Yeah absolutely. And it works for animation and character design -- very contemporary even today in the world of humanoid robots and exosuits. That's awesome you enjoyed the show. Happy Drawing!

Thank you, this video is SO OLD! I need to redo it -- it gets more views than all the hundreds I've done since. Pity, really. Anyway, thanks for the follow. @thatdrawingshow

Yeah supposedly he just started with a blank page in the upper left corner and plowed until he got to the bottom-right.

Thank you for watching. Kirby is as fresh and relevant today as ever -- his style is perfect for a dystopian future -- in fact there is a great issue of Captain America / The Falcon where they find themselves in a small western town governed by a local tyrant who recreates '1984' in the town. Capt goes and saves everyone. Look for that if you can online -- I should make a show about it.

I tried asking some of the Generative AI sites to 'generate' characters in the style of Jack Kirby. The results weren't even close. For what it's worth, there still IS something to practice and study and learning to draw and be an artist about things yourself. Thanks for watching!

Hahah yeah -- Sabbath forever.

So here's the thing -- the drawing is really THINKING. Once you have basic command of the materials and you can draw circles and straight lines and you know anatomy and you can draw a basic figure passably well -- then what? Artists like Kirby answer that question. By copying you rework through the same problems he faced, and discover his solutions -- and then practice them. It's a thinking exercise -- why did this guy zig instead of zag in this particular situation, or this part of the body. See what I mean?

hahah -- X, Y, Z -- these are common terms in geometry. Not just drawing or graphics -- fundamental middle-school math. Z dimension. Standard stuff.

Typically American thinking. I guess if you can't cope with a silent u in the word colour you can't cope with something as simple as d stands for dimension.

You know, I honestly don't know, and I don't have them handy for reference. My experience seeing/buying them at shows is that they are all great -- full of interesting essays and original artwork.

Thank you for your support.

Sure man, I'll look for that option in the future.
