I paint with gouache, I know what he’s doing, I see what he’s doing, but still I don’t know how he’s does it. The final results looks like magic.
Gouache is so tricky. The colorshift and keeping the right consistency. Gotta keep it all balanced. James Gurney makes it look really easy too.
I share your feelings 😊. I gave up gouache. I was never able to tame that trick Ink.
It's just how your brain is wired and then: practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice, practice :)
Your artwork on kingdom come for me, was a major inspiration of why I continue to study, art and why now I teach art.
1:56 love this quote. As artists, we always want to go back to our previous works and “try” fixing it. It’s important to honor our past works and accept it’s all about changing and growing as creators.
"Art is never finished, only abandoned."
true
Leo's quote is just brilliant 👍🏻
Facts
It would be awesome to see a show and tell of his specific art materials/ brands that he uses and why he likes them. Maybe even give us a simple tutorial on how on how he manipulates the gouache for what he needs. There is always great knowledge in the videos, but it would nice to see more live footage other than floating pictures. At this point he can give all his secrets and still be untouchable haha.
He does. You ha e to find it. He tells what brand of gouache and brushes which believe are Windsor .
You’ve done some of the most striking work, in my opinion. Inspiring! Thanks for all you do.
Simply in his own league
I’m fascinated by the composition of the artwork. The layout, the angles he chooses to paint from. A character full bodied coming at you then a simple close up of a face, or half a face…the creativity is awe inspiring and motivating.
It's so great to see a Master express himself and share with us !
in Art school I was taught nevere throw anything away. it always helps to look back at your work, and see where you suceed, and what can be better. As someone whos followed Alex's work, I can see where hes evolved and where hes going. I would love to see how his style has changed from his point of view.
And where is he going?
Happy Belated Birthday Alex! Mike M
Indoor photography of reference images is a pain-because of close proximity to the subject that creates fisheye distortion. It is educational to hear that Alex Ross himself has suffered from that.
I get to look at your artwork every day when I go in my studio I love my “scars” giclée. Thank you for the videos.
So excited for the new paintings of Avengers and Xmen.
your work is just mindblowing
Alex, i'm one of your French fans, you are an artistic inspiration for me, thank you for everything you do..
I remember the first time I saw Alex's work, as much as I loved it I remember thinking I'll never make it as an artist now! There's no denying the quality and hard work that goes into it
Amazing technique!
The Frazzeta of today!
Awesome techniques by a master in the comic art matter!
Could you do a demo of you are coloring over the black and white undertones as you were explaining it towards the end of the video please?
Thanks
awesome
That pretty good
I I don't consider myself an expert of Gouache technique, but I think one of the tricks is to keep the medium dry. It is interesting to see how Mr. Ross works his drawings in black and white first, where he resolves the chiaroscuro and in the end, places color on top.
Haven't seen it yet, but I'm sure it's good, so here's a thumbs up for you.
It’s so interesting listening to your “secrets” e.g. undertones or 7 heads tall figures….
If Alex can making to film movie or tv series, could win premio Oscar Academy, Golden Globe. Alex is old man now. Our dream of art to film.
What are your favorite brands of gouache? That would help a lot, thank you🙏
4:15 It’s just me or green lantern has 5 fingers in one of his hands?
good
What brand of gouache does he use?
In terms of using photo reference, and the way Alex is describing the process of there being lens issues, figures looking stumpy,etc. That can be remedied by being able to draw from memory. Understanding form, how anatomy is supposed to look like. If you understand this and remember the various angles, it is much easier when you decide to use reference because you can easily compensate for any errors or make adjustments as you see fit without always relying on photos.
This is something comic book artists, concept artists, and illustrators can do because they are dealing with it all the time. Even completely without references, they can still do a great job. The classic artists never could. You take away from them the comfort of copying photos and their art will look so clumsy and stupid, you can't tell it apart from children's drawings. I've seen it, I confirmed it.
@@artw3 well I was saying this because that’s what I do lol. I was speaking from experience. Studied drawing for years, I barely use reference unless I’m learning something new. Not in the comic industry yet but I’m working towards it. But yes, agreed.
What brand of gouache does he prefer?
wow
aku juga menggunakan Gouache sebagi basik untuk lukisanku.
I liked it as a nightmare cartoonist
Gouache was created for commercial art such as illustration and advertising.
Tecnica perfeita do Alex Ross
Gouache my man
how do you find the drying time for this paint?
Gouache is like watercolor, it dries pretty fast.
@@dogecoinentertainment thank you. I have heard about it but never tried it. looks like a pretty cool result can be achieved with it.
So he uses gouache.. Is that correct? I didn't quite catch what he said. The paint looks like gouache..
Yes, it's gouache.
So, after watching this, I still don't know what kind of paint he uses! Did I miss something. Alex was mostly talking about his technique in this video and how he used oils and didn't want to use watercolors, but did not specify the type he uses. Correct me if I'm wrong somebody, please......
Gouache
Right? Haha. Windsor Newton, Holbein, M Graham, I saw a tube of Daniel Smith in one video..
Looks like Windsor Newton gouache! Finally saw some tubes in another video.
So, was it watercolor or gouache?
gouache
3:52 i wish Shazam could be badass like this on movies. Its a shame.
Change the color(scheme) of character's
🥲👍🏻
the skills level is beyond comprehension. !
Hello every one I have lots of comic character and cerachtor ideas but I need a platform and a chance to explore my unique art work in the 🌎
Yeah, all those Marvels and Kingdom Come and even Terminator pages are kind of amateurish-give them to me, I’ll put them in the thrash for you! 😉
You didn't want to take Bob Krejeckis watercolors?
He barley talked about the paint lol
Who cares!
