If you try to break it down what Jim does, this is what I think IMO: Step 1 - Gesture drawing (0:03) Step 2 - Shapes and Contours (0:12) Step 3 - Spot your blacks (0:45) Step 4 - Add Shading (1:27) Step 5 - Fine tune the image (1:56) Step 6 - Sign the artwork and thank the fan. Get your commission money - (probably that was before, I dunno). (3:08)
***** Really? Where I'm from, the comic con artists ask for $20 a drawing. Neal Adams charges $150 for one drawing and that's too much. This guy's one lucky dude to get a Jim Lee sketch for free.
Avik Bara Yeah, probably that's the case. Its impossible that such a talented artist would go on a convention 'for free' if you know what I mean. If you were in Jim's case, I wouldn't do a Comic Con meet n' greet if I'll go there just to do a service.
***** In your experience going to conventions, how much would the minimum be for most artists that charge as commission? Let's say Alex Ross for example, if he chose to do 'on the spot artwork,' would his popularity and his art be a factor if he chooses to charge let's say $200-300 a piece?
I saw Jim Lee at Comic Con he talked to me asking about something (since I was working security for some exit halls) I forgot who he was but recognized him, lol
***** Was this at a special VIP signing? I also went to Amazing Comiccon today in Houston and the lines were so crazy even for VIP it was assembly line signatures only.
Jim Lee. The man who dares to shade with a Sharpie
That's so amazing, he drew one of my favorite superheroes since childhood, Batman (voiced by Kevin Conroy).

kigawman Maybe he gets paid by the convention people.. BUT still wow these guys do so many sketches and each one is superb looking. Hats off!

How much would that be for an artist? $20? $30? Last time Chris Claremont (Writer, Uncanny X-Men) came to my town, he ask $5 per signature.

I thought he no longer did free sketches, how did he manage this?
***** Was this at a special VIP signing? I also went to Amazing Comiccon today in Houston and the lines were so crazy even for VIP it was assembly line signatures only.
***** Were you in the VIP line, or in front of the line? Was there a lot of people behind you? Anyone else you know got sketches?
Cool, master.
you're back!! hooray!!
do you people have any guide for the human anatomy or something, I always forget how a person can be shaped "realistically" speaking
Great
I hope Sharpie comps Jim his pens.
Top Shelf!

Sorry I'm replying to this late, but the pen he uses is a Pigma Micron 05.
