WOLVERINE SKETCH VIDEO by David Yardin

[X2476]

love it you are very talented

[iwan13]

It's not really a sketch if you laid down the pencilwork first...

[davidyardin]

@iwan13 How does me not recording some loose pencils on the main figure (the robots I laid in off the top of my head at the marker stage) change the fact it is a quick sketch? It's definitely not a laboured drawing like my regular Marvel work, or any of my detailed private commissions; It didn't take anywhere near as long, and doesn't have the line quality of my more finished drawings. This is an example of the sketches I do at conventions, i.e. convention sketches.

[DantekillsNero987]

You should color this Wolverine picture!!! :P

[stephennigga1]

thats really good man

[DantekillsNero987]

Do u have a deviantart account?

[davidyardin]

@DantekillsNero987 yep it's davidyardin

[Bathill8]

nice david! ...more!! more more!

[outbakz]

It's like God gave you the cheat codes for life.

[davidyardin]

@outbakz I wish.

[diogolpuxD]

do you work on marvel?

:P

[davidyardin]

@diogolpuxD yes

[diogolpuxD]

@davidyardin Awesome

[JAGADEY]

are people being paid to put this awful ad music up?

[davidyardin]

Awful music? I don't hear any.

[JAGADEY]

I think that's the new thing... They put ads on people's clips for songs. But you don't know about it nor do you get paid. I may be a random thing.

[xXnikmanXx]

cool

[davidyardin]

Thank you.

[suly2309]

thats amazing. are u like a marvel comic dude who draws in real comics

[davidyardin]

Thanks. Yes I draw comics for a living.

[brattyben]

This is sick!!!

I have one question tho. That robot dude in the background? Did you have a pencil sketch in there already, or did you just improvise that in inks?

[davidyardin]

I improvised it... but the idea of having a robot there was the clearest idea in my head, even if I didn't know exactly what it looked like until I got to the inking stage, if that makes any sense.

[rendantheslayer]

i was hopen for omega red when i saw the tentacools

[canibizle777]

hopefully ur gettin paid...cuz dat shit was dope...the music suks, but the sketch was dope

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

he gets paid

[2244P]

That's a nice wolverine drawing you got there, and I'm 4422 from Deviantart the one who mentioned about Ex Infernus.

[YrUlUKkiNAtM34]

Ay man this has to be one of the best wolvie drawings ive seen yet, do you think you could give a few pointers to a rookie who's trying to get into the comic book industry?also if you have the time please check out some of my art, i would be honored.

[daveundead]

and it's great to see someone else using the old spare piece of no smudge paper!

[davidyardin]

Most useful trick in the book. :)

[daveundead]

oh and by the david this is no way meant as an insult, i met you many years ago when i was working for disney and you got your first image gig(or was it top cow) any way it was meant to be a joke but after seeing some of the other dumdarses comment i thought i better clear it up. the claire bennet speed painting is amazing as well dude. what's on the horizon for you?

[davidyardin]

Thanks, and hey no offense taken. As you've seen, I've received comments which are phrased much worse .

As for what I've got coming up... I have a short story I pencilled and inked in X-Men Divided We Stand #2, out next week.

I can't really divluge details on the other stuff I have in the pipeline just yet, but I'm several issues deep on another project I'm doing at Marvel. I'm also doing some illustrations in another book for them, and have a couple of covers lined up too.

[daveundead]

dude just wondering it says wolvey sketch but you obviously have your rough pencils under it, you can see em, shouldn't it be wolvey clean up?

[davidyardin]

This was actually a con sketch someone requested, that's why I refer to it as a sketch. I didn't have time to do it at the con, and they had to leave anyway, so when I got home I sketched it out and then grabbed the markers (and obviously the camera) to finish it off.

When I do these con sketches I don't really define each individual process. When I'm doing finished pencils for work I tend to differentiate each process, because I'm completing a whole drawing in one medium, if that makes sense.

[MegamanZero66]

I'm absolutely speechless as to how talented you are with black and white pictures... o_o

[davidyardin]

Thank you.

[mormanwarrior]

hey wen youre at the amagendon expo will you do drawings if so is it free or does it couse money and how much

[lsoprimus]

I have just begun getting back into art on a serious level.Wolverine has been my goal to draw ever since I picked up the first issue with Omega Red and that was in first grade ! your style takes me back !

[davidyardin]

I loved those old X-men issues too.

[XxPharaohAtemxX]

very nice work, wolverine was always my fav =]

[davidyardin]

Thanks.

[paire4ever]

i like the technic you used

[davidyardin]

Thanks.

[methane]

[davidyardin]

Can you even read?

[BillyVillain]

Really good wolverine! Please post more videos!!!!1

[davidyardin]

Thanks. When I get a little time.

[Phil84]

please make a video sketch on gambit

[davidyardin]

We'll see.

[xatanos]

MAESTRO

[ashesevilhand]

"cheesebugers" you fucking dick the guy you are calling a tracer draws for marvel comics you cock head. and whats with the jew comment man people like you is whats wrong with the world.

[BxCoolDude]

no life tracing cause u can draw

[davidyardin]

Yeah, it's funny how people like 'CheeseBugers' mistake the outline of my pencil drawing for something I'm tracing. I mean if I was going to flat out trace something, I'd put the art board on a lightbox so I could see what I was doing, especially when working on 260 g/m² Bristol board, like I was in this video.

[davidyardin]

I don't know what's funnier the fact you are too lazy/stupid/illiterate to read the description... or that you think I'm Jewish... or was that meant to be a lame attempt at an insult?

[Nbaking2007]

wow tight!!!!!!!!!!!!

[davidyardin]

Thanks man.

[yardin4]

yo im not sure if its david my cousin in australia but if its him, i found your drawing awesome cousin!! its denis by the way.

[davidyardin]

Hey, Ki manyer Denis?

[Rctturcios1]

I like the way you draw very nice

i wanted to ask you about your art history if u went to any school and what are drawing exercises that you see can help improve ones drawing

[davidyardin]

The best exercise is to draw, draw, draw.

I did art all through school, got a BA in Visual Arts, and the comic thing I've always sort of done on the side since I was about 15. Also trained under one of my fave artists Whilce Portacio.

[saraytje]

Uhuh, I so comply to the draw draw draw thing.

Nice skills, I enjoyed watching you draw :)

[davidyardin]

Thank You.

[philsaddiction]

wow thats awesome man,

how many years have you been drawing?

and what type/brand of pens were used in this video?

[davidyardin]

I've been drawing as long I can remember.

I used Sharpies and Staedtler pigment liners on this piece.

[monstamossie]

shit dude you've got some skills there.. do you work for a comic book or something?

[davidyardin]

Thanks. Yes, I'm pencilling an upcoming project for Marvel at the moment.

[manbat]

Tight! ;)

[davidyardin]

Cheers.

[Cuculetzu]

wow, i like the way you draw. i like very much Marvel comics.

[davidyardin]

Thank you. Yep Marvel's got some cool stuff happening at the moment.

[dragonzair]

I must say. I am deeply impressed with you holding the cam with one hand. I can never draw properly without having both hands covering the paper. :D

Loved the sketch :D

[davidyardin]

Thanks man.
