inking pages for my graphic novel ✦ art studio vlog

[@edelgrane9375]

the "intimidating page" is absolutely gorgeous! All the manga studies definitely paid off, and the brush textures are so fun

[@Miyankochan]

That's exactly why I prefer traditional art. It's like life. You make a mistake, you live with it. You try and make the best of it. And because of the permanence you really have to be present and aware with every stroke. I think we have become way too comfortable with digital art and the option to always undo and correct however many times we like. We have the luxury to not care because we can try hundred times anyway. Well, in real life, we can't. If you said something, it's said. You cannot take anything back, you cannot undo what has been done. And that's the beauty of it in my eyes.

[@jesimielchibundom]

Bullshit

[@eroane84]

Totally agree!!!^_

[@erinrants9371]

Well said.

[@andrewkiwanuka4633]

Well said!

[@lettylettebowskie]

Watching you ink your Graphic Novel is so very calming. With the new paper size you can see so much details of your brush strokes especially in the clouds around the moon 🤤. You will absolutely wow-ing the publishers! 🩵

[@cookie-kei]

What a delight to work alongside you Fran! Love seeing the behind the scenes of your graphic novel and I can't wait for the day I will have this baby right in my hands to read!

[@ashleyrobinfranklin7091]

40 pages for a pitch??? that's an extremely high number, Fran. That's so much work you're doing without the guarantee of publication. I really hope they let you use those as final art as well in the project. Just for reference, for my first graphic novel, I sent in 12 sample pages, a sample script, an outline and character studies. Your pages look absolutely stunning, btw!

[@Andrea_7783]

Hi Fran, I’m not an illustrator, Howe I’ve always been a perfectionist. So, the idea of making something not perfect made me crazy. Now, I have embraced the idea that imperfections are fine and give character to all things, including art. By the way, could you make a video on the supplies you’re using and loving at the moment? Xoxo love!!

[@honeymama777]

Love the hair! Would also love a new video about current favorite art supplies you're using for both the novel and for other/pleasure. The parallel glider, the pencils/pens, what paper are you using, why you like them, etc. I like the videos in which you go art supply shopping or do a deep dive on replacing your favorite discontinued gel pen! Thank you and please give kisses to your kitty-man!

[@FranMeneses]

next video is going to be all about the tools I'm using! : - )

[@nisper5396]

I understand so well the fear of trying to do anything in a physical medium. Having no “undo” button is terrifying. The amount of control you have with brushes, maintaining thin and thick lines is inspiring. And those textures on the sky and tree bark! Amazing! Good job, as always!

[@gennyquevillon1716]

The shaking and nervousness are not visible at all. I have to say, watching you work is actually very calming and soothing. I feel motivated to try and finish some projects now! 🌟 I am not an illustrator, or anything like that, but I do love to doodle, and inking any sketch is always the part I dread the most. Kind of like writing an essay during an exam. The pencil draft comes out easily without having to use an eraser, but as soon as you take out the pen to write the final... Corrector all over the place!

[@ЛюбаМуромская-т1ш]

omg i LOVE SO MUCH this style of your videos! so calming and interesting at the same time! you are incredibly talented

[@odoriko_lu]

Ayyy Fran, se nota tanto todo tu estudio de texturas en tus ilustraciones ahora, me encanta el proceso y el resultado. Un abrazo gigante

[@KomalNirwan]

Friday's joy. 🤗

[@BarbaraBoholm]

Fran i love watching you work on your graphic novel,well i love all your videos🤗💖your bookshelves you made,your reading nook,you doing a grocery haul or travels... You always inspire me and i am so happy for this one. Warm hugs🫂all the way from Sweden🕯📓🖋

[@garancem7303]

this video series is so so so interesting to follow ! i can't wait to read your graphic novel - until then, your vlogs will be a renewed delight to watch

[@SwanStar]

Your hair looks beautiful! I love all the pastel vibes you put your hair through.. it's such a great look for you. The cut length is awesome too, both in the main vlog and in the skillshare part where it's a little purpler and styled with a slight soft messy curl. Ooooo, so lovely. And the clips are adorable. (also got lots of words of praise about your awesome artwork, but this is a hair complimenting comment)

[@SwanStar]

Ok, I have to comment again. The cut length of your hair looks so good i have to say it twice. I looks so good. I'm considering cutting my hair again - thanks for the great reminder of how good that length looks.

[@julie_uk_]

Ps the detail on the tree, grass & night sky, amazing ❤

[@alicialara3071]

Fran, nunca te dejo comentarios pero me encanta tu contenido desde hace mucho años, cuando eras Frannerd y vivías en Alemania. . No soy artista ni nada parecido jaja. Solo me relaja muchísimo tu trabajo y edición, la música y así. Admiro mucho tu trabajo y tenacidad. Te mando un abrazo!

[@speshurl]

it's been a really long time since last I work with pen on paper but inking will always be one of my biggest fear since I cannot undo things anymore. admire the control you have with your pens. keep going, Fran, you got this!

[@_chetom]

aahh verte entintar es hipnotizante !! la precision de tu trazo y pulso 🧡 la "intimidating page" quedo preciosa!

[@stephboilard]

Fran, I LOVED watching you ink these pages! That brush pen looks so satisfying to use.

[@beebaa5946]

The nightsky on the first page you showed is absolutely gorgeous!!!!!

[@hollydivya]

I never get tired of these videos! Working on my own graphic novel currently too, and it's nice to work alongside with you 🤗💜

[@erniesunny2]

Impressive inking!!! So statisfying to watch and even more, when you see the result!

[@saer_uhh]

Fran, I’m watching this on my tv and wow wow it’s so fun to watch you ink ❤

[@anansue]

Hola Fran! Soy una seguidora nueva desde Madrid. Me han encantado estas paginas, me puse el vídeo antes de dormir, super relajante e inspirador❤

[@ChantelleArts]

I've wanted to get that brush pen for a while, it looks so good!! 😍

[@sorryangelina]

I was wondering what brush pen this is if you don't mind sharing!

[@ChantelleArts]

@@sorryangelina I believe it's the pentel fude brush pen. they're just a little pricey in the uk since they're imported, plus you then refill them with ink 🥰

[@sofiamoreira2014]

i miss drawing so badly when i watch your vlogs :') i love how they're really inspiring

[@michellewemegah]

I always love reading your little, random entries at the end of your descriptions. such cute, little treasures ❤

[@rogaido370]

Gracias por volver a hacer videos. Es super interesante acompañar tu trabajo en el largo plazo y ver como vas probando materiales nuevos o diferentes a los que venias usando. Hermoso todo siempre.

[@anitataraki5512]

This is exactly the type lf thing ive been meaning to work on. Ive been creating characters mostly and i enjoyed the jazz.

[@AnaBela1990]

ohh this was so satisfying to watch! i love the close ups and different angles, it feels so immersive you’re doing such a great job💛 looking forward to keeping you company in this wonderful journey

[@wielkav]

¡Usas perspectiva isométrica!!! Yo siempre uso de 1 o 2 puntos, pero creo que ahora usaré isométrica. ¡Bendita seas, Fran!

[@erku1669]

la paz mental que dan tus videos... gracias por compartirnos tu trabajo de manera tan delicada e inspiradora

[@XXAsagiXX]

Love these videos sm! ❤ Only thing I wish is that they were longer so I could work with you all day!

[@anacardozo6759]

Deliciosas todas las texturas, estuve extasiada viendo mientras las hacia. Tengo años siguiendo tu trabajo y noto que ahora mismo tiene mucha influencia newyorkina y wow

[@accade_acaso]

Hi Fran :) nice to see you! Looking fresh like a blue sky! Thank you for sharing your thoughts, ideas and vulnerability with us. It’s a gift to be able to see your wip and final results. Wish you good luck for the pitch and I’m excited for you for Seville ❤ you’re super duper person! Much love from Italy

[@camillakstudio]

Thank you for sharing part of your process😊

[@FacundoNehuenLopez]

Que lindo ver el backstage de esas páginas siendo entintadas!

[@waterbitten]

Scaling up the page size makes your art look different to me anyway, I noticed the page size but I also noticed the details in your art style which is lovely.

[@cosmicbunnyarts]

watching your process is always such a delight 💜✨

[@SemplicementeSE]

Before you ink, make copies with a scanner/printer. It will make you feel better. ❤

[@BrujaNuminosa]

Love it ❤

[@sabelavazquez3314]

Gracias por compartir el proceso con nosotras Fran, me parece muy generoso por tu parte 🙏🏼. Una duda técnica con respecto al entintado: por qué prefieres hacerlo a mano en lugar de digitalmente? Es por curiosidad, de hecho a mí me gusta que se siga usando el método "analógico".

[@Mah_Sh_ell]

I appreciate you for such beautiful content… I love your detail work and that background scene of the kid watching tv was too cute… you’re such an inspiration… please continue to prosper 🎨👩🏻‍🎨❤️✨✨

[@abigailknowles5042]

love these vids fran 🤍🦋

[@Palehotdog]

omg I was just thinking about you yesterday and then I wake up to a new video yaaaay!

[@Colorfull.hasoja]

Loooooove the tree and the sky 😍😍😍 Amazing Work! 🌿

[@plomiplomicious2796]

Fran! Tranquila todos los paneles de historieta se pueden cortar y pegar la versión corregida o un poco de pintura blanca y listo. Todos los historietistas lo hacen 😅😅😅. Amo el pelo 💙 saludos desde 🇦🇷

[@zoefortier8673]

I've really enjoyed this video ! Merci beaucoup for hanging out !

[@ashmitanandy]

I'm writing my own graphic novel script while watching you progress!! It feels like I'm working together with a friend on Facetime haha 😄

[@lucianacarvajal2495]

Te sigo hace muchisisisimos años y no deja de sorprenderme tu jornada como artista, Fran. Hermoso laburo.

[@jesimielchibundom]

Your work is very beautiful and the story looks very interesting

[@AshleyAwe]

Fran! Beautiful colors. Your drafting skills! Wowah! Ugly drawings have been so beneficial. I adopted your "Ugly" drawings book idea. Affectionately called "Ugly drawings." So good to see you again. Thank you for making a video for KZbin! Congratulations on your success and much more to come. Glad you made it home safely. Hope you were able to find some familial resolutions that you can live with and cope with during such a time. All the best.

[@emrysx2725]

Pausé el vídeo para.comentar, pero la página quedó muy bien, el cielo te quedó demasiado hermoso 😍

[@violetalatorre4846]

Maravilloso el proceso. De hecho, cuando antes se hacia todo mediante el método tradicional, los dibujantes hacían las páginas en un tamaño algo más grande que un A3 (incluyendo sangres y líneas de seguridad) así que has hecho bien en aumentar el tamaño. Yo hace poco hice una minihistorieta y la hice toda a tradicional y termine sintiéndome incomoda con el tamaño folio.

[@Pipapisca]

El entintao de ese cielo me parece lo más hermoso ever 😮

[@Eversew139]

Your brush pen skills are amazing.

[@candelilusa]

fran...que maravilla todo lo que haces. cada linea es perfecta, llena de amor

[@paulaperez.ilustra]

Sentí mucho amorcito cuando hablaste de las marcas ❤

[@carolinamarcano9764]

Tu trabajo y tu energía son geniales... Adelante!!

[@nadyartillustration]

The inked pages look so yummy and good!!

[@celestianforce]

Love the hair color. Great video!

[@gwendoleeeen]

Love uuuu fraaaaan, always your videos make my day

[@tomapers1906]

Love your vibe❤

[@camilamontesgarcia3848]

Fran, deberían hacer un workshop en México ❤❤

[@vnillv]

I love the ~Hey Arnold Vibes~on this ✨

[@lauraraynaud8015]

i really love your work !! ^^

[@sohvp7934]

Estoy aprendiendo a tatuar, te entiendo jaja. Hacer una línea, un punto, requiere de mucha concentración porque no hay vuelta atrás. Aún estoy aprendiendo a lidiar con los nervios jaja 😭

[@xxisdoll0801]

Pregunta: por qué lo estás haciendo "tradicional" y no digital ? No sé si lo mencionaste en otro video. Me encantan los fondos, buen trabajo 👌

[@vickie_sha]

Absolutely love!

[@cariiinen]

lovely

[@fabiwijnschenk5773]

So inspiring!

[@valerieheaton1067]

I emailed crescent earlier this year about this and they said “Good afternoon- There will be more versions of this product available in Q3 of 2024.” So, fingers crossed? ❤

[@ariannecuarez3436]

Hermoso trabajo, Fran.

[@Tiasorda]

Igual tenga cuidado con los detalles...porque si achican el tamaño para la publicación.. perderá los detalles. O la textura que aplicas quedará muy juntas, puede perder la "textura". Espero que lo hayas probado achicando con la impresora para ver los resultados. Mucho éxito con la novela grafica!!

[@lucysmyth1970]

What pen are you using here? It looks so satisfying to ink with! I too would love to see a video about you favorite art supplies :) Gorgeous work, and love the hair too! xx

[@nishipatel358]

Would love.to see all the materials u are using. Tje pens, ink and brushes.

[@julie_uk_]

I can only work traditionally, I can't draw digitally (I tried, but it wasn't for me). I love that 'flaws' can be part of the process/beauty. #WabiSabi ❤️

[@reenriot]

Just found your channel :) great videos. Keep on :)

[@SundaysSound]

Love your videos! What kid of pen are you using for the "inking-part". I love the look of the strokes!

[@mariechevalier73]

@frannerd what are the ink pens you are using please? I’d love to know the supplies you use ❤ thanks!

[@bahardavutoglu6225]

Your videos are so incredibly relaxing 🥰 love to Watch them before going to bed. greetings from germany, dear Fran. And free Palestine 🍉 ❤

[@mariaignaciarusque4333]

Hola Fran! espero que estés muy bien. Has pensando en hacer este workshop online? que ganas de ir a Sevilla! pero vivo en Chile. Saludos :)

[@gingerwhale871]

Hey! Where’d you get that super bendy camera/microphone tripod arm thingy from?

[@iruexposito972]

Hola Fran! Queria preguntarte si el comic lo vas a hacer bicolor, con la tinta a mano o full en photoshop. Tambien queria preguntarte si el pincel que usas es un recargable de tinta china :) Muchas gracias

[@LaEveBarr]

Hola Fran, tu novela gráfica saldrá al español? Saludos desde Chile ❤

[@v4l324]

Que bonito. ¿De casualidad sabes cin qué tecnica coloreaba Moebius?

[@TobiLotta]

where did you get this arm? how dos it call it?

[@julie_uk_]

I would love to come to your & Ed's workshop, but, family responsibility

[@MariskaGewald]

Have you ever tapped your paper twice after to undo a mistake you’ve made on paper after working on ProCreate for too long? Or am I the only silly one? 😅

[@themindofmary]

I also zoom in and out by pinching 🤏 😂

[@moielenamtz]

where did you get your desk easel ?

[@karinnaadad1]

Does anyone know the name of the intro song? I'm a little obsessed with this song.

[@vickie_sha]

Hi! Sorry for misunderstanding! The website is fully in Spanish so I'm curious which language will be on the workshop? English?

[@LuckyLifeguard]

yeehaw!!!

[@elifcliff]

I'm sure it is asked before but could you share what is the pen you used for inking?

[@gonpi77]

🖤🖤🖤

[@SusanneKroghHansen]

Will the workshop in Seville be in Spanish??

[@pablokalaka]

Are you chilean? I am an illustrator too, and based in the US, and chilean (too?)!!!!

[@catklu]

👏☺
