I love Alex's work. Thank you for doing these.
@@ADayintheLifeoftheTw No problem. Thank you for watching:)
Dude, you are ridiculously humble. Excellent work. I’ve been following you on instagram for years. Love your stuff.
@robbelmont5226 I really appreciate that. Thank you for those kind words and thank you for watching! 🙏
I have a book of Gil Elvgren, but hadn't heard of Al Parker and Victor Kalin before, so thanks for the introduction. I like that scratchy pen you used, too. Did you call it a mapping pen? Great video!
I love watching the process on how you draw but I was researching Alex Toth’s art and man is it really cool
@DAVEREVIEWS-MOVIES Thank you! Glad you checked out Toth's work, it really is incredible.
Eyy
Amazing to watch your process ❤❤❤
Glad you enjoyed it. Thank you for watching:)
Love how you've blended your unique style with the original image!
Thank you 🙏😊
the color theme are wonderful
Great video and drawing exercise idea! Thanks for the tips.
@@drawingcomics I'm glad you find it interesting. Thanks for watching!
This is great advice! I've done tons of studies of other artists and have learned from it every time. This is one of the best ways to learn.
@rec.artanddata Oh cool, I'm glad you also enjoy doing this study! It really is a great way to learn 👍
Typo in the thumbnail image! Hopefully an easy fix.
@@km_9 Doh! Thanks for letting me know! I'm testing a few different thumbnails, I'll get rid of that one 😂
Amazing work as always!! I love watching your art videos, they help so much!!
That's really awesome to hear. Thank you!
Is there a video on female anatomy I kinda suck in terms of that
@@DAVEREVIEWS-MOVIES I don't have one yet, but maybe some time in the future 👍
Haha, I just did some of these studies using YOUR work, trying to learn a bit more about inking. Big fan of how you incorporate all your influences into your style.
Wow, I'm flattered! Try not to pick up any of my bad habits 😂 Thanks for watching and thank you for the kind words 🙏
Gil has great stuff, I am curious do you live in the US? Is art your main source to make income? I think I saw your stuff in Jughead a few months ago, nice!
Yep, I live in the USA and I'm a full time artist 🇺🇲💪 That might have been me in Jughead, but it would have been from several years ago.
@ hmmmm. Did you do anything for free comic day?
Hello, what paint and ink did you use? Because i cant help but notice that the ink did not bleed through the paint. Also, great sketch! I dont know who she is but she looks amazing!
Witchblade :) RIP Michael Turner... one of the few author and artist that was actually creating something fresh even in the story telling... Fathom was such amazing piece to read...
@CharlineCaneton I agree. He was an excellent talent, and someone who really seemed to love way he did.
Witchblade. Nice!
@@MarkGoldfine You got it! Thank you 😊
You're hired!
@@MonicalovesMangoes 😊
Excellent video! For anyone looking for copies of "Rough Stuff," they are indeed out of print, but TwoMorrows Publishing still offers them for purchase in PDF format, from their online catalog. Each issue is a treasure trove of information, for the cost of a coffee and a bun :)
Thank you for this video. I’m a big fan of yours and I love your channel. I like to see other artists like John Byrne Or underground artist, Greg Irons
Thank you for watching! Perhaps I'll do a John Byrne video at some point, that could be cool. I've never heard of Greg Iron, I'll have to look him up...thanks for the suggestions!
I grew up reading Conan back in the old, old days when "Big" John Buscema was drawing it. He was an incredible talent. Amusingly, I saw him be interviewed at a comics convention in the late 90's and someone in the audience gushed about his work on Savage Sword of Conan when he was inked by Alfredo Alcala, and John replied deadpan, "yeah, I don't much care for it." I have a copy of an old booked called Art of John Buscema somewhere and he's pretty dismissive of superheroes and comics generally which is kind of funny considering what a master of the form he was.
It's awesome that you got to see him interviewed in person. I have also heard that he wasn't crazy about superheroes and drawing them. He was much more of a traditional illustrator at heart, I think. That's what made his work stand out. Many of the old timers from the comic industry weren't comic fans themselves, but rather artists who were just doing a job that happened to be consistent. I love that approach, actually.
@@thomaspitilliI was thinking about something similar the other day, too! This is, of course, a generalization, but it feels like a lot of pop culture medias have become somewhat “incestuous” in their style. I can’t remember where I heard that described that way, but it made a lot of sense. Generations of fans who grew up venerating a media becoming the artists can sometimes lack that taste of the OG illustrators who just happened to be doing comics because that was the demand. But I’m glad to see there’s still plenty of illustrators who celebrate more traditional illustration and keep that alive in their work nowadays.
John Buscema even got to a point where he did rough finals in ink, straight away. I believe that has a specific name but I can’t remember it. I love watching Thomas work, I can learn a lot about inking, and my tastes align pretty well.
Wow, what an incredible talent he was! And thank you for watching, I'm glad to hear you enjoy the videos.
Looking forward to Albert Uderzos process for asterix ..much needed .please
Thank you for the suggestion! However, I'm not all that family with that work at all. Perhaps that's something I should look into...
@thomaspitilli that's so considerate of you ..Uderzo was a french Belgian artist who worked on the famous series of Asterix . The artwork is quite expressive in cartoon style but the amount of detail and precision is amazing .that's why it makes me wonder about his process.
You can get digital copies from the publisher "Twomorrows Publishing" I bought several.
What a cool magazine. Really interesting to see everything from the stage direction to the panelling to the glorious scribbliness of it all. Buscema's compositions are just so dang pleasing. Also, that Spiderman ink is so good it makes me want to simultaneously continue art and give up. Put it in a museum.
A very cool resource, indeed! And yeah, haha, seeing work that strong can sometimes give you mixed feelings, I get it haha.
That was great, would love to see more of magazines!
Glad you liked it! I'm looking forward to sharing more from those magazines 👍
Great Video, thanks for sharing infos about that magazine, I‘ve Never heard of it previously. One thing about him inking the stuff he seemed to enjoy first: I read a take on this approach by Klaus Janson who didnt recommend working this way. He Said that, at the end of the comicbook the inker will be left only with stuff he hates or doesnt enjoy. Certainly true as for me lol
That's a good point haha. I guess it's different for every artist and also different for various kinds of pages, but generally, I think it's helpful to try and keep it as engaging as possible for yourself when working on a long project.
The video is good, but the music sucks man! Sounds like a smurf singing!
Okay I looked back at my comics and no it was John Byrne who did the Phoenix Saga💀 dang it but still John Buscema is still a good artist and he did work on some marvel
I just responded to your other comment. Didn't see this one yet haha. Yes, it was John Byrne!
John Buscema I think worked on X-men correct me if I’m wrong but if he did I think it was the Phoenix saga I’m most familiar with and I loved that X-men art and yes I would love to see more stuff like this
You might be thinking of John Byrne. Buscema worked on some Wolverine stuff, but not so much X-men, as far as I know. I love his take on Wolverine though!
Hey Thomas, thanks a lot for doing this video. This is very helpful for me 🙏💫
I'm happy to hear that! Thanks for watching and commenting:)
Great inking video Tom! I could watch this all day! It's such a coincidence that I've picked up some old Savage Sword of Conan issues recently and I've been studying Buscema!!
Ah, perfect timing! Thanks so much for watching and for the kind words, as always:)
Dang man keep up the amazing shit
I appreciate that. Thank you, I'll try! Haha
I can say I wasn’t in the camp of inking other peoples pencils, but after this video I really want to give it a try! Definitely seems like an good opportunity to learn from others work aside from just staring at it in agony haha
Awesome to hear! And yeah, I don't consider myself in that camp either, but sometimes working on top of another artist's work can help you learn something like inking more objectively, since you're not attached to the pencils in the same way you would be if they were yours. Have fun with it!
amazing
Thank you!
Well here's another great video! And your artwork is fantastic, as usual. This seems like a book to add to my "wish list" for sure. I was thinking it had some "How To Draw Comics The Marvel Way" vibes, along with HB toons (especially Toth & Wildley's design work,) Batman The Animated Series pre production art, & a dash of Fleischer's Superman cartoons. Which means... I dig it! He is definitely a living legend.
All very fitting comparisons! Yes, it's sort of a mix of all of that, which is what makes much of his work so great. It's definitely one worth picking up!
If you dont mind me asking, who are the artists that influence your style whennit comes to drawing women? It kind of reminds me of something from bruce timm and archie comics work. Your drawings are amazing btw❤
Thank you for the kind words. When it comes to drawing women, I'm influenced by many different artists, probably many of which I'm not even conscious of. Generally, I like the old fashioned, pinup approach to drawing women, so I love many of the mid century illustrators. As for comics, Bruce Timm, yes. But also John Romita, John Buscema, Alex Toth, Steve Rude, J Scott Campbell, and many more.
Good stuff as always I do learn a lot from your videos in different aspects so it’s great to see another video
I'm really glad to hear that, Dave. Thank you for watching!
NOW THAT IS A GLOWUP❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️❤️I love watching how a lead based drawing can look ten times better with the addition of ink.
Thank you!
@@thomaspitilli No than you for sharing your wonderful creations with the rest of us on youtube❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Wild and absolutely spectacular.😊
nice video. i d like to make a video on how we can maintain and clean a brush. would be very helpful
I'll keep that in mind. Thanks for the recommendation!
You know, its funny you mention shying away from planes. I didnt like drawing vehicles or hardware either. Then I realized things that I dont like to draw should be a natural indication of what I need to work on. For me too the moment came with planes and relevant to your video the work I looked at was Burma Skies by Toth. Very cool video as always!!
Very good mindset to have! And I'm glad there was some overlap with your reference and my video 👍
💙Get Rude. 🤙🤘
Check out Jed Herne
I totally love working with a maru (hard) mapping nip.
Great video, Tom. I'm a huge Toth fan as well. I got all 3 of these books and the artist's edition of Bravo For Adventure.
Hey Gabe! Thanks for watching :) And that's awesome that you have all three. This is the only one that I have. I've looked through all 3 of the original hardcover version (at the SVA library back in the day, actually!) and they are great books. I'm going to get the other 2 in softcover some time. Maybe even for future videos!
Most colorists ruin comic book art. Just few exceptions.
what size were you using for paper?
These are all at 8.5x11 :)
Do you lightbox your rough artwork to refine on a seperate sheet for the final one ?
Yep! Most of the time. You can see the first half of these were done that way.
@@thomaspitilli thanks
You always gotta light table, pro tip of the day!
