Adam Hughes - Anatomy of a sketch, Pt2 - The Process

[OnnenRyu]

I stand corrected, I obviously need to go buy an industrial sharpie and sniff the F out of it to get as high as I can so I can reach this level of illusion magic

[OnnenRyu]

This is amazing, I need to go to the store and buy a 10 gallon jug of icecream so I can be a fat shut in cuz theres obviously more to his talent than that magical witch pencil hes using O.O

[PirateKing666]

those magnum markers are brutal but they are useful for huge black expanses in a sketch or prelim.

[ibgrorg]

@mariosawyer: Boooooo! Lol :P

[mariosawyer]

I really want to shake his hand someday. He is a monster, and seems to be a gentle person. I am a really "Hughe" fan.

[yemo34]

BAMF!



[BallpointRubber]

i killed a man.... with my 44.Magnum

[MissComix]

Damn, I love this guy... he's amazing. I'd could die if I met him in person, my life would be complete haha xD

[Kaisertoji]

@MissComix yeah I know how you feel, I can die after I fuck Scarlett Johansen ^^ (w/c means I wont be dying soon) sigh ^o^

[FEVERPITCHROCKNROLL]

@Kaisertoji You mean you won´t die at all.

[mechaart]

I got a 44 magnum sharpie. I understand why Adam "Art" Hughes said "I was the most stoned out kid of 1974". The marker smells like paint thinner but the industrial type.

[evexp]

Man, you´re the greatest...

[Stinachan999]

this man is a wonder to watch in person. absolutly fantastic!

[hovsec]

well he didnt do much in this part

[WarriorSmurf]

Those Magnum 44 are indeed strong. The scent lasts for years on paper, lol.

[Sorriz]

Damn

[ArgHamster]

I also noticed Adam has a very good knowledge of anatomy!

[Balamwulf]

almost in any style you need to have a very good knowledge of human anatomy so that you can modified it as you wish

[Bufriot]

Adam is doing more realistic type of sets. It's like Alex Ross in a way.

I never really liked Jim Lee, and that modern look of the comics, that's more common the these days. It's better this way, vivid and realistic!

[ArgHamster]

Yes. Modern style has some great dynamics that I´ve adopted for the sketch and then I add more realistic features on top. Adam is an amazing artist BTW. :D

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

man y is it every artist gts compared to jim lee he has a totally different style,plus i think he bettet at drawing girls,aaaaaaaaaaaand jm lee usually just draws the top half of the body at conventions

[JiMMyJaM08061991]

adam hughes at a comic con talking about getting high

[WessValor]

Hey I got a Thermo-Nuclear eraser too 8D...

[venomchris]

haha he's like the jack black of comics

[mckillustrator]

they both amaze me how they can do the most dynamic shit on the spot. i would throw james jean into the mix for just super talented without having to try very hard

[jakeeechane88]

its not a race!

[SFO14]

I've seen people compare Hughes to Lee on these boards, and I'll say both are extremely talented, however I believe Lee could've finished this sketch in about 5-10 mins. tops. Just an opinion

[brandonrobinson5150]

You can't compare the two. Hughes is more realistic. Not to say he is better just very different.

[SFO14]

True, which is what I meant when I said both are extremely talented. However I feel Lee, in his own unique style, could've finished the sketch quicker. I don't think I was comparing the two, just stating an opinion. You don't have to agree.

[Forlond]

fighting with the paper, thats the real truth, thanks adam.

I agree with everything he says, the strenght of the drawing can not be transfered if you use a light box, but I use blue pencils because I like how they feel, blame me..:P

[subjulio]

Why does he keep on erasing the sketch?

[navelpicker]

Listen to what AH says about it in the vid, man...

[JisooWanbinRicecake]

basically, what a sketchist/sketch artist will do is to draw the basic structure of what they want to draw... however, they don't want to erase the thing completely, so they use a clay eraser, which is perfect for this kind of art:D

btw, im a sketch artist also, so yeah... that's how i know:D

man, this guy is awesome!!! :D

[heartbrokncupid]

Awesome n funny! "..one of the good kind.." thanx again!

[chanekazo]

adam hughes... simplemente el mejor

[pulseofthemaggotgirl]

[fubar123456]

Adam Hughes = Coolest person EVAR

[Ghebri]

Cool to see the man in action.
