Jim Lee drawing process: 1. Begin a sketch 2. Make a sketch that looks amazing already 3. Draw the entire thing like it's nothing Yup... just gonna go back to my 5+ hour drawing of Bruce Wayne that doesn't come close to that 3 minute sketch.
Crispin Dry true but you wanna challenge yourself. I draw over 10 hours a day and I love it so much. If you’re not ready to dedicate yourself to become an artist like Jim Lee, then art is not for you. The only reason Jim became this good is not because he was a prodigy or anything. It’s because he practiced 10 to 15 hours a day! So if you want to become this good, you need dedication. You do have a point but to get the rewarding results, it won’t always be pleasurable and rewarding. It’s gonna be tough. You’re gonna need to try and push yourself (not too much) if you really want to become as good as Jim and literally become one of the best comic book artists if not the best comic book artist in history. If you wanna draw for fun, then sure. But if you want to really reach Jim’s level, you need to train hard and sometimes it won’t be pleasurable. Sorry for the long paragraph. I just had to prove a point. Anyway, have a great day! :)
@@crispindry2815 I disagree. Discipline is very necessary to achieve even a modicum of proficiency as a draughtsman. And if you are an aspiring comic book artist long days are simply what it takes. If you are a hobbyist fine, but any young aspiring artist who wants to make it their profession needs to realise that work ethic, not talent, is absolutely key. Only those that enjoy the process you describe as torture generally make it. I would say a minimum of four hours a day for at least a year (or it’s equivalent) is necessary, and you have to constantly practice, because it’s not like riding a bike.
step by step to the Lines and good visual Follow up te make a good illustration,Charcters are just ONE not many its a style makes different movements and gives energy depends what you like to Achieve ,great Job JIm ,Congrats @
the sad thing about these sketches that he was placing in peoples bags is that some of the people don't even know who Jim Lee is, at SDC C14I was having lunch when a guy said "hey what's this did you buy this?" and I said to him wow you got a Jim Lee sketch he said " who's jim lee"? He was kind enough to give me the sketch but man I know most people don't read comic books but they gotta watch out for people who don't know who comic book artists are.
It's driving interest getting sombody to know jim lee and perhaps buy a comics book out of curiosity is what it's meant for. Even if it does not end up into your best fan backpack it still will and make your day a bit better
Again, I don't see it happening due to Jim Lee being one of the head of DC. I start to notice Marvel and DC they like to keep their specific awesome artist like tide nip with a long contract. If not, I would love to see Greg Capullo's run on Spiderman at somepoint, and again I don't see it happening!! Greg even admitted in a interview where he wanted to work on his side project series, but he cant due to working for DC he can not work on anything unless its Batman.
I'm about 90% certain that Spiderman appeared in an early issue or two of Punisher War Journal back in the 90s when Lee was doing the art. You could check that out
FOR EVERYONE WONDERING: Hawkman's emblem is facing HAWKMAN'S RIGHT, not Jim's. It should look like its facing the to the left from the artist's perspective.
As an artist, I reflexively cringed seeing him pour all that ink on batman's head, but the way he finessed it had me awestruck. Jim Lee masterfully makes it all look so easy.. Inspiring!
Weird how an artist known mainly for drawing superheroes would draw some random billionaire guy, not that I don't like variation but what the heel is the connection between rich boy Brucey and a superhero?
That makes so much more sense now! As if I was blind this whole time! I bet his butler Alfie or whatever his name is is probably some sort of superhero too! +Hafidz Murshidie
I never would have known, so while Aquaman is off fighting the Green lantern, Black manta who's actually Alfred takes on Superman? This is even deeper than I first thought+Hafidz Murshidie
Can a hero please tell me what kind of materials does Jim use? Like, pencil, OK, but what pencil? What kind? What brand? Size of stroke, etc. I'm completely ignorant and I need the "for dumnies" version xD Sorry and thank you!
the god of comic book aesthetics
Sure! ;)
That's just awesome how he freaking ninja's sketches into peoples bags XD I love it!!
Hey faries,I'm surprised to see you here.Im subscribed to you.
I'm everywhere! *hides in the shadows*

THE TRUTH
LOL. I know right
Practice without stopping, challenge yourself to draw from 5 to 12 hours in order to develop your style don't stop whatever you do don't stop

He makes it looks so freakin' easy. Jim Lee is the best!
Thanks for the upload ~
the guy's a true artist it would take me like 2 weeks to draw something like that. he did 2 inless than 15 minutes...
hes awesome
Wow I love how he did Hawkman! I never saw him draw the character. Great to see something new!
that would be awesome to find a Jim Lee sketch in your bag or in your hotel room. lol
Thanks a lot for these videos VZA. Learning straight from the masters feels great. Keep these videos coming. :)
An awesome dude none the less
This is why Jim Lee is a legend.
I always pop up your channel to get those drawing juices going, always inspiring!
Jim Lee is the man!! one of the best, and my favorite one.... a true inspiration for me to improve as an artist :D
That skill though, fucking hell just amazing. I love this guy's work.
Another solid upload, thanks Vic. I can never attend SDCC as I live in Aus so your vids are always appreciated.

pepOnshow
Zciuky
He is the best he has taken old school from Jack Kirby and just does the best of any superheroes from x-men to jla
That hawkman was incredible and so quick
Frikkin love Jim like that inking tho I’m struggling my head off tryna learn inks and there’s him just like WOW I love this dude
I just love this guy.
I would love to see Jim Lee do his own spin on Spiderman!!
Again, I don't see it happening due to Jim Lee being one of the head of DC. I start to notice Marvel and DC they like to keep their specific awesome artist like tide nip with a long contract.

peopl1 greg capullo has done spiderman?
Amazing talent!
Jim Lee fan here since 91'
I think that's the year I became a fan as well.
2017 ....🤔

Great upload, big thanks for this !
With the Copic markers is faster and it dosent smell that bad like the ink...:) :) Stunning work the best ..!
OMG this guy is god...
Weird how an artist known mainly for drawing superheroes would draw some random billionaire guy, not that I don't like variation but what the heel is the connection between rich boy Brucey and a superhero?
Don't you know... Man this guy is dumb... Bruce Wayne is Green Lantern... It's been on paper here in Metropolis for months...
That makes so much more sense now! As if I was blind this whole time! I bet his butler Alfie or whatever his name is is probably some sort of superhero too! +Hafidz Murshidie
Emohawk707 He's actually the arch nemesis for Superman if you must know... He's the Black Manta..
I never would have known, so while Aquaman is off fighting the Green lantern, Black manta who's actually Alfred takes on Superman? This is even deeper than I first thought+Hafidz Murshidie
Pff Hahaha.. Ok.. Let's stop here... Oh gosh... This is more fun than I thought...
Can a hero please tell me what kind of materials does Jim use? Like, pencil, OK, but what pencil? What kind? What brand? Size of stroke, etc. I'm completely ignorant and I need the "for dumnies" version xD Sorry and thank you!
I created a FAQ for that. Check it out... vzaage.blogspot.com/2014/04/whatpen.html
This is the 'FIRST' I've seen him use a Staedtler pencil. And not just some pencil, its a mechanical pencil for drafting.
Jim is freakin awesome
Another great vid! Did you get anymore artists from this years SDCC?
He does it so quickly
Haha, he sounds like Jack Black.
Okay but did anyone notice that Hawkman's logo actually did face the other way? That guy actually WAS incorrect.
Yeah, but it's no big deal...
BECAUSE HE'S JIM LEE!!!!!
=D
I was there!
Best artist with Alex Ross

"Not as tight as something you'll see in the comics"... produce a better drawing than what we can see in half of the comics published.
