I really appreciate being able to see and hear the artists tell their stories. When I was a kid collecting comics and trying to mimic them there was no internet so I had no clue what they looked like, much less listen to them tell their stories. I think it's easy to take this for granted nowadays. I even found the little story at the end about his signature fascinating, this might seem mundane to some people. I didn't like his style when he took over on X-Men, but it grew on me over the years. I now actually like his style, when you see it, there's no mistaking it for anyone else's.
I love his art-it is very stylized,sure-but his storytelling is just stellar. One of the very few comic book artists that could draw a story you could completely follow without reading any words at all!
John Romita Jr. is one of my top 5 influential artists of all time. I freaking love his art style especially for dark and gritty like street level heroes. Daredevil hands down is my favorite character he's ever worked on
Great to see JRJR getting love, but would've preferred the camera to stay on the drawing table longer. You barely get to see him actually putting pencil to paper.
As a boy growing up in England in the 1980s the creator names on American comics seemed incredibly exotic and mystical to me, and I could only guess at how to properly pronounce them. No-one else but me knew these names because most people then didn't know American comics. I stopped collecting mainstream comics towards the end of the 90s (without regret) and now one of the stranger, rarer but most genuinely thrilling things I do in this age of the internet is see and hear speak the people with these names with the quiet, illogical bemusement that they are actual human beings and not the arcane, near-gods of my childhood perceptions.
I waited in line at comic con for his autograph but if you’ve ever done this you know there’s a time limit for them I was coming up next but his mgr or handler said I was too late he heard this & said that bullshit & actually personalized it for me I doubt he’ll read this but thank you meant a lot
Besides the broken wrist, that way of picking up the pencil makes your whole arm to do most of the job, which ends in bigger, looser and more natural types of lines. I think it's safe to say that 90 % of the people who draw for a living use that at least for the initial states. Inking's a completely different game, so my guess is that the broken wrist's the reason why he doesn't usually inks himself.
Seriously my favorite artist. I've followed him through the years. His Uncanny X-Men from the 90s blew my mind as a teen, helped motivate me to draw and develop my talent. Someday I'll own a signed sketch 😀
He's underrated because he doesn't love comic book work, lol. He loves gaming work and development, so that's not gonna keep him on the forefront of comics lovers if ya know what I mean... I love his art too, but that dislike for the artform def drops him many pegs for me
@@braylonrandle1731 is he? In a way he chose that because he went into videogames and he hasn't produced comics for as long as many other famoue artists. Still, he was my favorite artist back when he did Battle Chasers (how angry I got when the series wasn't continued 🤯😜).
I cannot imagine the pressure he must have felt following his dad. I don't know how he keeps his hand from shaking. Jrjr is one of the legends in my book.
I really liked JRJR back in his early days at Marvel, when he was still being influenced by his dad and so many other greats. I really can't stand his more recent stuff.
Yep. It's a real strange fact. Look at JRjr art in 1982-83 it's FAR superior to what and how, he ended up illustrating now. All these legendary aging artists tend to truly believe they get BETTER at illustration with age? I've honestly never seen a single one of them that has!
The broken wrist is maybe the reason why his style suddenly changed in the 80's.
I saw it change alot at the end of the 80s. Then even more mid 90s. I dont dig the way he shades now.
Maybe, but I'd blame the inkers.
@@victorcabanelas All of them?
@@victorcabanelas why?

Didn’t know how much kind and simpathetic he is! Is the kind of cool bro you could spend hours and hours talking and sharing a beer for too long.
Yea, he’s my uncle, very nice and funny!

I actually enjoy his art. Sure his proportions can be weird but I like the blockiness of it. It reminds me of a cleaner Frank Miller
The Little Pasty I agree I love frank and jrjr's art
Frank and Jack Kirby, except Jack was a lil more abstract and a flowy storyteller.
True!

I love JRJR. One of my favourite comic book artists.

One of my favourite artists commenting on a video about one of my favourite artists, wow! :D
It’s JR Jr. Not exactly a master of rendering. You want to see detailed anatomy, look elsewhere.
Yes
His Punisher was on another level of awesomeness.
I really dig his style
What a cool chill dude...love the works he does
I love how he calls the mechanical pencil a robot pencil
I just love Jrjr's art style.
Nazed Munoz same
I used to. It used to look more human.

One of my favorite artist. In my opinion the best spiderman artist.
Yeah hes very skilled, my favorite spiderman artist is todd mcfarlane
Some say they dont like his overly stylized art. . . I actually dig it. . .
My gosh! I read comics for decades and I never thought about that "right-Left" stuff!
JRJR is the consummate comic book artist. Always love seeing him relate his craft and bust chops about the process.
Keep these type of videos comin! I live for comics

why does this video have so many dislikes?? The Todd McFarlane version of this also has a ton of dislikes
I already knew he was a great artist but until this video didn’t know JRJR has such a colorful personality too!
One of the greats, the 80's and 90's cemented him as the Marvel Standard. Solid story telling. God bless and strengthen JRJR, PEACE family of the pen.
love Jrjr's art but he needs a tight inker over his loose pencils. Bob Layton always did him proud and cleaned up his JR'isms
one of my all time favorite artists and one of the greatest story tellers panel to panel ever.
Armor Wars 2 was an awesome run- I loved how box-like Ironman looked
Loved his run on Spidey with Straczynski.
Johns run on Uncanny xmen was dope
Ha! Tony Danza. I guess he does kinda favor him. JRJR has always been one of my favorite comic artists!!
I love JRJR. Incredible artist (cartoonist) and storyteller: Such a nice dude, couldn’t have been more kind to me as a young kid.
He’s not one of my favorites but I could listen to him talk for hours.
Love his art style and also love the fact he is in a nice shape, looking healthy !
This guy needs his own TV show.
A total legend, met him once, he was very cool
Is it just me or is he built like one of his drawings
Fantastic. Loved his run on ASM.
The G.O.A.T
good work and thanks for the video.
I love JRJR! Thanks for making this video!
Greatest super hero comic artist ever to me.
What a legend!

One of the GREATS, 80's illustration Master.
I love his art. He was doing X-men monthly in the 80's so his version is my version of the X-men
They went from showing him do the structure to lighting the cape. They totally skipped him rendering the face and arm.
Cool drawing, but the video is more watching him talking than drawing
Seriously my favorite artist. I've followed him through the years. His Uncanny X-Men from the 90s blew my mind as a teen, helped motivate me to draw and develop my talent. Someday I'll own a signed sketch 😀
I am. Sure you're a great guy. Maybe it's a hectic schedule but I can draw you under the table any day of the week.
And yet, there you sit, with no professional gig. Pro-Tip: There's more to being a professional than technical ability alone. ;)
@@ScottGarrettDrums Funny you should mention that...stay tuned. Matter of fact May I use your name so I can prove it?
I love his Art Style ❤️
Saludos desde México!
I love these videos! the music, the artists, everything :D
We need a Joe Mad drawing video!
Isaias Santillan the dude is so underrated.

Malafakka i see your point
@@braylonrandle1731 Thanks. I hope he will draw some more. I really like his style and creativity.
Amazing! John Romita jr...The Best! .
That looks like a doodle I would have done in middle school to pass the time. Please tell me his finished stuff is better
Funny that we haven‘t seen any of your fantastic art in the last, uh, since forever.
wow i hope i can do something like that one day
I cannot imagine the pressure he must have felt following his dad. I don't know how he keeps his hand from shaking. Jrjr is one of the legends in my book.
One of the coolest people in comics.
Had no idea how brooklyn, jrjr is. always loved his stuff.

Hes using a metal paint chipped Red Kohinoor just picked up some on ebay but wonder if the paint is lead based.
Nice arm, cape and cowl
He's such a nice dude.
one of my favorite artist!
Always liked his art, especially the grittyness it’s even better to see what a cool dude he is.
Yeah me too. Its got charm. I really like his work on the Kick-Ass books.
JrJr is a legend!
JRJR and Dan Green on X-Men 190 and 191. Fantastic artwork!
John kinda looks like his characters.
Romita rules!
Loved him since he did daredevil with miller.
Always a fan of JRJR.
You and your dad are amazing
JR JR May be the modern King of Comics Artists
I love his art!! It's really sketchy in my opinion and even though he does have a broken wrist his art is still fairly decent.
JRSR and JRJR are extremely nice gentlemen and both are great artists!
Yo jrjr is jacked bro
JRJR is a great artist!!....the nicest guy....him and his dad!!!!
Love this 👍
That Batman is better than the Ben Affleck Batman costume, solely because of the bigger ears.
One of the best comic artists ever.
Best Spidey artist
Legend
I agree that Batman is the best character
Jonh Roita Jr the best astist of HQs
Dude's a great artist and a great showman.
He is so cool
He's so cool
Love the no nonsense workstation
Love the shirt!
He’s a very handsome daddy with nice arm and hands........😅 anyway... cool sketch 👏🏿👏🏾👏🏼👏👍🏿😉
JR JR is older than Frank Miller. Look it up. Its fascinating
That may be, but Frank looks like he's going to kick it before Stan!
Anyone know what kind of pen John is using?
He was using a lead-holder pencil (often used for drafting/technical drawing) for Batman, and used a Dixon Ticonderoga for his name.
Wait a minute, are you Tony Danza, or are you Tony Danza...... I actually read the bullpen.
Awesome cartun
Very nice! Whatever you do, don't call him Little John😉
Before I start this video I bet he will talk about making money and paying bills . I here we go
Este video me sale una y otra ves, pero no hablo Inglés no le entiendo y es de 2017... lo quieren renovar ?
Great video, great person
Not to argue with a master but uhm how does THAT batarang fit in the utility belt?
Broken wrist. Ahhh so thats what happened when his drawing took a nosedive after uncanny x-men
his style doesn't work well with some books. X-Men was not that great. His run on Ironman when he did Amor Wars 2 was pretty nice....
His Thor was amazing
@JiminyCriket Exactly, his Spider-Man is second only to his father, John Romita.
It was an ok drawing. Wish he would’ve inked it.
One of my favorite artists. Along with Sale and Timm.
