Redrawing a Jack Kirby Fantastic Four page 

Very interesting. Also: projecting the drawing table on the wall is a pretty cool touch.

You are not only talented as a Comics artist, but a great teacher with great insights!

At first I was like, "oh no, why redoing something already good" but finally the exercise worthed it. It's very interesting. Thanks.

This is actually genius and the way it reads is amazing

Wow, the finished page and the thought that went into is awesome!

Great breakdown! Love the 1st vs 2nd (though I would never call the 1st 'boring')

I really enjoyed her reinterpretation. You just have to appreciate someone seriously exploring how Jack Kirby was expressing the action. I really do like how she minimizes the use of the panels showing an uncluttered flow of motion at the top. However, I LOVE the way Jack would use linear perspective and have the characters almost pop out of the page....so the bottom part of her illustration looks a little flat to me compared to Jack's. For example Cyclops firing his optic beams and being flung back. I didn't see Jack as trying to do comedy there. I really like his foreground and background implied with depth perception rather just merely right to left horizontal motion. All in all...I am VERY IMPRESSED with her conversation and fresh approach. I've subscribed. Love to see and here more.

This is another great study Elsa. I should start giving this method a try to get better with my environment work. Thanks for the motivation, Elsa.

Love it. Your deconstruction and analysis is sublime, I will use your system! Thank you. PS: I so, so much want you tablet!!!!!

I like the insight into your decision making process. Super interesting. Watching the step by step procedure is fascinating and makes one appreciate the final product that much more.

Love your videos. I went and bought the first volume of November when I looked up what you have worked on. Looking forward to digging in!

I missed these so much!!! Another fantastic video!

I loved watching your entire creative process to design the page.

Well done. A great video analyzing Kirby's work, as well as sharing your process in reinterpreting the scene, presented in a concise narrative.

Enjoyed the Tribute and got a kick out of thinking about the choices each artist was making. Thanks for this video.

wow, so much thought into this one page and each panel. Love seeing the initial simplicity of the drawings then the final product. Very powerful.

Im always amazed with this videos! A lot of helpful advices, it makes me feel excited to draw my own comic!

Your video is in credible thank you

Fascinating. Thanks!

That is RAD!!! really good interpretation of the King!

This video was so helpful to see the actual process in making a comic book panel, even with an unconventional starting point. I like how you showed the process above you at some points as well!

How is electro & everyone shooting the beams from the back of their heads, facing away from iceman?? And it looks like this big concentrated blast is only shooting the ice boulder out of iceman's hand, which looks as if somehow he was carrying it one handed. The comic panels kirby did make the reader visualize what's unseen between the panels, and one can perfectly visualize the villains hitting iceman overhead, and this concentrated blast remaining on him as he hits the ground at the far right panel. You can literally visualize this continued blast on iceman as he's hitting the ground, because of kirby's unbelievably clear view of what the imagination can see between the panels. IT give the reader the feeling of urgency, and you see cyclops attempting to help him bottom left, he shoves him out of the way, and in turn gets blasted himself, and it beautifully leads you to the next page. Your bottom panel has cyclops falling back in a left direction, which upsets the flow of the left to right action. In kirby's bottom right panel, as cyclops is thrown back, it looks as if he's about to be thrown right out of the comic page, while with your page nothing is coming forward at all, it looks as if its all falling back into the page which makes it all look flat. Honestly, your style and work is very good but presently because you only have a very basic understanding on line weight, and most importantly using those lines to prompt the mind's eye to visualize and see what's not there, which kirby to this day had an unmatched mastery of, there really isn't anyone who can reinterpret kirby's work. Kirby always was and always will be the greatest artist of any medium because the heart of any page he did wasn't in his explosions, or for that matter anything the reader could visually see on the page, but the action the reader saw in his imagination that his drawings provoked that carried the reader to the next panel.

Basically the best comic artist channel on RU-vid. Amazing.

This is beautiful

In a different story Eel with electricity similar to Electro and Unicorn defeated both Iceman and Cyclops. How powerful they are varies with stories although maybe had more time to charge power source in other story.

I really liked this video looking forward to watching more of your stuff

beautiful ! I really like the contrast between the scenes sometimes interrupted by lasers or the characters

Came across you thanks to Tom King, I am not a creator but have been loving looonng time comics reader

I'm so thrilled i stumbled upon your channel, your videos are incredible!

I just discovered your channel. Subscribed. Hope you plan to make more videos, these are fantastic!

wow, thanks for video!

Il faut vraiment un maximum de vos vidéos dans ce monde. A chaque fois, j'ai l'impression qu'on m'ouvre les yeux sur pourquoi j'aime cet art. Votre page est sublime et votre vidéo très instructive

Stumbled across this from following love everlasting, and have even more fallen in love with your work!

I love your art work, and I enjoy your videos like this. I recall particularly the breakdown you did of Mazzuchellis work in Batman Year One. Made me notice things that just went over my head the first 50 times I read that classic.

Great work Elsa!

Thank you for sharing this.

Very thoughtful choices. It looks great - i like the little rectangular, divided unit of bad-guys. Cheers, And Merry Xmas to you "LiL'JpD."

THIS IS AMAZING!

That was awesome, thanks a lot!

Intro was literally so cool

Thank you for this look into your process! I’ve been looking forward to this book, and appreciate all the different interpretations. Your use of comedy in the final beat was great!

génial ! Et super intéressant ! Merci beaucoup

J'aime beaucoup ce que vous faites bravo pour votre travaille 😊👍

Great artwork!

!! Awesome!💥

Outstanding!

Very nice work.

Amazing video

Only Mandarin would use a laser, Melter dissolves materials can be set to dissolve flesh does not call a laser, Electro shoots electricity. Unicorn uses a uni-beam although don't know what form of energy it is. Beetle doesn't shoot energy. Jack Kirby's picture did not show any energry from the melter although could be behind another beam although might be meant to be invisible beam if he used one was not explained in Jack Kirby's version.

She really is a genius. Subscribed!!!

love the book.

Ta recréation de la page est, comme toujours, incroyablement instructive et le résultat est d'autant plus impressionnant qu'on sent parfaitement l'esprit de Jack Kirby dans le résultat. Ça donne vraiment le sentiment qu'il aurait totalement pu faire ce type de composition si il avait été comic book artiste au delà des années 90. Et la composition finale allie parfaitement charme old-school et modernité. Un grand bravo, et merci encore pour la réflexion et l'inspiration qu'apportent ces vidéos !

Très impressionnant, j'ai l'impression que la manière dont tu te passe de cases rends l'action plus continue et donne une sensation d'accélération.

Un artista en un estudio con todos los materiales es como un niño en una jugueteria

am i jealous much re;;; how big her digital screen is.....cheeyaaa...i gots only a 22' planar touch monitor...trust me fellow artists, the bigger space that you have to draw on, [ either paper or digital] to make the big sweeps of the arm and locked wrist, is most benefishal in the final outcome of your vision of what you draw or paint

hank you Elsa... I wish you give us insights of the French-Belgian comics artists! their techniques... how they are different? Thanks again! :)

Taken aback by the casual F bomb 😬

Incrível.

Pongo los subtítulos al español y me aparecen en francés.

Repent and trust in Jesus. We all deserve Hell for our sins, such as lying lusting coveting and more. We can't save ourselves, but Jesus can save us. He died on the cross to save us for our sins and rose from the grave defeating death and Hell. You must put your faith in him only. He is the only way to Heaven. Repent and trust in Jesus. Romans 6:23 John 3:16❤😊❤

How dare you... cow.
