these old techniques can often feel like a lost alchemy, but your powers of explanation are very illuminating. thank you

[NirousPlayers]

His clouds are absolutely unbelievable.

[cperucini]

Doré´s work was mostly design or illustration, he did not make his own engravings. He had a whole team doing the block-cutting for him.

I liked how she mentioned that she added the eclipse just because she saw one over her house. She says it so casually like "oh I found a bee on a flower in the park the other day". As if it was the most casual thing in existance. 😂😂 You can tell she loves to daydream.... I will subscribe.

[MarkArandjus]

It's insane how much art he produced, let alone this detailed.

[et_puis]

There's something very meditative about doing such art.

The patience one needs and steadiness of heart, mind and hand puts you in a very distinct State of Mind.

Contour hatching was always what I was trying to do but didn't have as examples of how to restrain it. Miura of Berserk fame is an absolute master of it and greatly has influenced me.

Wow, impressive! I have a couple of big books illustrated by Doré, but never had the courage to try copying his work. Never even scrutinized it the way you do. Your tip in one of your other videos about starting with a well-chosen small part to copy is especially appropriate here. Your drawing is great, and so is your teaching. Short videos, straight to the point. You also reminded me of two things: "be daring and don't fear failure". Thanks!

[jonpaul]

How these art people got their perceptions is just amazing for me.

[flytetime]

Thanks for explaining his techniques. I discovered his work at a publisher I worked for because they published books of his art. Doré’s Paradise Lost artwork is phenomenal.

[smashingtheadam]

That's gorgeous. And I love your take with the crow people!

[eddiemorin]

Tremendous imagination and great hand skils. Nothing short of genius.

[walterkummer]

Once in a while, the algorithm works... I am so glad it put you in front of me. This video is excellent and your ink work is beautiful.

I’ve been trying to adapt his technique into my comic book art. Which takes forever, but it allows the comic to not need color. What a brilliant artist Dore is.

[IllustratedManOfficial]

Dore is amazing. I love seeing the lineage from Dore to Booth to Wrightson. Great video!

[TheFishSandwichShow]

Wow those birds are awesome. I am using ink pens but never tried dip pens. Thanks for showing fore going to library tomorrow to see if I can get some books on his works

[BobR-bo]

Beautifully done! I hadn't even heard of Dore before, his works are incredible!

[robertkelly]

I'm a huge Dore fan. Thanks for this.

[supersonico]

As a kid I remember a book with this type of drawings I couldn’t read back then but I’d stare at the drawings fascinated by them it is today I learn it was Dore’s art… can’t believe it how things keep finding me

[evilcritter]

I really love these masterclasses. Trying to learn by copying can be overwhelming, so focusing in to understand the mark making rather than trying to replicate a full image is such a great approach.
