I didn’t even know Alex Ross had an official YouTube channel until just recently. But I stumbled upon it not long ago, and hit the subscribe button. But it was only today that I really got to dive into it and absorb some of the content on there.

If you’ve ever read Mythology: The Art of Alex Ross, which I absolutely adore, you’ll find the channel covers much of the same ground. It’s Ross being interviewed about his creative process, his inspirations, his journey as an artist, etc.

Particularly interesting for yours truly, even as someone already in his 30s, was listening to Ross talk about his early days trying to become a working artist. Whether you’re an artist or not, you can take a lot of what he says and apply it to your craft. I liked this video in particular.

Ross also has a passion for the more classic and iconic versions of these characters, which is very much evident based on how he usually draws them. He also has tremendous insight into who these characters are at their core. Case in point, the vids below.
