McGinnis is frickin amazing, and he is still painting softback covers for Hard Case. One thing I don't remember them showing in the documentary was his thumbnails. He worked a lot from models and did a ton of little drawings til he got his compositions how he wanted. Then he would blow them up. I know most of those old illustrators used projectors, it definitely wasn't an age thing. It was more of a generation thing...it was their technology back then..HA!! It's the equivalent of our generation scanning in a small rough and blowing it up in photoshop. Same thing with the Renaissance guys and the grid thing. Why work so hard to redraw a perfectly good drawing, especially when you might not get the shapes or energy captured the same. I like MaGuire's stuff a lot as well, if you go to comic art fans you can find a lot of his gouache thumbnails...just amazing little paintings.
Yeah i saw McGinnis was still painting. And they are still freaking amazing. Yeah that's one reason i was confused in the documentary, because i had seen his thumbnails before, as well as his color thumbnails. I have the paperback covers of Mcginnis book, and they show some in there, and as well from my many journeys through the internet too have seen his thumbnails. Oh yeah i know, its the same as a lightbox etc. I hate feeling like you have lost the energy from an original thumbnail or rough.
I like Maguire's work too, but i have not seen enough of it to the extent i have of Mcginnis'. I did want to get the book on his work though. I will have to type him up on Comic Art Fans. I always love going on there and typing up McGinnis' name and seeing what people own. Some people are very very lucky, ha. I saw a few paintings for sale on Graphic Collectibles, but they are already gone, and were so out of my price range, haha. There was a Modesty Blaise one i really liked though, i guess the jpeg will do for now.
