      highschool, or the one I went to, did "not" teach this kind of thing, it was the basics of art, like drawing still-life and paints, etc.... :( Even college doesn't always teach you what you would like to learn the most and you end up paying big time for that.

    I think the really cool thing is even if you just take his guidelines like how he does the pelvis or how he does pentagonal hands, if you actually use all his tips, even if your rendering is different or the eyes aren't the same or w/e, you can still capture a similar feeling to Jim Lee's work

    I don’t get the “thumbs down”. He doesn’t HAVE to do this. We didn’t pay him to teach us this. It’s free. He’s an instant Hall of Famer. If someone doesn’t like this vid... they can simply scroll to something else.

    My first how to draw book was "How to draw the Marvel way" written by Stan Lee and illustrated by John Buscema. I bet you Jim Lee read that too as a kid. Even with all these youtube vids, just get a copy of that if you love comics and want to draw. Fantastic addition to all these learning tools.

    Damn, when he flexes. Damnnn. You can tell he's been working hard hehe! And like prior comments have told, it does show in his art, and that sometimes detailed or lengthy drawings could be taxing, and sitting around a lot can have adverse effects to the body so it's important to move around too. So, it's nice he has a peak physical condition as well cuz it actually helps in drawing too and sitting down, keeping a good posture
