What the f-
Heck i know right
A B4 piece of paper measures 250 × 353 mm or 9.8 × 13.9 inches.
From what I can gather here, if someone wanted to mimic the paper used, they could try using Strathmore bristol paper. They could use the Strathmore 11 x 14 (inches) smooth bristol in the 300 series, or the 20 x 30 (inches) plate bristol in the 500 series which can be cut down into four parts. It would be more cost effective to go with the 11 x 14 sheets I think but I imagine professionals may prefer to go with plate over smooth.
If the I-C or Deleter brand of manga paper isn't available for people outside of Japan, using Strathmore seems like a good choice. Plus someone could with the right printer print out their guide lines onto the bristol board if their printer has a back feeder. I personally have been doing this with 9 x 12 pages.
BONUS TIP: If you prefer to do pencil digitally, but prefer drawing inks with real ink/brushes/pend, you can actually do that easily if you are using the printing method. All you need to do after you have sketched everything out in a program like photoshop is set the color mode to CMYK, then change the layer properties so only cyan is on. From there, adjust the opacity to be under 50%. I prefer 25% personally, but the ideas is the same. The less blue in the end, the easier clean up will be when you scan in your pages.
Hope that helps all those who are interested in making manga and comics.
@Sean Carl Something else that is worth mentioning is that the methods of how to use screen tones varies big time. Tons of people on youtube tell you how to make screens or "check me out on how I slap this on my art" but NOTHING about how to scan it properly or how to print digital tones to achieve the best printed results.
It would be nice if the people who manage this channel could dig into that.
@Sean Carl You can honestly use what ever kind of board you want and I'll explain. The bottom line is what do you want to make?
Vellum may have more tooth to it, so inking may look a bit rougher than using a smooth bristol. Trust me, I bought two brands of "smooth" and it was night and day what company actually made smooth bristol. The tooth of the paper will effect the final result.
Now let me break down three options here as to possible things you could make:
1. Finished Art on the board (Raw)
2. Art to be scanned in for digital art (Digital)
3. Art to be scanned in but then printed on paper. (Print)
Realistically you could use any size board you want or have on hand if you know how to scale the final drawing to the size you want. Speaking to print, you typically have standard sizes for print that are common in certain mediums of media. Comic Books have a pretty universal size, as to manga that are printed for collection such as Jump books/magazines. There is also tankobon, which typically are smaller than what stories are usually printed at, but collect more work.
The catch is that size after scanning can vary however you like.
The standard sizes of print are there just to keep things easier on printers so they don't have to make custom orders and can easily plug in your work into their print system as to not deal with reinventing the wheel so to speak. You could have a square book, long book , fat book, or even a circle or triangle book depending on what your print shop is open to.
Digital art these days isn't really constrained to the same measurements as print. You can make your work any way you like, but it's best to keep the resolution up above 72 dpi, even if you're drawing digitally. Work may end up getting displayed at 72, but it's best to let work go through conversion so you're not beating yourself up on low res art.
My honest suggestion would be to not get too hung up on the size of paper too much and focus on making the best comic you can. We all can end up spinning wheels with the process porn that tells us paper size this and paper stock that, but you could honestly make a comic on a brown paper bag or note book paper and be closer to realizing your dream. Some people make whole comics on printer paper even. Heavy stock stuff like bristol and such are for those who need a stronger foundation for their work to be built on.
So to anyone reading this comment, if you're new to making manga or comics, just make your comic first and worry about perfecting it later. Better to have gotten in some practice work in than get paralyzed trying to make a masterpiece the first try.
@Sean Carl I know that was a lot of information, but if you have any additional questions, don't hesitate to ask. I would be more than happy to answer.
Thanks for the info
Donten Prism Solar Car is one of my favorite comics of all time! Thank you so much for your work on the book, I even bought Japanese copies just to have them and study them!
THANK YOU! I've been looking for something like this!! You have no idea how much this means to me!!
thank you for the video, it may be short but enough to give a lot of information we need for one item! Following you now!
Thank you for sharing! what a wonderful & informative video!
Very helpful! Thank you for this! Bless you!!
you are a very good manga artist
2:38 That beep sound gave me Figuary flashbacks
this video is very useful ! thanks for making this : )
Thank you! I'm glad you enjoyed it.
Thank youuuu Pls upload more
Cool! Great vídeo 👍
Been founding out what paper does mangakas use. Thanks tatsuyuki maeda for this video. ありがと
Its baffling to me that these guys are able to put in the detail and space into such a small piece of paper!
If you look at the typical american comic page the artist is to use, the paper is HUGE! Allowing the amount of detail more thoroughly.
Its astounding to me.
Did you ever try Deleter paper? if yes could you tell me why you prefer this paper over Deleter?
useful👌
Thanks for the video
Make more video🙏🙏
ありがとう、これは漫画を描くという私の夢を追う助けになります

Where to buy online?
Where can I get this paper? I can’t seem to find it
thonks
You have to learn how to draw from life before you start creating comics, correct?
Did every Mangaka, Cartoonist, etc study from life? Did the people you've assisted learn how to draw by drawing from life, or do they only draw stylized cartoons? Every video, blog, etc I've seen only talks about how to get better in the realm of comic creation, they advertise their products "How to draw" books and the like, they say you should buy this item and that item, but they never say or emphasize in their videos, how to books, etc that you have to learn how to draw from life in order to stylize it. So is it just a myth? Is there a better directive to getting better at drawing that people just aren't sharing? I know this is a meaty comment but I would like to know the truths of how to improve by a professional himself. Thanks.
Thank you for your comment.
In my opinion, I think people learn something just by living their lives. If you think you need to learn something from life to draw good manga, you just have to think what you want to express in your manga, and look back your past what it was that stirred your emotion. And you have to remember that you need to draw the emotion that is shapeless, and you have to understand what viewers will feel about what you draw varies. The technique (of your drawing) will definitely help to pass your message to the viewers.
I suggest you to dig into what you feel interesting about your favorite manga.
I believe the technique is definitely required to draw quality manga, but also stylized things are stylized because it's effective. So I think it's also good to learn stylized techniques.
From my experience, it's important to just draw whatever. You don't need to be perfect. Just keep drawing. I believe this is the fastest way to improve your technique. Eventually you'll know what you lack.
The truths of how to improve exists as many as the numbers of mangaka. These truths can be handled by only those who found it. Even if you try to understand it, if you are not skilled enough, it may be difficult to understand. I think finding your own truth by drawing is most valuable thing.
Let me tell you what you should do more in detail. First, you should draw your original stories (called "Yomikiri") of 30-40 pages for more than four in a year. For the first and second stories, don't ask your friends what they want you to draw, just draw whatever you want to draw. Then you'll see what you lack and what your problem is.
If you have someone who can criticize after you finish drawing, show it to them and listen what they say.
Apologize to be long reply, but the only way to improve your drawing skill is to find out what your problem is by keep drawing.
Most of mangaka I know, they just draw before thinking about their technique.
Quantity over quality. Keep drawing! :)
Tatsuyuki Maeda Wow I really like your thought :) very good.
Tatsuyuki Maeda i know your reply wasn't for me but i find that very interesting
You don't HAVE to learn from real life to draw, like you don't have to know real anatomy to draw comics/cartoons. There's been a lot of people that just learned how to draw stylized Manga art, and became great from that, however they're a little bit restricted in their forms and expression.
What people mean when they say "Learn from real life" means you *Should* learn from the real world before you dare try to manipulate the laws of nature in your cartoons/comic creations. "How-To-Draw Comics/Manga" Books teach you the ways ot get into the manga style but you won't be able to think in 3 dimensions so to speak, your knowledge of art is basically just really flat and shading/lighting knowledge is VERY limited by those books.When learning from real life you begin to learn how sunlight works, backlights and shadows that are produced by them all, you learn the subtle gradation of shadows when there's lots of light conflicting, and when and where to determine these shadows and highlights go.
When you are a "Fresh" palette, and you begin learning from life you begin learning how to think 3 dimensions. Once you gain a certain level of mastery(Please DO keep in mind I'm not saying once you *perfect* these skills, cause you can and never will perfect them. Always ALWAYS room for improvement.) on certain things from the real, mundane world you can begin to stylize the world around you and characters around you.
Learning where to place the spine, learning how the skeleton is structured and muscle/fat is connected to the bone you can then simplify to such a degree and stylize it to such a degree that it becomes your "unique" style.
If you began drawing from certain Anime or cartoons, as they began to inspire you, you'll more than likely always be showing that influence in your art almost all the time, only after many years will you break away from it. But it'll take some time.
I know this reply is long, and I am not a professional, but I have talked to SO many artists at cons, and throughout my online time hunting and researching knowledge. Knowing real life means you'll be producing such a great level of art that even when stylized it STILL comes across as realistic? If that makes sense. Just know that once you gain a certain degree of mastery over "Real Life Art" you'll be able to begin your own style. Just keep in mind that it requires months to even *YEARS* of practice, research, study, patience and focus. Some things will happen for you within a few months, and you'll only grow from there, other things you'll take a year, even 2 to become average, or slightly above average. Just don't falter and keep it going.
*Sorry for the LOOOOOOOOONG reply.. It wasn't even geared towards me lol.. my apologies.*
Yes, you need to study drawing the human for and perspective. Jack Hamm´s book on drawing the head and figure will cause your technique to sky rocket. What makes manga manga is a peculiarity of skill with curved lines, which are accented, and distinguishes mangaka from western emulators. I believe this is learned from writing kanji, thus it is second nature. The thing about curved lines is oddly mastered by cartoonists in the west more than comic artists. It is an odd kind of expression... one has to unlearn what one learned, and develop an allergy to straight lines except when necessary (regarding living forms). I´m sorry I don´t have examples of my comic art on UA-cam yet.

I have a question. Hopefully you can answer this since the video is 2 years old. What kind of paper do Mangaka use to make their volume covers?
they use the same pages as the one they used for drawing manga
They use Tankobon Hardback covers for Manga Volumes & Magazines I’m pretty sure, I could be completely wrong though
私はでリタでかみがかいました
Can anyone help me? I've always wondered if Araki uses B4 or A3. Does anyone know?
@Jacen’s TAIKO channel wow but how can he make such precise drawings with a b4 paper? It's really small
@Jacen’s TAIKO channel what are these?
@Jacen’s TAIKO channel yep :)
@@SearcyX it might be B4 but I have no proof. I guessed so with the size of his ruler
5 years ago I would have bought this thinking it would make me good at art
let me see u draw and ill come back
Thank you for your comment! I'll upload a new episode soon!
