The fact that a major thing like killing of a character for the sake of a better plot comes while showering is so relatable gahhah creative arts really doesnt have 9 to 5
I’ve been working on a comic since late December of last year. I know what happens in the middle and end of the story. Straight up, have a lot of stuff planned out. The beginning is what kills me. So far I’ve just been working on character turnarounds, outfit concepts, and character relationships. The first part of the story is what’s going to fumble me every time I go back to my plot brainstorming document.
I’ve got the same stuff, but I don’t have the middle, even tho I know the ending I want, and the beginning which im drawing. I don’t even have a clue what im gonna do to connect the end and start other than a fully drawn 8 chapter training-sparring arc
Just a suggestion but maybe try starting ur story in media res (in the middle of the story) since u already know it. Maybe a eye catching scene that captures the audiences attention. Then go back in time and try to think abt how everything lead to those events. It’s simple but works super well. The walking dead did it with its first episode and it’s imo one of the best first eps in any series.
In writing terms its called "The Madness in the Middle"...in your case "the madness in the beginning". Story outlines sometimes help to iron out the overall structural flow. Like the other guy said...try to search some writing structures...you got this!
Just to give some perspective: Akira Toriyama wrote pretty much the entirety of Dragon Ball (including Z as they aren't separated in the Japanese manga like they are in the anime) essentially winging most things. And he created literally THE most influential manga not just in Japan but worldwide. So, don't think that just cuz you don't have every little detail planned out that that means you're not ready or good at making stories.
There are so many examples of artist who do that, even today. I think people who actually think that the only good stories are completely thought out beforehand are just very ignorant.
So from a business perspective and a quality of writing keeping the idea of how and when you want to end it is a good idea. Don't get bogged down with exact details in my opinion, just overall idea that you can build to. However it is not necessary for your story to be successful. I believe the creator of Naruto was asked a similar question and he said he only knew the chapters up to around 9 would work out when creating it. That first mini arc is probably one of his more solid writing arcs. But he still didn't know the start to finish of the story and is hailed as having one of the most influential and biggest manga/anime of all time. When I was in a writing class they said this, "don't figure out your end of the story to early. If you do, you limit your direction for the story." It's true if you know every detail of the end it was harder to be imaginative for it. I would guess, don't quote me, Eichiro Oda, probably knew the idea of the end from the start of the series but has only concluded the exact 90+% of the details in his head somewhere in the last 2 to 10 years out of 22 ish years. It is very important to have a direction for your story so you make a good story, but it is not necessary to know everything because you limit the path and ending of the journey you are telling in my opinion.
I think the middle of your story is where you get to be the most creative. Since authors mostly say know the beginning and ending of your story but they never say the middle.
@@shadowslayer9988 I would say in some sense your right but also wrong. Cause part of the goal of the Middle is to get to the end/build to the end. If you limit your path to the end by having every detail thought out you constrict the middle and its creativity. The middle can be highly creative if done right though.
personally my story has the end planned because I'm writing a sort of twisted fairytale. it's the origin of captain hook. everyone knows his his story goes, but only the end. how did he get there? is kind of like heartless if you've ever read that. it's the origin story fir the queen of hearts. it really just depends on the kind of story you're writing. are you writing a character who is learning who they are or getting to their destiny?
I’m not sure i could be a famous manga artist like Horikoshi or Oda, Oda deadass told his editors they need to be willing to die with one piece bc only they know the ending
I know this isn't related to the topic of the video but I LOVE THE APPLE BLACK VOICE ACTING SERIES SO MUCH!!! I'm watching it for atleast the third time! Can't wait for more!
When it comes to stories for me I would do these steps: 1. Write down ideas how the story would start. [for my Future manga it starts off in a war of some kind.] 2. Character design, names, and backstory. [I've made 16 character names, designs, and backstory I always play it in my head.] But I changed my ways on how I make a story. Currently I made four main characters, and a few others and such. I'm doing my best to slowly take inspiration from anime, cartoons on how their stories start or take place. I also take info from different cultural outfits, designs, etc. I take the information and try and form my own original imaginary cultural outfits, world's, etc. Anyway, I hope you like my thoughts on story making. I would like to here your thoughts and tips to make a good story, anyway bye be safe! ^^
10:24 HAHAHA OMG I know this feeling, sometimes a crazy idea just appears out of nowhere; I remember how suddenly I thought about some very grusome scene that may happen later in my story and I was shocked by myself, first thinking "oh no, this is too horrible, no way it will fit" etc, but then I reminded myself about stories like Attack on Titan, Black Butler, Tokyo Ghoul etc and I became a little bit braver 😏 sometimes I feel so emotionally engaged I even cry, I wonder if other creators can relate. To me it must mean I'm doing it right, I hope...
Lol one of my characters I just created today has a fate worse than death… literally. I really don’t want to kill her like that, but this story is so gruesome, I have to show that fact to the viewers...
I started my comic by sheer accident. Wanted it to be a 3 page comic but one panel was kept blanc because i had no idea what to do with it. In the end the panel got filled but needs to supper of another 57 pages to be logical. So it will be MAX 60 pages and the pages i have are from about... in the middle of the story so i am working from a center to the start and from the center to the end at the same time. I kinda like it but ofcourse it comes with some problems. dunno why but wanted to share this
I'm about to experience directing (along with voicing and editing) a Space Engineers series for the first time, but I already have a storyboard, voice actor list between my bro and I, and the script for our pilot episode. I'll tell you right now, if you're doing serialized anything, set your concepts up for one chapter or episode at a time if you can. We have a 3 month deadline for all of Fall, so plenty of time to work, and after that, we should be able to iron out problems in our workflow.
I'd advise knowing the first few chapters, important moments, and the ending. That's it. The story may become more chaotic, which some people don't want their story to be. But don't over-plan before even starting to make it, if you then decide to change something later down the line as you write, then you may ruin the story you had planned.
I have a few questions 1. When and why did you what to make a manga? [Did someone motivate you or did you think it was a good idea out of goodwill?] 2. How long did it take to make certain characters? [Their race, culture etc] 3. How long have you been doing art? [ When did you start drawing or when you learned to draw?] I aplogize if these questions seems personal I'm just curious.
I want to draw graphic novels for a living. I have been writing since I was 12 years old. So it's been my dream of getting my worked published and out there for people to buy. I like drawing and writing characters. And I've been drawing since I was 4 years old. No one said it would be easy but this is what I want. Using your imagination is fun
You have a lot of time I remember I was self taught in art at 5 to 6 yrs old my best advice is when you can get this project of a graphic novel going now now because by the time you're way older it's ready or at least been given enough preperation to get started . Good luck on your path now 🗿👌✨️
When it comes to creating your own comic, especially if it's your passion project or main focus, it's crucial to understand every aspect of it from start to finish. If it's your baby, your Golden Goose, your main comic, then it deserves your utmost attention. Knowing all the key features and important details about it is essential because it sets the foundation for its success. However, if you're working on something less serious or part of a series but not the main storyline, like a SpongeBob-type comic, you may not need to delve into every detail from start to finish. The major difference lies in the level of freedom and structure each type of comic offers. For instance, with a serious comic, you may feel more restricted creatively, but this constraint can also be stimulating. It forces you to think critically and develop coherent storylines, akin to playing a video game with rules you set for yourself. On the other hand, a more cartoonish comic like SpongeBob allows for greater expression and spontaneity. Understanding your characters is paramount regardless of the comic's tone. Whether it's SpongeBob or a character like Luffy from One Piece, knowing their origins, motivations, and development arc is crucial for consistency throughout the series. Luffy's journey exemplifies this, showcasing his growth and adventures while staying true to his core values. Ultimately, the key question is: How well do you know your characters, and can you maintain consistency throughout the series? Whether your comic is serious or whimsical, understanding the nuances of storytelling and character development is essential for its success.
Thank you for telling that story can be flexible in progress. Its always freaks me out when i starting writing and the things going in another way i thought:___)
The three-act structure is not the best one for long-form storytelling. Obviously, there's four and five-act structure (five-act is often seen in Shakespeare for example), but most Shonen manga does not fit well with 3-act structure. Steve Shives has a GREAT video where he likens long-form storytelling to album structure, i.e. how the songs on a music album are arranged to tell an emotional story. We see this a lot in concept albums in genres like melodic death metal and progressive rock. But this structure can also be applied to some of the most popular manga arcs, like the Saiyan and Frieza sagas in Dragon Ball, and even the opening four volumes in My Hero Academia.
Idk if this’ll help another because I struggled so hard on this, for years. Once you know how to start a comic/manga/story, it’ll come more smoothly than how it did previously.
Good points! Great video! With knowing the key points in your story you can also better hint at things, leave secret clues to things but most importantly, you can tie all your story beats together in a meaningful way. Everything is connected. You can sort-of do this when you make things up as they go, but it’s definitely easier when you outline the main key points of your story. I personally don’t write scripts (I work alone) perse but I first outline my entire story. Then when I get to a chapter I will outline the chapter and then I do the same thing for scenes. Just bullet points. Saves me a lot of time. (I used to write my comics as a novel when I was a teen)
It's really useful and cool, but the beginning and the end are both important, especially the main thing is not to lose the atmosphere of the manga by the end and not make the ending bad. I hope that we will see a video about the narration (Or whatever you call it even.. What happens in acts, actions to actions, uh, is difficult хд). Thank you so much for the video, love your channel :D All this inspires and makes you go further to the dream to be at the level of idols (It's a pity that they will only laugh at it), but let's try Хд
It was difficult to draw, wasn't it? I guess, because looks wonderful and this half-comic style is also fantastic. How did you get into that type of video content? I like telling stories on my channel and discussing some things, for example. I also practice my English and haha, sometimes it's funny. I laugh a lot watching my old videos which is pretty cute imho.
the biggest struggle for me is not knowing how to properly adapt a story ive been writing for a decade, I tried a book, didnt like it stopped writing after 2 chapters, I can't self publish it because i want it to reach at least close to the acclaim of a shonen top 3 and tbh itll take me at least 20 years just to get close to the ending, I want it to be a black and white comic or webcomic but im still quite unsure as theres a lot of "story" and ive already started storyboarding a short film im animating as the prequel to the prequel to establish the primordial lore and worldbuilding that the main story is in a millennia later. But this is only one of many worlds ive crafted from the ground up and my art skill isnt at the level i want to start it yet
2:10 it's me but I want to have 40-50 chapters 😭😭😭 4:22 yep, so I have these points figured out and the ending too, plenty of scenes or pieces of dialogue but like you say, I give myself a lot of room for flexibility
I kind of want to approach my story the way Mashima is approaching EdensZero right now. Knowing the main plot points that need/have to happen in the story, but be blind on the middle points of it. It's fluid and structured at the same time
you said that we need to know the story to a certain point but, for example, we know the beginning, the plot twist , maybe the time skip or the arc change, but do we need to know what's inbetween before to start writing it? like what's gonna happen in that chapter/arc or how to express it? also what brush you're using during the video? i love it
Honestly, with the one on writing. I have an idea of the ending and the arcs along with the power ups. I feel you should have an idea but it's almost impossible to know every scene/detail leading to it. Just know the key points.
For my series, I want it to make it my manga project full of episodic stories where the main character undergoes a series of adventures. I wonder if having episode stories would count for a manga series. 🤔 If I'm wrong about that, let me know.
I’m forming my story in my head at the moment, I know how it begins but how it ends is a dilemma. I like the concept of heroic sacrifice when it’s done right but at the same time does a main character HAVE to die or go missing for a story to be good?
This was something I was having a bit of trouble, but the video helped me gave a clearler idea. For Whyt: How do you go about making an arc for a series? Also, what do you think about when making symbols for Apple Black?
I'm more of a comic fan, but I have a few questions. 1. How can I interest both comic and manga fans for my comic. 2. How do I advertise or market it to people. Can publishers help? Cause I don't use social media much.
I have the concept done in my head, been thinking about this for years. Of course none of the characters exist or are necessarily thought of, the power system is.
Hey! I loved this video but i have a small question. What is the best site to publish my story (manga)? I've searched everywhere and everybody gives me different answers. I am new to this whole thing so its kinda scary jumping into it.
I really like your anime and I want to make one too and I want to say how come you didn’t try to go to Shonen jump because your anime is really amazing
I just wanted to know how long u spend drawing (as an estimate) per day. Just bc I want to know how much and how easily I can balance my art full time in the future thats all
I'm focused on the first part, 18-20 volumes, will finish the 4th volume this year, If I can make 1-3 volumes a year with assistants after that, I'll be done in less than 10 years. may hire an artist like myself for the heavy lifting for the rest of the series, spin offs, sequels and more, if successful with the first part of the series.
"Holy ghost smash that like button." and perhaps some other hints can be found in your series Apple Black. My question is this: are you a Christian? If so, I would love to contact you about some questions I have about being a Christian in the comic industry.
what about the setting and architecture and the whole city basically... how much of that is designed first before starting or do you just wing it after having an idea?
Hi Whyty manga, I need your advice, what do you think I should call my manga, it is about characters who make use of spirits in order to change their destinies/fates
Oh.. sorry I don't have any money so I can't order the novel, still sounds really cool though and I won't stop watching your videos even if I haven't read the manga
Do YOU know your story for your projects from start to finish? Help me get to 500k btw!
Yes. I am working on a series myself. Start it from 2018. Now volume 1 is published
I do, but it's unfinished and I started in middle school. Once I improve everything I should be good in 2 or 3 years.
If the world was just, you'd be closer to a Mil by now. still tho. it's been amazing seeing you kick ass over past several years.

@@isaacstokes3132 That is how it be sometimes. Ever searched up story structure?
Just a suggestion but maybe try starting ur story in media res (in the middle of the story) since u already know it. Maybe a eye catching scene that captures the audiences attention. Then go back in time and try to think abt how everything lead to those events. It’s simple but works super well.

Sick Ryu man
you said that we need to know the story to a certain point but, for example, we know the beginning, the plot twist , maybe the time skip or the arc change, but do we need to know what's inbetween before to start writing it? like what's gonna happen in that chapter/arc or how to express it?
also what brush you're using during the video? i love it
The funniest thing is when creators have things planned but vocal fans sway them. I've seen that ruin series or potentially make them so much better
I know what happens in the beginning and the end of my horror comic but I still need to work on the middle part 😅
I'm glad I found this channel it helps a lot to have and inside perspective
Honestly, with the one on writing. I have an idea of the ending and the arcs along with the power ups. I feel you should have an idea but it's almost impossible to know every scene/detail leading to it. Just know the key points.
For my series, I want it to make it my manga project full of episodic stories where the main character undergoes a series of adventures. I wonder if having episode stories would count for a manga series. 🤔
If I'm wrong about that, let me know.
I’m forming my story in my head at the moment, I know how it begins but how it ends is a dilemma. I like the concept of heroic sacrifice when it’s done right but at the same time does a main character HAVE to die or go missing for a story to be good?
Currently struggling with this because I have a bunch of characters back stories but trying to tie them all into the main story is frustrating
Highly informative guide. Thank you 🙏🏼
hey! loved this vid. have you considered making any about the publishing process? querying, submissions, how you got your start, etc?
I already have some of those and will be making more very soon!
I know how my story is gonna start and I know how it will end but I don't know the middle LOL
lool holy ghost smash. I try to have a rough idea of what would be a satisfying ending to my stories but things do change as I go.
This was something I was having a bit of trouble, but the video helped me gave a clearler idea. For Whyt: How do you go about making an arc for a series? Also, what do you think about when making symbols for Apple Black?
so amazing. Thank you for This video
😍
Literally came back to ur channel
I'm more of a comic fan, but I have a few questions.
1. How can I interest both comic and manga fans for my comic.
2. How do I advertise or market it to people. Can publishers help? Cause I don't use social media much.
good stuff
just starting here have a great idea just gotta draw it out haha
very useful dude, keep inspiring :D
I have the concept done in my head, been thinking about this for years. Of course none of the characters exist or are necessarily thought of, the power system is.
Hey! I loved this video but i have a small question. What is the best site to publish my story (manga)? I've searched everywhere and everybody gives me different answers. I am new to this whole thing so its kinda scary jumping into it.
I would like to know this to
Good question
I want to start writing my own story one day
For me, I made the beginning, but I don't know what to do now. I know the very end, but I don't know the middle and start of the end.
I really like your anime and I want to make one too and I want to say how come you didn’t try to go to Shonen jump because your anime is really amazing
Your style is so alive man. like animated but sh#ts not moving... Key advice on length and keeping things loose so you can update them as go.
I still stuck in outline. Trying so hard to limit the idea because I want to make the short stories yet I keep complicating and add too much details.
I think I depends on comic to comic
Especially depending on the genera and length
Tho you should at the very least know what the general outline is
I just wanted to know how long u spend drawing (as an estimate) per day. Just bc I want to know how much and how easily I can balance my art full time in the future thats all
Mann can yall believe dis attack on titan final season is coming next year
So how long do you think it will take you to make a series that has like 30 volumes?
I'm focused on the first part, 18-20 volumes, will finish the 4th volume this year, If I can make 1-3 volumes a year with assistants after that, I'll be done in less than 10 years. may hire an artist like myself for the heavy lifting for the rest of the series, spin offs, sequels and more, if successful with the first part of the series.
@@whytmangatv Ait thats cool. Excited to see where this series is headed
Ago ur art is sick
"Holy ghost smash that like button." and perhaps some other hints can be found in your series Apple Black. My question is this: are you a Christian? If so, I would love to contact you about some questions I have about being a Christian in the comic industry.
This was instructive and funny.
what about the setting and architecture and the whole city basically... how much of that is designed first before starting or do you just wing it after having an idea?
This is really true advice
Honestly for years thought you were Whyt lmao
10:30 thats tough lmao
I don't draw but i can write so once i flush everything i want out. Ill collab or hire a manga artist
You say "long term" and "short term", but I think you mean "long form" and "short form".
Does the screentone on manga or comic images use manual or digital in today's era?
30 volumes is still a good length
what are the numbers of people who read on saturday am, cause i can't find any figures.
How can you draw like that I need you to teach me please cuz it is impossible to make my own story
What's the song at 13:13
whyt have you ever thought of making a sequel or apple blackverse?
CONVERTING A NOVEL I TO GRAPHIC NOVEL/COMICS

Yes, you should or you will make another Star vs the Forces of Evil

@@whytmangatv thanks, currently writing my own manga and haven't gotten into illustrating just yet, but you've helped me quite a bit
Oh.. sorry I don't have any money so I can't order the novel, still sounds really cool though and I won't stop watching your videos even if I haven't read the manga
How do you come up with a title?
There are multiple ways to come up with a title, but I think it just depends on the contents of your story; You’ll find it after Deliberation.
Pls obtain chapstick
🔥🔥🔥🔥🔥
