  • I have a huge amount of respect for all of the artists I cover in today's video regardless fo whether I'm talking about some good or bad art from their career.
    I've loved watching the trend of professionals reacting to good and bad things in their own field of work. The Corridor Crew's videos of 'VFX Artists React to Good and Bad Special Effects' is currently my favourite series on youtube (partially because I used to work in special effects). But in general it's always interesting watching well studied professionals talking about their craft. Another particularly fun one has been watching LegalEagle go through court and trial episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. For anyone who hasn't seen the two shows being referenced, here are links to both!

    Since I've been a professional illustrator and animator for 7 years now, I figured it'd be fun for me to break down what may have gone very right or very wrong in some of comics best and worst pages and panels. In this episode I break down some classic artwork including the infamous Rob Liefeld Captain America cover with his crazy wonky chest, Jim Lee's aversion to drawing feet, Milo Manara's controversial, busted looking Spider-woman as well as work from Kenneth Rocafort, Greg Capullo, FCO Plascencia, Francis Manapul and Humberto Ramos.
    I hope you enjoy and learn a little something about the process of making comic book art from composition, the inking and coloring process or general anatomy. Thanks for watching!

      most characters do. Reason being is that tights are easier to draw, because the body begins life with basic anatomy. Its more economical in terms of meeting deadlines than it is to draw actual clothing, because good clothes drawing never looks the same. Muscles and bones don't change much and their changes are predictable. But clothing? Wind, flexing, wet or not, gravity, etc plays a factor in how it is perceived. too much extra work, which is why you find very few characters doing anything seriously dynamic in them.

    • @wmichaelbooth
      @wmichaelbooth 5 років тому +24

      @@theneedfulniche This is something of a myth. Using covers doesn't really tell you anything. Feet not appearing on covers has little to do with artists' ability or desire to draw them and more to do with the kinds of images in which feet would or wouldn't naturally appear. The only way you will see the feet is if it's a full body shot from straight on or of the "camera" is looking down on the subject. The latter is pretty rare in comic book covers because it tends to lessen the power and impact of the subject. Instead, it's much more common to have the "camera" looking up at the subject, even if just slightly. This makes the subject appear larger and more powerful. Imagine a video of a moving train shot from a helicopter high above versus being shot from a camera lying on the tracks. A camera angled up like this simply cannot see a person's feet unless the person is airborne.
      Rob Liefeld really does hide feet, though. The difference is that he'll draw a full figure then conveniently obscure the feet with rubble or smoke or something. In none of those Jim Lee examples did it seem like he was deliberately hiding feet.

      Then youre remembering wrong. Deadpool has not always been the way he is. Liefelds version was a mostly serious mercenary that had a little bit of dry humor now and then. Nothing on the scale of stuff deadpool is known for. If liefeld hadnt inspired a gag character then someone else likely wouldve. Mightve been a different look but that hole wouldve been filled. Liefeld ultimately isnt that important for deadpools main qualities. Thats like saying bob kane deserves the main credit for batman when his first version was a piece of shit, just a guy with awful looking batwings and a generic domino mask with a red shirt. Being the first step/part of something doesnt mean much if the first version had to be overrhauled before people actually carrd about it. Also walt disney actually did make and help animate the mickey mouse people remember, unlike rob who just had deadpool as a mostly throwaway assassin

      Like I've said to many others, when you start drawing hands, imagine each finger is just a sausage connected to yet another sausage. I'm not sure how I do it now, but hands don't give me much trouble. Feet are also weird because of their movements. Not all people have one foot straight with another one to the side, and if you draw a person in a way you can't draw the feet you're used to, then the overall composition will look wrong.

    You don't need a college education in anatomy to be an artist who knows and utilizes proper anatomy. That's NOT anyone's problem. In highschool I knew plenty of artists who understood this and could draw perfectly realistic people.

      Kuu Phone Incorrect. Even with mediocre knowledge of anatomy one is still constructing an image off basic volumes, cubes, spheres, cones, cylinders. The Captain America image, and all images shown by that artist, have an issue with the artist not making a good base made of sold volumes upon which his anatomy relies.
      If you’re constructing your character’s torso based on, let’s say a box clearly placed in space, with clear understanding of its angle, perspective, centerlines, then your anatomy on top will be as sound as your knowledge of it (so, anything from none to perfect) but the construction will be sound.
      The CA image, as was said, looks like it was based on an unfolded box, or a barrel that the artist then forgot how he’d decided to place in space and didn’t check the anatomy he drew for reference. I could say it’s a case of a missing shoulder on the far side to help with the 3/4 angle but even then the wonkiness of the volume is there but it’s a stretch. I think it’s both a case of him being a bad artist in that respect as well as the ones playing him being bad at hiring.
      Of course, the style is reflective of the logic of 90s comics that were likely heavily influenced by bodybuilding which reached its peak in size and conditioning during this era... the unfortunate thing was that those bad artists just saw weird musculature that wasn’t there and put muscles upon muscles instead of actually using bodybuilding for reference. Anyway...

    Just a fun fact for anyone who doesn't know, the spider woman art is anatomically correct and has been replicated by a few people in real life, the problem is its one of those perspective issues where yes, its 100% correct but not in motion looks completely broken. personally don't like it either due to it just looking broken, but when you see a real person in the exact same pose looking exactly the same, I cant fault it on the anatomical issue, but on a composition one where the artist decided to go forward with that presumably knowing how it would look to the layman.

    Nice reaction vid and good idea. Interesting we haven't seen to much with comic book art. Also congrats on your 1 million views.
    I noticed each successive reaction vid seemed to drop. I wonder what the audience was expecting after the first one.
    Anyhoo great work and vids. *Subbed.

    I like making my own custom comic art, but I don't think I'm good at anatomy, but not as good as that Spider-Woman.

    Great video! Drawing hands has become my favorite, I get a lot of satisfaction when I nail them!
