“I even tried making comic books in illustrator.”
*nervous sweating*
I wanna read this dude's comic.
I don't see why not.
Right!? I'm super used to Photoshop and I was going crazy just with the thought of having to go to illustrator in order to get something printable
@@hukes Agree! I mean, Illustrator is called that way for a reason)
And it has a lot of tools, dedicated specifically for drawing and editing your illustrations efficiently (though it also has enough nuances to frighten a newbie user)
But considering the fact that most of the comics use simple flat colors and crisp strokes, it seems only logical to use vector program for that. + with vector, you can freely scale your artwork to literally ANY size without any loss of quality.
I tried making comics in Illustrator too. It was really time consuming.
9:00 SAVED MY ENTIRE LIFE suddenly my crops are flourishing and I am getting adequate sleep bless you
That transparency lock ... I wish I knew about that 3 years ago. Also, I had no idea the selection had a contraction option.
Yo, that shading technique BLEW MY EFFING MIND!! To think I would go about it the long way, by color picking the individual colors, and then choosing a darker hue to paint in the areas to be shaded. Now that I have been exposed to this method, I'm never utilizing such a cumbersome method again! Even the way you setup the panels was really streamline and efficient. Good shite!
You can do the same thing with lights
Thanks dude, I wish I learned this in college. I'm a digital media major and 90% of my classes were either coding or math classes :( Hardly any art related content
Im completely self taught. I loved this tutorial because it showed me everything I was doing right, and everything I was doing "wrong" (ie, yo there is a way faster way to do what you're doing.) Thank you so much, I'm so happy and motivated right now- I'm almost positive I just shaved 1 hour of time on all my future comics.
Dude making a comic page for “MerMay” this year. This helped tremendously, thank you.
Superb. I'm a slow ...visual learner, so I lowered this brilliant man's video speed to .75 to have more time to follow his step by step instructions. I love this guy. Thanks helpful UA-cam video making artist guy. :-D This really helped me take my skills up a notch. Very grateful slow learner here. Subscribed!!!
That lock transparecy effect BLEW MY MIND , I subbed just because of that , thanks
thanks for the tips! i especially love the cell shading technique you use. it's a time saver for sure.
oh my god this whole video blew my mind. i've been wating so much time correcting little mistakes. thank you for this video. it's by far the most useful that i've ever seen
You're a great teacher. Thanks for sharing your technique, it's pretty smart.
It's a very good video. Super time saving. I'm an amateur and starting from the bottom. I've been in that time-consuming method phase and I've been in intermediate phase. I think, now, it's time for me to polish my technique and my own style. Thank you for teaching. ☺️
I'm so glad I clicked on this video! There were so many small shortcuts that could've saved so much time in the long run. Thanks for making this!
THANK YOU SO MUCH!! sequentials have always been my achilles heel! not after this video!! you broke it down in a simple way that i could follow and i'm thankful!! you gained a new follower!
So much great info. Jesus. I've used Photoshop for more than a decade it seems, and half these tricks absolutely blew me out of the water.
Fantastic. I've been using CS2 for donkeys years and you've just shown me something invaluable that I never knew. Thanks.
this is so awesome. ty ty so much for sharing this. just what I needed. .I'm in the process of creating this Anime comic book. my first 1..I'm had no idea the saturation part where u added shadows was another way of adding that. I know you also could put a darker color near the brighter color but had no idea. I'm re-learning photoshop. appreciate it!😄😆😅💪👍✋
Excellent tutorial, everything we need to start drawing a comic book!
just starting off with comic and this was just what i need to get me going really appreciate the demonstration
4:58 first thought it was "OH HELL NO"
😂 so Willsmithian
Atomix Dunno
XD
Brookes Eggleston - Character Design Forge what did you use for the sketch
atomix dunno
But oh hell no it wasn't.
This is exactly what I needed. Before I always used the lasso tool and colour everything manually
Thank you so much! Can't wait to get started on my comics
Thank you for this! I honestly thought it would be a whole different (and complicated) process. This really helps and I can't wait to put this knowledge to use. :D
Will be starting my web comics, this is an awesome video! Thanks bro
Fantastic information, even after nearly a decade. Thanks much! I'll have to poke around and see what other tips/tricks you've posted since, haha.
I recently got photoshop and this was so helpful, because I've been so confused for the past week.
Thanks Man, very informative .....
now i try to create my comics by photoshop
Awesome! I didn't know about that "alt-click" trick to mask lines going off from a shape below. BTW, enjoying my lessons from the Character Design Course :) I'll send you some feedback later on as work is getting in the way ATM :)
This is GOLD! Thank you, helped me out a ton!
WOW THIS IS JUST FANTASTIC. Thank you! I will try to watch this video as many times as possible so i can learn everything!

I'm working on comics using renders from Poser, and transferring them into frames, and you just made my life 100x easier, thank you!

This was quite helpful thanks. I was struggling to find a good way to set up panels and this helped.
Best short tutorial ever. Many thanks!
THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS WAS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED RIGHT AT THIS VERY MOMENT. YOU ARE A GODSEND.
Best video on this subject I've seen so far
Wooow! This was an amazing tutorial. I am new at making comics, so I wanted to learn how to make good comics, and how to make them digitally as well. Thanks!
This process is so efficient, thank you for sharing your methods! I use some of them in my usual process already but still was able to learn something new. But real questions asked, for how long has there been an eliptical marquee tool in PS?? I feel so lame now LOL! 😂😂😂 I've been using this program for like 15 years and still not a single day passes by without learning something new 😅
ngl this is one of the most helpful art videos I've ever watched. Thank you
This video saved my senior year project, THANK YOU!
Lots of great info here. Thanks for sharing your process.
Awesome tips here. Thanks so much for sharing your skills!
Its so well and simply explained 🙏thank you
very well done... i will be using a few of the techniques straight away
This is so well done, thank you so much!
Very helpful. Fast way to do the inking and flats. Ty
Incredible, you can't imagine hoe useful this video is to me. Thank you!
You are amazing!!! Loved the video. Thank you.
This helped me make my first comic, thank you!
This was simple and cool thanks bro!
Thank you for making this tutorial! I draw about 3 comics per day at school, and I've decided to digitize them so this really helped!
Imagine having the motivation to draw three comics per day
@@raynieyogurt9086 Hehhhh if only I actually kept up with it lol. Instead now I do one drawing per week. Motivation has significantly gone down.
This was extremely helpful! Thanks a million!
Thank you!!! It is really mind blowing! I really learned a lot from your video, yes and I almost wanted to do it on Illustrator haha. I am glad I watched your video first thing before start, and now I am gonna proceed to try Photoshop!
A gold mine, thank you so very much!
Great tip with transparency lock.
I think I need to watch this a dozen times. So many good tips.
Thanks for sharing this . Very useful.
I didn't know that the pencil tool wouldn't create that line! You have made my life SO....MUCH....EASIER! Thank you. And before I hated those ugly lines that pencil tool made. Now they are my friend.
Very cool tut and highly useful! And it can be translated into almost any graphic software. (I use Krita myself) Thank you!
Wasteland Seven same
I kept trying to figure out who you look like every time I watched your videos and I FINALLY figured it out
Mike from Friends!! Ugh took me months lol great tutorials btw much appreciated
OMG, this saved me so much time and so many layers.
This was exactly what i was looking for! Thanks!
Thankyou, amazing tutorial!
This is a slower version of the way I work... I use clip studio. Put all the inking and pannel boarders into one folder and set that to refference layer. Next, I have a fill bucket that reffers ONLY to the refference layer and automatically overflows by 3 pixels set to a shortcut key. Now I just swap to whatever layer I want to work on, pick a base colour, and while holding down the shortcut key, start clicking everywhere I want that colour. easy as pie.
great video sir. learned lots!
You are helping me so much❤️
Thank you this have been very helpful
12:53 NICE word bubble technique!
This was great. Thanks for sharing 👌🏻
wow this is very informative and help me. thanks bro
Omg!! I have been drawing comics for a couple years now and the tip at 6:00 is what I've been looking for! Thanks for the tips. :)
This was fantastic thank you!
My only suggestion would be an alternative to the clipping mask approach approach for the the panel border bit. Instead of turning every single drawing layer into clipping masks, place all the page's panel drawings in a group (which I call the 'page layout' group), ctrl click the layout layer making a selection of the panel boxes, then create a layer mask on the group containing all the panels and their respective drawings. You'll get the same results sans the hassle of clipping all the drawings above the panel layout layer. Plus, it's nice being able to tidy up and compartmentalize all the layers into nice panel groups for each page! But once again, I'd say this video is still one of the top most informative and useful vids on setting up a comic, coloring, and shading there is, and I've watched a TON!! I'm surprised when I see people take the most pointless, cumbersome, and complicated approaches to things that can be done in 2 steps, achieving the same results. You're the man, keep it up!!
Also a great method! I'm comfortable with masking, but I know for a lot new to Photoshop it can be intimidating. Thank you so much!
Could you make a video tutorial of this? XD
this is awesome. thank you
Super helpful! Thank you!
Thank you so much for the help
Really good explanation!!!!! 💪❤️
That’s even some serious useful work!

This is amazing... amazing tutorial... ty..
Wooow thanks so much !!
This video was soooo helpful omg
Couldnt find any comments about how this guy looks like Paul Rudd so... This guy totally looks like Paul Rudd! Great Vid!
+Zachary Lee 😂😂 Thanks Zachary
This is an amazing tutorial, especially for someone like me who is a total novice! I have a quick question if anyone could help me though: whenever I try to use the paint bucket tool like he does at 4:00, it says pixels in a group can't be edited without merging the group? Thanks in advance, and thank you so much for making this!!!
Thank you very much....you are great...keep it up....❤️❤️❤️
6:06 how to do that when I have the layers in a group?
Very use tricks. Thanks.
Thanks a lot. Keep posting more videos. It helps
Oh, ive made literally hundreds since this video. I can keep making them when the audience supports them. So watch the other videos, and il keep making them!
Brilliant!
thanks man, very big help.
Such a great tutorial! Which version of Photoshop are you using on this?
Thank you! This is Creative Cloud, but these tools go back probably further than CS1! I have a list of everything I use at brookeseggleston.com/resources/ :D
