I might have to take this as a sign that I should make a comic because I have no idea how I ended up getting recommended this video by youtube
woah, same
I just started working on an idea i’ve had for 4 years now, and let me say that you have inspired me even more to complete my project. Thanks 😊
Awesome to hear! Stick with it! :D
Hi there! Just stump upon your channel and I'm in love with your art style! Is it possible for you to make a tutorial or ideas on how you get started on drawing or art in general? Thank you in advance!
Thanks so much! I'll for sure add a tutorial like that to the list :)
Wow, for sure gonna follow along this trip! Love you style and vibe, cheers from Brasil!! Keep up
just discovered this channel and I'm glad that I found it. I really like the design and the characters and would definitely stick around and follow your works 😁
Thanks so much :)
I think digital, largely, has a lot to do with style. Of course digital can replicate all manner of tools these days, but digital really shines when the work is detailed and you have deadlines. As a professional comic artist of 30 years, switching to digital completely changed my career. I was traditional for about the first 20 years I guess, but as someone who draws very tight, detailed and technical, that switch to digital was a complete game changer. I would argue, saved my career at that time.
I too am starting the journey of a creator owned projects, and yes, still digital. ;) I guess I am like a reverse of yourself... all my sketches and planning is done traditional, all my finished work is digital.
Not a plug for my channel, but you can see an example of the kind of work I do in the timelapse on my channel.
Great video, love the work, I look forward to seeing the project develop. I'll be checking in for sure... :)
Hey Neil thanks for taking the time to leave a comment! It's awesome to hear someone's take who does this at a professional level and has been doing this longer than me.
You're right I kind of am the reverse of you :) I actually started learning on digital and only in the past year or so have switched to traditional at least for the inking/linework. I feel that I can express myself more effectively and that I myself am actually faster in regards to my own style... Which is definitely less tight detailed and technical :) Checked out your channel, love your work as well and will definitely be checking in on you too! Thanks!
I'm just about trying to get back into making comics again. This was inspiring, thank you!
I'll defininitely be checking out your comic, it looks fun and cute c:
Glad I could help! Thanks! :)
Subscribed to see your progress! Just read the first 2 chapters, now I need to know what happens next. I'm interested in this world you're building
i will support you in your journey❤️
Thank you!
Well your channel banner gives some real elfquest vibes.
Can’t wait to see more!! This is awesome and definitely enjoy seeing your process, keep it up!!
Thank you! More will definitely be on the way! :)
I am also new here. I love your Art Stile too. I got a Art Channel too. Just keep going on I know How Hard it is
Man this was an amazing video definitely inspired me a ton
cant wait for the next issue. seems really cool, i already really like the characters!
Thank you! I'm excited to keep making it!
hell yeah! ive been working on a comic i plan to make for over 4 years. Videos like these are a good way for me to stay motivated and keep chipping away at it
Awesome to hear! :)
I tried making comic but working on a digital screen and webtoon format is depressing, Imagine not to be able to make two page landscape wide panel frame on paper😢
Use something else then, look for safe and good alternatives
like the other dude said look for a different format/app. But also that limitation could be used to push your creativity. instead of 2 page spreads do a giant vertical long image idk.
You have a great style man
Im almost done with my first chapter and its hard to get the motivation to keep moving and videos loke this are great fuel. Keep it up 💪👍
I was wondering how can someone make a Comic! I get it now, it's a Comic Book. Good job!
I’m storyboarding my comic rn, so i really appreciate this :)
Of course! Keep going, and remember to enjoy the journey!
I Do NOT "Nut collect"
*slams the subscribe button* Heck yeah! Excited to see more of your art!
Thanks so much! It means a lot! :)
HECK YEAH! I LOVE YOUR ART STYLE
Thank you!
@@zachmotart No, thank YOU! For making such good art!
Rewrite my first issue for the 4th time now. I'm still want to tell the story so I'm still trying and keep motivatiing myself
First vid from you I'm seeing, very happy to find a fellow fantasy artist ❤ subbed
Thanks! 🙂
The thumbnail made me click this video I didnt know you had so less subscribers you're goated!!
Thanks! :)
I like traditional and I also like digital traditional was costing a lot of money I don't know if it's cheaper to do comic books traditionally then animation man I had sales everywhere and I was like I'm going digital you still make a pretty cool looking comic book with digital you can draw it out then scan it in the picture
I know this is one of the first videos you're talking about this story and it is probably super early to be asking questions about the world, but does this world have a hard or soft magic system? Would enjoy a video talking more in depth about topics like this! xD
i always wanted to try making one but I have no idea where to start
great
Yo bro if u can make a tutorial on how to make art like that, it would be amazing!
Looks great, I'll definitely read this as I'm a sucker for fantasy.
(On a completely unrealated not, here's a self absorbed(?) plug-in, I'm trying to make a Illustrated Web Novel which is more or less a love letter to the time travel of Undertale, it’s Yellow "prequel," and Re:zero, as well as the starfish aliens of Blindsight (peter watts) The Three-Body series (sans the third book's sexism, it'll probably still have sexist aliens, but criticize it), and the Incubators from Magica Madoka.
Basically the world it takes place on is an otaku hell like Ligunica from Re:Zero. The planet has tripple the gravity of Earth with a 60(ish)° tilt, so life there has to go dormant when the summers and winters become too extreme. Well most life, the two sophonts of the world and whatever they domesticated stay active year round due to their advanced technology and subterranean cities/O'Neil cylinders. Though both species still retain the ability to go dormant, which helps with Interstellar travel as they don't have ftl ships (this doesn't mean the ships are "slow" as they can move upwards of 70% light speed within a few Earth hours.)
It's also of important note that the planet is in a P type binary system, with two stars of unequal mass, the larger of which is an A class star which has been kept "alive" by a perpetual motion machine with a radius of .5 AU but only 3 meters in hight and 40 cm in width. Said perpetual motion machine also looks like it's made from folded space, it's unclear what it's made from and by all intensive purposes should be called a "demiurge"
I read the title as I am cooking
I'm watching this while working on page 223 of my comic lol.
What page dimensions are recommended for traditional? Also are there standard margin sizes? The thing that stresses me out the most is understanding the logistics of page layout and format. I'm afraid I'll put in a lot of work and then it can't be printed right
Hey! Yeah this is something that freaked me out too! I do not draw on the traditional 11x17 page size because I don't have a scanner that can scan a page that large. I use 8.5x11. There is a great website mixam.com/ that has page templates you can download. They also have a print on demand service!
Definitely not something I would use if you're trying to get published by a big name like image, or dark horse or something like that, as I'm sure they have their own dimensions they use for their printing. For doing your own thing though its great!
@zachmotart thank you very much for the reply. I'll definitely check out the link. I actually have one more question for you about your personal process. Do you draw in dialogue boxes manually or add them in with software? I apologize if you've already answered or shown this
I've a one shot manga & published on mangaplus. I know a thing or two about making comic 😁
I wont make a comic couse i cant draw but do you think making a devlog would be a good idea?
BTW your art is amazing dont even think about giving up
Thanks so much! :) If you're making a game I think making a devlog would be a great idea. People often love to be involved in the process of how people make things!
hey. how'd you achieve the grain in your comic? thanks
I use the noise/grain in procreate’s adjustments tab on a gray overlay layer! :)
I'ts about 2 years that i'm struggling with my comic. Is this a sign?
When you create your comics do you write a script first and then draw the storyboard? Or do you just jump into the storyboard immediately?
I do write a script first then storyboard/thumbnail pages afterward
I ahve take this sign to make my comic but I am not really good with me art and I am afraid I wouldn't be taken seriously.
Man don't worry about that, everyone when they're starting are not amazing artists. You shouldn't do or don't do something only thinking about if others will like it or not, in life you will always do mistake you and you must learn from them not be stopped by. Keep experimenting and practicing always trying to enjoy what are you doing👍
Basically everything @andrebozzo4209 said. Dont worry about skill level. We all start somewhere the important thing is to start ❤️ skill will always follow as long as you keep going. Art is not a race its a journey.
:)
(:
I apologise for breaking your perfect 300 subscribers
Haha i forgive you 😅 thanks!
