Franklin Booth is the GOAT
I discovered this channel recently and oh my this is just amazing. I am a traditional illustrator for over 20 years and I really needed some boost of knowledge.
I'm flattered, thank you and welcome to our ink group :)
@@longstrideillustration thank YOU for taking the time and analyzing each stroke and style. This is the additional research and work that I often don't have enough time to do outside of my specific work. You are appreciated!

A Frazetta shading study would be really helpful.
Hi. Frazetta's had a feature not long ago, were there other masters you'd like to see for shading? ruclips.net/video/AyhezDt5a-U/видео.htmlsi=d4J2vycSimV9a40X
Ah, it comes around...here's me drawing a line from Doré to Wrightson and Cho, and it was Booth all along! What a great study.
I am always amazed and enchanted by his skies!
YT recommended your channel. Thank you! Immediately hit the subscribe button! I’ve been wanting to try wash and ink to add dimension to my watercolors. This is awesome! Learned so much just from 2 videos of yours.
Awesome! Thank you!
Thank you ,love from Turkiye ❤
Booth had my favorite clouds. I think one of my favorite artist you might enjoy doing a study of is Nicolas Delort.
I follow Nico on Instagram, I LOVE his art, so good.
❤❤❤❤ thank you for your teaching
Great analysis and art work. Thank you for introducing me the masters of pen and ink
I had wondered if some of his drawings use different shades of ink but it sounds like they probably don't, that's very interesting and thanks for sharing your thoughts and how you approach his techniques.
Hello! I've been watching a lot of your videos recently and have learned so much from them. Since I've been getting more and more into dip and brush pens, I was wondering if you'd make a video regarding line weight! Unless you've already made one, in which case apparently I'm blind haha. Thanks for reading.
Thanks for the suggestion! I mention line quality here and there but have yet to dedicate a video on this topic. I'm happy you're enjoying the channel and inking along with me.
Thank you so much for the insightful analysis and exercises! please keep the series going💛
Wow, I hadn't heard of this artist before ☺️, but I'm absolutely mesmerised by his technique and compositions. Thank you so much for the tips and I really like your studies as well. 😊
Glad you enjoyed it!😀
You can see a bit of Booth in Frazetta's inks, too. Thank you so much!
Great video, your art studies came out gorgeous as well
Thank you so much!
This video is just perfect, thank you so much!
Another great one. You inspire me to improve as an amateur and look at art I love to see why I love it and what I can learn from it
Great to hear!
I love your videos, sharing your studies and observations are so helpful.
Glad you like them!
this is so good, what a stunning study ☺☺
Glad you think so!😀
This is top notch content I really wish you make longer videos I'd watch hours from you
Thank you, glad that you're enjoying them. I plan on making longer videos in the Fall/Winter. Summer is too busy to spend hours at the computer editing. I do have a course available, here is the Trailer for it (find course links in the trailer description): ruclips.net/video/YJpcUNe2PGg/видео.html
Thank you for your work and inspiration which you give
yaaho! dedicated video to master franklin booth🙌
It was long overdue 😀
@@longstrideillustration 😄😄
Some of the volumes in his drawings almost look like they're moving or vibrating.
Thank you for another great video in the series.
I have most of the books you reference and I really enjoy taking another look at them after watching your analysis. Ne t on my bookshelf i have Mike Mignola and Jim Woodring 🤞🤞
Glad that you enjoy the books! Mignola is on the list for a feature this year for sure!
Speaking of comics, check the album The Tower from the series Obscure Cities with drawings by Francois Schuiten (and also a magnificent story by Benoit Peeters).
Oh thank you! I just checked and my library has it. Can't wait to have a closer look!
You are amazing
I appreciate that, thanks you :)
Amazing

Muchas gracias por los videos, es muy interesante ver lo profundo que puede llegar a ser las tecnicas con tinta y linea
Oh wow❤
WOW i am just absorbing so much from your channel. it’s truly inspirational as a fellow ink artist. thank you, again, for showing me a new artist 🎨
i love your work
Dear, Chloe, finding your channel has been a blessing. I'm a beginner in the medium, and I really like your teaching style. Do you have a course on how to draw in this medium? I am using fineliners and watercolours, but I am having a very hard time to create line weight variation with these fineliners. Do you know where or how can I find a course to improve my technique with fineliners? Thanks so much for your videos.
Glad you're enjoying the videos. I do happen to have a course that launched about 1 month ago available on both Udemy and Skillshare. Although the focus is on using dip pens, I also demonstrate how to reach similar effects using fine liner pens. Majority of the students who have submitted projects so far have used alternative tools to dip pens and still found the lessons quite valuable, giving 5-star reviews. You can watch the trailer here and find links in the description text for the courses: ruclips.net/video/YJpcUNe2PGg/видео.html
@@longstrideillustration Thank you so much! I would definitely check it out! I'd love if, one day, you did a course only on fine liners or ballpens. I live in Colombia, and getting good materials here is difficult and expensive.
I really enjoyed this video. Can you please do Arthur Rackham? :)
Arthur Rackham is lovely and on my list. Thank you for the suggestion.
I notice that you hold your dip pen at an angle to create a more constant, thicker line than just pressing down harder. Is that a technique you would recommend for thick lines with that type of tool?
It's best to hold dip pens at a 25-30 degree angle for the tines of the nib to hold the ink and work properly (and avoid leaks). I talk more about holding positions in my videos and more in my course (links in description). Dip pens allow for a broad range of line width by varying the pressure. If you're interested in choosing the right dip pen for your style this article might be helpful: longstrideillustration.com/best-dip-pens-for-drawing/
I thought I could be patient in my drawing and painting, but this would drive me insane.
What kind of a pen are you using? It seems like the ink really flows easily.❤
In that video I use several instruments for inking. You'll find the complete list in the video description with (affiliate) links. To find the right dip pen for your drawing style, visit my blog: longstrideillustration.com/best-dip-pens-for-drawing/
I love to see joseph clement coll video his pictures very hard to find
Coll died at the young age of 40 and so had less time to publish than the other illustrators of his time. I'm actually working on a script right now for the great-3 (Coll/Flagg/Gibson).
I think Booth draw with pen and ink on scratchboard. This is what you can see in the darker areas where the white lines are predominant over the black ones🤔
"Booth built up his white-line tones, section by section with pen and black ink alone, while other artists of his time worked on scratchboard" is what is quoted in the Treasury of American Illustrators.
Good video. I have two questions: can a pen and ink drawer not draw lines at all at something he wants the value to be light (let's say he imagines the suit at 2:59 of the dude to be lime green)? Second question: can such a drawer use a different color ink like different tones of grey for values? How would that look like, using the same principles of lining and hatching that is done with black ink (but this time with different colors of inks)?
Hmm, I'll do my best to answer this. I'm not as familiar with using colour, however the same principles apply (lighting, shading, tone, values) - for example, the primary colours hold the same 'value' number and it is by mixing them that the tone/hue changes. And so by mastering greyscale is how colourists excel. I made a couple of videos on how to translate nature or a colour painting into blackwork: ruclips.net/video/T5L3w-QaFIg/видео.htmlsi=HCL7HhKXoqKa76LF
@@longstrideillustration Thx for commenting longstride!
Looks like he may have done scratchboard too……love peeping into other peoples sketchbooks, thanks.
Can you talk about subject matter? ❤❤❤
Hi, I'm not sure I understand the request. You'd like a video about how to chose a subject for drawing with ink?
@@longstrideillustration Exactly
Also Alfredo Alcala was heavily influenced by Booth
Definitely, Alcala's comic book work is amazing!
do u think he used any rulers or ant instrument to get such long straight lines i think its soo hard to get such long parallel lines
I don't think so, it's hard indeed, but it's possible to get long, straight and parallel lines with some practice. Our body can perform "miracles" after a good training. You can see an example of these long lines in one of my videos.
There are a few warmup exercises that help with this, also moving from the shoulder and elbow rather than wrist and fingers. More ideas for training on my blog, longstrideillustration.com/directly-to-ink-drawing-exercises/ and on @RogerioLupoArteCientifica 's channel.
I practice alot i can do some long lines decently but there are too many lines so I had a doubt , probably he took some breaks in between to do such lines
What you think about ballpoint pens?
I think ballpoint as an inking tool can do a lot, like great mid-tones and gradations. My only concern would be the quality of the ink for preserving longevity of an original. Do you know of ballpoint brands that carry ballpoints with archival ink?
@@longstrideillustration Unfortunately i don't know. I use a BIC ballpoint pen. Even the drawings that i made some years ago still looks fine, but it's hard to perserve.
And thank you for aswer me, i really like your videos. If you are interest, there's a really good ballpoint pen artist called Joaquín Rodríguez. The following link is one of his drawings.
ruclips.net/video/CRAj096dyx0/видео.html
@@longstrideillustration Unfortunately, i don't know. I use a BIC ballpoint pen, it has a good logevity, but only if you keep the drawings really safe; otherwise, they'll be ruined really fast.
I think this is the biggest flaw about ballpoint pens.
Roy Krenkel was heavily influenced by Booth... Mark Schultz also comes to mind...
For me no one matches the beauty of Booths line calligraphy …….I seem to remember that he also used the scratch board technique for getting those thin white lines out of solid blacks. Another artist who emulated his style is comic artist Alfredo Alcala. As much as I adore Bernie Wrightons work, Booth and Joseph Clement Coll, for me, are the tops when it comes to black and white ink work.

Awesome! Thanks for letting me know 😀
nice work but your lines are too thick.
Depends how you look at it, lines are relative.
i love your work
