    Ok Mark, THIS is getting scarry. Yesterday evening I was thinking to myself that a video about Panel Size would be really cool. 1 day later, here we are... creepy (No joke im serious xD).
    Maybe theres another good topic about panels: What part of an action should make it into a panel? For example in an action sequence, which "frames" do you draw into a panel and which ones do you skip for the reader to connect in his/her head?

    I think it's also important to note that the panel size dictates how long the reader will naturally end up lingering on the depicted moment. The larger the panel, the longer the moment lasts.

    • @jumpiestudios5265
      @jumpiestudios5265 4 роки тому +1

      When I say "the longer the moment lasts" I don't mean in real time, but in terms of how long it'll feel. A large panel of a thrown fist will make it feel like time is slowing down, it's the medium's equivalent of slow-motion, whereas the reader's eye will fly quickly over the smaller panels as if the depicted moments are very fleeting.

    Hey mark, I just wanted to say that when I was first getting into art and drawing manga and writing comics, your videos were the things that inspired me and taught me the most. I remember watching your videos every Friday and looking forward to seeing what advice and silly jokes you had for me next. Even as the years go by and I have unfortunately not caught your videos as frequently, I still look back fondly on those times when I watched your videos religiously. Even watching this video now gives me a feeling of warmth remembering the good old days. Thank you mark and keep up these videos because I’m sure there’s plenty more people left for you to inspire.

    Oh, this is awesome timing! For a while now, I've had an idea for a graphic novel series and I've been practicing drawing so I can draw it the way I want. This helps a lot in plotting things out. For some reason, I hadn't even thought about having roughed-out pages on cheap paper -- I just thought that I'd sketch stuff out on the same page I'd be finishing stuff on.
    Thanks for the amazing video as always, Crilley!

    I like it where, on occasions, the art or the speech bubbles overspill their panel. I guess, in practice, that means the panel is drawn slightly smaller than the space on the page would actually allow. It's a great variation, alongside non-rectangular shapes, and different tessellations used to fill the page.

    I start with 2x3 for 6 evenly sized panels and then adjust from there. Some I "Slash" through [ / ] for reactions, others I make larger, or stand out of frame, small subpanels in the upper corner of the main, and double wide for cinematic 'establishing shots'.

    Mark, could you, please, do a tutorial on how you drew the artwork on the *LEFT* page? I always struggle with perspective involving arcs and circles -- anything round, really. Knowing how you approached *_this_* particular artwork would be most helpful and very graciously appreciated. Of course, I am aware that this would fall under the category of "fairly simple" -- to say the least -- but at times it is those simple elements in life that can stumble even a seasoned artist. Besides, I may not be the only one experiencing this particular nudnik and a fellow Criller would also find your time spent enlightening.
    Thank you.

    I love all these examples! The panel size influences the feel of the panel so much. Much negative space in large panels can really slow down the pace of the story. Thanks for the reminder of making space for the important moments or where we need to slow down a little. I still have a tendency to cram too much in one page. Gotten much better lately, but coming from always reading big European albums, I really had to get used to webcomics, because they need to still be read on mobile and the balloons need to be readable on mobile, too. So I really needed to use fewer panels because they were getting too crammed (and then also dialogue heavy) for the web.

    Quick question, I have a solid idea for a comic that is basically a string of jokes like in the funny page. My issue is something the writers group brought up called first publishers rights or something. I was wondering if I should make some jokes for the internet and some for the book or put all the jokes in a book until it's ready for publishing.

    • @pencilsandstories
      @pencilsandstories 4 роки тому +14

      M_ALI_04 For a more realistic comic, like Mark’s, I’d say to work on the fundamentals: Anatomy, poses, composition, perspective, (colour if you’re colouring, too) and inking. If you’re also doing the story, then storytelling is very important! There’s great books and websites on the subject (I recommend starting with Invisible Ink) This basic work never ends, though, and it can keep you stuck in the never ending cycle of “I’m not ready yet”. We’re always improving and that never stops. So I’d also say to just start making comics, even if you don’t really know what you’re doing yet. They’re the best way to improve your fundamentals and to learn how to make comics. (And read a lot of comics to look at things to improve) It’s how I learned. :)

      @albericponcedeleon2696 4 роки тому

      Different publishers use different sizes but no matter what the publishing size is, the artist almost always draws at a larger size. Just make sure that the ratio of length to width is the same. I can't recall off the top of my head at what size Mark usually works on but there are other comic artists who share that type of information. Look for your favorite artists' social media and hopefully that gives you a good start.

  • @jsihavealotofplaylists
    @jsihavealotofplaylists 4 роки тому

    What sizes they shouldn't be for web comics: large swathes of white oceans and constant scrolling to take up space on every single page.
    Exceptions: none. A single page or two to demonstrate the vastness of the setting or object is different than the whole place being scroll simulator.
    I'm looking at you webtoon and other obscure comic sites...
