Again Steve…love this. I’m saving all of these. These people are so lucky to have someone like you showing them how it’s done. Best wishes always…Spark 💥
Holy crap, how did I not know that the great Steve Rude had a TH-cam channel??? Inktober is the perfect time to try and improve my line weights. Thanks for the help Steve!
Thanks! Im trying to reboot my failed career doing comics. This is very inspirational! Thanks for helping to remind me of the fundamentals of sequential comic art!
Hey another great channel to watch for inspiration, process and for background while you work on your art is Cartoonist Kayfabe. Best of luck on your work.
Awesome, thank you! I love it when Steve shares his knowledge and insight with us like this. IMO he's among the most masterful storytellers comics have ever had.
Must admit, I was never a fan of Vince Colletta’s inking style (although I quite liked his work on George Tuska’s Iron Man)…..I much preferred Giacoia’s boldness. My favourite, totally reliable inker was Joe Sinnott. Such a clean inker but the king for me was the incomparable Tom Palmer.
Jeff, Rest assured that anything that bears the credit "written by Mike Baron" did indeed come from him. The whole Nexus idea, the cast of characters and the stories that involved their incredible tales, as well as the often eccentric names in Nexus, all came from one source--mighty Mike Baron. I just happened to come along to put his wondrous stories to pencil.
Yea that is a thing that beginners see, but not see, the lines. And what they are and what they are doing. How thin or how fat or how formed, and then how to do it yourself. Takes alot of thought for a beginner to go from pencil sketch to well finished illustration like that.
I have a couple story ideas that I feel like I need to get them out. No idea if anyone will enjoy it, money would be great but it’s more about the integrity to the story I have no drawing skills but I love these lessons. Any ideas
I do work for a publisher in Australia - I know for a fact that they would love to commission you to illustrate one of their short stories... let me know if you are interested - personally I love your art.
Thank you so much for this, I never considered line weight intentionally affected by the light source and creating depth with the stroke. I plan on practicing this technique tonight!

What a great & easy to understand way of demonstrating this concept. Nice video! Thanks!
Dave Sim said that beginners tend to make thin lines not thin enough and thick lines not thick enough. Great video, Steve.

Greetings from Chile, master, and thanks for your video!!!
Exelente video ! muchas gracias !! Thank you ! 🙂
Thank you…a much needed detail for newer artist to focus on.🙏🏾
Love Giacoia’s inks on Kirby - his best inker in my opinion.
Thank you! 👍 Subscribed!
Thanks Steve! You’re a master, dude.
Good explanation. Am also curious about square panels in traditional comics vs the variety of slanted panels in manga. Thanks again. Fine work.
I had the honor and pleasure of watching you paint and hearing you talk at the last Doc Savage convention. I always enjoy your work.
Thanks for posting Steve. Loved the last Nexus hardcover and can’t wait for the next!

awesome thanks for the video it was very informative :)
Great line weight instruction, Steve.
Always good to get advice from an artist's artist, there's a reason Steve is so highly regarded.
Toth was also pleased with Giacoia’s inks.
Gene Colan loved Giacoia's inks, but said that he didn't get a lot of work done because he watched too much TV.

Wonderful video
Thank you, Steve. Good insights and advice as always. Great work!
Probably more of a question to Baron, but who came up with the name "GUCCI ASSASSINS"?

Another Great Class!! Thanks master Rude!
Most excellent, installment, Maestro.

Thank You for the video mr Rude, one question, in what size You work the pages of Nexus? Seems a lot bigger than the normal american size cómic page.
Steve works on 18”x24” Strathmore paper 👍
Great advice about details. "Make sure it reads as cleanly as if it didn't have all those details."
Thank you for your kind words! I really appreciate it and hope it helps you in your own projects!

Thank you, but while Steve is open for covers, he prefers to focus on Nexus and the Moth.
🔥💟🖤 AWESOME VIDEO 🖤💟🔥

Are you using your opaque projector as a brush holder? 🙂
YOU RULE RUDE DUDERINO🤩😎🤪
It's ludicrous how Americans limii the great medium of comics almost exclusively to silly superhero nonsense.
The real Golden Age of Comics started way before Superman. Sunday comics that bore these men in tights is so unexplored.
I am opposed to line weight myself lol
