Illustrator Reacts to Good and Bad Comic Book Art

I have a huge amount of respect for all of the artists I cover in today's video regardless fo whether I'm talking about some good or bad art from their career.

I've loved watching the trend of professionals reacting to good and bad things in their own field of work. The Corridor Crew's videos of 'VFX Artists React to Good and Bad Special Effects' is currently my favourite series on youtube (partially because I used to work in special effects). But in general it's always interesting watching well studied professionals talking about their craft. Another particularly fun one has been watching LegalEagle go through court and trial episodes of It's Always Sunny in Philadelphia. For anyone who hasn't seen the two shows being referenced, here are links to both!

Real Lawyer Reacts to Reynolds v. Reynolds (Cereal Defense) It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia

Since I've been a professional illustrator and animator for 7 years now, I figured it'd be fun for me to break down what may have gone very right or very wrong in some of comics best and worst pages and panels. In this episode I break down some classic artwork including the infamous Rob Liefeld Captain America cover with his crazy wonky chest, Jim Lee's aversion to drawing feet, Milo Manara's controversial, busted looking Spider-woman as well as work from Kenneth Rocafort, Greg Capullo, FCO Plascencia, Francis Manapul and Humberto Ramos.

I hope you enjoy and learn a little something about the process of making comic book art from composition, the inking and coloring process or general anatomy. Thanks for watching!

5:51 i was scared that my man was gonna show his butt for demonstration

[HDelirious-nmcm]

Comic book artist : People saying my art look ridiculous and weird.
Anime : First time?

[erocketman]

Spider-Woman looks like she has on body paint

[josh.]

Tumblr Artists ragging on Liefeld: WHERE ARE THEIR ORGANS, ROB?

Rob Liefeld: They're in Captain America's chest cavity.

[CommentingOnThis]

As someone who's self taught and knows a few that are as well, if that artist just picked up a few books on anatomy or had a model, he probably would've had better results and awareness.

[PopCross]

"Pretend my knuckles here... are the butt." might be my new favourite sentence I've said on this channel 😝

[seanpattison]

I thought Rob Liefield was the anti-feet guy. He legit draws feet all janky and wierd.

[xdrustyy]

It’s funny because the “bad” drawings are a lot better than my drawings.

[bronzetiger]

I've always thought that Spider man and Spider-woman were SUPPOSED to be "weirdly jointed", attributing to the purposely uncanny positions.

[Torthrodhel]

"Let's give him the benefit of the doubt"
*sees actual art*
Um... nah let's not. Deadpool's cool n'all, but it'd be a fair price to pay.

[allicare]

Its not Jim Lee who has issues with feet, its Rob Leifeld, theres proof of that. When Liefeld does draw feet they look weird

[krenwregget]

it's Rob Liefeld who famously avoids drawing feet, not Jim Lee.

[Jasonixel]

Me watching this alone: *wholesome art content*

When my parents walk in: “Pretend my knuckles here are the butt.”

[mohammad_muttaqi]

Finally, somebody is appreciating Francis Manapul's great artwork in The New 52 Flash

[drakkarlogan]

Jim Lee draws feet just fine. Rob Leifeld is known to not draw feet.

[VZAAGE]

I really dig these react videos and I was pleasantly surprised to see a quick sample of one of my videos. Keep up the great work.

[NeutralGuyDoubleZero]

Rob liefeld only deserves some credit for deadpool. He made the design but the actual personality behind the character had nothing to do with him.

[bbenjoe]

Guy looks like somewhere between Daniel Radcliffe and Jim Carrey :D

[TheTractorjaws]

"Toilet bowl" the word you're looking for is vortex.
