  • Learn one method for how to analyze and apply another artist’s style to your own work. Esben Rasmussen teaches you the thought process of how he samples the style of JC Leyendecker and then shows you how to redraw a video game character in that style. This is a 2 part series with part 1 focusing on quick sketching a pose and in part 2 he’ll show you how to finish the piece by painting in that style.

    I love Esben’s outlook and approach. Starting with analysis, taking notes, creating a solid plan for a foundation, using references, immersing himself in the feeling of the art, then analyzing more critically. Great methodology as well as embracing the mistakes to move forward testing ideas.

    Thank you for this video I definitely need to watch a lot more of your videos when I have time so I can really level up my art as your teaching some next level stuff!
    Most art videos on here teach the basics but your one of few that goes beyond the basics to teach how to really make your art look professional and more 3D!
    And I’m glad you manage to do so well also teaching stylization bc imo anyone can make a realistic and well done copy of life drawing but the hard part as an artist is to take all the things that make a still life or copy of a reference look good when going to stylize art or draw an original character

    I went to a museum in Newport, Rhode Island where they had paintings from both Leyendecker brothers. In addition to Parrish, Harrison Fisher, Rockwell, Pyle, and other illustrators. Though, I've grown up around a lot of Sargent pieces, I often look elsewhere for my favorite impressionists. Renoir, Monet, and someone the old school impressionists. Then, Aragones, the Garmashes, Razumovskaya, Pino Daeni, and bunch of the contemporary romantic impressionists (given or take a few decades, because Aragones was a Barcelona contemporary of Dali's). Then there's Petrov who literally animates oil paint impressionism.

    Guys for all of the people saying his style is not Leyendecker, he is not trying to copy Leyendecker's style, to begin with, he uses him as a reference on how to approach shape design, silhouette, 3 dimensionality, and mainly how to stylize realism. your style doesn't need to be exactly like the artist you get inspired from unless you want to.
    plus if you went to his instgram you can find some artworks where he intentionally copies/studies Leyendecker paintings onto league of legends champions
