I think one of the key takeaways here is to look at how the style of the smaller roughs translates into the finished images. The graphic nature of Frazetta's work has a lot to do with the way they were planned.

A great Frank Frazetta quote: "There is a staggered kind of a... we like to think of it as a zig-zag design, which is really psychologically interesting, for some reason or other. And I do that. A piece goes out this way, something jets out that way. Interesting shapes is what make it. And then work within those shapes and create the interest and detail and whatever. But I never care about an anatomy study. Design is absolutely first when I work. Design. But then I've got to get character. Then I've got to create some action. But if the design is not there then I've got nothing. As far as I'm concerned. It's an emotional experience. Of course many people are impressed by technique and style and what they consider skill I suppose. And that's fine. That's all very nice. There is a place for it. But that's really last on the list. Originality. Creativity. Look it up in the dictionary. The definition of an artist is a creative person. Who is totally honest and original. Bingo. If you want to appear to be an artist... If you want to convince me that you're an artist... I don't care how detailed it is. I don't care if it's less than perfect. If it's original and comes from the heart and makes a statement and appeals to people like me emotionally, I'll just love you to death."

Sketching thumbnails is the best art advice I ever got. Its like a rough draft where you are also building that muscle memory for the larger work.

Analyzing another artist’s pieces and work process is one of the best things one can do to learn for about art and about themselves.

I don't consume other people's art and my work suffers for it. No inspiration, poor renditions when I am inspired or half baked pieces that don't end in anything. Gonna build me a mood board

Frazetta said many of his things were last minute pieces with no planning. Genius level stuff. He draws women in the most incredible way.

What I love from Frazetta is his way to depicts horses and movements, such as my all time fav artist P. P. Rubens

Frazetta has so many really memorable images but personally, I really love the Tarzan @3:44 where he's hanging off the tree, it just fits so perfect. I feel like Frazetta and Buscema's characters always had "weight" to them, and they were often incredibly dynamic without having to resort to extreme exaggeration.

Very good Tim.

If I could draw like Frazetta I would never be out of work today.

I love this book/artist review. a learn a lot with your videos

Frazetta is my first art god, and this material is so inspiring. I definitely will experiment with my ideation phase cause I really like watercolor feel + this way of maintaining shapes from thumbnail to finished work looks promising. Thumbnails gonna get a new level of quality :D Great stuff here, thanks for sharing this, Tim!

Another great video, Tim. Thanks for all the content here and on your second channel, always look forward to listening while drawing!

This is great!!!! Thanks so much Tim for this! Frazetta was my hero when I was younger and now you are my heroe! Ahaha thanks Tim!!!

Amazing video!

I feel there is this tendency to get it done the first time, especially when you do digital, since you can correct as you go. It’s good to see the process and show the planning stage which really lets you just experiment and get a feel for it before redoing it for the final

Sir please make a video about "comic book inking study " Love from 🇧🇩

ripping off another artist is hardly original.....

FF was a ...very tedious man and a huge liar
