NOW is the time to make a comic book (Ep. 5)

[@kirstinmarsh]

Glad to have seen this, my goal by the end of the year is to create a comic (I’m still learning to draw and anatomy and all that) but this video really re motivated me to keep trying

[@Timooee]

Keep on going! The world needs your story.

[@Goku.editz1-r3o]

Same!

[@RarebitFiends]

Do it! Then make another comic after that!

[@skatterbrainstudios]

This video, gave me the inspiration to finally knuckle down and start my independent comic journey. You've earned your self a subscriber and a fan, keep up the amazing work and can't wait to get my hands on your final comic!

[@Chris_M_Romero]

This is exactly what I needed to hear right now. Thank you so much! It's encouraging to see that someone else who went trough formal art education, has this opinion. 🙏

[@Celestial_Starknight]

I've been working on a graphic novel/comic series for about 7 years and still struggling, but watching things like these motivate me to strive forward even more to make it's existence as real as it can be, thank you!

[@RarebitFiends]

1:30 I would recommend watching movies with excellent cinematography. Cinematography and comic panel composition are brothers. I remember reading that Greg Capullo took a lot of inspiration from cinema in one of his early interviews in the 90s. 6:40 As a comic reader I personally appreciate analog drawn/inked comics quite a bit more, the art looks better. It takes a master level digital artist to make comics that don't feel digital (cheap and lazy). Drawing comics with pen and paper may be harder, but the end result (beside a greater sense of accomplishment) are pages, aka physical original art objects you can sell. This can become an extremely lucrative secondary business for comic creators who cultivate an audience.

NOW is the time to watch this video.

[@Timooee]

Right now!!!

[@ChrisMason_01]

I love this video, dude! Thanks for keeping the community inspired! As you said, it's about moving one step closer to getting better. I'm not the best at action scenes but my comic is forcing me to get better at the visual storytelling involved with it!

[@JaylinWalkerArt]

I started on episode 5, and now I want to go back and watch this series. Inspiring work !!

[@The_Lord_Baal]

You know what the other great part about this video is that those of us who really want to put forth the effort can connect with other people in these comment sections and pull our skills together to create an even better comic!

[@TitularHeroine]

I've been working on two books, one issue each, for about the past 18 months. Having hit some roadblocks and regular life turmoil, I was totally derailed for several weeks until picking up a pencil again today. This video came at just the right time. Thank you, and to anyone else reading -- we CAN do it!! Keep at it. We got this.

[@IDWalkerArt]

Been working on my book PANTHEON for the last two years. I'm a one man show and right now i'm in the middle of producing issue 5 and 6. Been quite the ride and wouldn't trade this experience for the world!

[@Timooee]

Nice, dude! Keep making stories!

[@notanothercomedian]

you know what helps, when you do a small quick rough 3 point perspective of the scene and the blocking of the characters before you thumbnail it. now all you have to do is imagine where the camera is and the mood and tone you want to set with the panels composition and thats what you draw/thumbnail

[@notanothercomedian]

learned this bc I'm drawing a 40 page story rn and that really helped me with composition and paneling.

[@theasianjenn]

Loveeee these tips-studio vlogs are so fun! 😆👏

[@JH-pe3ro]

I started with drawing seriously just a few years ago and I managed to make some comics pages I was happy with in that first year. Of course, looking back on them I see a lot of bad drawing, but I was getting through it and telling a story. I had to go over things so many times to do those first few pages - there are a lot of gaps that you only become aware of by trying to make something. But I did that, I drew seriously and doodled as well. I eventually started a "comic diary" where I would recall things and put them in four-panel sequences. Comics happens in little bursts for me - I'll do outdoor/urban sketching for months at a time, polishing those drawing skills by taking what I see and putting it in a perspective grid or stylizing it or adding some fiction - and then I'll have a few days where I work on a character or story. Last summer for ArtFight's yearly event, I decided to make comics pages and I did six of them that month, all traditional ink. It's been little steps towards the skills and style I am aiming for. My target for this year is to make some minicomics - that format is based around US letter paper, so it's easier to work with and organize using regular office supplies. Over the holidays I made a ring binder with a mix of grid paper, drawing papers, and printed references in plastic covers, so now I have a whole "studio" that I can carry around that costs under $50. The references are all stuff I found in Internet Archive's book collection, screenshotted and arranged into cheat sheet pages, and then printed from the local library using their free allowance. The budget can be really, really low - putting everything together into an inspirational space to do that work is what matters.

[@Forcemaster2000]

Great video and a great point! Subbed to see if you have more great content like this!

[@RebCosm]

Really dig the panel work boss man. Sound advice too 🤙

[@televisionkid7783]

i made my first comic book (24 pages) last year and im so excited to make an even longer one this year :D i was stressing about nothing

[@PaperThinnGlennHall]

do you have a treadmill or do you go for walks? do you write/draw while you're out somewhere? those can be helpful for art/writing blocking

[@parisulki729]

I am at the part of process where i am beyond starting it, i already did first issue. So now i am struggling with continuing it, as my perfectionism holds me back, because i want to make sure that story foundation is good. I guess i am ahead of many other people, but why i wanna say, it's better to have my problems, than struggling with starting. You all will figure it out in the process. Just let yourself do whatever.

[@Wrathgir]

I actually been working on my comic I have planned to release at least the first Volume by the end of February this year. I wanna see if I can make that deadline as much as I can. Though I might not fully make it, I can sure try.

[@jeremyhyler]

im currently doing that right now 30 pages pencied 3 inked. i been planning for over a year after doing 8 comics last year, usinf mostly other people properties, now is the time to put my stories down.

[@Johuku]

Im still learning to draw anatomy and other fundamentals, but i do have an ambition to publish my own manga inspired comics. This video reaffirmed that i can and will make that dream a reality one day, so thank you from the bottom of my heart..

[@artisticbloodflow]

Thank you so much for this video.

[@spadedust24]

Wow your problem solving ideas are great.

[@davidpirochta3460]

I'm now in the stage of writing script/storyboarding. When I'm in the corner I watch movie that is similar to my scene. I mean there are more inspiration than comic book. But you must know movies... Which I do so it is easier for me.

[@AdinoJay]

Hoping to have my first few chapters done this year gonna come back to this video once its done

[@frogclaws2354]

i’m torn between committing to a comic or a web toon. i know comic panels are sized and designed specifically with page layout in mind, whereas it seems webtoons can be more loose with the formatting since every frame is generally the same size. can somebody offer thoughts?

[@Dpoftheyear]

i needed to hear ,see and listen to this wow .......

[@Timooee]

glad it made an impact!

[@Enbiienvy]

Love this! Making me feel more committed to my intention to keep working on a comic idea I've been trying to script and character design for

[@khaosarts2089]

Thanks Timooee

[@ProfessorJoshuaWilson]

Keep it going!!!!

[@Timooee]

I'll do my best!

[@alec_arts]

I have been wanting to do a comic for a while now but just dont know how to start or get a good workflow going. Best software to use for whichever steps. Im curious what your workflow is as you seem well organized and thats the kind of structure I think I need to get started chipping away at this finally. I usually use procreate for my day to day "throw away" drawings and would love to merge that into something more worth while like a comic. but I also have access to clip and photoshop and whatever else on desktop. Just love the mobility of procreate and the ipad. Great video.

[@stagfoo]

super cool cheap way to just start making mini comic is to make a zine! we need more zines 🙏

[@marcusmanningtv]

Godspeed

[@NateToons]

Awesome video dude

[@Timooee]

Glad you enjoyed it!

[@V2Cheese]

Have you read Understanding comics by Scott McCloud ?

[@Timooee]

I havent read that one, but I’ve read Making Comics by the same guy.

[@V2Cheese]

@Timooee that is my next read! I would highly recommend Understanding Comics, lot of really interesting concepts that I've never considered when reading comics.

[@Crazybark]

First person to say the opposite of wjat im ised to hearing. So im here to listen

[@Timooee]

Hope it helps!

[@BSide-ky2og]

Are you using PS on the iPad ? 5:20

[@TheOneeeandonly]

[@willcardona4717]
