I'm going to participate in a portfolio review in November. I am working long oneshot and trying to implement everything they said about my work last year. Even if they don't accept me, the story is structured in parts to submit online, with cliffhangers and everything. Hopefully, it goes all well :)

[@mastersofchaosstudios5073]

Best of luck mate...i'd like to read your manga

[@superduckcool3250]

This channel has been a inspiration for me it has really helped me level up my manga

Hi, Could you make a video on manga effects one day? Like when the character is in love, pleased, disgusted... I find this just so hard to do 😅

Thank you, this video helped me a lot, I’ve been stressing out about self publishing my manga because I was afraid I would easily get rejected

Can you do covers next please ? I started my first one shot but i need help with making covers . You really always help me with your amazing videos . So thanks ❤ *i hope you actually read my comment though🥲* Thanks again ❤

There’s another self publishing manga by Shueisha called Shonen Jump Rookie (ジャンプルーキー！) and although it’s only in Japanese, they have different types of contests constantly

[@bread-uo6wu]

I wanna make my own manga but I'm not very good when it comes to drawing emotions (normal and the exaggerated ones)

[@MovoTheGorgon]

One of my goals is to try and submit to Viz. I’m not sure if I want to join a contest just yet. 😅

[@aphlearntodrawmanga]

That’s a great goal! Let’s work towards that!

Please make a video about visual storytelling in manga

[@aphlearntodrawmanga]

Hey, what are you having trouble with specifically? We already have a couple of videos related to different visual storytelling.

[@alonso4668]

Thanks for the video! i am producing my oneshot without thinking where i would even publish it! good thing that wont be a problem!

[@mochi.8-_-]

I'm really wondering whether I should plan and draw a one-shot now with my current art, or rather hone my current art better and then draw a one-shot.What should I do in this scenario? any help would be great, love the vids btw❤

[@satya_88keys]

If you are under confident in your art then I would suggest you to practice it more. In that way you can hone your skills and also explore your character. You might also see some mistakes and then fix them. At last be patient and consistent if not already. Best of luck to you 🤞

[@mochi.8-_-]

@@satya_88keys Thanks a lot, I'll take your advice and try to explore my favourite manga and their art styles, then try to implement their styles and then slowly yet surely be happy with my art, I already have a story planned, but I'll try to improve my basics in my art and grow from there :)

[@satya_88keys]

Wow found a really good channel wich shares really good knowledge just like no other ❤

[@MadDogRyan]

Almost done with my first one shot in a year it's ain't great but getting myself out of this slump is the main thing, the whole 23 pages is dirty joke because it's fun to draw

[@DRPArtistry]

I have a big idea. But I should start small. 20 page one-shot. Fantasy, something with animals. 💜😊

[@alematias490]

Can you give us some tips of how to make it easier for your manga to be known and not only that as a puertorican/American I feel like my opportunity it’s at long reach

[@aphlearntodrawmanga]

Have you followed the tips the video already? And if yes, which ones?

[@SadiqAuwaluSani-ds7lb]

You can check the details for each competition. :) There are different rules and it may also change.

[@arjunkumermallik8880]

can we use colour to manga contest

[@satya_88keys]

Yes but also no. Because most competitions require the black and white inking.

[@CelestialMindy28]

I am living in the Philippines. But I don't know how to publish my manga/comics? Or where should I start publishing/sites to post it for the public to see.

[@SadiqAuwaluSani-ds7lb]

But will you tell us the guidelines for publishing mangas in the companies

It changes from company to company and also depending on the actual publication

@@sunnydargonnel thanks

[@iliyaarts626]

what about sanctioned countries for both awards and some publishers and why we can't access our dreams just because of the government rules to us "what we can do"????? ❔❔❓❓

[@osinistful5804]

Just curious. How much are the oneshot manga drawing programs? I want to apply but I want to know how much it is first.

[@aphlearntodrawmanga]

We talk more about it and your options during the consultation call. First, we really just want to know more about your manga journey though and see if this would be a good fit.

[@SadiqAuwaluSani-ds7lb]

Thanks a lot for the information, I have a question If I self-publish on my blog or website even if have many readers how the publishers can notice my Manga in the middle of the internet? am I missing something?

[@geetakhatri7661]

Is there an age limit or not

[@aphlearntodrawmanga]

It changes depending on the manga contest. We always recommend to check.

[@gegeakutami123]

but i dont make digital manga

[@kekstarts]

wdym gege? yes you do. jk, but anyways, actually a lot of manga isn't actually done digitally sometimes. some like to draw it traditionally and then they edit it later on by sending it to their computer or whatever they use to fix it up. so either way, you'll have to suffice to doing it digitally at some point. and if someone else sees this, please correct me if I'm wrong.

[@SAJihan2004]

asking you something related to contest, Can I submit my 1 one-shot manga in multiple contest?

I know it sounds bad of me, but with working all week I simply can't schedule in the conference call.

Have you tried booking a call during the weekend?

Hi

[@AwatipSelotip]

I'm 12 and turning 13 this year, I want to make my own manga but am I allowed?

[@Sentry0]

Publishing isn't the issue. The problem is legal. How to legally register your work properly before you publish.

[@aphlearntodrawmanga]

Why do you say that’s your problem?

[@Sentry0]

@aphlearntodrawmanga that is the number one reason people do not put out their work. They don't want to get ripped off. There are so many videos on yt about publishing. Yet there is no video on how to handle your legal responsibilities to properly copyright and trademark your work.

[@yt_paperHANk]

And i was thinking about self-publishing…

[@Selvaraj-u1y]

But what paper is used for manga

[@Bananalord56783]

It’s comic paper just google manga paper it has those border measurements

[@rukasukumakura]

I'm from brazil, i follow a lot of brazilian mangakas but i couldn't find any true manga communities 😭

[@aphlearntodrawmanga]

What do you mean by true ‘manga communities’?

[@wowiegerarcas8307]

how to apply?

[@aphlearntodrawmanga]

Apply for?

[@RiriTheGreat]

Damn… I think I needed this? I feel so lost right now with my writing skills, almost unmotivated in fact. Making a comic in general is extremely difficult considering you had to draw multiple panels in one page as opposed to just drawing one illustration alone… on top of that (and please don’t take this the wrong way, Ik some people called me arrogant just because I said this and people always take it the wrong way), I feel like my character writing style is a bit unique compared on what’s in the market rn… like I want to write a main cast of 3+ characters all of them being in a bi/pan polygamy relationship and with no drama/soap opera between them, I want to make a adventure series where they have to survive their surroundings from a powerful foe they all have in common… I don’t want to make something to pandered a group of people but rather to please myself since Ik that there isn’t that much series (if not at all) that are like that. I just lack motivation and focus since I don’t even know if make it a sci-fi story or a fantasy story… I feel a bit lost but this give me a bit of hint on what to do I think.
