  • In this video I walk through all the steps I take to make a comic from beginning to end in Procreate using the iPad Pro and the Apple Pencil. I walk through how to make panels and how I like to do lettering all the way to the pencils, inks and colors.

    For the panel frames, I've been able to draw that frame and resize it, then duplicate it to a new layer and resize that. Once you have an entire page you can merge all those layers.

    Really helpful insight. Thank you for sharing.
    I know this video is a few years old now. For the panel layout Canvas > Drawing Guide with Drawing Assist is likely a quicker method for the panels with the current version. Should mean less time drawing the panel lines and erasing as it can be done with the 2D grid as a guide and drawing assist will snap your line automatically.

    Thank you for this informative video! I just discovered your channel and I quickly subscribed. I used to draw my own comics years ago and, while I wanted to pick it up again, I wanted to learn to use technology. I can't wait to get my drawing pad (from your reviews I recently read), and get started again! Again, thank you!

    I have recently converted to using Procreate to create my comic strip (instead of pencils, inks, and Copics) and yeah, lettering is one of the hardest parts for me. Especially creating the word balloons. Thanks for the great video, I'll check out the brush and MediBang.

    • @thebradcolbow
      @thebradcolbow  7 років тому

      Yeah, I end up pulling it over to the desktop most of the time to do the lettering and balloons, just much faster.

    • @3polygons

      I think the video is a really interesting and creative solution/exercise, but in my work, I always keep the k.i.s.s rule. There's the power of the iPad (well, and even more in a Windows or Apple machine), you have available apps for everything. Doing it painful in stages where it shouldn't be (is just a matter of the relative youth of the iOS and the app, and due to it being just a tablet) might cut too much time and remove too much fun out of it. After all, also time is money (even if don't charge by the hour.) . In 2D/3D, am too used to switch all time between many applications to know that the typical disadvantages are small (exchange formats, bit of a loosing focus at he beginning, etc) compared to what is gained in time and ease of work. He indeed kind of says he does so, typically. When an app , in my desktop, doesn't do all what I want, I don't loose time with a complex workaround, a mixed workflow is best, as otherwise frustration might show up, and mountains of hours lost, when trying to do all with the same tool, unless is sth like Photoshop. Anyway, when working at companies, you are forced to do so (work even with very crude alpha apps apart from your fav tool) often, due to external reasons, and the habit make the matter of swapping totally natural. That besides iPad is not yet, (unless am missing some important info) yet fully independent in a professional workflow, so, anyway the mix is needed. Still, I give a lot of value to this video, as at some point you might be forced to work all inside Procreate, for whatever the situation or circumstances. IMO wouldn't be usually the case.

      Because why not, I downloaded one or two speech bubble brushes for Procreate. I don’t make comics, and doubt that I’m gonna get that much use out of them, but they’re there in case I need them?

    Excellent end-to-end walk through. Thank you for taking the time to put this together. I love that you did everything in one app. Even with the challenges to create panels, it was a good show of what can be done in Procreate. After watching the video, it inspired me to draw for the rest of the evening. Btw, have you considered creating panels on individual layers so you can move them around and resize them? It might be worth having a collection of 'common' sizes to work with. You might even create a stock project that you could duplicate each time you start a new comic. Just something I was thinking as you were sharing the panel creation challenges. Thanks again.

    • @thebradcolbow
      @thebradcolbow  7 років тому +2

    ALso Bro you don't need to detroy your linework by drop filling in the colors, just select the "reference" feature in the layers which allows you to drop colors but in different layers but with the constraint of the linework, allowing you to quick drag and drop colors(or paint bucket if you wanna call it that)

    Hey Brad, I hope you’re doing okay! 😇 I noticed you said at the end that you would have to transfer this page to your desktop to resize it. Would you have to do that if you had used a surface pro? Is this something they fixed in newer iPads? Inquiring minds would love to know! 😊 thanks

    Perhaps you can use this, once you're done inking the panels (frame), go to your layer and choose select, it will make the selection based on your outlines. Use the selection to create a new mask for when you're painting. That way there's less cleanup to be done. My 2cents. Cheers!

    I had a question on drawing the comics. When drawing the panel, can't you draw one square large to fit the whole screen, draw your character in and pencil in the dialogue and then resize it to fit the rest of the other panel squares? Can't that be done? That means, one panel square per layer, drawn really large, then shrunk to the normal size. Please let me know if that can be done and proportionately reduced?

    @makarone 7 років тому

    Good way to draw panels on the ipad is the vector app called iDraw, ( or Inkpad), or Autodesk vector drawing app.
    You can export pdf, or copy and paste group from there to the procreate.
    But it can take time to find a right size of the frames.

    btw u dont have to duplicate the linart layer to use the fill tool, just set the lineart layer as a "reference" and then u can fill it on another layer. also u can add text in procreate, and i think u can also import ur own font too.

    There is a lettering tool go to the tool bar, press the wrench. The. In action there should be a line that says “add text”, first edit it ( there is a botton on the top right) there you chose the font, size, if you want an outline,and to change the colour press the colour botton.
