which has more in depth content? proko or newmaster?
My all time favourite artist both for what you produce but also for the process there’s something about watching you just “go” that’s so cathartic and inspiring.
Drawing hats are hard

Think of it as a primitive first then convert it into a hat.

Great video, Ryan. Keep them coming.
I've just started drawing at the age of 61 and look at this and think I'll go back to gardening.

Noooo! LOL, Don't quit. You can do it. Try a little bit everyday.
its mesmerizing to watch you draw, masterful flow of lines
Love your work Ryan! I am 70 pages into my comicbook, right now I'm inking the first chapter. You with David Finch and Jim Lee have been my inspiration for making comics! Thanks and keep it up!
Perfect video for a morning sketch session. Thanks Mr. Benjamin!
I'm not a beginner but I love taking advice from the masters wherever I can get it >:] but seriously Ryan as an artist your philosophies and hearing your thought processes helps me with my own, I really like seeing how you think!
Great video very informative and motivating mr. Benjamin!
Very helpful. Love your work!

The key to understanding how to draw and improve is to constantly draw everyday. Make sure you have a sketchbook with you everywhere you go and draw what you see before you decide to go towards fantasy. Stay loose and draw fast.
Awesome video Ryan! Getting back into it and these help a lot

Glad to hear it!
I really appreciate the advice. I'm an old beginner in my 30's looking to learn to draw comics, and the advice about staying in sketch mode for longer is something I struggle with. I always feel like I'm on a timer for some reason. Thanks for the video!

Age should not matter. Art is art, just don't quit. Stay vigilant to current technology and take advantage of it.

I *know* you spent time picking Frank Miller's brain... (not to mention Jim... and Whilce) you gotta share some! 😀
Amazing GREAT advice - THANK YOU! ~
Thanks for the tips! I was wondering if you could do a video wear you show how to draw the arms from different angles. Thanks. ( I did watch the other how to draw hand video but I didn’t know if it was the front or side. Anyways, thanks 🙏

Many people have trouble with hair. I had the same issue back in high school. just raw a bunch of "S" and "C" that will usually fix the issue. I will try to do a video on that.
wow very nice :)
Hi Ryan, I draw every single day for 4 years straight and I still struggle a lot with drawing eyes in a comic style. I can't seem to get out of the "amateur look". Like it does always looks unprofessional. It's so irritating it even became my art block sometimes. Artists like you, Jim Lee, Frank Cho or Swayart seem to have that face structure and eyes done to perfection. I do not get what to do... I am trying to make a comic book and learning how to draw in digital (just got a tablet) but frustration catches up.... I know I may not be the only one with this issue so I hope your answer helps me or someone else. Even if anyone knows something about this topic even. Thanks❤
Aye. Ryan. We gotta save the planet dawg. They trippin' Get ready like I know you already are.
Hey Ryan, what pen did you use in this video?
Yo Ryan do u have a ink or a sketch version of a comic?
RB: I just let my pencil do the thinking. Me: Can I borrow your pencil? Mine is stupid.
Is the discount code still working on GUMROAD?
sketching a comic page with a 6B terrifies me
Just wanted to let you know your discount code doesn't seem to be working on gumroad. Unless it's already been used up or something. The option to even input a discount code doesn't show up on the page.

Is the video sped up? Or its just how you draw?
I see that you messed up that chin with a bad ink spot Ryan 😂😂 I saw that Good drawing overall though
The face kinda looks like Jim Lee's style.

Jim trained me for years. He was my boss at Wildstorm. Still friends to this day.
I Honestly love your sketches alot, Just my opinion but Inks just make your Drawings lifeless, They take all The energy from your beautiful Drawings!
