[@RossDraws]

It's been a long time coming but this video is finally here! I really hope it can help out those of you that want to one day make your own art book! 💖💖💖💖

[@evalayasmith149]

Seeing these type of videos are SUCH a big help to me! It helps me know what I want to do when I finally start my career.❤

[@pepperoni7622]

Waaa that soo cool I still honestly can’t believe how pretty your art is!!! Ohh and umm 👉👈, you think you could make a video about you reviewing art that we send you??🥺

[@rashadmcduffie6582]

Great video, it was a pleasure and a honor meeting you and the crew at comic-con.

[@venote635]

I know this isn’t rally ralated to anything you did in the video but I just have some cool fan art ideas fr u #1 adventure time #2 shadow of the colossus #3 AKIRA #4 a day of the dead themed one

[@IamSTEVEMinecraft2024]

this didnt get 50k likes and im sad. i need to know how to design artbooks

[@justajamjar]

Ross is such a huge inspiration, Seeing Nima’s universe come to life has been so magical, it really inspires young artists like me who want their OC’s stories to come to life too someday :) 💕I’ve been wanting to buy NIMA for such a long time and I think I might be able to get it soon! definitely my favourite book ever and I don’t even have it yet!

[@MikachinPaint]

Im saving up for nima too honestly

[@RossDraws]

I am so so so so excited for you to dive into the world of Nima!!! One of the most rewarding things as an artist as to tell your story in your own way. I'm excited for you to get immersed and find out your favorite characters!!

[@zirphei_creations804]

100% agree, Sage. 🌹✨ Good to see you here. ^^

[@justajamjar]

@@zirphei_creations804 good to see you here too Luna!

[@CHEFPKR]

As someone who is currently trying to self publish...its a LOT of work. Like, a Lot a lot. Thanks for all of this, I will be seriously considering how to better self publish in the future.

[@sarvedha1117]

Wait did he just say he’s pitching Nima to streaming services or am I delusional? That awesome! Hope it works out

[@dearhyunjinie]

Thank you Ross for helping fellow artists like me to give more of an insight into everything that goes into making an artbook. This video has been highly anticipated and it was definitely worth the time waiting for it because it was so helpful. I'm definitely going to save this to watch again at a later date. You're such a huge inspiration; especially when it comes to worldbuilding. You've inspired me to make my own artbook for my world 'Kingdom of Eira' - makes me so full of joy! I can't thank you enough ah~ ❤️✨

[@nerothejackal9662]

You ross and other youtuber artists inspired me into digital art which I'm still learning

[@dominaiscna]

Hi Ross, I dont think you will ever see this but I still wanted to say this. You have been an inspiration for me, ever since I was a teen. Now, for a university project, I intend to make an art book of my own - with the purpose of growing myself as an artist - and this video of yours is godsend! You have no idea how much your wisdom has helped. So thank you for everything, Ross!

[@invernofuyu2542]

7:35 here in my city in Brazil is the oposite! I tryed to print my art on the print store in my city, the blue turned into black, the red turned into some rly desaturated red and the dark grey and black seems to be the same color for the printer... I fixed adding much, MUCH more bright on reds, blues and dark greys.

[@ganda6743]

I can see all the effort you put into this. Now i know why it took so long to upload a long video. Plus you just moved in to your new place LOOKS AMAZING. Worth the wait. LOVE WHAT YOU DO. This deserves 100,000 likes

[@MikachinPaint]

This is like a dream goal for artist like me 😖😳

[@justajamjar]

same Leo….same

[@StarLuson]

Ross, thank you so much! I can't even imagine how much effor this video took but it is extremely helpful. I am sure with this video you helped several people who will be or already are ready to start publishing

[@snubnosedmonke]

self publishing my very own art book has been my dream for a while but i never knew where to get started or when , this video is gonna be a great help for me. ty Ross for being such a big inspo to us

[@Bris05]

RREEEAAALLLYYYY interesting and helps! I can prepare if I want to print my own story book! Thanks a lot!^^

[@theAndyLao]

YESSSSSS Thank you Ross for putting this out there for us!!! Been waiting for this for SO longggg!!! I'm so hype

[@indrianurfitriani765]

Super helpful! And now I found nice publisher in my country with a good quality results of printing artbooks, with affordable cost😊. Maybe I will save this reference when I want to print my portofolio as an archive.

[@BARF_FACE_9000]

Thank you for sharing your insight. I have wanted to make an artbook for a long time. I have plenty of art at this point, but not a huge audience- so would likely do a small print run. I just hope established publishers offer lower run amounts at reasonable pricing (whereas I'm not going to be printing thousands - or maybe even hundreds..) of books. Maybe in time... Thanks!!

[@starlightsketches]

Yasss. I've been waiting for this! Ross thank you so much for taking out the time to make this video for everyone 😊😊😊🤗🤗🤗🥳🥳🥳✨✨✨

[@oxox116]

Hi Ross I'm a 14 year old boy and because of you I want to be an artist thank you for showing me the way of art an I made this cool character also one day I'm gonna be a character designer like you

[@divyapatel6146]

You are such an inspiration...I hope one day I will publish my artbook.

[@tmoe9380]

This gives me alot of info and insight for publishing an art book since i plan on publishing an art book as well in the very far future. But right now what i need is alot of practice and learning to do to reach a certain level for me to actually try and publish my future art books. Thanks a lot for this great vid!

[@lanita_mcgray]

Seriously, this is super helpful. I knew some of these, but only because I work in a small print center. You’ve touched base on so many other areas that other published creators haven’t or I wouldn’t have even considered. Thank you! 😱🤯☺️

[@saraswathivanibalgam8379]

Thanks a lot ROSS. this was like a master class.

[@Zaccura]

Ahh this is the video I wish I had a couple years ago! There is so much to learn when it comes to the book printing world, and you broke all the key stuff down so well. Especially the quantity formula! That's genius. Thanks so much for putting all the hard work into making this video💖🙏

[@shinobss2132]

This is amazing ross you inspired me to draw and get better it’s amazing seeing this!

[@kirinki13]

Goals all the way, I love having your books and is always what I go to for motivation on my own book

[@phoenix_room_art]

I'm gonna create my own artbooks!

[@madangopalpaul6534]

OMG THANKS ROSS! I was looking forward to a video like this for long🥺 yes please make another video on how to design it!✨🌿

[@Monedula]

I‘m a graphic designer. Thanks for the help. 😊🎉

[@AmiCyberspace]

I'm so happy you share all of this with us!! It makes me feel like a dream of creating an art book isn't as far away as it seems c:

[@sinborgi2475]

Thank you so much for this Ross! I know there's so much info about this stuff but it's great to hear tips from someone I've looked up to for so long!💗

[@kingtigerbooks1162]

Another great video from a great channel. People ask me how I choose what to believe.This man is a fantastic artist. During the lockdown I entertained myself with books, artwork and literature. You should too. These are my favorite books, all available on Amazon: - Infinite Worlds by Vincent DiFate - Works of Wonder by Michael Whelan - Beyond the Horizon by John Harris - Great Fighter Jets of the Galaxy 1 by Tim Gibson

[@shattered_glass_art6592]

Thank you soo much for this video your are such an inspirational artist your videos always gets me motivated thank you sooo much for your videos soon i will get the book Nima!!!!!!!!!💖

[@ndeyedraws]

Aaah, I've been wanting to publish an artbook for so long but didn't know where to start. Thanks for the tips, Ross! I might not be able to produce a full-fledged artbooks just yet, so I'll probably try with zines first 👌 thanks again for the tips 🥺

[@venus.3366]

I am currently working on my own shop which includes artbooks too and books that is more about me and how I do arts so this is alot of help for me💞

[@sarahluxton283]

Thank you so much for going through all this. I would definately love to see a video on how to layout your pages.

[@viridhan]

Oh wow! THis was so cool to know! I remember ppl asking for this vid XD Very long in the making indeed we appreciate you Ross. If I have a book someday Ill refer back to this

[@messyjess]

Thank you for making this video. I always dream of making my own art book one day. My art skill is not there yet, but I will save this video for when that day come 😎

[@Baobasaurawr]

Thanks for the tips! One dayyyyy!

[@keykey1072]

Step 1: learn to draw. Don’t you ever publish a book without learning how to draw!

[@nexusserc]

Instructions unclear. Spinning pencil on finger while releasing it’s too much work and giving up is easy.

[@erixoliver]

unless you are a writer :v

[@sakuraart6830]

I love your art books and I really want to make my own when my parents lets me sell prints and books this is so helpful I’m currently designing my own characters to create my own fantasy world. I love your art style and this is so useful for me to produce my own books. Thank you so much for inspiration and art tips to improve my art.

[@Aciimov]

The color parts is the most difficult one. Color correct is almost everything in a book production.

[@mickeycorp]

Ross: step 1 get your shit together Me: well I already failed

[@CarbonAnimationProductions]

But which manufacturer do you use Ross, I like the way your book looks

[@transformersftw123]

i’m going to be making an art book for my final university project

[@MariJadeWrites]

Thank you for your videos 😊 I am toying with the idea to make an art book of my own for my Lorelei story universe 😊 i have some concept art and wrote the story, current rewriting it. Your Nima book is a big inspiration for me and i hope to make my own unique version of an artbook for my characters 😊

[@thejollyjawbreaker]

WOW!! Thank you for this wonderful and amazing video! It is so well organized. I am working on self publishing my own book and this just lights the fire in my soul even more. Thank you and keep up the amazing work!!! 💜💜💜

[@Patriciaangelavas]

I need this art book and learning from you I interesting in self publishing but I may want to do the company route hehe I feel illustrators need art books because they can show their art and not waste the work when time passes by and no one sees it 😮 I want that idea to be popular

[@sdash5434]

Woah I didn't expect this much information! This is awesome thanks!

[@go_go_baronbunny]

I'm thinking of starting my own magna so this is very helpful

[@mabu2405]

love the video, it gave me good advices 💕 but I have a doubt yet... I know there are artbooks that dont say anything but if it does what do people write on them? 😟 (i think this could happend to many artist, that we can express ourselves well with pictures but not with words)

[@aliyutube]

very inspiring

[@MHgayos]

[@dontwren]

i dont know if you'll see this but weird question: if youre getting palettes of books shipping from overseas, whats the custom costs or duties like for US? custom duty is so confusing

[@patrickwillis13]

Hello idk if you're seeing this but I need help on actually designing a book. Im a sneaker artist and I wanted to create a kind of art encyclopedia for artist in my niche. What platform or method do I go about for designing the pages? Any kind of dos and don'ts

[@ONE9sky]

What is his drawing style called?

[@racheldumm1443]

Yeah, now I know how to make a book I just need an AUDIENCE to sell them, easy haha

[@clichethecat3998]

"... the cost of the shwantishees" XD

[@ricardoredway]

What convention got you the manufacterer?

[@hihi615]

Wait... so if he's pitching to other streaming services, does that mean there's a possibility a show can happen??
