His art is amazing, really inspires me to just put in some hard work and study, even though i'm not that good, but getting there

>>3723795
>Do you guys think this guy has enough skill to back his ego?
Yeah. Dude sounds like a prick but his art looks good for what he's going for (capeshit). I'm skeptical in the jump from 2015-2016 though. It's huge.

>And what do you think of what he says in the video itself?
He says he drew 5+12 hours a day for 3 years. Unrealistic for most people, but I think if you have a severe case of autism it might be do-able. I dunno.

For mine:

What do you think of him? Should I look to him for reference? Everything there is definitely the type of art I'd like to draw. Even if you take away the color, everything is just nice to look at.

>>3723795
tl;dr?

So all he did was draw a lot and that's it?

>>3723830
Nice taste

>>3723795
his first video I watched was his japan vlogs. He was obnoxious but then I saw his art and it was actually p good. I just hate his fuccboy look

>>3723795
just from op's pic you can tell he's good

>>3723830
Some of them are nice, but honestly I'm really bored of
>anime girl on blank screen
>anime girl with single environment prop to justify the pose
i really wish people would push the environments more as well as having those anime girls.

>>3723973
Yeah, that's fair. It doesn't bother me too much, as I'm there for his characters mostly, but environments with as much character as a figure can really make something good into something great.

Another artist I like:

>>3723795
I subscribed to him a while ago because his art is pretty good but unsubscribed after I got sick of him filling up my inbox with attention whoreing garbage, his fake excitement makes him pretty annoying to listen to aswell

>>3723795
Anatomy is entirely off. Pectorals are too small. Pose is unnatural - like Cap is twisting his body for no reason. Both knees are off centered. Leg muscles are all screwed up except for the vastus lateralis and vastus medialis. Wrist bone shouldn't be protruding like that. Right index finger has two knuckles fused together. Lower arm muscles are wrong.

>>3724116
I've never seen DK this bad.

>>3724120
What does DK mean?

>>3724123
Donkey Kong

>>3724116
well he is on super solder serum after all
also he probably learn this stylization muscle from other comic book artists

>>3724116
I forgot to add - this guy would not get hired add DC or Marvel. Smaller companies, perhaps - all depends on how well he draws characters in natural settings. Not poses!

Drawing backgrounds is huge must!

>>3724125
COMIC BOOK PENCILLING WITH STEPHEN PLATT

>>3723795
Is it just me or is his stuff so low contrast that it gets hard to read? I see everyone praising him but no one mentions this, it makes his art kind of unsatisfying to look at

>>3724126
you're such a fucking crab, you can take 2 seconds to look at his channel and see how well he draws everything you mentioned. end yourself and get your own ego checked

>>3724133
Okay, this is actually pretty good.

>>3724133
probably it just his pencil type

>>3724138
The creature's right arm is off though. The anatomy of the guy hanging in the top left is hidden in the shadows, so it's hard to tell if it's correct.

>not everyone should have noticeable muscles

>>3724142
redline and post work since you're so keen on just critiquing arm length and pectoral size

>>3724143
Okay, gimme a sec...

>>3723795
ZHC has a solid drawing process and good art but he's a one-trick pony. I don't think I've ever seen him draw anything that isn't a giant, muscled male figure half covered in shadow rendering. He's mostly a David Finch clone but even more limited.

Personally, I find the guy really fucking annoying and fake. Plus all he comes off more as a typical clickbait youtuber rather than an artist.

He draws well but I've never seen him convey action or motion well, which SHOULD be valued in action comic books. Everything looks stiff and made of stone. Then again, considering the state of capeshit comics right now, he's probably better than most of the shitty uncanny, traced shit that comes out now.

>>3724144
By the way posting your work has priority over the redline.

detail is fucking amazing but his pose is off and it bothers me

>>3724133
Really good but the rotation on his right arm is wrong. According to his forearm muscles, his palm should be facing up and towards the viewer.

>>3724167
Loose sketch... wip

>>3724213
nice
who is that suppose to be

>>3724213
Nigga please. Just post something you have already finished.

>>3723812
fuck off zach

>>3724213
art that takes 2 minutes to draw isn't really work anon

>>3724213
is that pink guy?

>>3724213
Changed it. Don't feel like drawing anymore. Plus, comic style isn't my thing.

>>3724271
This is more my style.

>>3724275
I'm a 3D artist more than anything. I just grew up drawing as a hobby.

>Posted this in 3DCG

>>3724213
already better than zhc but you got some hardcore right hand bias my dude

>>3724123
Drift King

>>3724116
Anyway's you're kinda right, there are musles on the body which don't even make sense or have a wrong form altogether. He's probably drawn it with a "normies won't be able to tell the difference so whatever" mindset. There are millions of professional superhero references out there, so if you're at least somewhat experienced in american comic style you can pull something like this off, or better.

>>3724126
of course.. like haven't people seen actually good artists in that genre?

also this guy is probably him getting tilted cus muh ego >>3724134

>>3724133
no sense of value and lineweight

>>3723830
take away the soft colors and it's kinda shit.

you're better off using krenz and some other chinks as reference if you want to pursue a half rendered animu style

>>3724116
You're right, but in the video he compares these drawings to more recent ones, and he's still improving. I personally hate this specific comic style, I prefer cartooning or comics with focus on storytelling, but he's clearing getting better.

>>3724133
He clearly thinks about black and white spots first, but I suppose he still can't resist the urge to add details and so he loses a bit of readability. I don't understand what happens in the neck of the monster, for example.

>>3723795
Can't stand his voice, personality or fake feeling videos, which is a shame since he puts out a bunch of content and I like finding new artists to follow.
I feel like YouTube attracts a certain attention hungry kind of person, artists on picarto or even twitch seem more relaxed and friendly with viewers but also more serious with their work. It's like they're letting you watch what they'd be doing anyway, whereas YouTube artists you can feel them thinking about views and subscribers and shit every second.
Even ones who start out ok inevitably end up doing drama videos, clickable for the most basic normie, or when one of their vids does well they just make that same type over and over to try chase the success.

It's disappointing it's so clearly just using art for views but like I said, YouTube attracts a certain kind of person.

>>3724481
Clickbait not clickable.

>>3724481
true

>>3724481
>YouTube artists you can feel them thinking about views and subscribers and shit every second.
Fucking agreed. Same for all youtubers, honestly. They're always shitting out subpar content with clickbait. Not to be confused with people that just upload to YouTube as a hobby or side thing.

>>3723795
Someone post his herpes pic lol his gf a hoe

>>3724722
Well I read an article on the subject once, gotta blame the game not the player. Basically it's a shitty platform and if you want to get big you must shit out content at a rate it stops being realistic to remain good. Otherwise the cake goes to pewdiepie.

Now, you could argue they shouldn't care about money but who doesn't

>>3723795
I kind of think his progress is fake. Or well staged. Either way he's a decent pencil artist, nothing special there, but he's also a force of nature when it comes to his social media presence. He's always posting, and establishing a brand. I'm not a fan.

>>3724275
lolwut are you shitting us

Just a quick sketch, but this is what studios are looking forward to these days. Everything has to be readable and clear, not over rendered stuff like in OP Cap drawing. That guy will never get hired in his current state because an editor know what works and what doesn't simply because of years of experience. They want to see the form as clear as they can - not see it in dark shadows. Plus, drawing eyes balls helps tremendously in expressing emotions.

>>3725060
inb4crabs

>>3725060
"Just a quick sketch" he says, as he posts the 5th version of the same drawing he's been working at for hours.

>>3725060
I hate zhc but you act like illustration isn’t an industry and concept art is the only option for artists.

>>3725068
godtier reply anon

>>3725076
>this level of samefag
cringe and yikespilled

>>3725078
>he can't handle the bantz

>>3725080
>he thinks editing website text with JavaScript is clever and smart
lmao

>>3725082
>editing it perfectly in 1 minute since your post
thanks for the compliment anon, keep coping

>>3725084
>thinking pressing backspace ten times takes more than a minute
brainlet detected. have a good day, loser!

>>3725060
Actually, if it looks That good he still gets hired like pic related. Some of his details would go to waste but he's still a decent weapon to have in your team.
All of this ignoring that colors are optional, there are black and white comics. Look for black and white Batman on Google, it's literally named like that. Of course, maybe he lacks the dynamism to do good panels, but he can train that skill as needed, his drawings are on point.

>>3725085
>>3725084
Thing is I actually like your stuff. and I agree, the overdefinition of zhc's stuff is not my cup of tea.

I just wanted to give you shit for that first remark. You probably had that tucked away for a rainy day. Show off your skills. But it's not that big of a fuss to you. yeah, w/e. I draw bridgman in my sleep.

Also, other guy wasn't me. Don't get so assblasted.

>>3725101
I'm not the guy who posted that drawing, either. I just like dunking on retarded crabs is all. Just a little bantz, bro.

>>3725099
Only one person can draw like Jim Lee and that's Jim Lee. Copycat artist don't last very long in the industry, if they even break in at all. If you want to break into the industry at either Marvel or DC, your stuff has to be exceptional. Joe Mad is a perfect example. But if you won't change up your work, you'll probably end up at TopCow - which they don't pay very much due to low selling numbers.

>>3725068
No, I just sketched it in a couple of minutes. That's why none of the lines actually connect.

>>3725060
>quick sketch
>pin-up
>no line weight
>no blacks

What's the point of this?
Publishers want good pages, not pin-ups.

>>3723795
I just downloaded Hampton's figure drawing, Drawing comics the Marvel way and Perspective for comic book artists.
If I complete those books will I reach this level? Also does it help for drawing manga style or am I going the wrong route? I'm aiming for the more "realistic" manga styles like Berserk and Onepunch Man so I guess it won't hurt. I just don't want to reach a stage where I draw manga and people on /ic/ can tell it's from a westerner.

>>3725140
he's a dunning kruger, let him live in his fantasy world

>>3725185
Yes, that's a great start. Add in David Finch's DVD from gnomonworkshop to the mix. That's basically who ZHC is a clone of, anyways. He even uses the same kind of modified lead holder. (It's comfy so It's understandable)

>>3724481
I agree, he seems to want to be an "art youtuber" and not an artist. Which is fine I suppose. But doesn't appeal to me personally.

https://www.deviantart.com/uturo128/gallery/

I found this artist and I like their art but I want to see if /ic/ thinks it is charming or just generic anime girl shit

>>3723795
Just liatening to his video he sounds like the gym motivation guys to be honest. I thought all artists are shy motherfuckers on camera but this guy seems like he fucked more pussy before settling on a hobby.

>>3723795
he doesn't really sound that bad despite looking like a smughead most of the time
he's just proud of himself and trying to motivate people to work

>>3727989
>fucked more pussy
He sounds gay or at least very feminine. But then again, tons of guys have that weird feminine inflection or "gay lisp" these days.

>>3727989
>fucked more pussy
More like got cucked and is a pussy lmao his gf cheats on him and gave him the herp

>>3727757
I like that rough painting style, he's definitely pretty good. Also, the artist clearly have some subtle affinity for lolis and flatchests, so that's +999 points for me.

>>3725105
>If you want to break into the industry at either Marvel or DC, your stuff has to be exceptional
I want to agree with you but why do so many comic books look like shit then?

>>3728336
Blowjobs are exceptional too
