He doesn't trace, he uses alot of referances,which is actually ok,he's still doing the work himself,every artist uses referance.Some more than others.Greg Horn :heart: and Greg Land but I hear that he traces and you can tell that his drawings are based off celebrities.
Yea I posted it here first on accident and then made one in misc comics. oh well...more people that respond the merrier.Isn't this a Misc. Comics Forum thread?
And right now, my favorites are Ron Garney, Luc Jacamon, Guy Davis, Becky Cloonan, Ryan Ottley and Tony Moore.
Maybe if we have some mentally challenged members here today.i wonder if anyone is gonna say rob liefeld
Ugh..can't stand JRJR. His style looks terrible. He'll never be as good as his dad.My favourite comic book artist is John Romita Jr.
Stan Lee has gone on record and said that he has no problem being called a co-creator. Marvel wouldn't be Marvel without Stan Lee or Jack Kirby...they needed each other.My favorite comicbook artist is the best comicbook artist.
He's known as "The King", because he's.....the King.
Walt Simonson said it best when he said that, if you aspire to be a comicbook artist, it's pretty much a conscious choice you have to make...."Am I going to draw in the Jack Kirby style, or not?"
Because Jack Kirby created the visual language of modern comics.
I don't really like his nickname..."King".....because it's too lowly for him.
He's not a "King", he's a "GOD".
Pretty much anything I've ever liked about comics can be traced back to him.
And Marvel comics would be N.O.T.H.I.N.G. if not for him.
F*** "Stan Lee"
Marvel is the house that Jack built.
He's God.
Countless people have built their livelihoods by getting up on his shoulders and then aping him. And I don't mean that as an insult.
He's so good, I feel that if you want to be a good comicbook artist, you have to be mimicking Jack Kirby, or it won't be good.
Jack effing KIRBY!
