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.
@@thomaspitilli Yes, they are incredible. I work myself as a comic book/bandes dessinées artist (I grew up in France), and my best influences are Régis Loisel, Vincent Mallié, Mathieu Lauffray, Anlor, Virginie Augustin. And there are much more.
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.
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 forgot to drop a comment. I genuinely appreciate videos that are pretty informative on the comic making process. With a little bit of 90s nostalgia, gotta appreciate the most visually expressive decade.
I love process and pencil editions. I have a few of the unwrapped and they're a treasure trove of insights. I hope they do a lot more of these pencil only versions.
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.
That's cool that you also had those issues too back in the day. Hard not to be inspired by that stuff. I'm not familiar with his Justice League stuff, but I'll look it up!
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.
@ I met him at Bmore CC last year, we talked for a good bit. He was the amongst the coolest creators - along with Steve Rude, David Finch, Art Adams, Klaus Janson, and the late great Ed Piskor. And of course his art was 🤯🤯🤯
Years ago, through rigorous research and experimentation, I determined that it is actually impossible to draw a blimp flying over a city. I don't know how Garney did it. Seriously though, great video. Love seeing the process. Ink a page!
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.
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.
Those pencils are clean! No shade to the team that put this comic out, but I would read a comic with just those pencils. They’re so good! Thank you for the post and inspiration . Peace.
As a kid I very liked illustrations in books series Battletech. It was just simple black and white line drawings, almost like this sketches in the comix.
I'm new on your channel, and I must say, you doing great!! I never knew, that there are roughcuts. Very interesting! The rought cut, to me, looks more cool than the colored version.🤣😂
I didn't know there was a Rough Cut of Alan Davis' FF. I have the full colored version of that whole series and it's really great. I'd love to get that penciled version. I already ordered the Thor Rough Cut, based on some of the suggestions in this comment section.

New subscriber here! Nice walkthrough - like you I'm a process geek- Do you know what typo of pencil he used - the variation in tone is incredible!! Him content with just the pencilling to follow the story.. Lol Btw is that your music that's rockin in the background??! - I noticed the guitar...lol
I wouldn't know what pencil he was using, but maybe I'll have Ron on the channel one day and we can ask him! And no that's not my music haha. The best I can do on that bass is make some random sounds here and there.
Whoa! I had no idea those even existed. The JRJR Thore issue must be incredible! That's some of his absolute best work on that series. Gonna look for that on ebay right now haha.
yes this camera moving always non stop even when speak now make me feel sick , agree whit you its too much that why i love more the way how English movies series make it fixe camera best from Switzerlan comics guy too ;)
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.

@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.

Actually pencils are always more beautiful than the inks ...they are more expressive and artistic..may be it has to do with the grey range of a pencil compared to inks .
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.

Love his amazing artwork on Captain America! And written by one of my favorite writers Mark Waid!
I have one of these but with John Romita Jr. It was an issue of Thor.
Just ordered that one on ebay 😉
I forgot to drop a comment.
I genuinely appreciate videos that are pretty informative on the comic making process.
With a little bit of 90s nostalgia, gotta appreciate the most visually expressive decade.
Glad you dig it. Thanks for watching!
These books were great. I have the Avengers Rough Cut…George Perez’s pencils were gorgeous.
I love process and pencil editions. I have a few of the unwrapped and they're a treasure trove of insights. I hope they do a lot more of these pencil only versions.
Yes, me too! I'll try and make more videos of pencil stuff too 👍
Looks like there’s rough cuts of Romita jr’s Thor #1 and Sentry #1 as well. These are super dope, plus pretty cheap to pick up on eBay
Just bought the JRJR Thor Rough Cut on ebay! Look out for a video on that one 👍
Great video, Thomas...just 'great'! I loved your insightful narration on this 'time-honored' comic process.

Great video.and yeah, after a thirty-five break, starting to read comics again, I agree that the books are better than the movies by MILES.
There's an FF issue done by Alan Davis - its ptetty awesome. I also have the Thor issue which is good and the Avengers and Cap A issue. Cool video!

Glad you like it!
Awesome, nothing like seeing pencils. Please do the George Perez pencils. Thank you !
@mexicanusrex9418 Will add that to the list!
Ryan Ottley did one of his Spiderman run for the 1st issue. Idk how rare it is, but I have that one.
@youngcomicart50-f2w That sounds really cool. I'll have to check that out!
Ron Garney also did some very cool looking issues of Silver Surfer around 97 maybe slightly before this.
I'm slightly aware of those from images I've seen online, but I never collected it back in the day. I'll have to look into those!
Really dope video keep it up 🤘🏾🤙🏾

People with hand tattoos should make videos that involve focusing on their hands because that tattoos are a constant visual distraction.

yes this camera moving always non stop even when speak now make me feel sick , agree whit you its too much that why i love more the way how English movies series make it fixe camera best from Switzerlan comics guy too ;)
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.

Yeah, please do th Avengers video, that would be awesome
Actually pencils are always more beautiful than the inks ...they are more expressive and artistic..may be it has to do with the grey range of a pencil compared to inks .
I think it's a matter of preference. I love black and white ink drawings. Pencils are great too. Both just serve different purposes 👍
@thomaspitilli oh yes ..inking in itself is an art form and it takes a lot to master it .
I feel like the colors didn’t do the art justice especially in the backgrounds.
