    I know it doesn't appeal to everyone, but I love his work, there's something so striking about it, it's so different to the norm, plus he was my introduction to spider-man.

    • @magusnero7020
      @magusnero7020 3 роки тому +1

      I get he is trying his own style to stick out but its some of the proportion and foreshortening tends to be noticeably off. I hate to be the one to say it but I think he gets his perks from riding his father's coat-tails.

    One of the best artists? Umm no..Jr Jr is just barely passable most of the time, but is also responsible for some of the worst art in comics in ever. Just look at that Batman he just sketched..TERRIBLE.

      Man I miss the Romita Jr from the late 90s and early 2000s he have a lot of amazing panels but from that now in the present his draws start to feel lazy and with not the same amount of dedication. And probably the last thing he draw that likes me was the cover for amazing Spider-Man #600. Where Spider-Man looks incredible with the buildings behind him.

  • @ArtofLunatik
    @ArtofLunatik 6 років тому +7

    Watching movies is great advice because you are basically storyboarding when your drawing comics. I believe some comic artist would make good Movie directors or cinematographer.

  • @Boy1dr1938
    @Boy1dr1938 6 років тому +24

    A consummate professional, and a far better draftsman than he's given credit for. For years, I couldn't get past the aesthetics of his work...it just appeared too outwardly ugly for me to understand why he was consistently hired on the biggest books in the industry. As I learned more about storytelling and rendering, however, I grew to appreciate the economy of his use of line. He uses as few lines as possible to communicate the story; while this may seem like "cheating", it's effective in keeping the narrative clean and it requires a selectivity that's. far more difficult than fully rendering scenes. Sure, some of the faces he draws aren't pleasant to look at, but you could malign some of the individual drawings of Kirby and Gil Kane on those same grounds.

  • @Powerincarnate.
    @Powerincarnate. 4 роки тому +1

    His updated style from the 90s; while it is Unique and thus separates him from the Marvel "House Style" it is polarizing though. Ultimately, I don't like it. For example, I didn't like Uncanny X-Men 304 compared with X-men 25 in Fatal Attractions. I prefer his older X-men and Spiderman work; but as I said, it didn't separate him from others.

  • @keepyoureyespeeled
    @keepyoureyespeeled 6 років тому +12

    I may be in the minority here but I don't see the appeal behind his work. It all looks a bit boxy and stiff to me. If you like him, that's cool but I just don't see it. He seems like a cool guy though.

    • @shanehackett4683
      @shanehackett4683 6 років тому

      It's his storytelling. His layouts, shot selection, rhythm, clarity, and attention to detail as far as character, geography and spatial awareness are unparalleled. I didn't like his style for a while either, then I read Daredevil Man Without Fear and I got it.

    I am self taught, comic artist, Iron Man, Batman, Superman, Punisher, Pedator. My number 1's, but man he has been in "Comic art" for how long? I can do better left handed. Was he drunk? I've drawn in front of a crowd and under pressure. If I did that! I would be ashamed and punch myself in the FACE!

    • @RobertSmith-es2gh

      Benjamin Rivera Then again he is a published artist with decades of experience. Working on everything from Spider-Man to Superman.
      What have you got to show for?
      I am also an artist, and you claim to be one too, so you should know his storytelling skills are really superior.
      True, this piece here is weak, his work is sloppy at times, but he can keep a deadline, something very few can do nowadays.
