Watching the inking process here is an inspiration - the speed, the control, the thick-to-thin without hesitation. I could watch this on loop! 🤩

[@RemyWilde]

Oh... I recognise that Dr Harleen drawing 😋. Absolutely amazing to see you inking it and such great advice on publishing. I think many people don't consider how much work it is outside of just creating the book.

Great video. I have now self-published 3 comics and it has been a rush to hold them in my hands every time.

[@mjperljam]

You are an inspiration. Your advice is so well presented. Thank you for sharing.

[@makekong]

This is great advice, even for the short comic, doing a little bit more to make it look like something done with care will definitely make an impression on the reader and improve the chances of coming back for more

Merci, encore, toujours ! À chaque fois je sais qu'à l'issue de la vidéo, je vais me sentir à la fois boosté et inspiré en tant qu'artiste. En voyant ton dessin de fin, je m'aperçois que je serais aussi passionné de voir une mise en couleur d'une de tes illustrations que ce soit le sujet d'une vidéo ou l'illustration d'un sujet. Très bonne continuation à toi et Pierrick !

I was there at that comic con.

[@sarahferris7892]

This video was a more than welcome addition to my afternoon! Great piece!

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

Thanks, Sarah!

[@vidaenagonia-cl]

Your videos are so useful! Last year i decided to use the lockdown time to write some short comic scripts and i hope to find a an artist here on Chile to start making my own comics someday 😁

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

Yay!

[@davisatom]

I ordered a print as soon as you said this was available on the shop. Looks amazing. Love the great advice as well.

[@edriesanvicente2458]

Yoo i've learned so much from your channel!! Looking to support your works

[@cedrics.corner]

Toutes vos capsules sont vraiment inspirantes pour quelqu'un comme qui, l'an dernier, a pris la décision de réaliser son rêve et dessiner de la bd. Et c'est vrai que de commencer par de petits projets et non de longues saga aide à demeurer motiver ! Je viens de terminer mon deuxième projet de quelques pages et j'en conçois tellement de fierté :D Un grand merci et j'ai déjà hâte à la prochaine !

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

Félicitations ! Une fois que les premiers pas sont faits, tout est plus facile :)

[@TonyTylerDraws]

I really needed to see this.

[@curtisthomson4209]

[@matthewkeating-od6rl]

[@pedrolima2970]

I would really appreciate if you could share the video setup you use in these videos, they all look amazing

[@xorlacanj8051]

🤟

[@losfeliz3421]

Thank you ☺️

[@andykuhn9798]

EC - Love your videos. Glad you are making them. What is the brush pen you are using to fill in blacks in this video. Thanks.

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

Thank you! ! I use a simple (and cheap) Pentel brush.

[@yellowmelon7494]

What type of pen are you using?

[@eduardoteixeira2479]

Great video Elsa! Short, concise and a lot to digest. I am currently making my 8-page comic, to practice with the goal of being able to live mostly from comics in 5 years. There is one thing that still puzzles my mind: marketing a self-published book when money is short. Any tips on that? Thanky you!

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

Way to go, Eduardo! Marketing is a tough one, I understand your problem. I'm by no mean an expert in the subject, but I tend to say that when it comes to putting self-published comics out there, Instagram is your friend. Grow an audience with your work (with your comics, pinups, sketches...) so you already have their attention when it's time to sell your books.

[@eduardoteixeira2479]

Thank you for your reply, Elsa. I will follow you advice.

[@Spyderist]

Good video

Bonjour, je ne vois pas malheureusement de traduction française, est ce qu'elle sera appliquée en CC prochainement ?

[@ElsaCharretierChannel]

Salut Stéphane ! Les sous-titres arriveront dans quelques jours, en effet. On va essayer de mieux s’organiser pour les prochaines vidéos 😉
