You really have a wealth of great videos. I’m just finding your page, just out of love of Moebius and always coming back to dig around the internet to find new stuff. But you have so many from so many artists I enjoy.
Hey Rich great video as always, I just recently discover your channel. Thank you so much for what you do, you have introduce me to a great amount of awesome artist with your super fun Sundays. As well your videos keep me motivated to learn how to draw. I'm definitely checking your patreon. Thank you so much for what you do and keep going.
I did meet him during a signing in Frankfurt, where he signed this very book for me (the german edition) and even did a little drawing of Dipo, the bird creature from the Incal books. He was very friendly, quiet though, probably because not many people in Germany speak fluent french. I tried my best, asking him what kind of comics he himself would read. "Very simple things", he replied, but I cannot clearly remember the examples he gave. I think it was something like Asterix and/or Tintin, old-school stuff so to speak.
The few videos I saw of Moebius doing art were insane.... All freehand, no sketching straight to paper. He took Herge's straight clear line and turned it in to something out of this world. And that was just his Moebius side. As Jean Giraud he had this classic brush style. Equaly amazing but maybe slightly more "normal".
Just saw a clip on Earl Greys video, I see someone talk Moebius and I’m subscribing! That’s amazing you have a hardcover Moebius from Epic. Don’t think I’ve ever seen this out there.
I believe Moebius style was so influential and universal that you could find elements of his art in works of the most of today's comic book artists and illustrators . Enki Bilal and Milo Manara managed both to create their own unique styles but for me looking at their stuff still shows their roots in Gir's art . Did anyone ever inked his work ? Doubt it . Great Vid Richard , just subbed on my other channel
I see this question (how did he do the coloring ?) asked about Moebius more than with any other artists I know ... it really shows this is one of the most critical aspect of Moebius's illustrations that most impresses people ... The way his colors look seems to be very unique and different from other artists, which prompts people to ask how he achieves it ... I've seen many artists try to copy his coloring style but no one is able to recreate it with the same finesse and sophisticated brilliance that he is consistently is able to imbue in his artworks ... Sorry I'm not able to answer your question, probably the only person able to answer you is the artist himself ... sadly he is unable to reach us from another realm where he's at right now ...
12:20 .. . Photo reference from a book of poses for artists from the late '50's or mid '60's (?) ... I have the book but can't locate it to confirm... (and I'm no way criticizing using photo reference!) ... same with page at 13:22 ...
Without wanting to be disagreeable just for the sake of it I would dispute that hey, he started in Westerns really, if anything. Plus he's older than Crumb??? If anything I think it could be the other way around as Crumb was definitely influenced by the european psychedelic lowbrow art scene. I mean he had already started Metal Hurlant by 74.
That's a great pull. There's a real connection when either of these guys gets into more photo-realistic work. Art and Beauty feels pretty close to Moebius' work on Angel Claw.

You should check out the artwork for Blacksad, a European comic set in 1950s America with animals playing main characters! The work is excellent!
I got those!! Great suggestion!!

Thanks for sharing. Love getting a glimpse of these.

Great! never seen any of those pieces before. Hope Dark Horse publish many more books of his works.

Bilal especially, manara went out and became his own thing
@@Jameswindsorsmith yea agreed .

I like you’re commentary, you’d be fun to work with& learn from, haha

Moebius was bery influenced by crumb, his early stuff was Comedy and crumby
Moebius started years before Crumb...
@@Fastbreak5000 giraud drew before crumb. Moebius is born OF crumb.

@@jonweber.8.756 read a moebius interview. He credits crumb.
@@jonweber.8.756 notice even above i credit him as giraud, not moebius
Maybe you could consider finding a way of stabilizing your camera somewhat. I gave up after a minute or so.
Check out crumbs art and beauty series to see him play with light, guys a genius
That's a great pull. There's a real connection when either of these guys gets into more photo-realistic work. Art and Beauty feels pretty close to Moebius' work on Angel Claw.
@@russworks2882 yeah russ, the first issue is the only crumb i have actually
@@russworks2882 i have 11 x 17 angel claw
Mobius was and is and always will be the best of the best. Don't forget Richard Corben and a Jack Kirby retrospective. Always like to see their work.
