    @everythingfan9726 4 года назад +9

    I have to say Alex Ross is one of if not my favorite comic artist. I just love the hyper realistic look of his stuff, and the fact that he does it with paint is even crazier. But As far as art in general goes in this field (comics, tv, etc.) I’d have to say my favorite is Alex Toth, his work on those early Hanna-Barberra animated series were great. I loved watching re-runs of Superfriends and Herculoids when I was a kid, though I’m still quite young at only 20. 😅

    • @BrandonNielsen87
      @BrandonNielsen87 3 года назад

      I love Alex Ross. I have his books and his actual drawing he gave me for my birthday. He’s much better fit as a colorist and/or cover artist. His interior sequential work didn’t fit well for reading. His best work is Justice, in my opinion. His Kingdom Come book should be owned by every comic collector as novelty item, though. KC is such a beautiful project he’s ever done, but his Justice has more edge, more comic book-y look which is still much better.

    • @luismangiaterra1031
      @luismangiaterra1031 3 года назад +1

      Alex Toth is probably the best artist to ever work for American comics, should check out his earlier work.

    Gary Frank
    Tim Sale

    Jack Kirby
    Liam Sharp
    Mike Deodato
    Mike Allred
    Dale Eaglesham
    Esad Ribic
    Andrea Sorrentino

    George Perez is my #1. Wrightson, Starlin, early 80s era Byrne and Miller. Generally, I prefer a clean, well-defined art style rather than sketchy or scribbley.
    Sometimes that is heavily impacted by the inker.

    Some of my favorite artists are from the og classic guard 🔥🔥🔥 I fell in love with Jack Kirby's art from the jump same with Ditko, Romita Sr., Buscema, Colan you name it. From the reprints I read as a kid. Then as I dove deeper and explored other artists that I initially thought were crap which were Bryne, Simonson, Mcfarlane when I was a kid since I was so used to the classic silver age marvel art. But then as I got older I dived deep into their runs and enamored myself with all their work. So now I love all of these guys. Each of them bring something different to the table yet what they had in common was that it all looked awesome 🔥🔥🔥

    @colossalsunny4653 4 года назад

    When I was introduced to comics at age ten it was Jim Lee and Gregg Capullo. I was honored to meet them early on almost 20+ years ago and it partly inspired me enough to start my art career. I was so obsessed with drawing that I started to pick up bits of their style over the years. When I discovered the Conan comics I fell in love with the art by John Buscema and Barry Windsor-Smith. I also love Marc Silvestri's early work on Wolverine with Larry Hama. Too many to list! Enjoyed this video Omar!

    How to draw comics the marvel way and Conan always come to mind when I think of John Buscema. The way his heroes punch people out is iconic. John Buscema and Tom Palmer inks remind me of Avengers:)

  • @erictrue8248
    @erictrue8248 4 года назад +1

    Just an idea, but I think it would be really cool if you could give some recommendations of books where these artists shine, like you did with John Buscema on Conan. Also, 100% agree with a ton of these choices! Great list

    Batman Broken City was visually incredible. I think the thing Eduardo Risso does almost better than anyone: visual perspective. He always seems to chose the position of the “camera” perfectly, and from unique and interesting perspectives that other artists don’t. This also helps to highlight his amazing ability to have strongly defined silhouette geometry in his characters (Broken City has some of my all time favorite panels of Batman because of this). Really looking forward to the 100 Bullets omni.

  • @andreasesser4641
    @andreasesser4641 4 года назад +3

    This is a fantastic first Part of the list. I wholeheartedly agree that all of these artists are fantastic. From the European Comics Hermann Huppen deserves a mention. My guess is that Moebius will be in the Top 10. Of the more contemporary artists I like Simone Bianchi a lot, but he hasn't done enough to deserve being in the list. Other artists I really adore and might fit in 20-11 range are Wally Wood, Jim Steranko and Walter Simonson. Of course its all very subjective. But I do like your list a lot.

    @blytheguy7510 4 года назад +2

    You gave yourself a hard task of narrowing down 20 artists. That's a tough one. Bernie's black and white art is absolutely gorgeous. I heard forever ago that del Toro was going to direct a Frankenstein adaption. I'm sure he would have gone for Bernie's style, and feel that he may actually hand in a good adaption of the book. I've been mostly disappointed in Frankenstein films, love the book. But man, Risso is one hell of an artist. I remember it taking me a while to get used to his art. But once it clicks in place for you, it opens up. His shot composition is like a cinematographer. His art has a fluidity to it. His absolute blacks just ooze with style. I keep saying 100 Bullets would be an incredible crime show if HBO or Netflix would pick it up. I remember trying to cast parts in my head. Like Malcolm McDowell as Graves, Robert Redford as Shepherd, and Brad Pitt as Milo Garrett to name a few. Lol. Risso is a good story teller as well. Him and Azzarello really gel together as artist and writer. A lot of people can draw art, but a good comic book artist has to know how to draw a story. Way more challenging than a single image. But top 20 cover artists may be a future episode...

    I don’t really have the same emotional connection with artists that you seem to, but some of my favorites include Cooke, Mignola, Francavilla, Ba, Moon, Sakai and Guy Davis.
    I’m generally not very hard on artists generally. There are few that I dislike (or if there are, I don’t bother with their books so I don’t remember them).

    I was honestly expecting George Perez in the next video because you've talked so highly of him before. He's definitely up there for me. I'm excited for part 2! Will you be doing a list like this for writers? The story in a comic matters more to me than the art (just personal preference) and I would love to hear who your favorite writers are :)

I love all of them. Anyway, here's my list: 1) John Byrne 2) George Perez 3) Alan Davis 4)JH Williams III 5) Kevin Maguire 6) John Cassaday 7) Michael Lark 8) John Paul Leon 9) Brian Bolland (though wish he'd done more interiors) 10) Travis Charest 11) Mike Mignola 12) Barry Windsor-Smith 13) John Buscema 14) Jack Kirby 15) Ryan Sook 16) Bill Sienkiewicz 17) Alex Ross 18) John Totleben 19) Paul Smith 20) Walt Simonson.

    Great video, Omar. I’d love to see more countdown videos, or videos highlighting the art of comics. A few ideas to consider could be a focus on your favorite/top creative teams (either writer/artist(s), or artist/inker), favorite artists by era (golden to bronze age for one video, and modern/current era for another), favorite covers (this could be explored several ways either by publisher, artist, hero/team, etc), the importance of inkers and/or letterers (often unsung heroes of comics), etc; Keep up the awesome work.

As I'm going through my list of artist, sometimes I think damn, the inkers really don't get enough recognition. What would be Lee without Wiliams or Byrne without Austin? Regarless I will explore these ideas.

And I really like Sean Murphys blocky art style, it looks really good for the stories he does. (Punk Rock Jesus, Tokyo Ghost, The Wake, Joe the Barabarian, Batman:White Knight,etc.)

    I went to an exhibition of Frank Quitely’s artwork in Glasgow. I hadn’t read anything he’d drawn, but seeing his work displayed on the walls made me realise what it was like to properly appreciate comic art and all the fine detail that goes into making it. I went in not knowing a great deal about him, and by the time I left, I’d decided he was one of my favourite artists. Plus, he was actually there himself, although he was speaking to someone at the time.
    One thing that particularly stood out was a series of square panels created for We3. They depicted CCTV footage and were designed to be read in any order. Frank kept the squares in a raisin box, which his wife threw in the bin, thinking it was just a raisin box. Fortunately, he managed to get them back before the bins went out. They actually had the box there in a glass case at the exhibition. I was inspired to check out both We3 and Jupiter’s Legacy, both of which I enjoyed and would recommend. I’d check out New X-Men too if the paperback collections weren’t well out of print.
