Steve Rude Gives us a Look Inside his Latest X-Men and Superman Projects 

Phenomenal talent. Just love to see your work and process.

Damn, you're insanely talented. I study your "Artist In Motion" book often.

Just found your page! Awesome videos, nice to see a professional open and sharing everything!

What a major talent! Steve, have you ever considered going on Ethan Van Sciver's RU-vid stream to promote your latest projects? I'd enjoy that. Thank you for years of entertainment. I look forward to many more. Cheers.

I never thought I needed to see a power signature for Marvel Girl's/ Jean Grey's telekenisis until now! Love it! Question: What would you recommend to an artist that is hired to adopt a house style for animation or comic books? I thought about what your process was after recieving such remarks of high esteem from one of the Hannah-Barbera animators.

Really great to see more of Steve's sketchbooks! Has Steve the Dude looked at the Famous Artists Course? Also another question regarding gouache, are the paintings in gouache varnished after they are finished? Gouache is quite chalky when dried and a fragile medium.

Inspiring and instructive as always.

Thanks for the glimpse into your creative process. Your observations are really informative. Picking up on Mr. Rude's comment about using real life references for the lighting in his paintings, does he model his renderings of people on anyone? At times I've noticed a resemblance to him or Mrs. Rude in his work. Also, is it difficult to go back and forth between working on realistic paintings and traditional comic book style art? I read somewhere that John Romita Sr. found it difficult to do a painting of one of his famous Spider-Man covers, after years of mostly pencilling and inking, despite doing a lot of painted poster art early in his career. Thanks and Happy Thanksgiving to the Rude family! 🦃🙂👍

YOU SAID THE GUASH BECOMES REACTIVATED CAN IT BE OVER WORKED/ DAMAGE THE CANVAS/PAPER? I NEVER USED IT BEFORE? ALSO HOW DO YOU UTILIZE THE SHADING VERSUS THE COLOR THUMBNAIL? I USUALLY USE SHADING WHILE COLORING IME NOT VERY GOOD WITH COLORS. GREYSCALE IS WHERE I TEND TO DABBLE

And, brother, invest in some cough drops to clear up that constant throat tickle of yours--unless it's just a nervous habit.
