❤ How to Make Manga & Comics on a BUDGET ❤

[@asa-pi]

For those who may not have used microns before: 08 micron = 0.50 mm (pen tip) 01 micron = 0.25 mm 005 micron = 0.20 mm When you showed your binder full of manga pages, it brought me back to when I was 12 years old drawing comics. Fun times!

[@exiledp0tat042]

Asa Pi thanx

[@beybladegeeksjr.7734]

Haha, I’m actually 12 and making a comic too! What a coincidence!

[@catlikeschoco]

Wait hold up- My friend has those microns! She has like an entire set of micron pens, which she sometimes uses in her drawings

I want to start making my comic series, but I'm so scary to start because of my age and it looks so hard... that nobody will notice my work. I just don't know how to stop fearing and start working. (sorry for my English. I'm from Russian,so it's hard for me.)

[@MyMangakaLIFE]

OMG don't worry, dear! Just draw and have fun💕 Creating Manga and comics is hard work, but if you love to do it, you can find a lot of happiness doing it😄💕 Don't let fear stop you from doing things that can bring you happiness (and bring happiness to people who may read your story) +Miroko 1717

You showing your old Manga pages reminded me of how I started when I was about ten years old. I used to draw on A5 and on top of that on both sides of it because I didn't know that editing and formatting a page digitally was actually a thing!

Lizabeth can you do a video on inking techniques for manga pages to shade and fill in areas without using screen tones. It would be so helpful.

[@MyMangakaLIFE]

OMG ABSOLUTELY!!💕💕💕 I've been wanting to share a video on some traditional inking techniques for shading manga, so please look out for it, dear! THANK YOU for the request! +Nephtalie Albert

[@talimediaart]

My Mangaka LIFE you're welcome. Your artwork is anazing. And I have a question for you. Does an artist need every single brand of art supplies or is it based on personal preference to have a few brands?

[@RebeDrawsStuff]

I love this video. I wish this advice was around when I was 12 years old. I still remember that I drew my comics in composition notebooks, made the panels with a school ruler and made the line art with black marker and black pen. Obviously it wasn't perfect but I have to agree that it helped me a lot to learn. I'm hoping that you consider showing us your old comic books, it's always nice to see how an artist has become better on their own art.

[@dandalton4176]

Speedball ink is also my favorite ink. I buy it in the big 16oz bottle size (which runs about $10 at my local art store.) This ink has almost supernatural properties. The longer you let it dry the more indestructible it becomes. According to Speedball, the ink isn't actually waterproof until at least 24 hours of drying time, but it even becomes marker resistant when dried longer than 72 hours. I've found that letting it dry for 5-7 days is usually sufficient for Copic coloring. Good to know if you're not working on a budget of time.

[@FutureMangaka]

Nice I remember making comic as a kid ...I did not keep the pages but I did keep the binder filled with some manga ideas. Will I ever use them in the future...maybe.

[@MyMangakaLIFE]

It's always cool to keep your old drawings! Even if you never refer to them for future projects, it's just nice to see where you came from as an artist 😄 +Future Mangaka

[@endlessdaybreak9365]

Best channel ever.

[@darkrai49874]

Mechanical pencils are great and I honestly prefer them but I find that using a regular pencil to just rough things out nice and loose and mechanical pencils to add the details and refine things works pretty well.

[@MyMangakaLIFE]

The mechanical pencil was recommended so you could create clean, precise lines XD You know, like the ACTUAL line art (not the sketches) +darkrai49874

[@darkrai49874]

My Mangaka LIFE that's what I do for the line art tho.... unlike you I don't use a light table to take things to a clean paper though if that's what you mean. Idk. Either way I was just sharing what I like to do.

Ok, when you held up the one you did at age 12, I did not expect that. That black and silver cover is seriously dope. I know it’s just a taped up sketch pad, but no joke, I would pay $100 for a nice hardcover book that looked like that.

[@cherrycordiaI]

Your art at 14 is better than mine at 28... And I was one of those 'drawing as long as you could hold a pencil' people.

[@mad_hatter7956]

This video is really helpful for people like me that want to make manga as a hobby. Some videos that I watch, they're not really that helpful and specific regarding on what you'll need to use in making a manga. Thank you for making this video!

[@momonekonya5015]

For my school art fair thing, we made comics for my drawing and painting. My teacher was great and allowed some of us who were more into comic book art to make comics. She gave us like a whole semester for our comics. She was going to use a book binder machine to bind them for us, but I decided literally last minute that the whole thing was trash to I redrew all of it and bound it by hand using thread, a needle, and glue. :3 those are my humble comic beginnings of sewing at school

[@charlottechen6887]

I've watched your first video on how to make manga and watched the 1.5 video as well and I wrote the steps down so that I could follow them the right way because I have a learning disability. The first time I got my comic book paper at hobby lobby, I begin to draw on them without a story line which was a mistake but I still have the paper in my chest that I got for my birthday this last year

[@ness.ness.]

THIS IS SO HELPFUL!

[@MyMangakaLIFE]

SO HAPPY TO HEAR THAT, DEAR!😄💕💕💕 +Nessville

[@emcohnway]

The KOH-I-NOR elephant eraseris the best eraser. I have the Faber castell as well (the one on the left in the video) but the elephant one is better. You just have to cut the corner for it to be sharp and than you can erase for highlights.

I screamed when i saw you posted a new video haha

[@MyMangakaLIFE]

AAAW!!💕💕💕 THAT'S SOOO SWEET!! +Sapphire 1306

[@hirota8662]

I WAS SHOOK WHEN THIS CAME OUT YASS.

[@SebastianSeanCrow]

I would have also added cardstock to the beginners list. It's fairly cheap and you can fully color with markers with little to no bleed through. At Michaels you can get almost any color you want for $2 and it comes in packs of 50. That's the only place I've found white cardstock so far, but on eBay you can get a pack of, like, 100 for $6.

[@MyMangakaLIFE]

Thank you, but this video isn't about making illustrations and art supplies; it's about supplies for making manga and comics on a budget ^__^;; Cardstock would be too costly for young people after buying 200 sheets to complete a book, and young people may need to re-draw pages numerous times for practice. Messing up artist-grade paper (or the fear of messing up) can cause them distress, but computer paper (being so inexpensive) will ease their minds. They'll feel more free to experiment ♡ I feel computer paper would be more cost effective for them too♡ Staples sells packs of 300 sheets (and more) for $2 (and $0.01 during their "back to school" sales LOL) +Sebastian Sean Crow

[@ellyettepaige]

Sebastian Sean Crow I think that's a great suggestion. 😊 Do you know that Michael's is having some of their biggest sales ever right now? I got so many things there the other day for absolute steals. Their papers n cardstock are the lowest they've ever been right now. Just thought you might like to know, (if you didn't already), so you can stock up. x 😊

[@SebastianSeanCrow]

+Lori Davis yeah I get texts and emails from them

[@SebastianSeanCrow]

+My Mangaka LIFE that's real cheap! I was just thinking about using a whole lot of ink to fill in big areas and all the bleed through I've experienced whenever inking heavily on copy paper. I know there are places to get cardstock even cheaper but I haven't found them yet unfortunately.

[@augustsart5374]

Staedler... I am from Austria we have this brand to. I speak german though. So if you want to pronounce it: It's basically like when you say "stand" but without the n => stad then you follow with a "ler" as when you say "filler" but you don't say the fi=> ler That is how I pronounce it.

[@coffeeallen6166]

Tip from another Self Published mangaka- If you're on a budget, PLEASE learn to use nib pens. Microns and the others can get EXPENSIVE if you draw a lot! Nib pens can last for years, and the ink is cheap. You can also get more interesting lines with them.

[@dejamartin7201]

wow the one you made when you was a kid was LIT lol!!!

[@ambersernas3163]

I just want to say as an aspiring artist myself - I absolutely LOVE your videos. But more-so, my just turned 10 year old daughter absolutely loves you as well! We watch your video's together and though she lacks confidence in her work, seeing some of your older video's showing your work around her age and how you are now has done a lot for inspiring her to keep at it. (This weekend she won 3rd place for art in her age division at the county fair, she was hyped!) She creates her own stories, has her own OC's, and has chosen manga as a path to follow! Any advice for a very young inspiring artist? Or maybe a video for young artists if you're looking for video ideas!

But just keep in mind that you'll only get out of them what you put into them. So be sure to put in effort to learn all you can.
