[FrankSixFeet]

Epic Music, Epic Drawing, Epic Artist!!

Note: If you really want to learn how to draw like this, The Key: *Practice*

[rato004]

so good

[ipodtoucher15]

where can i learn to draw like this?

[stewma234]

@ipodtoucher15 trust me if u wanna draw like this just keep on drawing and u will get better

[jramirez14749]

how did you learn how to draw so good

[jramirez14749]

this is great!!!!!

[20125150]

WOW!!! I need sooo much practice.

[SamvoltS]

Sharpie rulez!!

i use them too XD by the way u do a good work!!

[1MarvelFan]

Yep.......I still think u are one of the best artists in the world=D

[totonfo34]

awesome drawing man i wish i could drw that good and just draw from scratch like u but awesome drawing and thanks for the video :)

[DimisWargame]

you have that aspect of size, which is the most difficult part at drawing bodies.

I never could achieve drawing arms before i reach them(you do , and too successfully :)

[DjArpegius]

wow, great job. I wish I could draw like that. I noticed the middle finger and thumb were used to hold the pen while drawing. That's intense. I should practice that out

[nagafagi]

he is a GOD!

[jramirez14749]

this is great

[Chustaian]

Good job!! Is not easy to draw spawn.

[ScorpioX19]

I too draw, and you've inspired to pick up a marker and try it out....(I normally use pencil N a pen)

[Mudig]

Spawn has always been the hardest to draw for me.

[tuku1o2]

my problem is drawing his face and his cape

[samacooler]

howthe hell do u draw like that my uncle is awesome at doing this kind of stuff but ur awesome

[trihian]

without a mistake?? dude wtf, you knew every detail like you made the character! your good!

[SinisterLegion]

Truly phenomenal, how do you get the sharpey to not soak into the paper and create blots? I'm guessing it's the way you hold the pen? Is that true? I usually use Sakura brand inking pens they don't soak into paper no matter how much you apply, but shit if Sharpies can work I would save a lot of money

[MattHawes]

The trick is to not apply too much pressure with the pen on the paper. Thanks for the kind comment!

-- Matt

[holyknight70]

@MattHawes you free handed that perfectly....I cant free hand worth shit.

[benji963]

wowwith a sharpy to thats wow

[freakyboy191]

WoW You are uncredable

[jramirez14749]

hey can u draw venom eating spidermans head

[riderdarkkabuto]

you've done the world a great justice here today.

[petitebete]

how you can draw like that ?

good drawing mate

[ADISAKNIKASOKA]

EPIC!

[maddude3]

ok i'm not familiar with spawn, so could someone fill me in on spawn-powers/abilities, his super power story, personality type, etc.

i just want to know if this is a comic i should look into and read you know?

[katrina9452]

ok spawn is a supernatural demon ok he was once a human but he was betrayed and killed and he was a hired killer ok so he went to hell and he met the devil and n return for agreeing to lead the devils army he could go back to earth and see his wife but he was a hidious monster under his mask because he was burned and that how he died. ok now he has a magical cape that he can control to do anything and the same with those chains! and he is ploting to stop the devil! he is a comic book character!!

[maddude3]

thanks, my uncle has some spawn comics i may begin reading so i'll see if i like it

[Vdraug]

definetely read and watch the series by the artist. it happns to be here on youtube

[cyrusjerome]

watch the movie

[tavolorgia]

my favorites are dragon ball z and spawn but i have never seen a single comic of spawn other than the movie and the hbo specials i dont know where to get the magazines if anyone knows please tell me.

[grossepoutinecriss]

You can find Spawn in any good comic book store. And by the way, there is a lot of great comic books. Like Sin City or The killing joke. If you like manga style you can go for Gunnm.

[ComicMan9]

theres a mega comic store where i live

[NBAfan91]

good for you

[ComicMan9]

i r u mocking me?

[lugnut676]

That is simply...

badass

[nicktroppi]

ehi boy. lok you're make a bad tangent with de steel of chain ;)

[bloodlust338]

nice work that is a great personal interperetation of spawn

[Hellblaze123]

ok, i am a freaking HUUUUGGEEE fan of Spawn, absolutly my favorite comic EVER. and to see you do something this good is just amazing. well well well done my friend.

[joeyisLP]

the best comic book character ever (in my opinion)

[PS3GLiiTCHER]

my record is 5 min drawing spawn the same way lol

[begowey]

wow

[hitmankillzone]

why are u holding it liek that? looks uncomfortable

[CarlOlav]

I do that too, sometimes. But mostly when I draw landscape and for rough shaping. It is really quite comfortable.

Very good drawing! The shading is most excellent! I would recommend sketching more though, and free up your style a bit. Just let it flow!

[emilyhorsegall]

amasing draw ^^

but can i say without affending.... you hold your pen wierd... sorry i had to sayit :(

[lessthannormal01]

a very excellent drawing, seems you've been drawing for years, I too draw, maybe at a lower level of your work but I guess you can say I'm a good drawer. anyway, excellent work, very impressive.

[Conefoeva]

prettu badass man

[KataVision]

Let me guess.. you used a visual reference.. I don't believe you'd be someone that could draw from scratch.

[MattHawes]

Yep, I am able to draw from scratch.

-- Matt

[Threatdaninja]

@KataVision your just a hater arnt ya dipshit

[stewma234]

why is ur finger like that isnt that uncomfortuble

[moonlight017]

WOW!! you started drawing spawn without a pencil sketch?! thats awesome ! you rock dude! . btw . when im drawing, im having a hard time drawing a hand, can you give me some tips please? .

[zombieians]

how long dos it take to draw him.

[MattHawes]

Hi! The actual drawing time was about twenty minutes or so. Thanks!

-- Matt

[thechallenger9000]

Wow, Dude I still haven't mastered the felt pen. Its too scary.. L0L NICE JOB.!

[kaz287]

lol too scary I know what u mean, one mistake and ur whole drawing can be screwed up!

[ScorpioX19]

AGREED!!!

[kody211]

do you work for any comic companies, cause if you dont you should.

[MorrysBrian]

like the way you holds the pen

[animedc]

FUCK! YOUR SPAWN DRAWING IS AWSOME!

5 Star!

[Htidkiller]

NICE one!

[YoungBandit92]

FUcking dope!!! I lvoe spawn! I wish i can draw him!! any tips for learning?!?

[dontfreakinask]

what i do is i take a clear paper sleeve that fits in a 3 ring binder

put a picture in there

tape a blank piece of paper to the front end

go to a hard surface with light coming from the bottom so ur able to see the original drawing underneath and just trace

[levifazs3]

you probably use up alot of sharpies awesome drawing

[Crowfeather2011]

although a great drawing nonetheless, as a critic i have to judge your use of three dimensional space. making spawns cape and chains lash out at the viewer as they do in mcfarlane and capullo's work. but an otherwise awesome job. double kudos to you for working in sharpie, i would love to see some work by you in pen/colored pencil/colored inks/or maybe some digital work. keep up the awesome work. oh and TELL ME IF UR ON DEVIANT ART!!!!!!!!

[xeaex99]

A-M-A-Z-I-N-G

U SHOULD MAKE SOME HOW TO VIDEOS

im a good artist 2 but i trouble with hands and feet

[unicyclist0]

Wow crazy impressive! hes gorgeous!

[fallenacrn]

nice work. you hold ur pencil funny lol but good job

[xXEmoFillsOnlyPainXx]

dude awesome u drew it with sharpie awesome i wish i could do that :)

[TheHappyShow]

Thanks! I've been drawing since I was three. I don't really have a specific technique that I am aware of, actually.

-- Matt

[RydanMarz]

[DakotaPunk]

This is the drawing Jakob likes, Spawn is his favorite superheroes.

Nice work Matt!

[MattHawes]

Thanks! I'm glad Jakob likes the pic, too!

-- Matt

[41700442425425425410]

[mastry81693]

i am an artist as well and you really showed me some good ways to draw the hands

[HoG1010]

i dont really like american comics, but thats awesome!*****

[Kadaverbengt]

Very nice job mate. Big fan of Spawn, been since I got my very first Spawn comic here in Sweden '96. Sure Greg is abit better but I don't think he does his drawings in 10minutes (and you did the old school Spawn)

Very nice!

[crapwarrior1]

how long did it take to get so good

[MattHawes]

I've been drawing since I was three years-old. Thanks!

-- Matt

[slashguitar144]

[MCRkickstotallass]

I don't currently work for a comics publisher. Thank you for the kind comment!

-- Matt

[CIDVICIOUS831]

[hasunkhan]

i really like your classic style do u just use a sharpie on printer paper?Again though i like the sorta old school loke

[MattHawes]

Thanks. Yep, in this video I used a Sharpie on printer paper. For more professional work, I would use better paper and different pens.

-- Matt

[Rcinch1]

Hey, can you draw Lady Death?

I just started reading her books and it would be awesome if you did a vid where you drew her!

Just a thought.

Love your Spawn drawing!

Todd McFarlane should totally hire you!

[MattHawes]

Thanks for the kind words! I'll add your suggestion to the list I have.

-- Matt

GENERALY THE CAPE

[MattHawes]

The trick with capes is giving them folds and making them look like they're flowing by using curvy and scalloped lines.

-- Matt

[YrUlUKkiNAtM34]

you draw spawn better than mcfarlane could ever dream of, I'm in awed..

[MattHawes]

Thank you for the very kind comment!

-- Matt

[BenjaminTapia1]

i am shocked,i got chills watching the completion of the drawing,any tips on how you got better at drawing like on shadowing,straight lines,curves,eyes,capes etc oh and i usually only use pencils,is it any different doing it with ink?sorry if im asking too much is just that i got pumped up watching your spawn drawing.thanks again and take care.

[MattHawes]

I pencil the art first, when I am doing the work for something other than a drawing video. The main difference with inking without pencilling first is making sure the first line is the right line, or close to it. If I make a mistake with an all-ink drawing, I can sometimes work it out, or into the drawing, but it can be tricky. I'm afraid I'm not really good at explaining things, though. Basically, with shadows pay attention to lighting, with textures, pay attention to weight of line...

[MattHawes]

...study things like anatomy and perspective, too. Thanks for the kind comment!

-- Matt

[kdoxe]

Very Good

=D

[MattHawes]

Thanks!

-- Matt

[buckweezy]

-- Matt

[B10HAZMA7]

great job,did you have the idea in mind when drawing spawn or were you just going with the flow?

[MattHawes]

I have a general idea of what I want to draw, but a good deal of it is also going with the flow. Thanks!

-- Matt

[sirbackup]

way you hold the pen is interresting. I tried to draw that style, but it didn´t work with me. and amazing drawing skills you got, absolutely great.

[MattHawes]

Thank you very much!

-- Matt

[spleenfreek]

you my friend who is not really my friend put all the greatest comic book artists to shame you are an equall to mcfarlane him self. you are the greatest artist in the world. by the way you are awsome by drawing my favorit comic book character with a sharpy marker. i am not worthy of looking at your greatness

[MattHawes]

I really appreciate your very kind words! Thank you very much!

-- Matt

[frenchyfrie911]

very nicely drawn! Liking the unique way you hold your pen. just curious, how do you draw such a good cape?

[MattHawes]

I guess it's from the experience of drawing so much. I really can't explain. Thanks for the kind words!

-- Matt

[dimidtrismimis]

-- Matt

[nocnemesis]

[MattHawes]

Thanks for the kind words about my artwork. I have always held my pen that way, but there is no real explanation I can give for doing so.

-- Matt
