Adam Hughes deserves to be at the top five due to his technical, design, and narrative skills as well as his accomplishments. His art style is a combination of pinup and art nouveau. He pays special attention to lighting and details such as textures. His works make the characters feel so alive because of how realistically they are drawn, and people want their favorite characters to seem alive, as well as the way he makes them their own person. An example of this is his large illustration of the iconic DC women. Hughes gives each of them out outfit corresponding with their usual costume and personality. 
He takes care in making the faces especially, and is great at drawing a person’s likeness. For example, his Star Wars display the main characters and you instantly can recognize them as Harrison Ford, Carrie Fischer, and Mark Hamill.

Hughes’ anatomy and coloring technique is frankly admirable. He has said he colors digitally with a mouse and the lasso tool in Photoshop for covers but for con sketches uses Copic markers. Still, the way he blends, shades, and draws in general makes the sketch just as amazing as any of his covers (and not cheap).
