you're not overthinking it. Mignola's art is deceptively complex.

[@twicedeadmage]

Yes. The man knows how to symplify his panels but his characters are complex and iconic in their few elements.

[@rosfell00]

It wasn't until I read Wild Hunt that I realized he's more complex than I believed, the Blood Queen's helmet and the chamber with the knights of the round table being a good example of that

[@cjvickery]

Just stumbled on this one. As a huge fan of his work, I have often tried to decode what makes his design so appealing when it seems so improvised(?); at least I suppose that's the best word for it. I really like how you describe the confidence of the shapes and the negative space. I think that gets to the heart of what feels so visceral about his panels; they feel like they were just spontaneously generated from his mind.
Great video, thanks for sharing!

I recently started drawing again and trying to emulate Mignola’s art style is pretty difficult. Because I had to unlearn my art style. It’s like asking a dog to meow. Fun experiment though.

Keep doing this series! It's very informative and an excitement to watch. Keep up the great work Brother!

[@BrotherBaston]

Thanks!

[@dantetaylor808]

It would be awesome to see a sort of mash up drawing for the final video in this series, combining some of your favorite elements from these different artists into one illustration.

[@BrotherBaston]

Yeah that could definitely be interesting.

[@arachnon4785]

Im just getting back into drawing when im on my break at work with a little challenge that i call 30 minute faces. I find a face i find interesting and then i draw it in my style. And i just let loose. I started this because i nearly ruined drawing for myself because i was always comparing myself to the comuc book greats

[@jmward4920]

Your commentary on this is game changing, i love it, its made me more confident by calling out the confidence of Mignola and others. You have such a good point. Awesome vid, awesome drawings ❤

[@danilostanich9206]

Faces are pretty much my favourite thing to draw.

[@lucky_luck5411]

Thank you so much for this!!

[@ComicBookGuy420]

Misshapen and surreal, loves it

[@sentiny]

Very informative, thanks

[@darioscomicschool1111]

THANK YOU!

[@timotheuspeter734]

Interesting video & analysis! It’s also fascinating to see that your recreation of Mignola’s style almost seems too clean in direct comparison to his own drawings, which supports your remarks regarding his inherent/intended imperfections.

[@KeyserTheRedBeard]

interesting upload BrotherBaston. I smashed the thumbs up on your video. Maintain up the superb work.

[@cakemanLHK]

YES

[@TheKirov21]

great vid, mignola is interesting one. Symbolism is also a center of his plot, and everything else in his comics.

[@greyhameavandhat1220]

agree w/ yr comments about art snobery / peer pressure

[@ninitehchsnavi5238]

top right head was my favorite.

[@AceHardy]

🔥

[@BrotherYarmoth]

Red Hook studios: Let's make a game that looks like Hellboy...but plays like XCOM.

[@channingparker9431]

Here in a America we have this disease called "perfectionism"
That's why most art styles look exactly the same, just rendered differently.

[@fightflicks4823]

can you please do drawing faces like TODD MCFARLANE. love your videos

[@Azfurita]

That face on the right-bottom part was initially in the style of Mike Mignola, and you redrew it until it became a completely different drawing style😅

[@quebrandomitos5910]

Hi there, you could talk a little about the program and tools you’ve used in this video, thanks!

[@Firecell777]

*clap* Francis *clap* Manapul
(prob gonna keep requesting it till it happens)

[@alltheserobotsshallfall]

you got a lot of monsters, that is one reason you are seeing no pupils....

[@fenrir-art4742]

I enjoyed 2019 Hellboy movie. Liked the other two movies too. Hellboy 2 is best of them to me. I always liked that movie and saw that more than first movie. Nuada was interesting.

[@fenrir-art4742]

great art too. liked that style. has a scary but unique power.

[@matthewkeating6970]

I use a carpenter's pencil only way I can.get that much black.

[@luxuriousmindset1906]

Dont draw dragon ball: every boring still life artist drawing flowers 😂😂😂😂😂😂😂

[@eljayess]
