Mister Stan I have a question ,I have been watching your posts for over a year, and in one of them you guys mentioned the name of a Greek fellow artist that the US department of education, had him draft a drawing manual .. I can't remember which video that was in ..🙏 can you remember his name, I'm pretty sure it was you that threw the name in to the conversation. I lost my laptop in which I had the specific info and I don't know why but that type of scribbling I like

i think its kind of like the posterize effect in Photoshop where it reduces the values down to light, dark mid-tone and with the lines you use thin lines (sometimes even no lines) for where there is more light on an object and thicker lines for heavier shadows. Also you can graduate the line width with pen pressure or using brush pen and drawing at different speeds. Would be very good to see in a video though

how quickly he can put a basic sketch together , its masterful. a great artist can take a long time to work, but a masterful artist that can draw so quickly for me is another level of impressive!

That was so inspiring to hear the story before getting hired, expecially the six months of serious prep for the real world. Glad it happened!

As a classically trained artist, who’s switching to comic styles, I tell everyone the same exact thing about “connecting the dots” ! Love that he said that ! He’s great for stuff like this

Those tips on hair really blew me off, he is a fantastic teacher.

Ryan is an incredible wholesome person.

There's something magical in watching the real pros draw

Love the red pencil explanation, loved the mini Hulk story!

Actually David banner was snag that we called Bruce banner in the 80’s tv show. I assume he is referring to that.

@floatingdisembodiedhead8975

There's a little backstory why some people called him that. "David" is his middle name or maybe it was Bruce. Stanley always had trouble remembering names, hence why most of his creations has alliterative names to make it easy, like Peter Parker or Reed Richards. Although evidently he still has trouble with it. One day he forgot Bruce's name and just called him David Banner in the comics. So when a reader asked him about this he said that his full name is Bruce David Banner, hence why it stuck for people who were from the older generations.

It's so fascinating, listening to Ryan. 20 minutes is too short, I would pay him a drink in a bar and listen to him all night long. :) It's funny, Jim Lee's X Men is the first comic I bought with my own money back in the days, and it was a huge punch in my face. 25 years later, it's still a huge influence for me.

What do you like about Jim Lee? I prefer jeans Lee anyday.

Love this. And as a dad, I especially loved hearing about his dad's support of his work.

The story was so amazing. He is so passionate and you can literally see he loves what he is doing.

His face drawing made me think he was inspired by Wildcats and by then end i was proven right. It's funny how the "DNA" of your influences bleed through. Artists belong to a pretty cool lineage.

i wish i could get that level of passion for art back

I want to see so much more of Ryan Benjamin! I LOVED LOVED LOVED hearing about his foot through the door with Image, this video was excellent!

It's nice to see this style of comic art is still alive and well. The medium has seen a lot more variety especially in super-hero genres which is good but the semi-realistic/gritty style is my favorite.

Can we just get a whole course on nothing but comic book styles featuring Mr. Benjamin and Mr. Finch? That would be awesome.

Lots of great advice from a great artist. I saw a KZread video of a comic book artist who spent about 12 years making a comic book. Listen to Ryan and work fast and efficiently. Proko videos are brilliant. ❤️🖌️🎨

Love that the "David" Banner slipped in there. TV Hulk is so good. Awesome video. Hope we see more from Ryan.

Hi, Stan. Have you ever thought on inviting a mangaka like Yusuke Murata(one punch man) or Takechi Obata(Death note) to one of your videos, or talk bout their styles ?

Ryan Benjamin is just great, and not just artistically. Great vid!

What an interesting video! I was never really into comics, but his passion is inspiring!!!! He really makes me want to draw more often! It just goes to show what can happen if you follow your interests and put in the hard work!!!! Congratulations to him and thanks for wowing us with his talent!!!😁

From that starting scribble you can see he's done it thousands of times and could do it blindfolded.

Oh my gosh, I just love him...... and his story, he's so sincere, honest and dedicated......

Nail the eye first , soo true

Awesome!!! His demo and storytelling had me cheering for him. Man, thanks for this upload. Truly, inspiring!

I'm loving these comic videos!

Ryan is absolutely awesome!

I need this guy to teach how to construct dinamic figures in perspective so I can trow my money that way 🙌🔥

Bro!!! Your dad is a fucking legend - - my hero...!!! 19:12

That kind of art is amazing

So inspiring !! Thanks, Proko !!!

Man, that story sounded so cool! Amazing demo as well.

Amazing artwork, and his story is even better. Thanks for sharing, Ryan.

So simple..... yet extremely effective 😍

Thanks, Ryan, you are the BEST!

Thank you for this helpful lesson

Thats incredible! an awesome story too.

amazing!!! i love comic art style so much

So much passion. I love it

So a damn great story, so inspiring. Thank you!

Amazing, great story, thanks

Amazing skills, so inspirational for us young artists.

That moment when he walks into his comic book shop to announce the call is such a feel good moment. Thanks for sharing that!

Loved this!

Nice talk and video! Thanks Proko!

So good! Ryan is a lovely person

You make it look so easy.

Though I don't like a part of his attitude which sounds like "Overwork yourself with art until you burnout" - because I have had that in small scale and I can't recommend being exhausted from art mentally and physically - I really loved listening to him and watch him draw! He seems like a very symphathetic person! =)

This guy is awesome!

God bless you Ryan! 😀

Awesome story of sticking to it until you make it! Great video!

Brett Booth is insanely good!

This is a great video, informative, and fun to watch!

Awesome!!!

Came for the tutorial, got inspired by his story. Thank you Ryan.

That explains why your style is very similar to Jim's. He's definitely my top 2 favorite artists.

draw everyday. that should be a religion itself for us artists. i wish i started doing this in my teens or early twenties. ive been drawing everyday in the last 5 years now. i have gotten better but i probably would have been way better if i started ten or fifteen years ago.

Love your story 😊

That reflection trick was so neat

Loved that Superman piece at the 20:00 minute mark. That was The Thorn with him? Never seen her so buff.

He has an awesome story! Amazing personality too :)

more stories please!!

Love proko is vids

Awesome story.

What a great storyteller.

That tattoo is a spider man logo .... Awesome 🙂

Oh amazing content man’ what a cool way to think of drawing the head!

Aww mna, what a could dude!!!🔥🔥 what and inspiring artist!!

I remember the first time I met Ryan I was a student , and he was with Sean Galloway, aka Mr. Cheeks at a wonder con in San Francisco. Both of them were amazing to talk to and a wealth of knowledge.

i can't wait to have as much talent as this man. i know it'll get there and i cant wait for my ipad so i can practice my digital art as well

AMAZING!! Ryan...you're an awesome artist and a teacher...would love to be in your class soon

NICE!

Very nice!!!!
