Which sketch book is that jake....??
Hey! Any suggestions on short comics to read?
thanks jake. what you do is very cool .
jake I just finished plot writing. then I proceed to the storyboard, and then to drawing. then scanning, then drawing in clip studio. this is my method. advise something))
my english shit but hopefully understand
This must be really annoying but I really wanted to ask what ink do you use to refill your brush pens
This made me want to draw another comic again. Thanks for sharing your passion for Hellboy Jake!
Jake, how do you always know the perfect topics to make a video for? Seriously, this is the third time in a row you’ve posted a video covering PRECISELY something I’ve been looking into and starting to study.
EXACTLY MANS LOWKEY A GENIUS
Exactly! 😅😃
Hey man nothing go to ur story and say to your friend or any member
U will get the result
"Jake, how do you always know the perfect topics"
By stealing other people's content I would think.
What a sham of a barren talentless back you are sir!
I have NEVER seen someone breakdown a story/comic/sequential art this way, especially that its Mignola, JUST WOW, this is SO cool, please do more of these!!! 🙏 🙏
Vids like this, Artist like Jake just makes me fall in love with art even more 😊
i can't get over how good "Darkness Calls" is.
Fun Fact: I'm in the first semester of art college in my hometown in southwest Brazil, and this quarentine hit us in the 3rd week of the class and we are devasted because we are super excited for it, and inspired by Inktober we created a list of themes for drawing during this enclosure weeks. The themes are:
-Mitology(tales, creatures, gods, etc)
-Studio Ghibli
-Cyber/Steam punk
-Literature
-Arquitecture's from the past
-Fantasy
i don't know if everyone is excited as i am but i'm diving into it LoL ...
Anyway, thanks for the inspiration!
Keep on drawing and have fun!
Hello, how did your semester go?
Thank you so much for speak about color for situations
Thesis: All For One
Antithesis: One For All
Synthesis: All For One and One For All.
Excellent breakdown, thanks
Man, I can't emphasize how much I needed this insight and how much it has helped my process. Thanks Mr. Parker.
*casually drawing masterpiece*
Love Hellboy, and your work as well. You always have great insights in your videos.
2 page comics are hard to do! My favorite Hellboy short story is the one where he tries pancakes .. It's adorable!
He'll never come back to hell he just had pancakes
This was fantastic, Jake! I love Hellboy and never saw the comics in this light. Thank you!!!!!
Hey your channel is amazing! I’ve been trying to write comics for about a year and a half now and have a hard time getting ideas onto the paper. You lay things out in a very comprehensive and informative way that not only makes me a better writer and author, but gives me a new appreciation for my favorite comics! Keep on making amazing videos, Hope life is treating you well. Thanks!
I love " The Ghoul". Incorporating the classic poetry of Shakespear and others into a story of a monster who eats the flesh of the dead was Gaiman levels of brilliance!
Can you make a video of you explaining how you make your skeleton for your characters and how you think of what they should look like
This was an incredibly helpful and informative video. What a great way to break down the material.
really great video Jake. Thank you! Honestly wasn't too sold on the idea of breaking my story idea into short stories but this helped me better understand what you meant. Now I'm really excited to push out some short stories! Thank you!
I just read the Dr.Carps Experiment and your video came out. Unbelievable!
I know I now have a better understanding of mixed metaphors lol... peeling back they layers of a pyramid
Excellent analysis! It sheds a new light to this story! Thanks!
Gotta love Hellboy
just what I needed when I needed it! gotta love Mike Mignola :D
Hey Jake! Your short comic videos have helped me so much and I keep coming back to review it again. I hope you’ll be posting more videos again, and maybe a video for creating a longer, serialized, maybe webcomic length comic? Thank you so much, I hope you are well during these times.
Excellent breakdown of the story structure!
perfectly explained. Thanks a lot mr. J!
Really love your analysis, I love mignola's work, you sould make more hellboy videos!!
Loved it! Thank you Jake!
This was so cool jake, thanks for sharing this with us. Ive always wanted to do a short comic, but I didn't know where to start.
Gonna check this out Tomorrow! Thank you so much for this one!
This video definitely reinvigorated my desire to tell stories through comics/GNs! Time to get to work!
Holy shit this was made easy to understand!! Thank you so much!!
this is just great, love it
LOVING THE VIDEOS LATELY, ITS SOME GREAT CONTENT
Thank you for this! Surprisingly not many people share the same amount of fascination for the folklore-inspired short stories (side quests) than the main plot. For me some are hauntingly profound and others are witty and eerie. You chose the best story to communicate the mastery behind them, hell of a job! ;)
Thanks so much for this video and your others like it! I keep getting ahead of myself and designing big story projects (probably because I mostly consume longform stories) and I want to learn how to make things smaller so I don't overwhelm myself. Plus I just love talking about what makes good stories work!
Awesome! I love hellboy
Love this! Thank you master!
this was so awesome thank you so much Jake I wish you had a class like this with feedback on our own stories
thenks master jake parker
Great stuff. thanks man
Excellent video thank you!!
Thanks Jake😁👍
Great video Jake!!! Tyfs. Stay safe hun Much love to you 💞💞
good stuff. nice breakdown.
Cool. Great breakdown. Thx
Awesome video, thank you. Great intro music
Amazing
Awesome
My dude, I’ve followed your art on pinterest and now I know you have a UA-cam im watching it all the time
I GOTTA read Hellboy now you've convinced me
Shmaro-caro also check out BPRD from the same Hellboy universe. It’s like the best tv series never made.
You also got to read Lord Baltimore. It's a separate series, but it's so good.
Who's here 2021??
Hello Jake!
That video was very interesting!
Good luck! - a fan from Hungary.
you had such a nice pencil scetch, being able to make Mignola-styled illustration, but going for such a casual way :(
Love Hellboy!
Fantastic video, just awesome. I am woring in a personal comic book and I feel all that struggling, I highly recomend to read "the anatomy of a story" of Jhon Truby to follow more in detail what has been explained here.
I love this new series about comic making!
I bought the "Drawing Comics" series on SVS years ago, but I feel this is a great addition to it, build on top of it!
love the new intro
Tieran Holtet it looks flames
Hey Jake!
I just had a thought, how about you do a whole series like this, for instance you could analyse a studio Ghibli film or another comic, maybe even an animation like the apex legends animated shorts. I would love to see this a series.
Thanks for reading :) have a nice day
@desperado just shut up
Is it me or he finally smiled in his intro
dude you are really underrated
Hey Jake. I hope you are doing well. If you can ever make a video, can you please make a video on how to decide or come up with a style for a book - graphic novel or a picture book project? Thank you soo much. All the love to you!
My favorite comic book characters

really nice critique just the view of color and word balloons are very insightful. Those are things that people would have noticed subconsciously as they were intended, but there is no way most people would see that subtlety. Thank you very much for your insight.
Hey Jake. Excellent video. You have a few different formats of Hellboy(library edition, digital, etc). Why? lol. I've heard about the omnibus edition and such. What do you like about each?
What reader/app/service do you use for indie books?
I know this episode was about comics and of that sort.... but.. I really want to see you do more straight up drawing, just getting out a piece of paper, sketch and ink. I know it probably isn't alway practical, but that's what drew me to your channel and art in the first place. Just watching you create as you explained and gave some great advice. Right now I'm just happy you're making videos again, but I'm dying to see your creative process more often.
cool. Yeah, I'm about due for some back to basics drawing videos.
Dope!
How about a series where you break down all the short stories? :)))))))
Can make a video talking about using marker
I want to know how in the many years he wrote hellboy comics, like many long franchines from getting boring?
Yes dude
Can you do invincible?
thank you so much for this. elementary school teachers please take not and cut the crap with the "beginning - middle and end" bs
"He's just a regular guy, but he's anything but regular..."
Oh, him too?
Thanks Jake for all that you do for the community. Does this apply to things like a children's book as well? I am trying to get a start on my own children's book and I don't know where to start. Thanks!
It does apply to children's books. Though some story books are more of an extended joke with a punch line. There are some that do follow these beats. I would take some time and study a few of your favorite children's books and see what makes them work.
@@jakeparker44 Thanks for the advice and the breakdown in your video. Maybe it's what I needed to start putting pencil to paper.
What sketchbook do you use here? And what would you recommend?
Jake what kind of ink are you using for brushpen?
i have a question , is inktober only black and white or can you use colo(u)rs
Hey Jake, I don't know if you take suggestions from the comments section here, but since it ties into this miniseries you've been posting lately; what about for those situations where, you have your characters set up, but you need a setting for them to shine in? While it kinda ties into worldbuilding, it's less about overbuilding, and more about giving them an appropriate playground.
Can you make a short video about how to design a robot.that will be a great one.pls reply
Awesome video Jake. Really cool analysis. Quick question, and I'm sorry if you get that often but what is the pen you use to ink your Hellboy sketch? Keep up the great work!
That's a Copic Gasenfude Pen.
@@jakeparker44 Thank you!
This is brilliant as always, thanks Jake! I love the analysis you brought to this comic. If you want more of this, sign up to Jake's Patreon or take his classes on SVSLearn.com, he has a bunch more lessons on the craft of comic storytelling.
One small quibble: The demon they summoned was Hellboy himself, not the monkey, they used HB's blood to demonify the monkey. Potentially to make an army of demon monkeys without the hassle of the summoning ritual? Thanks again, Jake!
I like that explanation a lot!
Jake
Jake where are you??
Hmm, dunno. I think it depends on the type of release the author is doing. Usually, publishers and editors aren't interested in one-shots for an IP debut. But if you're an author with an established IP and big audience, one-shots are great. My editor advised me to keep a self-contained story/ story arc (graphic novel) between 80 to 100 pages.
Great video, Jake! :)
I agree in regards to traditional publishing. But if you’re just starting out and are self publishing you can learn a lot and gain confidence in your craft by doing short stories first.
@@jakeparker44 True!
this is exactly what I needed. 1000 thanks from hungary plus 1 like
hey can u put a vedio that how to draw robot. pls pls pls pls pls pls pls pls big fan brooooooooooooooooooooooooooooooo

Hello Jake how have you been, I am currently working on a story about robots but I don't know how to draw them well maybe you can help a fellow artist
Sincerely, a 12-year-old artist and a new subscriber
