Redrawing my old manga! | CLIP STUDIO TUTORIAL

[@ABDIllustrates]

Howdy y’all, thanks for stopping by! \(^^)/ I didn’t realize how much I’d missed making speedpaints, but this was SO fun to put together! (It’s been too long (;w;)) I hope you find this lil’ tips n’ tricks speedpaint helpful - I certainly learned a few things while making this one, so hopefully there’s some stuff in here that y’all can learn from too! (All the links I mentioned in the video are up in the description if you need them!) °˖✧◝(⁰▿⁰)◜✧˖° (as ever, please do feel free to let me know any suggestions for future videos - (redraws or otherwise) - here in the comments! 💖)

[@calacalamari3977]

^^^ the art quality is a little janky, but i personally love the layout & emotion from it! :] both finished products are great in their own ways tho

[@zoniotdd992]

It's better than I've ever done

[@sarahp3150]

Yeah I feel like it was less stiff and the pose on top was really dynamic, the new one looks a little flat and boring. No it's not very high quality but it's more interesting, but each to their own and if Abd likes his new style more than good for him!

[@gone9820]

@@sarahp3150 I agree. the pose of the guy falling wasnt really that dynamic and it felt like the guy just didnt care about falling. However, I think the pose wouldve looked cool in another environement (like space IG)

[@peanut3438]

@@sarahp3150 I think the different versions are trying to show different emotions! The first version looks like a high-stakes horrific moment, but the second version shows muted shock like a “oh no” and gives a pause so the next panel can be comedically horrified. [edited for clarity] I rambled, but have a good day :3 “ For God so loved the world that he gave his one and only Son, that whoever believes in him shall not perish but have eternal life. For God did not send his Son into the world to condemn the world, but to save the world through him. Whoever believes in him is not condemned, but whoever does not believe stands condemned already because they have not believed in the name of God’s one and only Son. This is the verdict: Light has come into the world, but people loved darkness instead of light because their deeds were evil. Everyone who does evil hates the light, and will not come into the light for fear that their deeds will be exposed. But whoever lives by the truth comes into the light, so that it may be seen plainly that what they have done has been done in the sight of God. “ John 3:16-21 (NIV) “ If you declare with your mouth, “Jesus is Lord,” and believe in your heart that God raised him from the dead, you will be saved. For it is with your heart that you believe and are justified, and it is with your mouth that you profess your faith and are saved. “ Romans 10:9-10 (NIV)

Damn, your old self was really bold tho, imagine being a beginner comic artist and trying out a pose with foreshortening and forced perspective on your biggest panel, legend. I do love the new one tho, it’s definitely way more readable and the highlights are where they should be

SO HE WAS 15 WHEN HE DREW THAT ORIGINAL MANGA PAGE#? he was really such a godtier artist at a young age, so cool !! 😭😭

[@LavenderAlchemyart]

Hey sorry if anyone else has said this but. I'm a graphic designer and I thought I would give some helpful tips to everyone. For type you should never go below 8 point font. Though it might be tempting, anything smaller gets really hard to read in both digital and hard copy. Also if your going to use different fonts for different things. Try to stick to 2 to 3 max type faces. The more fonts you use in a comic the more complicated it'll be to keep track of A. B it'll start looking messy and clumsy if you're not careful. There's nothing wrong with experimenting with type but keep it clean and easy to read. Though type doesn't always need to be readable for a comic its impotent. Hope this helps.

[@Michael-uj4jp]

Clip studio paint do be like, "You get a sponsor and you get a sponsor!!!"

[@annalisasteinnes]

I love how much more dramatic the moment of the rope snapping is in the redraw. It's that one second when you realize something bad has happened but you haven't had time to react to it yet. Just perfect :)

Alex already said it but WOW paneling makes such a big difference in the overall feel of the comic. New version is better in a lot of ways, but the most noticeable to me is how much clearer and easier it is to read.

The fact that you can easily get a bunch of assets instead of drawing it yourself is really making me consider getting this... Also, great video, Alex! You really covered a lot of features, and also covered navigating the UI, (The hardest part of using any application like this for me. 😅 [So you’re not the only one, heh]) which helps.
