Adam Hughes - Anatomy of a sketch, Pt4 - Requests

[501to510]

ALL ART IS REAL ART!!!!! just like the guy said. There are people, including very young children who for the first time painting have created works that have sold for many thousands. Works that may seem as crap to many dons the walls of the very rich. therefore ALL ART IS REAL ART regardless of ones opinion.

[TheLesElliott]

can someone tell me what pens he is using? faber castel pens... specific names please!!

[shindemo]

@TheLesElliott in part 3 he says he's using normal faber castell pitt pens :I and the big one's are sharpies

[samjdnn]

TEN DOLLARS!!!!

[ZimboFromOuterspace]

Talent may not be all you need, but it helps a lot and skill emerges from talent. Another thing that is really important is the artistic eye... not everyone has it. Adam Hughes is a top artist and has a great sense of form and dynamics

[dasOiOsad]

haha the guy in the background at 1:51 said whitefish montana, thats where i'm from!!

[ohdeasu]

he;s like alphonse mucha but for comics. with less flowers. and not dead.

[boredmuch04]

booobsss



[DeaneGoodie]

What kind of pen he uses for outline?

the pen he uses after penciling?

Thanks!

[brutalaj]

@DeaneGoodie he said faber castell pittt pens, earlier in the previous videos.

[dwhitedewil]

BOOBZZZ...LMAO

[PirateKing666]

brush pens are the greatest the brush look with none of the mess.

[macjsus]

Is that a faber castel pen?

[wiiagent]

Adam Hughes is the best!

[flex077]

true it does take hard work and dedication but it is the talent that is needed as well. some people work hard but dont reach the same level as other people. thats why some artists are better then others.

[AWGMJANS]

AH ??? Albert Heijn

[DemiGodofDreams]

That is precise as fuck. Damn your good

[Skeezyhouse]

1:20 haw haw, i wanna sell this on ebay. please don't put my name on it. i mean, uh...it's for a friend.

[Skeezyhouse]

adam hughes does the best star wars i've seen.

[ClaudiaMSutton]

His anatomy is spot on.

[digimonsandrmon]

witch con are you at

[lKILLGIANTS]

fuck; that is one beautiful job done on the inking

[mcapps1]

jumping around on a drawing keeps you from over-working an area and you get a fresh look at it when you come back to it...it's sub-conscience, new artists tend to obsess on one thing...pros learn it because it speeds the process, remember! we get paid by the piece.

[ltiger12]

i would hate to draw in a place like that theres no privacy and theres a lot of noise there so u cant really concentrate if u need concentration

[jakespnl463]

everybody its just a video your having a ludacris comment about what is talent.from my point of view talent is anything you want to be drawing/painting/acting singing and so on like art for instance it has no defination because there are so many types of it

[BEStrongDrummer]

Everybody keeps discussing talent and I think the talent portion of art doesn't come from how well you can draw. I believe anyone can learn how to draw with hard work and practice. The talent is how to take the knowledge of how to draw something and use it in a way that is creative. Especially for comic artists in how they have to use their abilities to tell a story in a creative and non-repetative way to keep a reader interested.

[Siterjuu]

There is no such thing as talent. People you say who have "talent" are just people that do what they love wich leads to them spending alot of time on it to improve. It's just how dedicated you are to learn rendering skills (wich anyone can learn) and ("talent" ->) obtaining information to feed your brain for ideas (consciously watching movies,- reading,- interacting with people, ...).

[BallpointRubber]

-can you tell me about if you have any preferences and the kind of things people would ask you to draw ?

-Boobs.

What an awesome guy

[loredo182]

talent have limits, the effort and practice no

[MrCurlyRoy]

Nice, looks like something I've once drawn. Can't remember what it was, but nice vid.

[supermuscle24]

um..it has to do with with talent.. its in your genetic code to have the skills to draw ..if everyone was dedicated then the business would be overwhelmed with people like you...editors only take the ones who have the talent and a good work ethic

[Bottery]

I hate when people say someone has a lot of talent. Talent has nothing to do with it, it's hard earned skill and dedication.

[goshyn00]

I strongly disagree. I would say that skill has a LOT to do with becoming a professional. But you need the talent to start off with to become that good. there are a few people who go to school because they just enjoy it and have had no talent. but a majority of people who do it for a living have some natural ability in drawing and thinking creatively or visually

[thecurse23]

there is no such thing as talent. we're not born with any sort of special ability which allows us to control the pencil any differently then the next person. we just draw... and keep drawing... the more you draw the better you get. i started at the age 4 and im almost 25 now. anyone can draw. you just have to do it and keep at it.

[goshyn00]

uh, then what would you call thinking with certain parts of your brain more so than other. Everyone is more apt to using certain part of your bran more so which denotes whether or not a person is more apt to think logically, mechanically, creatively etc. Yes you have to work to develop that but you need to have to think naturally to do it in the first place. Thus having "Talent". some people may have similar talent which is where work comes in, but that doesn't mean it doesn't exist.

[thecurse23]

that's a good point, i can't argue with that. but anyone can draw, and how well they do it mostly based on the amount of practice put into it. you don't really need any sort of "talent".

[73joramone]

I totally agree. Practice is everything, whatever if it's music, sport or drawing!

[TheFranc77]

I disagree. what makes you keep drawing since 4 and not the others? what makes other kids play basquetball, football and become stars, and not the others? what makes a kid like to play and instrument and become a musician, and not the others? its a natural born predisposition. and some of them has really stronger skills than others. talent does exist. altough wasted talent and hard-worker achievers also exist.

[StridingMan]

well, the question is what is talent?

the only talent you need is to have the passion to practice drawing/painting or whatever you want to do for hours and hours. days and days. weeks and weeks. years and years.

keep your focus and practise. that is talent for me

[thecurse23]

i agree with you 100%. it's like saying that there was no hard work or countless hours of practice put into it. it's demeaning to the artist and all the effort the artist puts into his or her work

[fmshazam]

Ne...talent alows you not to have to necessarly go to arts school or wathever to be good at drawing. If you take someone that doesn't have a talent for drawing and teach him for 25 years his probably gonna be good at it. But if you take someone who has a talent for it, he could achieve twice better the same picture the other guy did in 25 years, but only in maybe 25 minutes and without any practice. That's what talent is about.

[Bottery]

That's not talent, that's having the passion to draw and learn. If you make someone, who doesn't have a passion for drawing, draw for 25 years, they wont do anything. Meanwhile, you have someone who actively wants to learn, they will reach the sky. Even the most "talented" artist starts out drawing stick figures.

The only talent needed for drawing is basic motor skills, a pen, and paper.

[thecurse23]

@fmshazam

that's kind of true, but even those with "talent" don't start off drawing masterpieces... it takes time and practice, regardless. some people just catch on quicker

[fmshazam]

Well...exactly that's my point. Talented people manage to do this things more naturatly with less effort and practice.

[animoon]

@Bottery I wouldn't go as far as to say that talent has NOTHING to do with it; that's absurd! Talent is essential. A person who doesn't possess a natural artistic talent may practise and work hard all his life, but will never achieve the same quality as the naturally talented artists. As an artist myself, I know this for sure. Although of course you are also right in saying that dedication and practise are very important too, even for the talented.

[vitz]

@Bottery I agree that it's 99% practice and dedication, but saying that talent has nothing to do with it is just fooling yourself. It may play a very small part in becoming a successful artist, but it's there. And it's one of the many reasons why we're so different from one another.

[candyfrogsarethebest]

@Bottery so true, though i don't want to deny that talent exists.

[SatansMullet]

@Bottery not always, i have seen TONS of people who just automatically just OWN the talent.

[pgf95]

@Bottery I say that every day.

[prettyballoon]

@Bottery It's both things, not one or the other alone.

[KoFFreaK91]

@prettyballoon Talent is the thing that gives you motivation to start with art, but later on its just dedication and definitely WILL... When i got into art school, everybody was like "yeeea... its easy for you, you have talent", and nobody thought of how i everyday spent hours drawing and improving my style and skill... nobody is born with all knowledge... ;)

[Kitsushika]

@KoFFreaK91 I got to an art school and its so annoying how many people i see come in who just expect that the school is going to give them talent, when a lot of the better artists have been drawing since they were kids.

[mittROMNEY666]

@Bottery complete bullshit.

[123PullOut321]

@Bottery But more importantly it takes imagination and vision. I'd say that qualifies as talent.

[1825sunshine]

@Bottery so your are saying that anyon could produce art like da vinci? you are completely wrong, that is a fact.

[mrichman]

What kind of marker or brush is he using to ink?

[djrelay]

watch pt.3. he explains all of the pens and stuff that he uses

[Etherian1977]

Ty for sharing this man he is sooo awesome ....!!!

[Booyeah10]

hahahahaha! I have that bizarre, creative attetion defecit desorder!!!

[MirageVelondor]

Can u give me the precise deffinition of 'art'. Probably not, cause art is art as long as its considered like that. Can be by the creator himself or the audience. If a kid makes a simple drawing of mommy and daddy, and thinks that to be art, can u give any reason to destroy the kids thoughts in telling him its not art and its crap?

[DX5K]

I define art as the ability to create something with raw materials. So, yes, i believe a child drawing a scribble scratch with a crayon on lines paper is art. It's something the child create with the materials he had. That works for anything, Cars are Art, Make-up is Art, Body Building is Art, Writing a Novel is Art, building a Lego castle is Art. A Sand Castle is Art. Just becaue some people are more skilled at it doesn't mean a less skilled person isn't an artist. But thats my opinion.

[Djole0]

No i don't agree with your statement, looks like u don't understand this studious drawing of a model, that is not a mere copying, but contains knowledge of an anatomy.. Here i don't see much of it... Like i said, for me an 10 year old kid with some talent can draw like this.. Btw, im in art class, drawing ..

[Gadjjo]

Yeah, right. I do agree with yours...

BTW, Picasso, Schiele and Munch were total jerks too, they didn't know anything about "real" art.

Am I Right ? :D

[Djole0]

is respected*

[Djole0]

For me, personally art in drawing is respect when there is very precise drawing of a human figure with the anatomy... that u can see by the picture that the artist knows the anatomy very well anbd by that can manage to copy the reality ; man's/ woman's figure as it is. I just dont like it, it is very simplified, i have an impression that a 10 year old kid with some feeling with drawing, can draw like this.. I prefer anatomy based figures with a lot of detail and complexity..

[Djole0]

sorry i prefer real art. Dont like this.

[lonSinceInsane]

and why isn't this "real art" might i ask? Just because it's simplified or exaggerated it automatically becomes inartistic? Please explain to me your reasoning behind such a dull witted statement!

[MrGuvnah]

Look, everyone! It's a snob!

[williamreinsch]

all art is real art! and comic art happens to be the most skillful and challenge of all.

[ltiger12]

@williamreinsch and cartoon shows

[sashosfhc]

@williamreinsch try making a tattoo

[SigurTibbs]

@williamreinsch thats a bit of an overstatement, yes it is more challenging people think, but its not THE MOST skillful and challenging of them all.

[weefeatures]

@williamreinsch it's a very skillful and attractive art form, one i love, but definitely NOT the most skillful or challenging.

[hebrewgod]

Ha, that's funny, obviously this guy doesn't know ANYTHING about art, because if he did he'd realize the type of "complex" art he's talking about is basically someone copying a model and that it takes a lot more knowledge of anatomy to do what Adam just did from his head.

[buddbasset]

beyond godlike, What do i have to do to be able to do something like that?

[hovsec]

he got pretty steady hand

[rett1103]

i'm not so sure if the first inking tool he used is a brush pen, but i'm pretty sure he used a micron pen later on for the details

[Artisan1979]

I love how he designed the hand of the outstretched arm.

[Amicobello]

sign me up

[SFO14]

I think he mentioned in another vid that he uses a 4B, he doesn't like hard pencils that catch the paper

[napalmnacey]

Is that a brush-tipped pen he's using? I mean, on the lines for SG.

[Globez123]

I don't think so. Later on he uses some kind of a pen, but in these first parts I think he uses a standard leadholder with 4B graphite.

[Globez123]

Correction: I don't think it's a brush tipped pen.

[Globez123]

I just saw the "B" on the pen that he's using so if it's the Faber Castell artist pens, then yes it is the brush-tipped pen.

[Heleiel]

yes, it is

[tiffry7]

I'm in love with that pen

[The80swasStraight]

I've used Faber-Castell before, the large brush pen is really gorgeous, everyone of my friends that's used it has asked me where i got it and bought it themselves.. nuff said! :P I'm new to Adam Hughes but i must admit his style is addictive. I think someone needs to nudge him into remembering.. its all in the hips! lol! jk yo! Rock on A.H!

[molomix]

ADAAAAAAAAM HUGHES! you are like THE BEST!

what kind of mechanical pencil is he using? brand?

[JisooWanbinRicecake]

in another one of his vids, he explained that it's actually a lead holder, and there's a typical sharpener for it:D dude, imma get that!!! :D it's so useful, and he's right when he says that it's awesome because it never shortens down like regular pencils would:D

hopefully, that answered your question? :) hahahha

[willobeen]

My favorite part of lead holders are there weight, they're heavy.

[JisooWanbinRicecake]

yup!:) they have more weight and easier to control:D

i also lovveee soft lead:) excellent for sketching things like this:D

[nowherelad]

OMG... what kind of pen did he use to ink? It's PERFECT. Anyone know?

[digitalmorphine]

He says it's one of the Faber-Castell PITT pens on one of the other vids.

[omfardo]

awe...cool...

[CatAtomic99]

Adam Husghes is some kind of savant, I swear. I'm the same age as he is, been drawing since I was a toddler, went to school for illustration, and I've been working as an illustrator for 15 years. There's no way I could play around with persepctive, focal length, and lighting like that and keep the anatomy perfectly accurate the way he does. With a model, sure- but he just pulls it right out of his head.

He is gawd.

[benmashi]

when you do the same pose over and over again for 100+ times your dont really need a model... jim lee refferd to this when he was sketching... adam huges is the man but people keep forgetimg COMICS art is their main job so naturaly most of them are good at it

[Forlond]

Thats why some comic artist are horrible, but mr hughes is one of the bests?

dont say stupid things, this guy is building the drawing, his lines are strong, and comic book is also about narrative. Obviously you are not an artist.

[jsharp1701]

I love how he has mastered foreshortening. Her right hand is particularly impressive. AH is da man..

[bbird2]

dude you are so nice at inking. How do you stay punctual with all those curves. I'd find myself botching it somewhere.

[sammy99999]

O.o that;s amazing

[mishael003]

freaking awesome!!
