Hey Ryan...youre a gifted guy . Im thinking, I have over 1000 comic concepts written out. it would be an awful lot easier for me if " YOU" just did my comic drawings for me . Only because im thinking It may take me another 50 years to catcb up to you :) Great stuff . Thanks :)
If you can convey the IDEA of hair, it will look like hair. The trick is to not try to draw hair. If you focus on the head shape, hair line, think of how the wind might move hair or not... draw the shapes you need, like Benjimin did... it starts to look like hair. Happy drawing!
When I started liking drawing a lot, I could only draw stick people, but I slowly got better by starting from top down. I would practice hair and eyes every day, many tines a day until I was satisfied with my progress, then I got the jawline down, and slowly worked down the body over time with one part at a time and adding that part into my full or partial drawings throughout. It's been over 10 years since I started teaching myself and I just got to feet last year. They're okay, but I'm still working on them. And I love seeing my progress. I draw as a hobby and to express myself, but I always get people telling me they wish they were this good. So I tell them they can be. I also tell everyone to keep their old stuff, because it may look bad now, but in the future you'll want to have that confirmation of how good you've gotten over time.

Some underestimate music's influence on creative flow. Something serene, like Windham Hill's Winter Solstice. Calming, wanna go eradicator, Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime. Dragonforce, "Through the fire and the flame.. Rage Against the Machine. Music and and visuals are like bread'n butter. I mean, there are more. Just depends on the mood. Enya, more solemn, but wanna rock things out, Motley Crue. Wanna just jam to whatever, Pink Floyd.
To each their own, but... kinda pans out. Aggressive expressions, aggressive music. "Bullet to the head." Techno, hack, Paul Van Dyk, or BT, Sandstorm. Punky, Deftones, These Arms are Snakes, mebbe throw in some enui. It's like a soundtrack to a mood of operation. Triumphant? Ack! Too many to mention offhand. Gotta nab your own feel for it. Black Sabbath for one aspect, Dream Academy for another. Go with your own weird.
I always admire artists that can just go straight into drawing like without having to measure or plan too much, I find they often incorporate so much more expression and character into their work. This guy is awesome, would love to see more by him.
@@jonathansoko1085 Dunno who told you that, but I wouldn’t listen to them anymore if I were you. You aren’t born with anything, people get good at things because they dedicate themselves to it. Most people who make this excuse just need to decide if they’re willing to put their full time and effort into doing the thing they want to do. It has nothing to do with your genetics.
When you look a lot of references like clothing and anatomy and draw them during decades and decades it is easier to draw from imagination I can do that because overtime my mind go to another places even before I'm drawing but also during the construction of the lines, they sometimes change I imagine the final product as I'm drawing it! And since I draw realistic anatomy I constantly correct the proportions! I think is time to draw more like Kim jung Gi like in different angles I always do it drontal but if you see objects and people in different angles it then becomes easier to draw in perspective!
@@conocido4416 No, you can't. You fail to get it. There are some things that people are born with. For instance, if i just take up drawing right now and dedicate years to it, i may get really really good, but il never touch alex ross. He was born with something i wasnt. You can not, ever, just learn 100% of a talent that someone else does.
@Bliss Okpu I mean, with the right #2 brush I can do it but ironically I am using the Jong-Ji brush pen now and I don't know how that guy does it. What kind of comics are you working on? Anything to look at yet?
@Bliss Okpu You should totally go for it. Don't be bothered by anything and just do it. I'm currently working on a comic book that I want to upload as a webtoon.
@Bliss Okpu That's great advice. I guess most people go the manga route for this exact reason. I definitely am going to attempt a more challenging realistic DC/noir look. But as you said that will be a challenge. As for your anatomy I can't tell you it isn't important but I personally believe if you have a great story to tell and just be creative you will without a doubt succeed.
Cool showcase! But how many students can actually "explode" a drawing onto the page as Ryan expertly does? That kind of intuition sounds great for speed, but it also seems to comes with a lot of experience. I seem to remember another instructor on this channel once saying "Your drawings are only as good as your ideas."
You’re right, experience like Ryan’s would allow you to draw like him. Ryan says to students at the start of the video “You need to draw everyday.” You got to start somewhere right?
You kind of have to for a monthly comic. It's kind of a sink or swim thing. Not meeting deadlines would have worse repercussions than a wonky panel or page. Inkers and colorists can also help elevate anything not up to snuff
These tips are actually helpful and inspiring. I'm so tired of the basic "use guidelines, draw light at first, etc" tips that everyone knows about. But this is addressing how to move the pencil, how to visualize and get the drawing to flow out naturally. Stuff I always forget
I totally understand what Ryan means by “feeling it” when I’m drawing and I get that movement going I ain’t thinking too much about what I need to do I just get in that groove and if there’s a line or a mark I ain’t digging then I adjust it but keep moving without too much thought. I also get having background noise. I don’t listen to music cause once I play a song I really like I start paying attention to the song more than my drawing. I pick up what he’s putting down! ...but I still suck at drawing lol
An interesting thing to take from this is how different approaches to art are still valid and can take you far if you persevere. He has a more instinctive take on art but i bet he wasn't always this good. When he says he "explodes" on the page, that's his years of practice and learning and drawing different things and mentalizing stuff speaking for him.
It's so true I always play background music or movies from the same genre as what I'm illustrating in order to bring out what's in my head. I'm in the process of creating my own comic book and I'm excited! Thank you for sharing!!! You're SUPER gifted!!!

I like Ryan's method of just putting what's on his mind on the page asap without thinking...that makes sense to me. I think I've tried that a cupla times before..with various results...sometimes good, another time, not so good. 😁
A lot of the times with creative work, especially when you've done the initial conception stage, is just execution, as Ryan says. You also have to bear in mind that he works in an industry that also greatly values quantity and speed. Overthinking your work makes you slow down, and you end up focusing on details that won't matter in the end. By listening to documentaries, you kind of occupy your brain to think and process that information instead of whatever you're drawing.
Yes! Me too! I hardly ever meet artists who do that too, they usually seem not convinced xD And it really helps me to stay focused on the art, I can't explain it any other way than: I give my brain a main task and a small background task to concentrate on so it doesn't look for any distractions :D
@@finn5fel same.....I had all of those issues....I may still have them Idk......lost half of my comic collection in 2017.....still don't know which half I lost
I love content like this. The eyes are very important. I know many people still struggle with hands, sometimes I do but at times my hand gets shakey. That is why I prefer drawing with pencil.
Thank you for this lesson! Approaching comics always seems so overwhelming for me because of the time constraints and just the sheer amount of drawing and thought process required. This is such a helpful way to make things more efficient and still keep quality.
I always assumed comic book artists did full-size single drawings, and then they were cropped and put in to the frames. I'm surprised to learn that they draw directly in to the frames.
A very important concept in comics is that too much detail is usually a bad idea. Every page usually has one image that takes focus, and that is the one with the most detail and complexity, As your figures get smaller, say, in a two shot or crowd scene in a smaller panel, it is more understandable if you draw more simple shapes than complex detail. Take a look at Walt Simonson's classic Thor run and you'll see a master at telling stories in sharp, large detail and small, blocky, rough shapes at the same time.
Thanks, Ryan. Im trying to start my own home studio. All my dalso life, people have told me how well I could draw, but I've never had formal training, so I've struggled with certain things like shadowing.

Good thing i'm studying the art of comic books. That's why i'm going to the comic book class this year's october in Havukoski, Vantaa. Thank you for an awesome tutorial video, Proko. 😺👍
What I would love to know is what does a comic artist do day to day, as an illustrator I get given briefs in text form, do they get given a script for scenes and then given the freedom to conceptualize the imagery or are there other artists feeding them drafts? How much drawing do they do in a day?
from what I know they usually have a script/story writer, the script goes to penciller for the sketch, then to inker, then to colorist, then to typesetter.
@@gamdanyunizar7849 I understand the process, that has been demonstrated and explained my many comic artists, but what I would love to see is what a day in the working life is like for a comic artist, are there brainstorm meetings, how much drawing do they have to do, are they given deadlines and multiple projects at once...like how much work is there really for the average commercial comic artist?
When I was young, I wanted to be a comic book artist. I can draw very well (so I am told), but could never quite get from point A to point B and be happy with the results. Lots of ideas but no method to get there. As such I drifted from the idea of becoming a comic book artist and became old. Decades later I find this video. WTH!? Why this never occurred to me I'll never know. Thanks!

That last technique/tip was an absolute eye opener. I struggle a lot with hair and I'm going to have to practise that everyday.

I agree. The tips on hair were VERY useful, and a bit different from what I've seen elsewhere.

Some underestimate music's influence on creative flow. Something serene, like Windham Hill's Winter Solstice. Calming, wanna go eradicator, Queensryche's Operation Mindcrime.

To each their own, but... kinda pans out. Aggressive expressions, aggressive music. "Bullet to the head." Techno, hack, Paul Van Dyk, or BT, Sandstorm.

Or just put a series of sci-fi trailers to inspire yourself and look for strong references!
The music one is true.

There are things some are born with. Anyone can learn to draw, but there are aspects of it that one can not learn. You have it or you don't.

Pretty please with a cherry on top, bring more comic book and manga artists to make more awesome videos like this!
You should watch the Manben series on youtube, very talented manga artist to see there
As an art student that loves comics, this is gold, more of him please!
He has a UA-cam channel
As not an art student that likes comics, this is gold
You can tell merely from the way Ryan moves his arm holding a pencil that he's a master level artist @_@
You can see the confidence in his lines and how he's not afraid of getting the paper or his hands dirty ! really like this video
This level of patience is amazing. I usually just go straight to the inking after that red pencil stage. Then again, I'm not getting paid so...

You’re right, experience like Ryan’s would allow you to draw like him. Ryan says to students at the start of the video “You need to draw everyday.” You got to start somewhere right?
It's just his own personal way of doing speed drawing, no? Proko has several videos on speed drawing aimed at beginners on his channel.
It's the way he used shapes. He sorta mushes different shapes together to form his objects.
You kind of have to for a monthly comic. It's kind of a sink or swim thing. Not meeting deadlines would have worse repercussions than a wonky panel or page. Inkers and colorists can also help elevate anything not up to snuff
Students who are serious. We're the ones who explode.

I think I've tried that a cupla times before..with various results...sometimes good, another time, not so good. 😁
Ryan: don’t think explode
Also Ryan: love to watch documentaries while I draw makes me think
I assume it makes him think about things that aren't what he's drawing haha
it actually makes a lot of sense, if youre thinking about the documentary you arent over analyzing your work and youre being intuitive
And you're also learning new things to draw inspiration from.
A lot of the times with creative work, especially when you've done the initial conception stage, is just execution, as Ryan says. You also have to bear in mind that he works in an industry that also greatly values quantity and speed.

2b has always been my favorite
I went to IFAC with Ryan and Brett Booth back in the 90s. It was some of the best times of my life. So much talent
