Ryan Benjamin is a comic artist who has worked for both DC and Marvel and he has some valuable techniques to share when it comes to drawing comics. First, you-ll learn about the materials that Ryan uses to set up all of his pages. He then transitions to the early stages of layout using his red pencil. He views the red pencil as his thinking tool, and then when he-s ready, he switches to rendering with a standard pencil and turns his brain off. This is a process that he-s used over and over and now it-s become second nature to him. He finishes his demo by showing you his shading technique using 3 values while hatching. There-s more Ryan Benjamin lessons on the way so be sure to

I totally understand what Ryan means by -feeling it- when I-m drawing and I get that movement going I ain-t thinking too much about what I need to do I just get in that groove and if there-s a line or a mark I ain-t digging then I adjust it but keep moving without too much thought. I also get having background noise. I don-t listen to music cause once I play a song I really like I start paying attention to the song more than my drawing.
I pick up what he-s putting down! .but I still suck at drawing lol

An interesting thing to take from this is how different approaches to art are still valid and can take you far if you persevere. He has a more instinctive take on art but i bet he wasn't always this good. When he says he -explodes- on the page, that's his years of practice and learning and drawing different things and mentalizing stuff speaking for him.

Thanks, Ryan. Im trying to start my own home studio. All my dalso life, people have told me how well I could draw, but I've never had formal training, so I've struggled with certain things like shadowing. I've gotten better over the years, but there's always for room for improvement. Ill he checking you out.

I used to start drawing from the eyes and then i would -build- my character drawings, then i stopped doing it and ever since my drawings went downhill. By watching many videos from serious artists, i noticed most of them are starting from the eyes. I'll start doing that again.

i would say you don't have to draw every day, i mean, you have to draw, but more practicefull, you need to draw and understand what you are drawing, and what could be done better, you need to draw more smart, don't practice passivelly

Can you please tell me you need to sharpen a pencil with a sharpener or a blade? Many professional artists say that the sharpener is not correct and advise with a blade or knife.
reply

Kinda funny when he said he starts from the eyes, when many people say to avoid doing that (to be fair, he had a construction of the head sketched before that though)
reply

I'm curious if there's any visual advantage to using red vs blue, or mainly preference? I've leaned to non-repro blue just because that's what I started with.
reply

I really need this plus I-m trying to go to college and do game design so I think this will probably help me out with my art skills
