i recently found your channel and i really have to appreciate you. there's a lot of comic art channels that do the same thing and i don't learn anything in the end. the way you explain the potential processes and basic of each art style you cover is really enlightening.
Thank you so much for the kind words Philip! That is absolutely what I intend when I make these videos - I want to make all of comic art accessible, and not being just a video of me drawing an not really explaining how to truly do it yourself. Like you say - it's a potential process, it's the way I think something is done but it could be done probably 1000 different ways, so if my way helps even 1 person then the video is worth it. 😁
Joe's work has always struck me as a perfect fusion of western comic style and manga style. More than anything it reminds me of 90s Capcom fighting game artwork. Lash, especially, makes me think of Akuma in the Street Fighter Alpha anime OVAs.
You're absolutely right! I absolutely love his work, and 90's capcom fighting artwork is the best comparison I think. I just wish Joe had done more comics! 😭
@@LearnComicsWithPancake thats what he learned from, the snk fighting games too. Probably because there wasnt much anime and manga you could access then other than fighting game media. That and its good.
Thank you friend! Hopefully have the next Joe Mad video out next week - it's going to be a super indepth one so I can't wait to share it. 😄 I will have a look and then add him to my list! Thankyou as always for commenting!
A few people have mentioned it in the comments of the first video - I can see why! Between him and Aikman, I can see quite a few similarities :) Thanks for commenting!
Ive always been super curious about how joe does his coloring. I absolutely adore the fact that his art isnt completely inked in but you can see the pencil lines over the colors. Digitally i wonder how that effect is made
Well in these 3 issues - they weren't actually inked suprisingly! Not digitally or traditionally 🤯 I'm not sure if it was a style decision, budget constraints or what. So Marte Gracia - the colourist (amazing work!) took the pencils, just upped the contrast a little and then digitally painted behind them 🤗
Your comprehensive breakdowns on famous artists' work is so well explained, in-depth and easy to understand. I forsee your channel gaining much traction in the art community. We can indeed learn SO much from the industry titans like this and I'm glad your channel is encouraging beginners like myself to do that more. Also, I really like your mic, it looks so professional like everything on your channel. I hope you're doing well.
Great video, this and the figures one. The playlist says there are four videos, but two are hidden. Are they also about Joe Mad? If so, how do we access them? Thank you!
Thank you so much for the kind words! And thank you for giving me the heads up. The other two videos are deleted uploads of the same video (1 had no sound and the other had an overlapping frame). I'm not sure why youtube is keeping them around 😅 I will have a look on desktop and see if I can manually delete them. Thanks nick!
I dont think he knew about the loomis method in high school in the early days of internet and well before TH-cam. He is self taught from watching the early small trickle we got of anime, manga, and of course comic books. He also interned at marvel during high school and had access to all the art history stored there.
If you cover rendering for joe mad I think it will be of great value, people now render more in color and there for the pencils looks very simple. But with joe mad this does not happens just the pencils are great and he has a totally different approach than jim lee or greg capullo. I have a humble opinion that you can do the same sequence that you did for jim lee and get it apply to joe mad. Example. Body, face, hair, rendering. Ryan Benjamin explained a little bit of the rendering but for each artist it's different and really takes time to learn from them. Anyhow we value your incredible effort.
I agree - it would be great to explain from a Joe perspective because his rendering is *vastly* different to Jim's, and would be great to explore! The next video is Joe's special effects (fire, water, smoke etc), then I was planning on doing hair followed by his rendering to complete the set. I am tempted to do one on his backgrounds as well, as they are simple but really effective! Thank you for being such a big Joe Mad fan, it inspired me to look into his work and now he is in my top 5 of all time :D
Thank you for being very meticulous with your videos into the art. Helps a lot. I think that those will be wonderful videos and from now on when people look for Joe they will find this video very useful
Here a tip, about faces, he uses animal features in some characters. For example if you draw the eyes of a tiger the cheeks the nose and then you add a human mouth then you understand why when some characters are mad the eyes seems to be farther apart that for regular humans. You can also check some old drawing of ludo lullaby and the way he draw noses. Not todays art, but from the past comics he was doing for Warcraft. 🎉 hope for a video of Humberto ramos on Fairy quest, it was awesome because it is a critic to Marvel
Oh wow, that is such a cool tip! I had no idea about that, but it makes absolute sense! Especially Lash and the way his jaw and teeth grit together. Thank you for the tip and the suggestion! :)
Those faces are street fighter faces not his not to sound mean he literally just appropriated the designs of male street fighter characters and put on his stuff all his male characters look like ryu, akuma or sagat
A few people have mentioned that he was inspired by 90's Fighting Games, so there are definitely hints. I don't feel like they are straight ripped, but I know very little about 90's fighting games other than vague nostalgia of playing them on PS1 many many moons ago in the 90s haha.
Is not appropriation !!!, Joe does not claim the style for himself or say that the style is his invention....he takes inspiration from the style, specifically from the movie "Street Fighter II: The Animated Movie"...like many other artists.....under the logic of "appropriation" "Avatar the last airbender" or any American animation or comic with an "Anime/manga" style, would be appropriation... that's not how it works my friend.
The Loomis I learned a little more of the face with the Loomis And Josh from (inkology) says Hello 👋 he gave me your Channel. And he said you were / are a fan of him. His art 🎨
Hello John! I'd highly recommend the loomis method - I use it every day with every drawing, it's so handy! 😁 Josh is the absolute best, I love his work and his amazing kindness haha! Hope you enjoy the video and say hi to Josh back from me if you see him before I do!

So many art styles we consider to be iconic now were so demonized by art teachers back in the day.
You have unlocked so many repressed early 2000's school memories! xD You are so right!
You are working hard lady.❤❤❤ You are amazing. Humberto Ramos must also be in your list
Thank you friend! Hopefully have the next Joe Mad video out next week - it's going to be a super indepth one so I can't wait to share it. 😄 I will have a look and then add him to my list! Thankyou as always for commenting!
He’s a direct art disciple of the Japanese artist BENGUS.

Great video and advices. Tnks!
Thank you friend! :)
My suggestions for future artists to review would be Stuart Immonen, Ed McGuinness, Mike Mignola, and my favorite Claudio Castellini.
Wonderful suggestions, all added to the poll! :D strawpoll.com/ajnEOY3KxZW
This is helpful for me 💯🙏. I am not good at drawing faces
@eschalawt I'm so very glad! 😁 I hope it helps you understand faces that bit more 😊
@@LearnComicsWithPancake It has indeed. Thank you:)

I am a big fan of Joe's art style and this video only helped me like and appreciate it more!
I'm really glad Paul! This series has made me a huge Joe fan! 😁
You are right, mouths in comics are the window into the soul. So much expression is told through them. Such a great video.
Thank you so much my friend! Always mega appreciate your feedback. 😁
Loving this series! I grew up aspiring to Joe Mad! and never figured it out. This is excellent!
Thank you for the kind words Matt! :) I wish I knew about Joe Mad earlier, his work is A-MAZE-ING! :D
Love your videos!
Thank you so much my friend! 😁
@@LearnComicsWithPancake my pleasure! Would love to have you on the podcast sometime if you’d consider it. Take care and be well!

this is fantastic ,please keep it up
@DaveTheSodaGuy0 thank you dave! I intend to 😁
.. you should also look at Joes' Ultimates 3!
I have! I just really don't like the colouring 😅🙃 after seeing Marte's colouring I think I got spoiled! But I will see if I can find the pencils 😁
@@LearnComicsWithPancake - ah, it's ok, I actually much prefer that color work over Marte's
@@thorsmallet then there are more comics to go around for everyone's tastes 😁
