“I’ve never sent a text” 👏
Alex Ross is even more my hero.
A true inspiration. 👌
Everyone who loves illustration NEEDS to go to Rockwell's museum. They're huge and stunning. One mind-blowing thing I noticed are the colour flecks he added to shadow areas. It mimics film grain..... like... what the??? He was a superb artist.
I know people like to pin him as a realist, but.... I don't know. He's a cartoonist that renders with a realism. I don't know how to put it. I used to think he was a realist, but once I became an animator, and learned more about his process... he's a cartoonist, through and through. He has an exaggeration of emotion and posing that is not in the photographs he'd use for reference.
Lets check this out!
I would suggest British artist Frank Hampson who created DAN DARE in the Eagle comic in the 1950's was someone who pioneered realism in comics. He built spaceships/ buildings and props for actors to use. Plus made sculptures of the alien characters. Much like Alex does today.
I bought your book Rough Justice and seeing all the pencil drawing being done flawlessly, made me start drawing seriously even though I was poor.
Thank you Alex Ross! You’re my biggest inspiration!
Same here.
@@wingitprod Nice to hear that and hope that your art journey will be well.
@@zedharith6695Struggling but I'll never give up. How is your art journey?
@@wingitprod Good to know, keep it up dude.
As for me, currently learning female anatomy and digital painting. It's harder than I thought but I think with patience, I'll be good at it. Having a schedule really helps especially being an adult. Who knows, might have a career in art.
The journey looking good for me. I hope it's doing good for you too.
you know we are a niche esoteric group of super nerds, when we can all sit around and discuss comic art and art in general. I love it, keep making these vids. I love the classics.

Alex. You're a great artist who always reminds us that we're connected to our past. You're the bridge that reminds us of the important things that people tend to forget and a lighthouse that illuminates the invisible. I'll always be grateful for the miracle of being born in the same time and hearing your story!!
🙄
GROOVY!!
Very interesting discussion. Glad to see this.
Alex is great. An inspiration on my artwork 👍🏻💯
Very excited for your newest poster book, The Marvel Heroes book was incredible.
Yes Kirby was always about power, action and story board story telling. I believe on the Marvel years Kirby Bio DVD. Frank Miller stated exactly that and he was dead on. even though his figures looked like action figure toys and his females were quite muscular looking. He had problems with females faces and even drawing Superman's chest S symbol. Basically two fishes faces each other or in opposite directions one above and one below.
You don't understand Kirby.
You're the Michelangelo/ DaVinci of our time, Alex. And although I've never been blessed with scoring a piece of original art by you,
I still have posters & prints, of your work, framed throughout my home. Thanks to you, the house looks fantastic ~ 😉

Alex
First of all you are legend and known worldwide ( Dubai and Morocco (
2. do you use your own facial features for male superheroes ? I noticed that most of the male characters look like you 🧐
parts of Excalibur had that exaggerated color palette that felt like old comics.
theres realsim. then thers photorealism. Photorealism is every little detail down the the last pore in the skin. im very much a realist. but i dont want to copy a photo.
Same for me. We talk about this more in part two of the interview.
@@clubgrubbug I’ll be watching it. And I’m glad you replied. Now if we can only get Alex Ross too lol
On the subject of stiffness... Alex uses photos of his friends in static poses. So I wonder if he ever used, or wanted to use film stills as reference for action scenes. And what he thinks of that.
I know he used movie stills for his some of his early b&w art for white wolf games.
Now I know I’m not being intentionally ignored by Mr. Ross 😂
It’s far as I’m concerned Alex Ross is a kryptonian. I find it remarkable that one of the interviewers was really impressed by Alex interpretation of Bruce Tim’s superman. If you look at it , yeah it’s Bruce’s superman but it’s also Alex’s as well. He’s got this uncanny ability to take a Mike Grell or a rob Leifield drawing and make them look solid, three-dimensional, and realistic, without changing the artists style in anyway. There was this Kirby, Captain America that he painted and it was a gay completely believable has a realistic painting
Can you do a video for DC's firestorm and blue beetle and review what you think of injustice storyline, it'd be nice to hear your views
I knew that he didn’t respond to comments or give likes on Instagram. But I wish he did. I would love to pic his brain
