Wow! I just loved watching everything about your journey. All your creations. wow wow wow. It's filled me only like art can do! Thank you so much for sharing!

Wow!!!! So good.

What software are you using for this?

You. Are. Amazing. Those pages were so incredibly detailed and I'm not surprised you got so many job offers. I'm literally holding a Wildcats issue right now, and your drawings were really on-model.

"You're not a kid, kids draw comics" what was that supposed to mean, you do realize that just about every artist working at Marvel/DC, etc are adults right? I'm not sure I understand what the point of this video was, what seemed like a piece of good advice at first is turning into gatekeeping people from making comics just because their "reasons" are different from yours. You don't need any reason whatsoever to create, there is no right or wrong way to make a comic or any other form of art for that matter, no need to shame people into not creating just because they don't have the same goals as you do.

I came here looking for “how to animate like the torah series bible project videos”, but came away inspired by your story.

thank you so much

3:59 Worked for Liefeld 😅

I was a storyteller and drew since childhood but initially wanted to write books or animate. I needed a visual medium and given that I was poor in an equally poor neighborhood so my access to... everything... was limited. Comics are a visual storytelling medium that anyone can make with a pencil and paper, so I've been making them ever since. They're my passion now.

Make characters that I never seen. As a African American. I been given characters that where not real to me. Drug and thugs are like the 1% out of 50 people I know if that. never get the black scientist that not some dork weak social malfunctions. Stories that move me to be better and to push my concepts of life, science and Devine.

This needs to be heard by everyone on earth. Not just artists! Every person that says or does a thing needs to hear it. You’re brilliant for breaking this down for us. Thank you! It helped me a lot.

I have a simple answer for myself - I cant help myself to NOT make one. Its like an itch that has to be scratched

I want to create a 2d world that people can admire, relate to, and escape to alongside an admirable protagonist who inspires the audience to become stronger.

Please post more often, your course is at a fantastic price!

if he says Why like that ONE MORE TIME

Why i made comic/manga? I want to promote my Malaysian heritage & culture around the world. I already made a one shot & published on mangaplus. It's was very hard but satisfying 🙂

there's a story I would like to put in comic. i don't realize it for 30 years but now i remember this particular story move me even as a kid. but job's been keeping me away from it. might not be financially beneficial to me when and if i make it if ever. but still want to do it

Why. I spent 30 years in Video games and TV animation and I didn’t own anything I created.

100% About the agenda. Every movie, every TV show, every book, every comic has an agenda. Some don't, but those are produced as a cheap commodity and will be the first to be forgotten (or ppl will see no value on those, already) by the audience, specially in these times of AI and the tons of generative content flooding internet. I'd say now it (the political preaching) is happening more than some decades ago. And I agree with the importance of telling a powerful story.

I can tell you why I make comics right now. It's because I like to and because it's fun. It gives me a great amount of satisfaction to pull together various thoughts and ideas in my head (no matter how wild they are) and pull them together into something that can be followed. If I were on an island all by myself with no amount of money to be gained or reputation to be earned, I would still be making comics.

I agree about the spirit with "secret agenda" but not so much with the wording, I'd say that there needs to be something real behind the story, there's a connection between the story and something greater, but there's a difference between making propaganda and art. what is the different between the two? I dunno, but I've heard a few things, that the difference lies in the freedom of the reader for interpretation, that there's not only one possible meaning.

I created a motion comic to be different to inspire artists to be more innovative in making comics.

Yea I had to click on this, also anybody here have any comics?

"Stories shape culture". Well said. Glad to see you keeping up the good fight my friend.

You're back! Noice.

Jason, thanks for continuing to share your wisdom with the community

I have been working on my first graphic novel for 4 years and it is all about lessons I want to pass to my son (who is also the hero of the story BTW). There is no better motivation than that.

jason, you never cease to inspire.

I found your podcast a few months ago, and since then it's the most inspiring thing for me. Almost every record I draw, though I almost threw it. Thank you so much, Jason, and hi from Tbilisi!

WOW YOUR BACK

Have you ever had a dream that... that you um... you had... you'd- you would- you could- you'd do- you wi- you wants- you- you could do so... you- you'd do- you could- you... you want- you want him to do you so much you could do anything?...

Hard to see this, but all you really needed was some JOY in your life 💘💘 God bless you & your whole family

Same journey brother 😅 that’s how I’m here 🌸

Hi Jason!

You're doing art videos again...YAY!!! So happy for you man...Hope you and the missus are settling in well... :D

I'm going to use this playlist tomorrow morning to see if it keeps me in that drawing spirit. But it would of been really cool to have a playlist of art music that Jason would of had or has as he's drawing. That would be super cool.

Oh cool, you have a class!

I'm so glad you're making videos on this channel again!

Who knew comic artists were so humble.

haha I bought that!

This brought A smile to my face

How do you reach your deadlines if it took 2 weeks to finish 4 pages? I don't mean that in a rude way; it's just surprising because of how most comics only get one month for completion.

DOPE!

for those who haven't read any of it, it's an interesting half comedic twist on the 50's classic monster movies but coming from a more personal character angle that goes deeper into narrative misteries and revelations, the art top digital goodness with the feel of those great black and white movies. I recommend it very much ;D

Thank you, very clear and to the point.

Did you miss value/tone contrast or is that part of the B & W category?

I’m not in a season where I can invest in my comic’s process, but I am very much looking forward to taking your class when I’m able. In some ways I would rather pay full price when I’ve got the funds! Currently I’m struggling with the writing stage, so hopefully this concept can reveal some weak points in my plotting. I have this weird mix of mini-arcs and grand arcs that I have to balance due to my comic format being episodic. I try to avoid having nothing productive happen in an issue, but at times it’s difficult! Getting from point A to point Z has to be fun and engaging in the middle somehow!!

Was just thinking about your channel. Glad to see you're doing well and still dropping invaluable knowledge!
