Have watched this for about 20 times now I think. When I was younger I wanted to be a comic book artist and trained for some years until I got into computer science. I always thought comic book artists would draw the whole image without any pre-drawing/construction. Because of that my improvements were very slow. One of the first videos which showed me that most comic book artist create their art gradually like a potter who is pottering a vase, was this video here. I got instantly back into drawing after over 15 years of abstinence. Thank you.
nealadamsdotcom Mr. Neal Adams I thought you came up with the Batman pose, Since you started sketching it first.Or did you use a reference for this pose.thank. you.
I just found out about the passing of our dear #NealAdams . I am really very sad. His art accompanied me since I was a child, despite the thousands of kilometers that separated us, his talent came to me in the comicbooks that fed our creative impulses. Thank you for so much, master, Rest in peace. My condonlences for the family
Neal Adams gave me more joy growing up in the 70's than I can possibly express! Hell my mother knows who Neal Adams is & can usually identify his work! Thank you !
i just have to say something here ! Neil Adams is so important to the evolution of his medium and is a true great ---brave to see Neil expose his process like this - Love ya Brother /you are a superhero to me
Amazing! I didn't think Neal would draw like this, for no reason in particular. He seems to "feel out" the figure rather than start with a mechanical "skeleton". Partially erasing the initial drawing seems to have been enough of a framework to carry the process forward. I was also surprised to see how painstaking he was in some areas, like the mouth. This was a lovely example of how illustration happens. Thanks for posting.
Back in the 70s, Batman became exactly the comic book it was intended to be. I was never really into Batman but then there was a Neal Adams cover leering at me. Impossible to pass up. I still have them all and treasure among the finest ever. It seemed to anticipate today's graphic novels.
I go to the Joe Kubert School and was fortunate enough to have Neal Adams come in and speak to us. I like Neal's way of thinking because it's like mine. Use your common sense, everyone has it. (Or so we like to think) :)
There's something to be learned here. Mr. Adams spend so much time on the facial expression right from the get-go... and he drew some of the best Batman facial expressions... maybe if the face hadn't turned out good it would have been time to start over and try again
woah- i'm assuming he's not looking at any reference here either. pretty impressive knowledge of anatomy and ability to render it with a light source and foreshortened on the fly if that's the case.
@LittleMikeStarCraft - There's a Captain America cover up for auction on Ebay. We're auctioning it off for the benefit of Gary Friedrich,, co-creator of of Ghost Rider, who is suffering hard times. You might like to bid on it, or not.
I just watched a video where he explains to a group of kids that drawing should be done from the shoulder yet watching him here he is using all wrist .
I'm sorry? When Have I been late? What reprint issues???? What the HELL are you talking about? Most of all, what GREED are you speaking of? That I charge for my services? Isn't that what every working person does. Should I work for free? Do you work for free? Why are you saying these terrible things about me? Who the HELL do you think you are?
this is why I love youtube....Neal if I was you I would develope a web site of step by step technique of all your artistic wisdom...and sell it....I would gladly pay you...
Just got home from work and read about the sad news...Rest in Peace Mr.Adams.You are a legend and one of the greatest to ever lived

If you don't use photo reference as a number one tool, you will always be at the back of the pack!

I think people who know about this kind of thing will acknowledge that neal adams is the man, but that's an understatement..
