    Many comic book artists are still using pencil and paper. In France, the majority of graphic novel artists (bandes dessinées) use paper and pencil, and ink with a brush.

    Such great stuff! I first learned of and fell in Love with Ron Garney's amazing art work when he restarted Hulk's comic book run back in '99, written by my favorite comic artist and writer, John Byrne! It's such a great series. I'd LOVE to find a Rough Cut version of that series, especially the first issue.

    • @thomaspitilli
      @thomaspitilli  หลายเดือนก่อน +1

      His Hulk work is great too. I don't think there is a Rough Cut version of that though, unfortunately. I'd love to see an Artist's Edition of all of his Captain America work one day!

    I bought both of those issues when they came out and I still have them. Ron Garney has all the essentials of great comic book storytelling. I was an aspiring comic artist at the time and I used that issue as an inspiration for penciling and page composition. I also have the trade collection of the Justice League story arc he penciled, Syndicate Rules.

    • @thomaspitilli
      @thomaspitilli  2 หลายเดือนก่อน +1

    As a comic artist I’m always learning and I love the “raw” editions of books. Not to family with Ron’s work but it looks like he may have been an inspiration or influence to Jim Lee and his style. There are some similarities with structure and layouts. I think I’m a fan of Ron’s now thank you.

    Thomas thanks for putting this up. I've always had an appreciation for comics and cartooning, and have been sketchbooking on and off for some years. The more I get into comics, the more I really appreciate how massive this container is. Anything I would want to draw, any story I would want to tell, can fit into this apparently unlimited universe. I just read a beautiful wordless graphic novel called "Flood", by Eric Drooker, great stuff. The casual observer and art snobs do not get how precise, how detailed and how accurate these works can be, and not only that, but you can dial it up or back to taste. This crew highlighted here are masters of anatomy, perspective, composition and proportion, and the panels are really beautiful, well-crafted and interesting. On the other hand, some of the most successful cartoons like Peanuts, Garfield, B.C., are not complex and would not require decades of training to render....not to be obvious. Longer story short, it's really grabbed me by the face as an approach to drawing, I'm pretty sure I'm in.

    • @thomaspitilli
      @thomaspitilli  หลายเดือนก่อน

      The endlessness of story opportunity in the comics medium is definitely such an amazing thing. Glad you're finding inspiration in this art form. I had bought a copy of Flood years ago, it's such a beautiful example of what can be done with just visual storytelling and no words. Blood Song, also by Eric Drooker is really great as well.

    @PHILF-pv9dy 12 วันที่ผ่านมา

    I think comics should not be inked. The pencil gives so much life to an illustration by the different values. It also gives more control over the focus points. When ink is applied it's too much "absolute" and kill all the depth. I would love for comics to keep the pencils and use ink only to enhance some contours. A good example of what I mean is your maryjane and spiderman upside down (in another video). It wasn't finished but gives a good idea of what a finished product could look like. 100% black ink only looks old. And by the way, I love your work, great gestures and definitely have a distinctive style that we associate with your name.

      Thank you! I'm glad you liked that piece. I can't agree with you about comics not being inked, though. I think the blending of pencils and ink is the hallmark of comic art. There are, of course, exceptions, but mostly I'm a huge fan of black and white comic art. I think with the proliferation of digital art, the impact of true ink on paper has diminishing. But, here's hoping we're at the beginning of a black and white comeback!

    • @PHILF-pv9dy
      @PHILF-pv9dy 9 วันที่ผ่านมา

      @thomaspitilli I would like to add, I am an artist too making my living as a storyboard artist, still fairly young in my midthirties. A couple weeks ago, I would have totally agree with you about "traditions". But in the past weeks I got an illness that kept me bedridden for two weeks straight and unable to work. During that time I had a lot of time to think. I thought about my work and the way I do it. I am too much like the others with slight differences. A trained eye will spot my work, but the average person will confuse my work with others artists. I came to the conclusion that if I have to die tomorrow I would prefer my work to stand out. We basically have two choices: blend in with traditions and be among similar copies of us or make bold moves and stand out. Making bold moves is dangerous. It's a fine thread where it's easy to fall, but success is far more rewarding. I decided to start walking on the thread, live the pain and look for meaning. With all this I think I have a better understanding of artists, which I often look past, like Picasso. Breaking the rules, the traditions, the expectations.
