Here’s someone who’s artwork is quite inspiring. His work is what you would see from an art department of a production film. You can see character designs, set/location designs, vehicle concepts, etc.

Sometimes artists are given a vague concept, with which they can “run with” and come up with inspiring pieces that further develops the storyline.

On the other hand, sometimes a movie script is very fleshed-out, with lots of details, and the artist is asked to visualize what is written.

All in all, it seems to be a very rewarding occupation.

Alex Ross – Artist

I used to draw comic books.

Not a lot, just for a short stint — about 4 or 5 actual, bona-fide, gen-u-wiiine issues of pictorial literature.

I like to think I can draw pretty well when I have to, but I think I take better photos than I draw.

In any case, drawing comic books meant I read comic books as well. However, I would normally go for work with art that I admired. So, from time to time, I’ll share some of my thoughts on artists and illustrators.

First in line:

Alex Ross

Here’s an artist who took comic book illustration to a new level. Using watercolor gouaches, he opened people’s eyes to the comic book form with the limited-series Marvels, telling from the point of view of a civilian, the experience someone might have living in a world of “marvels”, super-powered beings.

The series was a big hit — new, different, and refreshing.

I have no doubt it played a role in the recent rise in popularity of comic book character-based films.

In any case, feel free to check out Ross’s work at AlexRossArt.com
