  i feel so much of the art world has too little respect for comic artists. the level of fundamentals, inking, composition you have to master, its really far up the skill ladder imo. but my art friends often just see the most generic image in their mind when i say im very inspired by comic artists. watching ryan work here is a real treat!

  <a href="https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tJ4O2My8Dtc&amp;t=186">3:06</a> in order to get to that point start doing these more often<br>1. Study your references longer before you draw. This is why drawing from imagination is harder than drawing from reference.<br>2. Draw the image in your head. Imagine the image being drawn in ur head then translate it om paper. The more often u do these 2 the better

  I think comic and manga artists are so underrated, they have to draw multiple pictures a page for 20-50 pages a chapter

  I think people put too much importance on &quot;BE YOURSELF BE YOURSELF BE UNIQUE.&quot; I have found that, the very act of DOING it automatically develops your unique style. I think you are incapable of not drawing your own way. Sure you can copy others work but even that copy will just be your rendition of the original

  He pretty much completed this in 10-15 minutes, considering he was off talking half the time. I find this super impressive. <br><br>Talking about that convention where he did 100 something comissions in a day just blew my mind.

  When he talked about traditional and digital art it really resonated with me. I do my pencils and inks in traditional and color/paint in digital on my phone. I like both of them but there&apos;s something about traditional art that will always amaze me

  I like the idea that physically drawing faster gives the artwork more energy and life. And keeping it messy and loose as long as possible is a great tip too. Thanks!

  &quot;Do not copy&quot; is the worst advise for a beginer, yes copy your art parents, once you become an &quot;adult artist&quot; then you can cut the embilical cord and fly away
