I'm beginning to work on a personal project that I probably don't have any intention of publishing for now. It's a series based on my likes and dislikes.
Sounds cool! Thank you for commenting! If you ever post it publicly, let us know!
@@MonitorComics Thx. I'll try my best to publish it if I decided to do it.
@@GideonMadu Best of luck
@@Thorndr thx
You should soo do it
man im really happy that i was here since the beginning and monitor has gotten 2k and giving good tips :>
I appreciate the continued support! I wouldn't be here without people like you!
@@MonitorComics if it wasnt for you and the others in the saturday am amino days i wouldnt be the artist i was today
Oh, man. See how far this channel has come now!
I love the style you did here ! 😍
You're really insightful, these are excellent tips and tricks! Well done. I'm working on my own kinda manga/comic and I'm working towards actually making the first chapter right now. It's an interesting process and quite difficult, so these videos of yours are a great resource!
Thank you so much for taking the time to comment! I really appreciate it! I'm happy my video was helpful lol. It's exciting to hear you're working on your own project! Best of luck!
This was awesome! Thanks for making this I learned a lot!
I'm glad! Thank you for commenting!
Just found out about this channel, Imma suscribe, keep on the good content!
Thank you very much! I'm currently looking for a way to learn how to draw a storyboard for my manga "Infernal Beast". and I really like the berserker style. Both the drawing and the frames.and your video will help a lot! thank you!
I’m currently on a working on a Webtoon project called Delinquent King, and a Manga Project Chronicles of the Celestial Knight. Due to not writing a script and not planning out my story properly, I’ve ended up have to reboot my series, I regret not discovering your videos, because they’ve really helped a lot.
I'm glad my videos could help! Thank you for checking out my stuff and taking the time to share! I really appreciate it! Best of luck with your projects!
Powerful Video Bro!!
Can you make a video about breaking anatomy for fight scenes and good ways we can break our characters' anatomy for action so it will look awesome???
Thanks bro!
I tend to fall into a trap where I can't imagine my panels beyond long large horizontal rectangles in the same shape of a video (trying to explain it best I can). This is because when creating my manga script, I imagined the whole thing animated and how everything would look regarding camera angle, wide shot/close shot etc. Being an animation student, I have habits for my animation workflow that I can't help but apply to my manga workflow :( When I do add a panel that doesn't look like a screenshot it so heavily bothers me.
I totally get that! Animation storyboards are very similar to comic storyboards, so there is some overlap. What I will say is a lot of amateur comic/manga/webtoon artists have is struggling to use different camera angles
Animators have a advantage in that sense because they're used to thinking like that! But like you said, manga has lots of different panel layouts. Aside from horizontal ones, vertical ones, diagonal ones, and panel breaks are used
1 page and 2 page spreads are also popular. I'd recommend just taking a look at you favorite manga and seeing how they layout their pages! Most manga artists have a handful of layouts that they like to use, once you find that out, it's easy to add that to your visual library!
@@MonitorComics Thanks for the tips! I do have a few manga with me so I'll study them for examples. Definitely gonna take a while to train my brain not to see every scene through a strict movie camera lens haha
Incredibly useful! Thx!
Super glad to hear that!! Thanks for taking the time to watch!
This is really helpful! The fluidity of my webcomic was a bit stiff. 😅
I'm glad my video could help! Best of luck!
So amazing
Please make a video on Plot Armor for anime
I recently have been working on manga ONE SHOT series where the story relies on cinematic emotions and lifestyle events in apocalypse with inhuman creatures and humans. There isn’t a lot of action like any others because it mostly likely would feel like the last of us or walking dead except having most character play a role as bounties and there aren’t any zombies. I just post a few manga pages on my media.
Sounds cool!
I’m so happy that you are staying consistent! That’s just amazing! I’m thinking of doing videos every day because there’s so much to say and to show but I’m too busy with my manga . I seriously don’t have any free time 😂😂😂😂😂 I’m happy you uploaded ! I’m wanting while taking a pause !
Thank you Milli! Your manga looks amazing, I can't wait until it's finished and we can get you on the channel lol. I'd love to see you post videos every day, but I know how hard it is to record, edit, and advertise. Make sure you're taking enough breaks and taking care of yourself! Best of luck!!
@@MonitorComics Thank you so much ! I truly appreciate you ! :D

@@gensischosen251 Thank you so much for your interest and support, if you need more help just DM me on instagram. You can definitely try to send them a one shot, but not a full story, they won't have the time to read and analyse it. My 20 pages took 2 moths to analyse for one french publisher and they still didn't want it. I am making how to publish tutorials on my youtube channel so make sure to follow. As said, I am super busy with my work but I'll upload when I have time. I hope those videos will help you out, there's really too much information to communicate in the comment section. I wish you the best of luck and as said, hit me up on IG.
Millicomics yea Just like isayama he made a One shot and He been reject many Times after 3 years his manga finally got publish I Just hope any manga publish Japan Compsng like My One shot in the future

I'm glad! Thanks for taking the time to leave a comment!
@@MonitorComics Of course!
AWESOME
Thank you for your support!
I use ibis paint for my manga because it’s free and I know the layout to it and I use auto desk
Have you watched Saint Seiya since I saw a manga page in there?
W vid
Gahhh it's called panel flow, I've been struggling with this for ages
Also I have video idea thou how to publish your manga in japan in your Home country instead of moving to japan I live the Philippines my biggest dream to be manga artist but I’m too poor move to japan it’s too expensive so yea good video
You don’t need to move to japan! I make my living out of making manga in France so there’s no need to go to Japan nor to publish in Japan ! Try to publish in your country first. Only the most successful ones gets published in Japan, like radiant, so if you cannot get your work published in the country you live in, Japan is out of the game ☺️ Do your best and research your market and competition. Because if you truly want to make this, you need to be good.
Millicomics also what if I try to call Japanese publish companys like shonen jump Kado etc tell them I will publish my manga cuz I heard some forginers did that but Idk how to that I can’t speak even Japanese talk to them
Wyatt Christian Pinili Shonen jump makes competitions for foreigners, if you win, you get published. Get your first finished story ready and done and then give it to professionals to read and evaluate. You can come to me on Instagram if you need help and monitor comics knows how to advance you too !
Millicomics cuz my original plan is I was planning vacation japan for 6 days when I turn 23 and then go to publish company’s like shonen jump see if they like it and I will tell them I will draw my manga at my home county my plan etc etc if they agree about but most likely they don’t 😩 do you think they agree that ??
Millicomics ok 👍
Damn ! ‘
I was commissioned by my best friend’s aquaintance to make an a1 art piece for her, but I don’t know how much I should charge.😫
Thank you for taking the time to leave a comment! It's great to hear you have been commissioned! I actually have an entire video dedicated to pricing your artwork! I hope that can help you out!
private school teacher level video
Yo man, so I’m creating a Hxh Mha crossover manga mini series, and I really need some guidance, I’m 20 years old I I’m pretty decent at art but idk about my story telling skills it’s not going to be canon obviously but I want it to be a good part of the source material, I made a few tiktoks about it and got lots of support, if you could help me with small advice’s and pointer I’m all for it! Thanks man have a good one! Later ✌️😁
I notched you changed you channel picture
I made a community post about this!
@@MonitorComics oh ok I can’t say I won’t miss the old one but I like the new one great work
What about 4 Koma manga's?
This is an interesting point! 4 Koma typically have a forced page flow, with the 4 panels on each side of the page (There are exceptions of course like K-On which are 4koma but sometimes incorporate a fifth large panel.) The only way to help encourage page flow in a 4koma manga is to place your speech bubbles strategically so your reader can follow the eye path. If you were making a 4koma that reads right to left, maybe have speech bubbles that begin in the top right hand corner and end in the bottom left. Thinking about which way characters are facing can also help with this. In the last panel, you could even have a character looking up towards the next strip if it fits with the context of your story. Generally,, 4 Koma are structured in a way that most people have an idea of how to read them, so I don't think page flow is AS detrimental as traditional manga pages with a greater panel diversity. I hope that helped somewhat! Thanks for the comment!
i think drawlikeasir refrenced this video
REALLY? Do you have the link by chance lol

@@MonitorComics legend for responding ong
It's frustrating watching you draw then flip to a diagram of what your talking about and giving the audiance 5 seconds to look at the info you talking about then back to the drawing. I've notice you do this in a couple video's.
There's this thing called the pause button my guy. I'm a published manga artist, I have to show people I draw to promote my own work lol. Brands reach out to me and people commission me from seeing me draw in these videos. If I just had random stock images and anime pics it wouldn't do me any good. I appreciate the feedback though, I'll try to keep the pictures on screen for a bit longer in future vids
Repent and believe the gospel! Jesus died for our sins and rose 3 days later so we could be forgiven of our sins and be gifted with everlasting life. Put your faith In Jesus and follow him. Life is short, please make the right choice today.
Bruh, why are you saying something like this in this video which is no way connected to the your topic
@@8A29AKSHANTMESHRAM-ib6so I'm posting it because comment sections are a good place to spread the gospel, since lots of people have the chance to see it and read the message. Please consider the message and try to pray to Jesus, and seek Him. If you seek Him with all your heart you will find Him! Put your faith in Jesus, before its too late.
Jeremiah 29:13 - You will seek me and find me when you seek me with all your heart.
