Welcome back comic art enthusiasts! We were honored to have the awesomely talented artist David Finch back on our humble little Youtube channel for another Art Review Livestream! As you probably already know, David Finch has worked in the comic industry for over 27 years and is known for his work on Top Cow Productions’ Cyberforce, as well as numerous subsequent titles for Marvel Comics and DC Comics, such as The New Avengers, Moon Knight, Ultimatum, and Batman. He has provided album cover art for the band Disturbed, and done concept art for films such as Watchmen.
With such an impressive resume we are very fortunate to have him reviewing the art of our aspiring colleagues. There is something entirely powerful about getting feedback from a pro. It helps us to see things that we otherwise might be struggling to figure out. I truly feel that this is an essential aspect of becoming a better comic book artist and probably the path of least resistance! Well, as long as we are ready to receive the information provided to us of course.
This is the third time David has been on our Youtube channel and each time he has taught us some very useful techniques. Even though this was more for the subscribers of the channel to benefit from you can bet I was taking my own notes! Hey, I’m still learning to you know! 😉
The other nice thing about this process is that David will sometimes stop what he is explaining and start drawing for the student. This is insanely beneficial as you might expect because as artists we are generally visual learners. These interactive sketches just seem to make things click. It is one of the reasons why we do so much better in a studio with other skillful individuals. By watching their approach and being able to ask questions we tend to gain a sense of confidence. Unfortunately, not all of us have that opportunity so these live sessions are the next best thing in my honest opinion.
If you weren’t able to attend you are welcome to watch the latest episode here –
David is also creating some exceptional course content for us to learn from. You can find his comic art courses here on his site. I have taken a few and they are exceptional and well worth the price!
