Watch Me Draw Hitler…





Although like every other intelligent person on the planet I despise everything Adolf Hitler ever stood for. Subject aside, I think it turned out to be a nice caricature. Since it was such a simple design I thought I'd record the process of finalizing the art. Enjoy the process, not the subject.... Cheers.

    What an odd drawing program you’re using. What is that?!

    Hi, newish reader. That’s a great design–I’d love to see him animated. (But not re-animated, if you know what I mean.) When I’ve done digital “inking” it’s been with Anchor points and the Pen tool in Photoshop. I should give Flash inking a try, I think.

    Thanks for sharing; I love your stuff.

    Wonderful! I love these little movies of yours. I could watch them all day. You’re magic!

    Thanks, again,

    Lee

    Hi Brad!

    Impressive! I didn’t realize all that could be done in Flash:)

  7. § Krishna on January 19th, 2006 at 11:12 am

    Very Neat! What program did you use to create the illustration?

  8. § Sukhbir on January 22nd, 2006 at 10:23 am

    Sir,

    Surely you could have selected someone better than Hitler.

  9. § Velvet on January 22nd, 2006 at 8:46 pm

    well hitler is a funny charcter to draw..
    thanks for sharing your technique. what program did you use btw?

  10. § adam w. on January 24th, 2006 at 2:10 am

    impressive to see how an illustrator works. how something can go from nothing to complete in just a matter of moments.

  11. § MasterM on January 26th, 2006 at 3:38 pm

    Oh that?s pretty much like how I do stuff in flash. What I like about is: You do vector art in flash. People will always look strange at you when you tell them you use Flash for vector art. They will be like ?Hu? Flash? I use Freehand/Illustrator? and I am like ?vectors are vectors so it doesn?t matter which program you use?
    So yeh what I am trying so say: It?s always nice to see other people that also use Flash for vector art and not Illustrator like nearly everybody.

    I always love to look at your website/blog and I always like to get a peek into other peoples sctechbooks, etc. But that was very cool!! Thanks for sharing with everyone!

  13. § Fitz on January 28th, 2006 at 3:38 pm

  16. § Keks on March 1st, 2006 at 8:29 am

  17. § motuika on March 1st, 2006 at 12:56 pm

    Flash is a software from Macromedia. it’s mainly used for animation/webdesign…
    although its quite expensive, you can get it from http://www.macromedia.com;
    the newest version is: Flash Professional 8

  18. § Uwe Keim on March 4th, 2006 at 3:16 pm

    Serdar Somuncu would love this drawing.

  19. § matt the ninja on March 8th, 2006 at 2:22 pm

    wow. the application of that program was is a job well done. I, atrocious and haneous acts he comitted aside, love drawing Hitler. Turning him into a zombie makes me happy and the sense of dread i feel looking at him intrigues me. Cheers to you for sharing your art.

  20. § Mr. Hilter on March 9th, 2006 at 7:44 pm

    Hrrrrr… This is a very nice F?hrer, indeed. Hrrr, not much fun in Stalingrad, hrrrrrr. Mor Lebensraum please

  21. § uli on March 11th, 2006 at 12:58 am

    fitz, only one of the guys in teh comments had an issue with the swatika. he just didn’t get it. the others arte making fun of him.

    here’s the translation:

    “one of eherensenf’s points is to fight against the picture of the ‘evil german’in the world. for example that of artist brad fitzpatrick. oooookay, he’s just showing his visitors how he illustrates drawings on his computer. and that is pretty interesting, like the rest of his homepage.”

    that’s it.

    cheers

  23. § Mickey! on April 9th, 2006 at 8:17 pm

  25. § Tori White on May 8th, 2006 at 7:31 pm

  26. § Steve on July 31st, 2006 at 4:53 pm

    Do you know Illustrator CS?… you can do that alot quicker… and get better results. I design/draw/paint in Illustrator, give it try…..

    Great drawing.

    Steve

  27. § RJ Navarrete on September 12th, 2006 at 7:33 pm

    People, the program is MACROMEDIA FLASH!

    FLASH!

    MACROMEDIA!

    MACROMEDIA FLASH!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

    There you go.

    Great illustration bro. Love it.

  28. § amanda pavano on September 30th, 2006 at 7:08 pm

    that was kickass…what program did u use to do that

  29. § Claire on January 9th, 2007 at 5:28 pm

    I love how you incorporated his ear into his actual personality. Hitler was an awful person, but his body and face were like a little caricature, he is fun to draw. Another one you should draw is George Bush, equally insane, and funny looking too!

  30. § lindy on February 11th, 2007 at 12:37 am

    i’m trying to learn to draw and i loved your demo. very interesting to see how you went about it. i would have tried to use the pen tool instead of drawing lines and then bending them. nice one!

  31. § hamid on February 28th, 2007 at 3:21 pm

    i just think ur great man, thanks for sharin!!

  32. § brian on May 11th, 2007 at 12:44 pm

  33. § ar4yyyy on August 18th, 2008 at 9:07 am

    Nice. I drew my Hitler-PEZ dispenser from this.

  34. § Wasim Mohammed on January 7th, 2009 at 8:22 am

    Hi I like this and also your rose drawing too. the Hitler subject just reminded me of something my brother found in his back garden. If anyone can help me find out exactly what it is it would be really helpful. I took pictures of it.
