Will start for sure looks like fun

Ahhh...hearing you say that the most boring things make the best comics was really wonderful. I would like to try my hand at something like this, and I love graphic novels!

Such a good artist but also, I apologize saying this but she's so sweet and pretty. I think I'm in love :)

Thanks for sharing, this was such a lovely video♥ I've attempted Hourly Comics Day a couple of times, but never thought to keep a comic diary. I'm currently trying to develop my illustration skills, and only recently started drawing with ink pens, but i'm looking for a regular creative habit to help soothe my daily stresses. I like the idea of a diary format because it can evolve over time, even if I don't share it. The last few years have been really difficult and I think it could be very helpful to have a visual record to look back on when things are all too much. Thank you for sharing your approach.

I've done my first zines, and it's my new obsession. 😅

😊 WASHINGTON D.C. every possible Art Museums....

Your diary is lovely, and your drawings are good. Lively. This is a great idea.

Just a comment on labelling. Your front cover will depend on your folding. Mine is actually in the middle. Someone else on youtube seems to have it in the end. (The two halves on top of each other). Could I just recommend, if you are hapoy with how it's folded and looking, label and number bookket whilst it is folded. Play with it a bit.

Brilliant 🤩

I can’t wait to join you.

Do you do mini comic swap? Please let me Know thanks Tyler j

Great process! I'm mostly a gouache painter, but i also love acryl gouache, so maybe i was considering trying these. I like this illustration, that allow to see the potential of the flashe painting.

I love this!!!!!

I’ve got my second graders (USA) making zines this year as learning/reviewing tools. We’re all learning a lot! And, having fun doing it! This is very inspiring. Thank you! ❤

This was incredibly inspiring and very informative 😊. I just found your channel tonight (and subscribed)as I was looking for zine ideas. I’m looking forward to working along with your many other videos/projects. Thanks a million 😊

Hi Jane! Greetings from Guarulhos Brazil! Thanks so much for sharing your comic diary, I never thought that we could diarying using this format! Thanks again!@ 😊

I'm in love with this whole concept - I'm not an artist at all but would love to start one now. And I just wanted to say I could watch a video every day of you just flipping through them and narrating a bit just as you did. Your voice is super soothing and helped me on a rough day. Thanks!

Hi Jane Porter you came to my school yesterday I think Does this ring a bell? Albemarle primary school???

Thank you soooo much for the video. You really inspired me to try this!!

Discovery of the day.... Thank you for inspiration and the calmness in your video. And for me as somebody from Germany it is such a relief to once have the possibility to listen quietly because you speak slowly. Thank you for that and also that there is no music non stop in the background. Perfect. ❤

I took Emily's class as well! But sadly it didn't make me start a regular comic practice 😂 I particularly liked the garden composition, such a clever way to feature many interesting details from the same destination.

You are AMAZING. Discovered this video through your Substack. ❤

Thank you for this glimpse into your journal. I love the idea of keeping a comic journal, but I do need to practise drawing people a lot more first

Promo'SM 😓

Awww that was sweet. I love seeing these little background chats!

What a stunning, joyful community masterpiece - bravo Jane for this amazing work and all the young artists and everyone involved in drawing attention to precious river life !❤❤❤

This just came up on my KZbin and I love your mural Jane!

Oh Jane! You really are a star! And all of the children are stars too. What a dynamic and wonderful project. We need more of this sort of community involvement and more talented Janes as well!

❤What a brilliant project, so well coordinated and accomplished. Great community involvement and inspiring for the children.

Great video

This was such a delightful video to see ❤

This book looks lovely , I loved seeing frogs in our pond too! The illustrations are brilliant, but I wondered, as an artist yourself, do you find it hard not doing the illustrations yourself after creating the story/ text?

Love your videos!

I've just been monoprinting textures to start collaging for my picture book. Your work is gorgeous, so inspiring. Thank you 💖from Australia xx

I’ve been enjoying these videos very much. Brava!

😮 Amazing art!

Jane, your artwork is gorgeous, and you have created such sweet, expressive characters! What glue do you use? Do you scan yourself? Any tips are so appreciated.

One more thing, Im 10 now!!!!

Hi jane I remeber being on that stool in Waterstones when the book was first published, thanks for all the good memories!

Hi guys The book was inspired by Vasileios Papagatsias and thats me

Fantastic! Thanks for sharing this.

That was great, a lovely insight into the process of creating your book, thank you :) I love John Burningham's work also..

Congratulations on this book to you and Maisie. And thank you for showing 'BORKA'. So absolutely gorgeously illustrated! LOVE LOVE it!

Thank you, Jane. Lovely to read about Gertie and the penguins and to hear how it all came together over time after your initial idea.

Awesome!

Love this look inside your new book, and love Maisie's illustrations. Will have to order a copy as "the boy who loved everyone' is still one of our favourites! Thank you

Hi Jane, Your work is lovely and fun! I am working on a project using collage for kids. I see you use cartridge paper. I have never heard of it, but I recall heaving seen a heavy paper with flecks in it. What brand do you use? It seems sturdier than using construction paper. Your art is charming. I look forward to more videos. Thank you for sharing. I wish you much success.

This is amazing! I started a journal 11 years ago and some days I would add a tiny drawing for something special and now I can see how that transformed over the years, now beeing almost 50% writing and 50% drawings. Wish I could be as talented as you! This was very inspiring thank you for sharing it!!

Yes,appreciate your sharing Jane. All best with the new paints!

Thanks for sharing!
