Hey I've been watching so much of ur videos, I just discovered ur channel and it's really helpful. A lot of these tips u shared in ur videos I could relate to because I've done some of these techniques without even realizing it but I still made note of them because they are really helpful and I know I'll need it more in the future. A lot of if not all of ur advice is extremely helpful and I would definitely recommend ur channel to others who hope to create a comic book
For the first fight scene in my graphic novel, I had the camera medium with a side view, treating it like a storyboard, and showing all the action from that one perspective and being sure to show the first guy struck down still hitting the ground/falling as the second guy was being struck, and same for the third. Basically I wanted to tell the reader "this is happening over the course of maybe 3 seconds" to emphasize how easily the main character can take out random bandits, so I had a clear goal in mind for the camera position and panel composition. The end result was I had very little to change/redraw when it came time to do the revision pass on the book despite that only being the third page I'd drawn.
That's awesome to hear. And that shot works perfectly for an entire scene of fighting (watch the love action Oldboy movie if you haven't already as they do it perfectly in that.
@@BrinkleyComics That movie is a perfect example of what I was going for. The character in my comic was even using a hammer (though hers is more like a maul).
I have been following you for a while, and I really enjoy your content mate. Thanks a lot for the useful information. I am a manga/comic creator, and i am working on multiple projects at the same time (4 exactly) and i still manage to make them without sparing my mental and physical health. I think motivation, shortcuts and planning really helped me out.
@@BrinkleyComics well not American style comics, it is more like 1 manga, 2 webtoons, and 1 illustrated childrens book . Only the two webtoons are out currently , one is my personal project while the other i am only the artist for.
I think it's important to talk about the 180 deg rule. Sure, you can break it when you need to, but without knowing it the reader is continually trying to reorientated where the characters are every time you cross the line. That takes the reader out of the flow of the story/action.

Ah thank you mate. Is that 4 comics or a comic mixed in with other stuff?
