Nov 18, 2008 - Yea pretty impressive huh? lol... Hands are probably one of the hardest things to draw accurately imo. Always impressed/inspired when a pro like him makes it look easy lol.

loveupskirts Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - his early work differed a lot from what he does now imo. for me his sketches are amazing because you can see he really knows light and shadows. but..i wish he wouldnt eat like a pig as he is heading in to heart attack territory. he shouldnt aim to be a fatass imo.

Nov 18, 2008 - I was with you until you had to post a immature attack on a very genuine person.

loveupskirts Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - give me facts..if itis a genuine complaint ill apologise.

orgorg7 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - The man does not eat like a pig (he has been a guest at many of our MCBA cons) and he does NOT aim to be a fat ass (as you put it.)A mature person who claims to be a fan, would not deliver such a immature comment. Yes, you do owe an apology to him.

loveupskirts Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I needed to see someone drawing a cleaner rough like that...Im gonna try the way he did tis rough now hehe

lonewolf889 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I have also been studying Adams technique and approach to roughing out the figure. I can definitely see a difference in my drawings especially the face. I Hope you have the same results.

cichriz Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - I understand what he is doing, I like his stylebut when I want to draw my own draws using some of his technics my final work ends...being crappy.Trying to COPY an style of another author its hard. I'll keep practicing my own style until I can draw as agood as himand that's gonna be hard coz this man rocks

trencher7 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Anyone know what drawing utensils he is using?

Forlond Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - thats the right attitude, working hard is the only way.

sandjoy54 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - Looks like charcoal in a special holder and a kneaded eraser.

thedarkestbloodka Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - it's a lead holder with a graphite stick, probably a 2h or 4h. most comic artists use this for finished pages, even if mechanical pencils are the norm for sketching.

grownkiddd Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - its amazing how he does it so effortlessly. God i wish i could draw like that. I draw good, but no where near that good. I've been trying to get better, but im not sure how. My main problem is that my drawings are missing a lot of life and action.

YrUlUKkiNAtM34 Says:

Nov 18, 2008 - do you know about the action linas well as the , e?aka the gesture line?if not then that could be why you're pics aren't getting that lifelike quality to it as well as the expressions on the characters help quite a bit
