NEW Friday Night Workshop February 27, 2015 

One of the most seen yet known artist. His work has been on so many records, posters, and metal genre! Love and miss Mr. Frazetta!

These are the tutorial's I wish I experienced in art college : /

Thanks for the video Jeff. I've watched the majority of the rest of your content on your channel and I have to say I'm very impressed. As someone who attended art school for years and spent lots of money and didn't really come out of there that developed (part of that was on me), I feel I've learned more listening to you than I did various instructors. I really feel like I connect to what you're saying. I want to enroll in your online school as soon as the chance presents itself. In the meantime I'll keep listening to what you have to say while I try my best to improve my skills on my own. I could listen to you all day.

Love your rants that emphasis everyone's potentiality and how art and everything else in life requires work and practice above all. It's really inspiring, especially to any young person, like myself, who is interested in art.

Jeff this is an absolute master class in the philosophy of inking and art , thank you so much for making this available , and not an ad break to be seen , easily the best video I've seen so far about inking , again thank you so much and damn , gosh you are incredibly interesting and talented , yet like the two great chicks from my own old school days , once gave me a purple paper wrapped present , when I once got out of hospital , with stars and luv hearts and written in fancy glitter pen on the wrapping , the words , " To Terry , the light of our lives , the sparkle in our eyes , and the other lump in the bed , luv Marqui and Lisa " and inside was a small wooden plaque with the words , " Everything gets easier with practice , except getting out of bed in the morning " all the greats reiterate that same thing you do , training , training , training , discipline , technique , hard work , the countless hours is what truly makes the difference . Raw talent only truly makes a difference for beginners in the early stages , studied at the level of masters , talent has practically no difference to why they are truly great , compared to the countless hours that go into the path of the master , yet by Fu*k your talented Jeff , my five cents worth says your a frickin virtuoso mate , but yes your , your own best critic , like any true master . 💎💎💎🎨🎨🎨💯💯💯

All hail the great frazetta! :D

For the person who asked how to draw from the imagination? I just watched a recent Paul McCartney interview and somebody asked him how to get good and fluent at writing songs? Paul said about 3 times in a row, "Do it often." Elsewhere, some guy studying what creates "success?", came up with the theory that the greats put in 10,000 hours to become "beyond normal" as an artist.

Thank-you as always, for sharing your knowledge, Jeff. So much good stuff!

I have recently figured out that i don't practices correctly. I am willing to put in the time in and I know I need to learn and relearn my craft but I could really use some help getting myself to start studying and practicing correctly. I have not had the gift of good teachers over the years. But I really want to push through this and better myself and learn how to learn all over again.

My prayers have been answered. Thanks a bunch you sweet man.

WOW...I never knew Jeff came from a SEQUENTIAL-WORLD and BACKGROUND!!! I love Frazetta, and grew up on his work. I am a portrait artist but started out doing comic characters. I love and collect as many of the old Warren magazines as I can. Creepy, Errie, and Vampirella are my favorites! There were so many great artists who inked their work in very classical styles and these people are who I gain so much knowledge from. The standouts for me were Ramon Torrants, Esteban Moroto, and Jose Gonzalez! But of course, there were so many more who were acclaimed in their own right.

Thank you very much, Jeff for sharing a little bit of tour knowledge. Priceless.

JEFF...your commentary is AWESOME as well!!!

Great stuff as always, Always enjoy listening to these

Thank you so much for sharing these workshops. They full my life with meaning and happiness, inspiration... You speak really clearly and sincerely when you teach, so full of content. I love love love to watch your workshops and practice, and hope to take some classes at the Atelier in the summer or fall. Really interested in the anatomy course and fine art inking.

thanks so much for these. Life changing and also changing the art education world.

Wow, amazing, loved it!! Thank you for sharing!

Thank you, this video just helped me A LOT right now.

I just came across your vids. You are a incredible artist. I honestly shied away from the idea of inking with a brush until I saw this. Your an inspiration of encouragement.

In the comic world, Jim Lee is awesome at using white out. He literally draws with it.

Brilliant work, Jeff!

Thanks for posting, discussing art in depth, and giving excellent insight into the life of an artist, and how a top of the line atelier is run... I am considering dropping the Jr. College Adult ed classes I'm taking and trying this...

This is the part of Art of what I missed and loved--I first looked at the length of the lesson--but then you pulled me in thank you Jeff.

i've been a little hesitant in pulling the trigger and signing up for the online class, but man an inking course would make it a sure thing. I've been trying to up my game with quills and brushes and i'm all but certain a watts atelier class would get me to the next level. lemme know when the class is up, i'll be all in .....

Superb lessons and demo. on ink. Thanks a lot..

I loved this video and it's so generous of you to upload 2:45 hours of content for the world to watch. The one thing that irked me was what you said at the 27:00 mark. You compared Frank Frazetta finessed ink renderings to that of Mike Mignola's or Frank Miller's style and concluded that their visual style is "dumbed down" so that they can execute their work faster. The subtext is that more finessed work is better art and that a simpler 'looking' work is lesser. That isn't the case. Mignola was notorious for taking a long time to create his Hellboy works because that's just how hard it is to create his highly designed art. The same goes for Frank Miller's highly composed black and white work. Don't be fooled by their simplicity and lack of rendering because they've influenced countless artists and films that went after them with their exquisite visual language. Frazetta, Miller and Mignola are the greats. But those who view these videos should heed that just because it takes longer to execute something doesn't mean that it deepens the art. Design and Simplicity is hard.

Brilliant. I was working and I was compelled to draw!

I wish we could purchase your course on a piecemeal basis. I don't like the idea of having to pay monthly, especially for the foundational components. Thanks for your free videos, you are the best on the internet.

wow, I love that dinosaur and car drawing!

I can't think of sufficient hyperbole to express my appreciation for this video.

Cool! A little advice: at 21 mins in you talk about bent brush tips. You can dip the tip in boiled water(don’t let it touch the glue) and after 30 seconds the hairs will straighten out. Not super healthy for your brushes, but very effective.

Fantastic.

Is there going to be an art program for inking in the online school?

55:33 Kyle T Webster the famous digital brush maker asking a question. i found that funny as hell.

Beginning of the painting，original author is by concept artist of China。he‘s name is 钟风华。

I don't fully agree that "anything you can do with a dip pen you can do with a brush." A dip pen is best suited for drawing in lines, whereas a brush is best suited for wash drawings or black and white ink drawings. Of course you can modify a brush in such a way to make it more suitable for line drawing. But in general with a dip pen, you can change the thickness at will with much more control over lines of differing lengths and curvatures, you can also create lines of almost unvarying thickness.

Thank you very much!Beautiful!And what do You paint?Mascara?Watercolor?Sauce?I do not understand, sorry!

Is inking actually offered?

You started at Dreamworks and Disney? Wow!

Tôi rất thích tranh vẽ của Họa Sĩ Frank Frazetta !

Will I be able to produce the same beautiful strokes with cheap synthetic brushes? I'm more of a dime-store artist who doesn't have a lot of money to go around, and the limit of my budget is india ink and 2 dollar brushes. Thanks and hope to see more ink-based stuff from you!

nice...

This is a great workshop video however I feel as though I'm a beginner to intermediate level artist does anyone have any recommendations for a course that is more my level? I would love to create work in this style in the future however I'm still in my early stages of drawing.

Paintings from penthouse magazines

New Sub √ - Love it :)

Hello Jeff May I use black gouache instead, for such work ? Will it work ?:P waiting for your thoughts, thanks!

No Wally Wood?

How good at drawing should I be before I get into inking?

After watching the video and listening to the great philosophical discourse I am now aware how utterly deficient I am and realize i am just a part time hack. At what point can one rightfully or morally sell their art skills or be unashamed at showcasing their "BobRossaties"?

I recognize the dinosaurs with bikers pic were you once known as Zook?

7:20 Jeff, were you the artist "Zook"? I always wondered what happened to that guy and found it odd that there was jack shit about him on the internet. I guess if he was a pseudonym for you, that would explain the lack of info about him. I admired the kinetic and frantic energy he was able to convey.

Not sure if anyone has noticed this, but the artist kind of sounds like Harry Anderson.

you are a phenomenal artist, i admire both you and erik gist, yours job is fabulose. brush I don't understand if it's size 00, or size 2 in general i am not sure if it is about size 0, or size 1, 000 or 3 also I do not know if there are brushes that can also be good for ink, which ones to look for if they exist between 5 and 10 euros, and how long a brush can last. I ask anyone who can answer me, used only pens and nibs, even of these I really don't know anything and unfortunately out of budget for art and a little bit of everything. wuesti i think i am widson that in my country on national amazon i find them from 20 to 30 euros each. I don't know the right size, of the 2 or 3 that could be used or if one is enough, but the prices have been these for a year, before much much less I'm reading. we are talking about professional brushes so right that they cost but precisely for this and for the increase even if I would like to try them for a long time I have not taken them and now they cost more and I am worse and I respect myself even less. I am grateful to anyone who answers, I ask in general, even if you recommend something in particular, I like art and drawing but I don't make good drawings but among those who look at the drawing there are real and talented artists.

I think that hand rendered ink and paint on paper will continue. As a professional cartoonist and painter,I not only refuse to submit to a world where everything may be denied us because tech has an off switch,but also because there is a palpable difference in physical existing art vs the over polished,anticeptic quality that is born out of the "app look". Remember,photography was supposed to be the death of painting. That presumption ended very quickly. I only produce work that exists as I exist,occupying space in the world. True art is an entity. Comics already have be a the slander of a disposable,trash quality. Will we now allow the facilitation of electronic convenience to render them pellucid ghosts as well? Not my work. Not great work. The sound of the pencil scratching at the Bristol is a song of life. You are an excellent artist and a fine teacher.

Mike Whriteson, heard of Bernie not Mike...

Brilliant business model 🤝 mutual benefit

was expecting better line quality.

Um, kinda of a personal question, is it strange to pursue art (to become a good artist), even if you were not born with talent, as in you were never very good at drawing in the first place?

whats the point?

1:45:40 Get a job that is not art.

BORIS shits on Frazetta, look him up
