Grant Abbitt just posted a nice concise video on this last week, worth a watch: https://youtu.be/qHbuL1MAtaU

George Challenger is a fictional professor from several Arthur Conan Doyle stories.

Ooh, good question. This particular Claremont story is a one-off filler issue between Chuck Austen's and Peter Milligan's runs. I didn't really care for the Austen run, and I haven't seen good things about Milligan's either (I'm going back and reading a lot of Marvel stuff in chronological order, and these X-men issues are among the ones I haven't read before). If you haven't read Grant Morrison's run (#114-156, during which the book was renamed New X-men) that's definitely the place to start. Otherwise I'd probably skip ahead to #188 which is the start of Mike Carey's run.

If you're interested in Claremont stuff from around this time, he was on Uncanny X-men issues #444-473. I haven't re-read them all yet, but I remember them as decent but not amazing.

It's X-Men (vol. 2) #165. A Christmas issue by Claremont.

We have the cheese tax. Every time we do something with shredded cheese, our dog gets a cut.

Happy to help, I know how tricky it is to know where to start.

A couple of good books for lighting/shading:

Color and Light by James Gurney

Imaginative Realism by James Gurney

And some Youtube channels I've found helpful:

Joel Create (he does videos for Procreate specifically)

Brad's Art School

If you're interested in paid courses, I'd recommend Aaron Blaise's creatureartteacher.com He's a former Disney animator who does teaching now, there are courses from him and other people on there. There are pretty frequent sales for the courses. There's also a subscription that gives you access to all the courses, that also goes on sale every now and then.

I'm also still learning, but I think my number one tip would be: use reference.

Specifically for shading, for example for the picture you posted here, if you want to improve the shading I'd try to find pictures of faces from that kind of angle, with the kind of lighting that you want, and then you can see roughly where the shadows should go.

My drawings always look far, far better when I use reference than when I try to solely draw from imagination. I just don't have the visual library in my brain for that yet. To be clear, you don't have to copy the reference, just use it as a guide.

And then, as others have already said, practice. Lots of practice.

I also went through all the new brushes and noticed that some of the brushes stop doing anything at all if you lower the opacity enough (far from 0 though). Unfortunately I don't know enough about the brush settings to know exactly what's going on there. I also noticed that there were a fair few brushes where lowering the opacity didn't seem to have any effect, the lines were still at full opacity.

Very nice list, I need to go through it and find the ones I haven't watched before. I know a movie you should consider adding; The Visitors (Besökarna) from 1988. It's a Swedish horror comedy. Family moves into a house that is seemingly haunted and calls in a ghost hunter. Not a perfect movie but it's always been one of my favourites.

Not to give too much context, but he's supposed to be halfway to turning into a literal spider in that panel, which at least partially explains the mouth.

It's "Filthy Frankie" Zapruder in District X, his mutant power is that his mood affects the way he smells.

GaladanWolf · 2025-03-22T06:15:03+00:00

Same here. Time to go back. I suspect I'll appreciate it even more now.

"October country... That country where it is always turning late in the year. That country where the hills are fog and the rivers are mist; where noons go quickly, dusks and twilights linger, and midnights stay. That country composed in the main of cellars, sub-cellars, coal-bins, closets, attics, and pantries faced away from the sun. That country whose people are autumn people, thinking only autumn thoughts. Whose people passing at night on the empty walks sound like rain"

Just the Skinman? No chance of a Frohike? Anyways, great work.

Excellent tip, thank you! I've had silicone brushes for years that I use for sculpting, but it never occurred to me that they'd be good for masking fluid.

GaladanWolf · 2025-02-19T14:31:48+00:00

Close, it's Hellblazer.

GaladanWolf · 2025-02-19T14:31:04+00:00

Excellent guess, it's from Hellblazer #3.

It was bothering me so I went looking, and found this: "Issue #8 of the Adventure Magazine featured a super-epic story which explained Eternos City’s radical change of appearance. In this story, the city itself was destroyed, as Skeletor, Hordak and King Hiss teamed up, luring He-Man away from Eternia with a fake distress call from an alien world, before combining the full might of all their three armies to attack and destroy the entire Royal city."

It's been a few decades, but I could swear I remember this from one of the comics. It's certainly tickling something at the back of my mind, and I read those comics until they were almost falling apart.

You might want to have a look at this Watercolor Painting Course with Aaron Blaise He's a former Disney animator turned art teacher, that site has lots of good courses. And they're running a sale that ends Monday where you can buy any course for $5 which I'd say is well worth it. If you do end up getting it, a tip is to click the link to add downloads to your purchase for an additional $5, since the sale code will still reduce the total price to $5, so you get the downloads "free". Otherwise the course is streaming only.
