Jack Kirby was a rare and sublime talent. Thank you for this wonderful hommage. :)

@mostafafarweez3161 Год назад

They really should do a documentary on Alex Ross. His work is so incredible and I wish there was a course in paining tutored by him ))

@ShootMeMovieReviews Год назад

I think these videos are a better documenting of his work than you could expect in a single documentary film.

Isn't what you're watching one?

@justinblessing6119 Год назад

I just read your new FF book last night, Mr. Ross. Beautiful work, thank you so much for the gift of further exploration into this world Jack Kirby defined. To live on in the hearts of others is to never die, Rest in Peace Mr. Kirby.

Your illustrations always leave me gawking in amazement, you have inspired my wife to draw as you do and it has proven to result in her absolute best works. Thank you for giving us such beautiful work.

@grahamandlukecollectables8538 Год назад

Bless my daughter. I been feeling a little low lately as I am currently out of work. My 15yr old daughter brought me the Amazing Fantastic four full circle. I wanted this so much. I love my daughter for all eternity.

@SpiderHam Год назад

Your commentary is wonderful! I really appreciate the insight into your process as well as sharing what you’ve learned from studying Kirby through his work and your own drawing all these years. Thank you!!

@AnibalLopezLenci Год назад

amazing drawings. Isnt still in Perú. I used to draw fantastic four in my childhood, like Jack Kirby too...

@SatenSheets Год назад

I love the content, you're a real professional. Jack Kirby was an art giant, he deserves to live on through inspired works and people forever talking about him. Though I'm a huge Ditko fan, Jack was always the better artist in my opinion. or atleast, I think his artwork was more unique. I wouldn't' worry about the industry actually caring about the work of creators anytime soon hahahaa. all we can do is hope for a change.

@TheComicBookReport Год назад

Love how much you’re going behind the scenes on your Full Circle process. That book was wonderful 👏

@jj_eringa Год назад

Alongside Arkham Asylum, this may be visually my favourite looking graphic novel of all time. It is utterly gorgeous - there's even more than just a hint of Druillet in here I think, alongside the inherent Kirbiness, with those crazy colours and gorgeous sci-fi imagery

@gokhanersan8561 Год назад

Alex Ross is the sound of reason and artfulness in this world of Superheroes.

@gavindennis9988 Год назад

I just looked up Gary Conway, and I came across some pictures of him with an actress named Deanna Lund, who co-starred on 'Land of the Giants'. Anyways, they both look *very very* similar to Sue and Reed, though the show didn't come out until 1968.

@wkylegreen Год назад

Awesome artwork! It’s really refreshing how intentional you are to respect the creator’s vision and history with the characters.

@Joshuaadepoju9709 Год назад

Mr Ross... I'm a fan from Nigeria your style of painting has given me inspiration for me to start my own superhero comic company 🌹

@brodeyleembruggen9910 Год назад

Alex Ross is a Master 📜🖌️👨🏻‍🎨🎨📓

@ShootMeMovieReviews Год назад

Wow I just googled Gary Conway and he REALLY looks like a Jack Kirby drawing. It's amazing, in a way. You'd swear his physical existence was actually modeled on Kirby's art.

@danlewis7707 Год назад

Keep it up man. Your work has inspired me and many millions more since the late 90's and that first Wizard Magazine article I read about Marvels! Love your work.

@malcolmreid8632 Год назад

Full circle was one of my favourite books of the year, earlier this year I bought a collection of Lee and Kirby’s FF and so I really enjoyed your take on Kirby’s style

@mr.dccomics9018 Год назад

Alex Ross best is in DC.

@Postc0ital_mal0ne Год назад

Lol. Prolly some of the one too thing they got going.

@Emmuzka Год назад

Ross' works were the first time that I saw water color used in super hero illustrations. It blew my mind at the time, as it was like he was breaking some fundamental law of how super hero comics could be done. Later I also found Havok & Wolverine : Meltdown (by Simonson, Muth and Williams) and saw what this small revolution could do to comics in a later time.

@ion-shivs Год назад

Beautiful work, Alex Ross. And I love that you're sharing all of this with us through well-produced videos.

@TheAlexRossArt Год назад

Glad you enjoy it!

@abrahamz3826 9 месяцев назад

I just want to say you inspire me. I’m just starting out but I want to write and draw comics someday too.

@willpower8061 Год назад

I wish Hollywood did the kinda research you choose to do for characters like these.

@Mr.8point5 Год назад

My book will arrive tomorrow. So excited.

@arnelflandez3260 Год назад

Thank You for your wonderful inspirational artwork and for your paying homage to legendary comic book artists. Your artwork sort of reminds me of a Norman Rockwell style in the Modern era per se. I especially love your video on your Wolverine artwork.

@TeddyLeppard Год назад

Fantastic art from a fantastic artist.

@serginhoyamabuchi2004 Год назад

Simply the Best , Master !!!

@Dizzy247365plus Год назад

Just as I recognized Russell Johnson in your design of Reed Richards for years, I immediately recognized Gary Conway as I was a big fan of Land of The Giants in syndication growing up. I think Conway is an excellent choice because it reconciles Kirby's standard physique for Reed which was retconned by John Byrne years later who couldn't justify a man like Reed having such a physique. Sue is clearly now DEANNA LUND. They both look amazing. 🤩

@cesarm2195 Год назад

Comic book artist and colorist who makes heroes look like gods 🙌

Amazing skills even the great Bob Ross would be proud of you.

Alex Ross: The Boss

@Graphicxtras1 Год назад

Definitely, Reed's stretch power was the least interesting thing about him, Reed Richards was always a wonderful character (as was Sue).I have no idea how Reed actually looks, much the same as Susan Richards, especially if you compare how they looked in FF1 to most of the stories since. Though that is the case with many characters, you have a few brush strokes to make it look like Bruce Wayne or Peter Parker or Aunt May, the reader adds the rest. Everyone will have their own view of Reed or Sue etc. Interesting about Gary Conway, doesn't seem like my Reed at all ! Superb video was ever - love these discussions of the work (which is amazing)

@d36williams Год назад

I looked up Gary Conway and I've definitely seen his face in Kirby's work

@JoeYT23 Год назад

I would love a black and white edit!

@mannieabeleda235 Год назад

awesome artwork,sir. big fan.

@e.villanueva7741 Год назад

el trabajo de Alex Ross es realmente increíble, un genio!

@d36williams Год назад

Alex Ross is perceptive, I had never thought of Reed Richards in that manner, but it seems so clear now.

@Ramonesaehs Год назад

Just amazing!

@refugiobanda7227 Год назад

Beautiful insight into part of your process. Always love these videos. Question. What's the bottom name.on your tshirt? Kirby, Ditko and ??? Thank-you.

@jeremymiller3305 Год назад

I feel very inspired you go into incredible detail of what real life person you use to create a character's face! When I listen to your words about a topic, I marvel at the beautiful drawings you have shown! Really nice you know the actor you are using his face! Wow I have to check up on Land of the Giants!

@SDW90808 Год назад

Also, Burke’s Law which is what I thought of first.

Art beast.

@erichunt5207 Год назад

I am far removed from the world of comics other than the hype certain shows received in the 90s and upwards through cartoons/tv shows/movies growing up. As an artist though, I can definitely say that these universes cam help me to learn and grow in SO many ways. I am thankful that the genre exists and that so many men and women put their time into the artform.

@417Graphix Год назад

Jim Lee and David Finch do similar things, their face structures on their characters always look similar

@mesolithicman164 Год назад

I saw the Gary Conway thing straight away.

@rayo1366 Год назад

i'm curious as to who johnny was modeled off of, since it seems like the entire FF got recasted in Ross' later drawings. Reed with Conway, Susan with Lund, Ben with a doll, but Johnny's face eludes me

@JimmyCee123 Год назад

When will some of these amazing pages be available for sale?

@thewolf01x95 Год назад

I got the book a few weeks ago' I love it . Thank you for being such an inspiration to a fellow artist mr Ross.

@trodat07 Год назад

That's true, Reed Richards is supposed to look exactly like The Professor from Gilligan's Island. Gary Conway is another good pick though.

@txmoney Год назад

Of all the interpretations, I prefer John Byrne’s Fantastic Four…especially Reed Richards. In fact, I think his run on FF was the pinnacle of his career, both in writing and illustration.

@williambrown6185 Год назад

the charcater in the dark remind me of Freddy Mercury. not sure if thats on purpose. ive enjoyed the Book immensely. andIm not even a FF fan. I would love to see books that pay tribute to toher marvel Artist. I love Dave Cocrum on Xmen, so to me that would be awesome.

@diobrando7759 Год назад

Wil you ever use 20 to early 30 models for your Justice League the model reference you use always look like 40-60 yr range.

@adonaiukpe8033 Год назад

Hello Alex, i really love your approach to realism in your comics, i too am practice how to draw realistic looking characters, but in a stylized fashion/way, artist like Tomm cocker etc are what am trying to develop my own style from. I have a problem drawing character faces from different angles and still maintain the look of the characters, same thing with body/anatomy/poses. How do you approach drawing from different angles, poses etc and still maintain the right figure of a character

@SDW90808 Год назад

I don’t know the answer to your question, but he did a video where he showed how he used clay models to get the effect he wanted. James Gurney also did a video where he showed how he did something similar when he was painting dinosaurs.

@electric_pencil Год назад

If I may offer some advice; study from life and learn the anatomy of the subject. You don't have to memorize the names of muscles but you should be able to see in your mind's eye, what is it you're trying to draw. If you can't imagine what it is, reference material can help. But the key to being competent at what you're doing is practice, practice, practice. Honestly, there's no shortcut. For most artists, it's just hard work. For the few "talented" types, _some_ things come easier but that's all. FWIW, draw everything, all the time. No matter how mundane you think it is. Each drawing is a learning experience, so don't be picky on your subject matter. Also, and this is a matter of opinion, stay away from style until you learn to draw competently. Your own style will develop as you learn to solve drawing problems. Artistic heroes are great to study from but don't fall back on someone else's style to accomplish something. You'll forever trap yourself. Learn to do things *your* way and someday people will be studying your style and techniques.

@isuriadireja91 Год назад

to me the actor, Bruce Greenwood (Capt. Pike, in the newer Star Trek movies) look the closest to Ross' and Kirby's face of Reed Richards.

Gary Conway Land Of The Giants. perfect Reed Richards!!

@gokhanersan8561 Год назад

Fantastic Four and Avengers weren’t just “characters” like David Copperfield or something. They were graphic art, pop-art on steroids as Jack Kirby imagined their worlds. Filmmakers unfortunately tossed all of that out the door.
