling. Here's what I'd say...if you even _ask_ that question, you don't understand them or what they're used for in drawing. Check out the "drawabox" course, it's great.
