8 Things I Learned While Making Comics In Art School
Вставка
- Опубліковано 10 лют 2025
- I’ve mentioned several times in the past that I have a degree in cartooning/making comics. Even as a kid, I enjoyed making comic strips of whatever stories I had in my head. In fact, I liked making them so much that I went on to college with the goal of making comics for a living. Even though that experience was a bit of a roller coaster, there were still some valuable tips I learned during my time there that I still apply to my works today, from tips and time-saving tricks to some more ironclad rules of comic making. And since I have a UA-cam channel, what better thing to do than to put my degree to good use!
(Also, stay tuned until the end for a special announcement...)

I'd seriously love to see a script writing vid
Been sitting w/ a finished plot line, characters and lore unwritten for a while rn💀
this is so underated my goooohd!!!! I'd love to see a script writing episode [broom emoji]
THIS IS SO helpful, thank you so much!
I like to think of the Way the words look as the tone and volume of them, The shape of the speech bubble as emphasis of those tones and volumes. And the lines on the outside aka the squares circles/ various shapes you put everything into as the music/ setup of a scene. Using squiggly lines for dark, eerie and scary scenes and rounded edges for more calm scenes
Id love more of these videos, ive been on and off making comics by hand directly onto paper over the past few years and even though id like to think that ive gotten good at it by now its all been self teachings, a collage level tip or two is definatly helpful considering i dont have a magic delete button, cant wait for the next video!
I don't usually comment, but I just wanted to say that I was drawing my comic while listening to this. When you mentioned balloon tangents, i immediately stopped drawing, looked at my first page, found a balloon tangent and fixed it 😂 This is a pretty handy tutorial, thanks for the tips! 🧹
Nicely done - great info!
That's some interesting things
FATHER?!

manga i noticed differs its gutter size, the vertical is usually thinner than horizontal gutter. and the width of the gutter implies a span of time elapsing, if you make a really wide gutter breaking the rhythm this would mean a long-er time has elapsed from the previous panel. that's for all comics I've read.
the 180 rule is from film and breaking it has its purposes like a reveal or a turn of events (get it?). like a dolly zoom but in a 2 or 3 shot king of thinf.
most of these tips you'll get find in understanding comics by scott mccloud, a comic about comics. highly recommended!
"understanding comics" was actually required reading in one of my classes! i think i still have my copy lying around somewhere lol
(also thank you for telling me about the gutter sizes in manga bc i haven't noticed that yet 😳)
whoa im early :D
