    I paint with gouache, I know what he’s doing, I see what he’s doing, but still I don’t know how he’s does it. The final results looks like magic.

      Gouache is so tricky. The colorshift and keeping the right consistency. Gotta keep it all balanced. James Gurney makes it look really easy too.

      I share your feelings 😊. I gave up gouache. I was never able to tame that trick Ink.

    1:56 love this quote. As artists, we always want to go back to our previous works and “try” fixing it. It’s important to honor our past works and accept it’s all about changing and growing as creators.

    It would be awesome to see a show and tell of his specific art materials/ brands that he uses and why he likes them. Maybe even give us a simple tutorial on how on how he manipulates the gouache for what he needs. There is always great knowledge in the videos, but it would nice to see more live footage other than floating pictures. At this point he can give all his secrets and still be untouchable haha.

    I’m fascinated by the composition of the artwork. The layout, the angles he chooses to paint from. A character full bodied coming at you then a simple close up of a face, or half a face…the creativity is awe inspiring and motivating.

    in Art school I was taught nevere throw anything away. it always helps to look back at your work, and see where you suceed, and what can be better. As someone whos followed Alex's work, I can see where hes evolved and where hes going. I would love to see how his style has changed from his point of view.

    Indoor photography of reference images is a pain-because of close proximity to the subject that creates fisheye distortion. It is educational to hear that Alex Ross himself has suffered from that.

    I I don't consider myself an expert of Gouache technique, but I think one of the tricks is to keep the medium dry. It is interesting to see how Mr. Ross works his drawings in black and white first, where he resolves the chiaroscuro and in the end, places color on top.

    In terms of using photo reference, and the way Alex is describing the process of there being lens issues, figures looking stumpy,etc. That can be remedied by being able to draw from memory. Understanding form, how anatomy is supposed to look like. If you understand this and remember the various angles, it is much easier when you decide to use reference because you can easily compensate for any errors or make adjustments as you see fit without always relying on photos.

    • @artw3
      @artw3 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      This is something comic book artists, concept artists, and illustrators can do because they are dealing with it all the time. Even completely without references, they can still do a great job. The classic artists never could. You take away from them the comfort of copying photos and their art will look so clumsy and stupid, you can't tell it apart from children's drawings. I've seen it, I confirmed it.

      @@artw3 well I was saying this because that’s what I do lol. I was speaking from experience. Studied drawing for years, I barely use reference unless I’m learning something new. Not in the comic industry yet but I’m working towards it. But yes, agreed.

    So, after watching this, I still don't know what kind of paint he uses! Did I miss something. Alex was mostly talking about his technique in this video and how he used oils and didn't want to use watercolors, but did not specify the type he uses. Correct me if I'm wrong somebody, please......
