    I am almost finished with my mini comic. I folded several pieces of paper in half, and illustrated and wrote it. This video was very helpful.

    edit: you need more subsribers

    Questions: Did you use inks for the “Germinator” comic? And if so, how did you use them on that paper without bleeding through? I’m starting to make a comic and want to use normal long bond paper with inks but don’t know how.😅 Love the advice btw

    • @Comicbooker
      @Comicbooker  Рік тому +1

      I did not! So Germinator was all 2B pencils (except the logo which was Sharpie marker), and all-in-all it was fine on copy paper. But yeah you need thicker paper when you start inking! 😅

    Hi andrew i hope you're doing great i have two questions and i was wondering if you could help me
    1.- any advice on the comic layout? I saw a procreate layout but is too heavy for my ipad, i was wondering if you had any advice on making it seem more dynamic or if was just practicing and experience
    2.- is it bad if i try to draw on top pictures or photos to practice anatomy or the way stuff is made, im NOT seling them or anything just for practice (some people call it stealing but im not even a begginer and i would love to start drawing and i can afford classes right no)
    GREAT video as always! and i would love to read your answer/advice

    • @Comicbooker
      @Comicbooker  2 роки тому +2

      Hi shippo633! For your first question - aside from practice, I would look at dynamic layouts by artists you love for ideas (JH Williams III or manhwa or action manga)-you’ll want to see how you can incorporate diagonals or other shapes to increase the movement on your page. For your second question-i don’t recommend tracing-I would say draw on a separate sheet with the reference next to you, so that you can imbibe the shape language and get it into your muscle memory. Hope that helps! Let me know if you have any other questions! 😁

    I thinking a comic book storie with a mixing between superhero and bible, called Pencil Man (world's most bible superhero that learn the line of one of his grandpas that dies "read always the bible, to have trust on true destiny of our god, also this will make be a good man or a hero in your future.")

    Are 30/20 pages good for a beginner ?

    • @Comicbooker
      @Comicbooker  4 місяці тому +1

      I think 5 pages are a sweet spot! If you do 2 of them, you'll get 10, 4 and you'll have 20, etcetera. But finish the 5 first and see how comfortable you are in your comics powers before lengthening.
