And he respected Lee’s attitude towards his own work and others, Stan knew he was looking at the future with all these guys. I think he really did like Leifeld and McFarlane, but did not feel respect returned from them. Jim is and has always been such a nice and passionate creator and I’m so glad DC is in his hands.
Larry - I've been out of the game for some time now but for me, Jim Lee will ALWAYS be associated with the 90's and with X-Men and certainly Punisher War Journal. No offense to his Image or DC days, but just saying that in my mind he was pretty a great penciler before he got to DC.
@@leemathew4861 I'm not disagreeing with you; I'm merely stating that I'm old enough to remember him from his X-Men and PWJ days. And at that time I thought he was pretty darn good already!
Well you have to understand that while Superman IS iconic and his own unique character in his own right, Superman IS the base archetypical of all Superhero models so people will usually draw superman by default for a traditional superhero basis for a generic superhero character if they just wanted to draw in or make an example of one!
when Jim says he's afraid to wake up and think he's forgotten how to draw because he/you don't know why or how you can draw better than the next guy that is the perfect reflection of my fears. I thought for the longest time it was just me but to hear one of my comic idols say the same thing is refreshing and reassuring
That's why he's one of the best artists in the history of comics. When the seven artists left Marvel in 1992 to form Image Comics, Jim Lee was easily the best artist out of the entire bunch. I can't remember who said it but I think it was Todd McFarlane, Rob Liefeld or Marc Silvestri who even admitted as much in an interview.
Not trying to burst your bubble cuz it could have double meanings for him (I'm aware it looks like a Malcolm X-type hat from the 90's) but at the time he was drawing X-men comics. They showcase this in Part 1 so I think that is the main (or another) meaning....
@@teiadam134 it was also said that professor x was more a MLK and magneto was like malcolm x, the two opposite ends of a spectrum that had a similar goal
Jim is such a fantastic teacher. He helped me improve so much in just a couple months from a couple of tutorials. Just absolutely amazing, and Stan is an absolute angel. I'm so glad I found these videos.
Lol NOT even close. Just stop with your nonsense say you’re just badly discrediting all the amazing and phenomenal Marvel Artists that work nowadays. His sketches are gorgeous and fantastically gorgeous to see but there are NUMEROUS marvel artists that work on comics nowadays that have far surpassed simple sketches and draw out a VALLEY of phenomenal artwork to see and gaze upon to tell fantastic stories in marvel comics that you’re not seeing right now. It’s sickening that you’re saying all of this ridiculous nonsense here because absolutely NOTHING you’ve said here makes any sense at all. Just step down. It’s baffling on how whiny a lot of people complain nonstop. Just stop talking with your hate nonsense as the finished art in comics for Marvel is 99% of the time PHENOMENAL art all the time.
@@mr.jultra4720 The ACTUAL “sAd pArT” here is that you’re completely wrong and you don’t realize on how wrong you two truly are here.

"because really you don't know why you can draw better than the next guy" while that is in some way true, Jim Lee has also said before as a kid he would draw for 12 hours a day to the point he got a pinched nerve in his neck from slouching over. That is why you can draw better than the next guy lol :)
That's funny! Stan worrying about the drawing, looking like the competitions Superman. When there's a big ass picture of Plastic-man, over his shoulder, in the corner..!😂😂
When you have the man himself Stan Lee saying after you sign that piece it’s mines then you know you made it. For a legend to give you the biggest props to want your quick sketch man
Great video, just found this gem. While many may consider Stan to be slight irritating, keep in mind he’s talking to the viewers so they understand what’s going on. This is classic and RIP Stan. Glad to see Jim where he is today, talented artist.
It's interesting how Stan Lee totally respects and admires Jim Lee's skills and knowledge in this video, but when he does the same series with Rob Liefeld and Todd McFarlane, he totally trolls them the whole time and obviously has no respect for them.
This VHS tape was made in 1992. Rob's and Todd's VHS tapes were made around 1991. Pre-image to early image time. According to SyFy's documentary on Image Comics, Rob and Todd were the rebels and the troublemakers whereas Jim was a saint. I imagine this may be the reason why Stan treats them a bit differently. Wikipedia About the VHS tapes: en.wikipedia.org/wiki/The_Comic_Book_Greats SyFy's Video: ua-cam.com/video/c9a1XSyjjNg/v-deo.html
I like how you have Jim and Stan talking about anatomy around 4:50, and in the background you have a giant poster full of Rob Liefeld's monstrosities, lol.
I have to wonder about where the relationship between these two was when they filmed this. People commenting forget this was about the time Jim Lee has well has every top artist left Marvel to create Image Comics. This was huge and I have to wonder if this film series was an attempt to give credit to the artistic talent at Marvel.
Thanks for posting these, i always wanted to get these videos when they first came out, and I would have, but I didn’t do mail order at the time, maybe I didn’t have a checking account. I don’t know.
The real question I have is, if he wasn’t actually using the entire page, but actually breaking the page down to smaller panels how would he be able to draw big enough to get the details of each character and the background but also small enough so that it fits within the panel dedicated to that scene?
I've read seen and heard of that information that Jim Lee was going to enter a career in medicine but he don't know any other parts of the arm or he doesn't know any Anatomy names of the body that strange but that aside he's a fantastic artist
Has anyone else noticed the similarities between the Beatles and the 4 main Image founders, the way they are & each of their personalities? Todd McFarlane (John Lennon); Jim Lee (Paul McCartney); Mark Silvestri (George Harrison); Rob Liefeld (Ringo Starr).
I googled George brietman expecting an artist. and got a bunch of Malcolm x info instead. It was George bridgman that was the artist. Tad ironic considering his hat.
I read Jim Lee was inspired by Frank Miller, and Miller was inspired by Neal Adams. And maybe Adams was inspired by Kirby. One after the other, great artists in different eras.
You can see Stan was genuily amazed with Jim's work.
Yup. You watch this, then watch him take the piss out of McFarlane and Liefeld, it's evident that Stan truly appreciates Jim's work.
He absolutely does and should, Lee is incredible
And he respected Lee’s attitude towards his own work and others, Stan knew he was looking at the future with all these guys.
I think he really did like Leifeld and McFarlane, but did not feel respect returned from them.
Jim is and has always been such a nice and passionate creator and I’m so glad DC is in his hands.
@@TimCrocker94 Jim lee currently ruining dc
@@JHernandez what, he respected them, too.
Foreshadowing of his future career....starts drawing Superman without realizing it.
Larry Williams I thought the same thing lol
Larry - I've been out of the game for some time now but for me, Jim Lee will ALWAYS be associated with the 90's and with X-Men and certainly Punisher War Journal. No offense to his Image or DC days, but just saying that in my mind he was pretty a great penciler before he got to DC.
@@carlh8596 lol he is better when he start with batman look at his rendering and the originality in his drawing.

You can tell that Stan likes Jim because he made sure that Jim knew he was joking about him not wanting to think.
Yeah a lot of mutual respect between these two

Joey Vellestra Same
Joey Vellestra me as a musician 😂😭
same
It gives me inspiration to get back into my artwork I've been in a slump lately
This guy makes drawing look easy.
Trust me, it's harder then it looks.
Claudio Macari Amen brother 🙏🏻
SimpsonSouthPark Fan Amen
Claudio Macari than
Not with years and years of practice and experience.
How fast he is... I thought I was fast... yeaaaah riiight
He draws so effortlessly!
Master at work. Everyone should feel inspired!
That's why he's one of the best artists in the history of comics. When the seven artists left Marvel in 1992 to form Image Comics, Jim Lee was easily the best artist out of the entire bunch. I can't remember who said it but I think it was Todd McFarlane, Rob Liefeld or Marc Silvestri who even admitted as much in an interview.
Jim does a semi regular twitch stream and posts tons of videos. A true representative for the art form.
R.I.P Stan Lee.
From Marvel to Image to Wildstorm to DC comics! Jim has drawn all of them! Wow! I'm still a 90s X-Men and Gen 13 fan!
Gen 13 ugh
Not a fan of Campells art
one of the good artist of all time. So thank you for one of the good artist of all time. So thank you for
thats one thing i like bout stan lee he is always amazed ... i see that as a humble man.
This is a lot harder than it looks people this is top tier Drawing Jim Lee is the myth , man and legend ❤️
12:55 That moment when you're drawing for Stan Lee and accidentally draw Superman. LOL
Stan wouldn't care
@@docsavage8640 He really wouldn’t at all but it’s just interesting to see and someone pointed it all out! That’s it’s all and that’s all they meant!
Jim Lee with the Malcom X hat? NICE!

The x men series is a giant metaphor for the civil rights movement in the 60s so theres a lot of malcom x references in the series.
@@teiadam134 it was also said that professor x was more a MLK and magneto was like malcolm x, the two opposite ends of a spectrum that had a similar goal
He's a LEE... lol shout out to Spike Lee! Two legends!
@@Redicholas maybe, but I doubt it, Lee wasn't with Marvel anymore at this point, I think they had just started Image Comics around this time.
Greatest comic book/ comic book character creator (Stan) and drawer (Jim) of all time
There are many who are better.
except stan didn't create the majority of his most iconic characters
12:56 “He’s getting close to looking like someone…”
Stan: “I know”
😂😂😂
Oh dear god, even back then he used a sharpie and doesn’t mess up a single drawing with it!! Only he’s gained a few wrinkles since then!
Jim is such a fantastic teacher. He helped me improve so much in just a couple months from a couple of tutorials.
Just absolutely amazing, and Stan is an absolute angel. I'm so glad I found these videos.
Xiaxs I’ll probably start watching his tutorials as well
Jim Seriuosly makes it look so easy. He's really that good.
That arm drawing thecnique has helped me very much
This makes me really miss Stan lee
Jim Lee's amazing art is way ahead of it's time!
first thing that appeared on youtube for me.... RIP Stan Lee
Who knew Jim was so gangster.
90's comic book nerd Stan Lee has to be the healthiest old person I know. excelsior
WAS the healthiest old person we knew........... excelsior...... DAMMIT!!!
Stan Lee.......RIP. Yo Jim! Thank you for X-Men early 90's!
His warm ups sketch looks better than my finished product
Damn, Jim Lee is freaking genius!
"you are lucky i'm sitting here so you have sort of a model"
top comedy hahahah
This is like grandpa watching you draw, when your an artist
He so nervous and it's cute.
I can feel the years and effort he put in to get that good.
The art is what attracts me to a comic it is visually appealing to the eye
I’m still impressed by Jim Lee in 2019
Stan Lee i miss you
Amazing how easy HE makes it look. Thanks Mr Lee you have helped me more than I can say. WOW is my only word.

We all want to have that sheet of paper with his sketches.
That's funny! Stan worrying about the drawing, looking like the competitions Superman. When there's a big ass picture of Plastic-man, over his shoulder, in the corner..!😂😂
Love that moment "Oh hes starting to look like someone" "I see that". Jim starting to sweat
Jim Lee drawing Superman way before he started working for DC comics!
This is awesome to see!!
The way he threw out that eye on the page in like 3 seconds just is.. geez man lol
He's a drawing machine
This is amazing
“I hope I can think of something” Stan proceeds to give a detailed lay out Hes put some thought into. 😂
His technic of drawings is crazy the way he use the light pencil
Rip stan lee true legend
Jim Lee is a god to me 😍

When Stan Lee interviewed Todd like this, you see the same respect
I actually completely disagree. I think he had a playful banter with Todd and Rob, whereas I feel Stan was acting somewhat contemptuous with Jim.
He was just joking with them, of course he respects them. The dude made spawn and venom lmao.
Two legends.
Even back then jim lee was born to draw Superman. I nearly geeked out lol
I like how you have Jim and Stan talking about anatomy around 4:50, and in the background you have a giant poster full of Rob Liefeld's monstrosities, lol.
Effortless, this is amazing!
Jim Lee's amazing.

What a hero
This is just nice
Dam jim was great even when he was young.
When artists where still seen at artists, trained experts in the field, and not just a workforce to do a task
Jim's got talent all right.
I wonder who use to watch this when it first came out.
JIM LEE STILL AWESOME!!!
Rest in peace Stan Lee🤞
LEGENDS!!!!!!
This is godly.
Stan said "Your going to do it like I said". Damn!
Bigg Howw what happened to the “Marvel Method” of making comics?
Thats the Marvel Method
kim jung gi's style reminds me of his because of how quick and effortless and good it is.

I remember watching this video 3-4 years ago. I was learning to draw Daria characters in Jim Lee style.
=^o
I dont see Jim Lee wearing glasses now,
Jared Mutia laser
eyes got better.
He had lasik surgery
I really miss Stan
Thanks for posting these, i always wanted to get these videos when they first came out, and I would have, but I didn’t do mail order at the time, maybe I didn’t have a checking account. I don’t know.
Either Jim is really short or Stan is really tall. Plus it's cool seeing Jim in the beginning of his career.
I'll pay $1000 for those sketches Jim.
Thats a price for one of his sketches
Thank you for uploading this:3
Omg is that Stan lee
Btw their all lees
An iconic fit from JL
The real question I have is, if he wasn’t actually using the entire page, but actually breaking the page down to smaller panels how would he be able to draw big enough to get the details of each character and the background but also small enough so that it fits within the panel dedicated to that scene?
With a damn Sharpie..,

I read Jim Lee was inspired by Frank Miller, and Miller was inspired by Neal Adams. And maybe Adams was inspired by Kirby. One after the other, great artists in different eras.
yo why is this so epic lmao
Jim...not doing or playing Stans office functionary game.. Low key trolling
The best X-Men comics were drawn by lee in my opinion..
Imagine if we had footage of Shakespeare guiding Michelangelo through a piece, legendary collab here.
Jim Lee trolling Marvel so hard! Lolol
Marvel sucks without these two amazing comic book icons!
i like his Twitter hat
wow look at how he just started drawing
Rest In Peace
