  My favorite comic artist ever! Sienciewicz is a ATG. He had the rare combo of skill and creativity to push the limits of the medium. Thank you guys as always for diving in to this!

  It was always such a joy to discover the issues where Sienkiewicz inked over artists like the Buscemas, Jurgens, Aparo, Staton, etc. Most of them were completely random DC and Marvel books from the '90s. But wow, they blew my mind.

  This book had a huge impact on me when I was in junior high. It showed me that no matter how wild and experimental Bill S's published work looked, beneath that was tons of solid training and real talent. AND it also intimidated me so much that it took me more than ten years before I got the nerve to start an actual real sketchbook of my own and really start training seriously...

  Bill Sienkiewicz is a huge influence on me. Love his Moon Knight and New Mutants, Moby Dick, Dune, Batman, Elektra Assassin.

  Sketching with a ball point pen really is the most effective way to learn how to draw. It’s all I had growing up was cheap ballpoint pens & typing paper. I kept buy his Shadow comics over and over. I think I have two or three complete runs before I realized what was happening.

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kyCifBo_Yqs&amp;t=314">5:14</a> There&apos;s a great quote here. talking about the comic adaptation and how he had to stick to the actor&apos;s likenesses but had wanted to take advantage of comics&apos; unlimited &quot;budget&quot; and make Baron Harkonnen immense. He says &quot;It&apos;s like doing the adaptation of Superman and having to draw the wires holding Chris Reeves aloft.&quot; I&apos;ve always loved that.

  This sketchbook as practically my bible! Bill Sienkiewicz is my favourite artist of all-time and his work is a huge influence on me. I look at this book a lot. Loads of great stuff in there. I love his pen and ink work the most.
