Jim Lee drawing process: 1. Begin a sketch 2. Make a sketch that looks amazing already 3. Draw the entire thing like it's nothing Yup... just gonna go back to my 5+ hour drawing of Bruce Wayne that doesn't come close to that 3 minute sketch.
Crispin Dry true but you wanna challenge yourself. I draw over 10 hours a day and I love it so much. If you’re not ready to dedicate yourself to become an artist like Jim Lee, then art is not for you. The only reason Jim became this good is not because he was a prodigy or anything. It’s because he practiced 10 to 15 hours a day! So if you want to become this good, you need dedication. You do have a point but to get the rewarding results, it won’t always be pleasurable and rewarding. It’s gonna be tough. You’re gonna need to try and push yourself (not too much) if you really want to become as good as Jim and literally become one of the best comic book artists if not the best comic book artist in history. If you wanna draw for fun, then sure. But if you want to really reach Jim’s level, you need to train hard and sometimes it won’t be pleasurable. Sorry for the long paragraph. I just had to prove a point. Anyway, have a great day! :)
@@crispindry2815 I disagree. Discipline is very necessary to achieve even a modicum of proficiency as a draughtsman. And if you are an aspiring comic book artist long days are simply what it takes. If you are a hobbyist fine, but any young aspiring artist who wants to make it their profession needs to realise that work ethic, not talent, is absolutely key. Only those that enjoy the process you describe as torture generally make it. I would say a minimum of four hours a day for at least a year (or it’s equivalent) is necessary, and you have to constantly practice, because it’s not like riding a bike.
the sad thing about these sketches that he was placing in peoples bags is that some of the people don't even know who Jim Lee is, at SDC C14I was having lunch when a guy said "hey what's this did you buy this?" and I said to him wow you got a Jim Lee sketch he said " who's jim lee"? He was kind enough to give me the sketch but man I know most people don't read comic books but they gotta watch out for people who don't know who comic book artists are.
It's driving interest getting sombody to know jim lee and perhaps buy a comics book out of curiosity is what it's meant for. Even if it does not end up into your best fan backpack it still will and make your day a bit better
step by step to the Lines and good visual Follow up te make a good illustration,Charcters are just ONE not many its a style makes different movements and gives energy depends what you like to Achieve ,great Job JIm ,Congrats @
FOR EVERYONE WONDERING: Hawkman's emblem is facing HAWKMAN'S RIGHT, not Jim's. It should look like its facing the to the left from the artist's perspective.
Again, I don't see it happening due to Jim Lee being one of the head of DC. I start to notice Marvel and DC they like to keep their specific awesome artist like tide nip with a long contract. If not, I would love to see Greg Capullo's run on Spiderman at somepoint, and again I don't see it happening!! Greg even admitted in a interview where he wanted to work on his side project series, but he cant due to working for DC he can not work on anything unless its Batman.
I'm about 90% certain that Spiderman appeared in an early issue or two of Punisher War Journal back in the 90s when Lee was doing the art. You could check that out
Weird how an artist known mainly for drawing superheroes would draw some random billionaire guy, not that I don't like variation but what the heel is the connection between rich boy Brucey and a superhero?
That makes so much more sense now! As if I was blind this whole time! I bet his butler Alfie or whatever his name is is probably some sort of superhero too! +Hafidz Murshidie
I never would have known, so while Aquaman is off fighting the Green lantern, Black manta who's actually Alfred takes on Superman? This is even deeper than I first thought+Hafidz Murshidie
As an artist, I reflexively cringed seeing him pour all that ink on batman's head, but the way he finessed it had me awestruck. Jim Lee masterfully makes it all look so easy.. Inspiring!
Can a hero please tell me what kind of materials does Jim use? Like, pencil, OK, but what pencil? What kind? What brand? Size of stroke, etc. I'm completely ignorant and I need the "for dumnies" version xD Sorry and thank you!
