Thanks for the tips man. I have been drawing for many years but never took it serious. I'd say I am about an 8 compared to top marvel artist being a 10. I'm there but have no idea about creating comics until now. And because of your vids I am now pursuing this passion and yes I know if my art really sucks. Iol. I do feel bad for people who want to be artist but just never get that niche. Thanks for motivating me and hopefully you will see my work someday. 30 years old here. Lol. Ready to put my talent to good use.

I know a guy who wasted his whole life dreaming of being a Marvel/DC artist; he never understands his style doesn't fit these hero comics he loves so much and I feel sad about him never giving up and ruining his own life waiting for that dream job. I'd rather make my own stuff instead, but he just fail to give up at such a point it became a destructive dream for him. This guy is around his 40s now.

I got reviewed by John Barber when he was still at IDW, right before he left. I wish I knew where he was now. He told me to keep sending him stuff and gave me his card but another editor at IDW Dave, said he was no longer there and gave me 3 other editors contact info. still I wish I knew where John was now so I could follow up with him. very cool that your friends with him.

Could you do some more specified tutorials? Similar to your head tutorial, but some that are more specific, like eyes, noses, mouths, arms, hands, posing, human/anatomy construction, etc.
It would also be cool if you made a video about designing/redesigning character costumes.

no
it makes sense. do a few issues about 20-25 pages of different characters (like the big superstar characters from DC-Marvel) and send it in as a portfolio piece. it'll give the editors a boost in confidence knowing that you can get the job done

There was a time that i would of loved to work for Marvel, but after they betrayed the fan base with hiring SJW third rate hacks to force diversity, i have been now focusing on trying to get work through other comic companies.

Hey I was looking at some other artists like Rob liefield or Todd McFarlane or Jim Lee. And out of all of them I think this guy has grown the most in his art skills. What do you think about James the box office artist.

John looks really tired, all that work for the art leaves you looking like that all day. quality costs so much energy and this may seem like a weightless statement but the minority know what i mean
