胡也佛在抗战期间迫于生计，不得已以卖画为生。在兵荒马乱的岁月，画画与其它手艺人一样，能勉强维持全家温饱，已是一种奢望。胡也佛初以临摹为主，山水、花鸟、虫草、人物都画，但缺少创意，市面冷清。正在窘迫之际，有个汪姓画商却看中胡也佛的山水画，长期订购他的山水中堂。胡也佛的山水学的是北宋马远、夏圭的风格，属精工细活，一天一幅六尺中堂，基本上每天从早晨四点画到晚上十点才能完成。他自嘲自己的生活为“鸟叫到鬼叫”，工作之艰辛，可想而知。他的妻子染上肺痨，这在当时算作绝症，其医药费、营养费开销极大。

胡也佛的山水行情并不走俏，但他的工笔仕女却很快风靡上海滩。他的人物学的是明代仇十洲笔法，终于以一手“铁线游丝”的绝活而独领风骚。据说，胡也佛为了画好仕女，苦练线条。他练线条的方法是画各种各样的圆：正圆、椭圆、弧线，不但要求一气呵成，而且笔笔均匀有力。因此，胡也佛的线条功夫，至今仍是海内一绝。2000年，香港佳士德拍卖会上，胡也佛的八开《金瓶梅册页》拍出27万港币。香港著名作家董桥随即弄到一幅胡也佛的《金瓶梅》工笔春宫，“精致得惊人”，于是猜想胡也佛盛年时“也画了许多卖钱的春画”，接着又写了《胡也佛的女人们》一文，称胡也佛“一生所画的仕女最出名，都说是仇十洲第二，张大千自认画不出胡也佛笔下仕女的那股媚韵”。还有人称《云烟依旧图》是胡也佛最为典型的作品，“画面气息高古，设色妍丽，构图缜密，刻划细致，云烟苍茫，表现了画家体察万物、与自然亲和的宇宙观和人文观，也是最为典型的文人画作。作为海派中被忽视的大师级画家，胡也佛的此幅精品，定会得到藏家的极力追捧。”

随着胡也佛作品的走俏，市面上鱼龙混杂，赝品渐多。香港佳士德拍卖行曾有其8幅赝品拍卖，起拍价为150万港币。据胡南洲称，胡也佛真迹极少，估计国内最多不超过10幅。胡也佛与宁波籍画家张令涛长期合作，人称“黄金搭档”。他俩以熟练流畅的传统技法，精心刻画的人物造型，华丽多彩的画面，独树一帜的画风，在中国连环画创作史上享有重要地位。胡也佛与张令涛既是老友，又同住一幢楼里，合作十余年，情同手足，成为一对全能又多产的连环画家。特别是古装人物画，信手拈来，神情兼备。帝王将相，才子佳人，妖魔神灵，市井平民，他们无所不能。

一般是张起稿，胡勾线。综观这一时期上海人民美术出版社出版的古典系列套书，几乎都有他俩的作品：《西游记》中的《怒打假国丈》，《西汉演义》中的《暗渡陈仓》、《追韩信》，《三国演义》中的《三国归晋》，《红楼梦》中的《宝玉初会黛玉》、《王熙凤》、《黛玉葬花》、《刘姥姥救巧姐》、《刘姥姥进大观园》，《东周列国故事》中的《宋襄公》、《楚汉相争》、《韩信拜师》、《自称帝王》。在津美版几十册的《聊斋》系列中，胡也佛与张令涛合作的《辛十四娘》、《小谢》、《娇娜》是公认画得最好的作品之一。他俩的代表作还有朝花版的《红楼二尤》、《女娲补天》、津美版《双生赶船》、人美版的《杨家将》（其中五册）等，其它还有《班超》、《梁红玉击鼓讨金》、《夏完淳》等。胡也佛绘冀美版的《盘丝洞》、《蔡文姬》，用笔特别洒脱。他还画过大量古典题材的连环画封面，这些都成为连藏界精品中的精品了。
