Phil Jimenez Shares His Page Layout Process

[@queazy03]

Comics are HARD to make. Thank you Phil Jimenez for sharing your process!

[@SuperAntgarcia]

I agree with Old,this is the nuts and bolts of story telling,it's not just pretty pictures,its all about the story,great vid,hats off to mr. Jimenez for being such a fantastic artist and teacher.

[@3chainz441]

I noticed a lot of his layout pages have many panels. DC stories tend to get that way so you have Phil here brainstorming doing extremely technical layouts and sometimes more than one through his process. Seems he's extremely good at modifying stuff on the fly too but he obviously knows what he's doing. Its hard work, thats why they have editors and it helps to have a great art team. NIce vid!

[@AngryBrother360]

there is one step between script and layouts,and that would be gathering of reference images.which of course is dictated by the plot itself. and the you move on to the stage that mr jimenez is demonstrating so masterfully. bravo,mr jimenez,bravo.

Been a fan of Phil Jimenez for a decade. Great Vid. Already subcribed. Thanks!

[@thecomicarchive]

Hey everyone. Thanks for checking out the channel and hope you all enjoy what you find. As I have been interviewing creators there have been a number of them who are homosexual. As far as I am concerned their work speaks for itself. As with all the creators I've interviewed they have all been people whom I look up to and whose work has inspired me. Phil is a great artist and teacher and I'm happy to call him a friend.

[@beepbopboop7727]

Why is his sexuality relevant?

[@AdiFingold]

such a strange comment

[@NexusArtRealm]

A+++++++++++++++ Couldn't have said it better. Phil Jimenez ROCKS and that's all there is to it.

[@DirtyMotorOil]

where can i find a book like his on his desk? the photo reference of the body?

[@JacksonTaylorandTheSinners]

Phil is a savage. Thanks for the video.

[@TheKevphil]

Those are some great layouts. I wonder if Phil has embraced digital and if that is helping folks "stay on the same page"-- literally.

[@thecomicarchive]

@DirtyMotorOil Anatomy books are pretty easy to find. Most bookstores will have them. Amazon surely will.

[@DevonDevereaux]

Thanks for this video. Great stuff!

[@Chrisartviz]

Can u do a list of what kind of size of paper you used A4 of a specific size for comic or Manga .pls

[@vikasupadhyay1398]

Does he lightbox to enlarge his thumbnails to work big on final board?

[@snakemont]

Is he working on 11x17 Inch bristol board or does he draw on the original US-Comic size page format?

[@thecomicarchive]

+snakemont for his layouts he doesn't work on Bristol. I think he just uses printer paper but I could be wrong.

[@thecomicarchive]

+snakemont just to be clear though, his layouts are small but the actual pencil pages he hands off to his inker are at 11x17.

[@snakemont]

Thank you! Well his layouts (not the thumbs) are realy clear.... Awesome! And thank you for the response!

[@sonicpreacher1]

YEAH... layouts are rarely glamorous. :D which is the point! :D

[@nightyonetwothree]

i worked on short 6-paged comics once and laying frames and pages were a pain, next time i'll ask them for a script. Storytelling isn't about me.

[@wolverinemarko28]

great thank you for this amazing video

[@shinyapple94]

What I would do to be able to draw like that. his crazy artist.

[@chri3105]

What is the refined artwork drawn on? Are those scaled down comic page templates sheets? Really curious Thanks for any answers

[@raymonderigaudon]

thanks for sharing

[@thecomicarchive]

+raymonde rigaudon you're welcome! :)

[@thecomicarchive]

Who is the real comicarchive?

[@faust40]

Anyone know what the book is on his desk next to his layouts? It loos like reference for poses.

[@saketkumar7]

faust40 The Illustrator's Figure Reference Manual

[@lvis11tj7]

I was just wondering if you were still available to help?

[@thecomicarchive]

Are you trying to contact Phil?

[@lvis11tj7]

Yes...I was looking for help in creating my graphic novel....storyboard is alright it is the artistic (drawing side) that I am struggling with

[@thecomicarchive]

lvis11tj7 Phil isn't associated with this youtube channel unfortunately. I think he's pretty active on twitter, that might be a better place to catch him. @Philjimeneznyc

[@lvis11tj7]

thank you very much for your prompt response

[@IvanMtl]

A great look into the thought process and actual working method of a talented comic book artist. Personally, I don't understand why anybody's sexual orientation would affect your appreciation of their work. I would love to have sat at a piano next to Freddie Mercury or Elton John as they describe how they go about writing a song. The same is true of any artist whose work I admire - gay or otherwise.

[@lenovo5656]

I just starting to draw marvel comics

[@PELVIS361]

hard stuff!

[@crissy2628]

WOOOOOOW

[@madmania5080]

cool stuff

[@lassolegenda]

@hajar9911 Yes he is.

[@Ztrigg]

I've been searching mad on youtube for a couple years now anything and everything sequential art. I have a couple doc's on Todd McFarlane and Jack Kirby saved to my fav list. Point being I think anyone who digs deep enough to this lvl of youtube is a little more serious and won't take something like a creators sexuality into consideration...but once again I scroll to the comments below before clicking post and the users prove me wrong, for shame dudes.

[@ChibiMisaki]

FFFFFIIIIRRRRSSSTT!!! you make it a messy but easy way i guess, so nice vid, but how did i get here? hmmm...

[@bruh......2005]

Damn 💞 ✨

[@mangaluver2010]

*clap clap* well said.^-^

[@Blastaar7]

wow, not that it matters, but i didn't even know that phil was gay. I'm glad to see that even professionals have "messy" layouts. I'm the only person who can probably understand my layouts.

[@lassolegenda]

@hajar9911 I don't think being racist or sexist has anything to do with it :D Homophobic maybe. But hey, it's an observation. I paid attention to his voice too when I watched these videos but it doesn't mean you're a jerk or prejudiced or something.

[@NBCtaurus1980]

Gimme 5 I give u one!!

[@NBCtaurus1980]

Nice videos..gimme 5 ..

[@josray2557]

how the hell does he have time to sit and fight with thumbnails and page flow? the book should already be done by the time he figures all that out...

[@CraigSmithII]

I didn't know he was gay,but that does not stop his talent

[@louisbennett7709]

Agreed. His Sexual preference is his problem. His artistic skills are pretty decent though.

[@victoraraoz75]

better said "Agreed. His sexual preference is his prerogative. His artistic..." ....you knuckle head

[@TheCBRat]

Your not the real comicarchive

[@hajar9911]

@lassolegenda i don't wanna be racist or sexist or what ever but i really wasn't able to continue watching the video because of his voice i really couldn't stand it

[@hajar9911]

@lassolegenda it's not much that i care about him being gay i mean it's his choice of life but the voice is just too irritating
