My favorite comic artist ever! Sienciewicz is a ATG. He had the rare combo of skill and creativity to push the limits of the medium. Thank you guys as always for diving in to this!
This book had a huge impact on me when I was in junior high. It showed me that no matter how wild and experimental Bill S's published work looked, beneath that was tons of solid training and real talent. AND it also intimidated me so much that it took me more than ten years before I got the nerve to start an actual real sketchbook of my own and really start training seriously...

Jokes apart, Sienkiewicz is one of my favorite artists. His pieces are amazing to look that. And the Kayfabe commentary adds so much to the experience.
It was always such a joy to discover the issues where Sienkiewicz inked over artists like the Buscemas, Jurgens, Aparo, Staton, etc. Most of them were completely random DC and Marvel books from the '90s. But wow, they blew my mind.
Bill Sienkiewicz is a huge influence on me. Love his Moon Knight and New Mutants, Moby Dick, Dune, Batman, Elektra Assassin.
How are you guys reading my mind? Stray Toasters next week, yeah?
Both my copies have disappeared over the years. I weep real tears, I tell you!
5:14 There's a great quote here. talking about the comic adaptation and how he had to stick to the actor's likenesses but had wanted to take advantage of comics' unlimited "budget" and make Baron Harkonnen immense. He says "It's like doing the adaptation of Superman and having to draw the wires holding Chris Reeves aloft." I've always loved that.
Sketching with a ball point pen really is the most effective way to learn how to draw. It’s all I had growing up was cheap ballpoint pens & typing paper. I kept buy his Shadow comics over and over. I think I have two or three complete runs before I realized what was happening.
This sketchbook as practically my bible! Bill Sienkiewicz is my favourite artist of all-time and his work is a huge influence on me. I look at this book a lot. Loads of great stuff in there. I love his pen and ink work the most.
I am sure many of these were drawn in the mid 1980s. This was a time period where he took the train into work and would draw pictures.
There was an RPG then called Arcanum by Bard Games. The Bestiary (read Monster Manual) was done by Bill. It’s a fucking master piece! He did the art for Bard Games page by page while on the train.
@9:45 in the upper left. A man leaning on a table in the foreground, a man sitting in the background. Incredible use of negative space.
Yes, sir! Sketching in ink. I adopted that practice after reading it back in the 90s in this book you got under the microscope here. I stand by that recommendation!

Bill's sketches are so wonderful. It is a beautiful mess.
Just got my LCS to order Red Room for me!! Love the channel!
Awesome! Thank you!
That was a nice shot of inspiration!
Thank you!
A monster!!!!
Whoa he definitely influenced Mark Gonzales! Lots of these sketches look like graphics for Krooked skateboards. I think Bill deserves a check haha
A lot of these rough sketches and poses really remind me of Shel Silverstein.
Ahhhhhhhhhh yeah Bill Sienkiewicz!!!!!
He seems to have been putting out several sketchbooks out the last few years that you can get on his website. Idk how they compare to this in terms of length or commentary, but yeah
Ed, my good man, my Wizzywig will arrive tomorrow and I'm stoked...it has "A Velvet Glove Cast in Iron" as a traveling companion...man, what kind of crazy shit are those books planning on doing to me when I open that damn box? LoL
Almost forgot... X-Men: Grand Design Treasury Editions ordered today... first X book since highschool ...around 1988.
There is a damn good reason for that.
EDIT: Ed, just want to say Wizzywig is a great read. I was expecting a lot...and you one up me.
Those books were all over the place unsold for years. I got mine for a SONG about 20 years ago... I turn around and looked it up a few months ago and they run about $100. I've had a bunch of my books do that while I wasn't looking. I'll tell someone about it and get them all into it and then find out that it's $500 now...
great video!
had to look up a video so i knew how to pronounce his last name 😂
#iunno. . . iunno. . . AGAIN!?
You guys have to do stray toasters
I still have my copy
9:24 insightful
great video!!! could you do one of simon bisley's sketchbook please?? thanks again
Thanks guys, as usual. I forgot Sienkiewicz adapted the Dune movie. Have you ever reviewed Kyle Baker’s work? Would love to see that someday. Really like Why I hate Saturn, but I am fan of his version of The Shadow (which would be interesting to compare with Chaykin’s ).
I like a lot of Baker's comics. I just read his book, How to Draw Stupid (and applied one of the lessons to my latest page!). So he's on my mile long list of cartoonists to look at here. Just a matter of time and figuring out the best way to get into what he has done. Baker's had such a wide-ranging career! - Jim
This collection feels so much like film, that already has that push toward exaggerated forms. Those post 60’s political caricature styles.
Is that how his name is pronounced?!? Jeez, I've been mispronouncing it for over thirty years.
