Bruce Blitz How to Draw a COMIC STRIP

[@maxwestdraws3834]

I love how you exude confidence and convey that when you are drawing. You firmly believe in your skill and your experience.

Send your comic strips to the newspaper syndicates. Such as King Features syndicate.

[@NoBrainerLanguages]

I know it's been a long time, but this video seems timeless. Do you recommend copyrighting the strip page(s) before sending them anywhere?

[@bullzackgamingshorts4185]

Ok

I watched you as a child on VHS. I'm glad to have found you. Keep on cartooning!

[@Growingold62]

Finally! Some one who shows how instead of just showing off. Thank you.)

[@ToonHeadz]

Still find you a very big influence on my art style Bruce. You inspired me for awhile and I dont think I will ever get tired of watching you draw. Thanks.

[@HockeyCrab]

It's like Bob Ross for comics

[@nolxl]

Bro i was 9 when u posted this😂

[@anitacrumbly]

OMG i remember watching this guy when I was younger on pbs? or something like that, I remember he inspired me to create a comic strip involving a cat that solved mysteries lol (i was 8)

[@BruceBlitzArt]

Thanks Anita for the kind words!

[@JackPoint]

He forgot the question mark. Didn't even leave space for it. I guess geniuses make mistakes too.

[@noelleengland2229]

I love blits it helps with the technique of your character and more

[@donwhitt412]

❤thanks for sharing this. 😊 this a great way to unwind after work.

Almost, a couple more months and it will be Bruce and Me again in 2019.

These videos soothe my soul. Therapeutic stuff

[@peewee2354]

Thank you. I wish you'd continue to post videos. You're awesome!

[@bosscitytv]

Yeah this show aired in the 90s❤️❤️❤️❤️😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎😎

[@f1_guy16]

Really

[@joshuaowsiany4816]

What are some of the art tools some comic strip cartoonist used?

[@awesomelegos8051]

I'm in 2019

[@mrredmenx1428]

I would love to draw my own comic strip and become a cartoonist.

[@darthnihilus9964]

such form. very hero guy. much hair.wow.

[@zs7223]

Such quality. Many goods

[@clearcombat]

Bruce, do you think comic strip syndication is still worth the effort considering that newspapers are closing shop and the internet has been giving content away for free. What's a cartoonist to do! I think animation has made a comeback! Love your work Bruce.

[@kindlez98]

O,o watching this video made me feel in the 90's again

[@nunothebard]

Good video, thank you Bruce!

[@simsgirlgem]

awesome I was looking for something like this since I decided to try and make a comic based on my life in my home town thanks

[@Ztrigg]

I've been trying to break into the American Comic book industry. Sent one submission to a great group called Slave Labor Graphics but got rejected. I did it the way a cartoonist would do a strip (your own lettering). A few days ago I started searching about for Calvin and Hobbes clips on here to get inspired for my own idea. So as I watch this I've decided strips are more my route. As I watch this and learn about "newspaper syndicates" I can tell it's gonna be a little different of a ball game.

[@luuac2683]

Who is seeing this in 2020? Me? Okay.. Can't believe this was 10 years ago wow..

[@danielrocha8820]

Me

[@divisioneight]

I render my characters with a C-6 dip nib pen, a Rapidograph .60 for the words, and a 3x0 Rapidograph for the texture and background / shading. I do the "bubbles" with a 0.80 Rapidograph - lots of punch. The C-6 is tricky to get the variation in line thickness and takes time to figure out. Still working on it.

[@Soap0]

Man yor op with cartoons i wish i had one

[@clearcombat]

Syndicates are companies that sell your work to newspapers around the world, they also sell cartoons to TV channels.

[@dominiqueevans1614]

This is very handy. Thank you for uploading it :)

[@karthikmr097]

What pen do you use? What do you suggest to use for a novice cartoonist?

[@yuliakennedy6148]

I am making a comic company airplane comics and I need help on cartoony stuff

[@cartoondrawing9278]

Your channel is so awesome ..need to watch your each video.

[@TheMikalHarris]

What size paper was he using?

[@bluetarantulaproductions6179]

I actually have a comic strip on Facebook called "Coffee Monster". To see them search "Coffee Monster comic strips" on Facebook

[@lexw97]

whats syndicate..how can i show them my work? i want to make cartoon animations when im older but i think starting on comics would be the best idea

[@Haruko95]

where do you go to study making comics? Are there schools or do you just learn by yourself?

[@prathithshetty2958]

Very educative.. .

[@kushalcomics2936]

Hi I am from India I like ur comics and I have little inspiration from you 😉😁

[@pesjodd266]

What is the pen called that he used for outlining?

[@tediz77]

what pen is?

[@Fathee95]

Do the newspaper syndicates pay u for a daily comic strip??

[@billdevastator7277]

Great video

[@howva]

@simsgirlgem what makes you think people would want to read that?

[@doordashh]

twitch tv, needs to do a bruce blitz marathon.

[@ozdigg9254]

What is the proportion needed for the cartoon strip base board/paper? Materials, pens used etc. For beginners we need to know. Thank you.

[@ChrisDesatoff]

June W It varies. King Features syndicate requires 13”x9”, but other syndicates have their own requirements. Important thing is to not get hung up on the details...just start making comics and keep at it every day.

[@clearcombat]

Here is a tip for all of your future cartoonist. Even if you get rejected time and time again the syndicate will remember you. They will take a better look at your work and might ask you to draw a strip for them or write one for them. I know from experience don't give up, I was in the advertising business and as an art director I had to prove over and over again that I was able to create advertising that would sell a product. Once I started they always came to me.

[@peachylemon5613]

This is so cool 😀😁😎🙀😎👍🏿🖐🏿.

[@This-ones-on-her]

I'd like to know how Bill Watterson did his comics and what kind of pens he used

Some people use water color, I can't. Don't worry about color so much, the black lines and the white space are more important.
