Reacting to Comics I Made When I Was a Teenager! 💀

Hello everyone! In this week's video I am reacting to my old comics! I made a majority of these in my early teens. Let's see how I improved at writing stories and creating art over the years!

I'd never show my old art online, it's so embarrassing! I always think people would judge me But you're really brave, you show your old comics to such a big audience. Besides, your old art isn't bad even compared to your new pictures even though you've grown so much in these years

[@starryskies113]

Cool

[@LittleNinjaJasmin]

Man, I didn’t realize it’s been years since you started. I’ve been here ever since your name was “How2DrawManga” You were my inspiration growing up, and was the reason why I loved drawing. The other tutorials was too complicated for my child mind, but you made it so much fun! I remember watching you around Elementary, and now I’m currently in the middle of University, and I’m still watching you! Remember, you have so many people supporting you, whether they may be from the start or just new, it doesn’t matter because we all love you equally.

[@ItsSilentMae]

"I was experimenting the idea of that not having a family being supportive" Somehow this had my attention for this has been my life with my family not so supportive to whatever art/drawings saying more hurtful things that made me stop to draw giving me so much downs n severe depression of making my family's expectations they made of me. I'm doing well now, just trying to enjoy what i have always loved to do ones more 💖

[@fropee6503]

I really enjoyed watching this video! It's always fun to look back at your old artworks and how much you've improved over the years :DD

I really want to see a video about your light novel! Writing a novel is such a different process to a comic, I'd love to see how you did it!

[@thatartsyunicorn]

I love looking at your comics (no matter how cringe some were) because you are so creative!! I wish I could come up wit as many ideas as you had.

[@jennameyers0909]

16:53 “Sparkly, magical stuuuuff” that had me cracking up 😂 also the silly comics made me chuckle, especially the socializing one! It’s so amazing to see how far you’ve come and how much your art has improved. Keep up the good work, Rebekah😊❤️

[@kk_thepanda1176]

Another thing to keep in mind is not to spend too much time planning. I always end up spending waaaaay too much time planning, and I end up losing the motivation I had. So its good to keep a balance. You can do some of the planning as you go. Also, this video is making me feel like making comics again, so thank you! ♡

[@Love2DrawManga]

This is very true! For some of my stories I would try to plan to much...so nothing would get done. 😅

[@otakumangastudios3617]

I personally am also trying to find a balance as well. I’ve always been a freehand artist, so I thought it was silly and stupid to make a sketch first if I’ve always just done freehand, I thought I could just freehand a comic and not write a script, because I thought to myself “well I know my story, can’t believe other people can’t bother remember their own story XD quotes but then, I actually started making comics It’s very gratuitous but it’s very rewarding, I’ve been on several hiatuses but during those hiatus is, I’ve come to the realization that, I in fact do need to write a script, as one of the things that made it so exhausting was the fact that I was trying to focus on my freehand drawing, would you have to focus extra hard because you’re free handing the drawing, and then also have to think about the story and I want my brain properly stimulated, but then it gets overstimulated, and then so I make the panels over complicated and the dialogue doesn’t make sense because I’m trying to make sure does human as possible but I’m thinking about too many things at once. Eventually realize that yes, you can keep the entire story inside your head and that is completely possible, It’s not so much about forgetting it or not remembering it, it’s more about remembering and retrieving too many of your ideas at once. It makes the process of drawing out your comic or manga a lot more streamlined if you have settled on the plot and wrote it down, so you can so great your brain power and where it’s going to at one time. I’m easily exhausted So while I can easily freehand a drawing for the sake of drawing, doing that for a manga page isn’t nearly as easy for me. This is because I need to conscientiously think about my story, my plans for it, may be being flexible and changing aspects of it, and also think about exactly how I want the drawings to look. Basically, I’m trying to keep track of two or three things at once and try to make it all aligned perfectly which is very complicated.

[@AshAshGacha]

i never plan, it means sometimes i forget my ideas but i have a note book that i write my ideas in so i dont need to plan

[@AnxiousRat]

The way your art style changes makes your characters look like they got older and more mature over the progress of the story :0 I love that fact omg! ( even tho the plot happens over a few months to a year, in my eyes they mature a lot)

This was perfect timing! I was literally looking back at my old art to see the progress I've made and how much I improved

[@feralfauna_]

Watching this made me realise that I'm now the age you were when you released "I Want To Be A Magical Girl", and I've been watching you since even before then! I remember when I won one of your milestone raffles and I shared some of my amateur comics (drawn in MS Paint) with you over email - this video is reminding me of all the mistakes I made haha ^^' Maybe I should try and finish a comic now like you did, too! ^u^

[@sarjanaojha2116]

This was nice watching you! You inspire me so much 💗💗 Please do talk about the making of "The Autumn Festival" .

[@lillyobrien8924]

Always look back on your old stuff when you get the feeling that you’re art is shabby. Then you know how much you improved ❤

[@rdbrooks9306]

Your old comics are so cute 😭 I love looking at old art it brings me so much happiness 🤣 Seeing it and it's flaws is funny but it's also great to see how far you've come when you compare it to what you do now! I remember reading MNDN at like Season1 and being so excited for the next ones now it's already Season3 they grew up so fast 😪

[@albertovinicio123]

My old comics were just gratuitous violence and anything that could result in fights. 😂 I think I just loved drawing fights. I think learning to draw ruined my fun in drawing comics.🤔 When I didn't know how to draw, I had a lot of fun imagining and drawing the story, the fights, the characters, the very funny scenes. Now that I know how to draw comics well and write stories, I'm terribly lazy just imagining all the work I would have 🤣

[@caramelu2525]

LMAOO "Sparkly magical sTuFfFfF~~~~"

[@owlmations]

This was funny 😂😂 I like the part where you read my next door neighbors. How you explained the characters in that moment was really funny 😂😂

[@devonteedwards2093]

Sometimes looking at old artwork is fun, sometimes it can get crazy

[@RedStarBoi416]

You've been improving your artwork a lot. That made me so happy!

[@just_tenshi1895]

Holy crap, that was a good one. I will say the main thing that stuck out to me mostly with your improvement is not only the art has improved but I've noticed that nearly every page had some form of dialogue like if a character was by themself they did talk to themselves a lot and describing what they were doing. But your comics now are a masterclass, nowadays when a scene is heavy there will be no dialogue sometimes and you get the scene hang which adds to the suspense or seriousness of the scene soooooo good!! Also can I say that 1. Your short comics like the 2 panel long ones are freaking hilarious lol like they made me genuinely laugh so it would be cool to see how you would do them now and 2. A video on your light novel process would be a great idea and I would absolutely love to hear it cuz I've tried comics, so light novels would be a fun process to learn :) 10:40 was like patient zero for MNDN lol But that's it if you read all this.... sorry lol but overall a really great video, I like these one where you show the process of a project while you just talk it's really nice!

[@Love2DrawManga]

[@miss73percent]

its really inspiring how much you've improved since these old comics. It makes me want to try making one of my own, which has always intimidated me. but this reminds me that i have to start from somewhere :)

[@SprinkleGirl]

The things that you teach here about comics are things I already knew and the only reason for that is that I used to make comics all the time and even sorta resently I think of story ideas and write scripts but I didn't plan it and it was a mess! Now I usually try to plan everything out!

[@jaymilliejaceellaandreese3792]

11:54 - 12:08 , a really good example is Haikyu, for example on how bland the colors turn out to be on the courts in the anime after season 4 1st part and how normal the colors look in the first 1-4 seasons of the anime, and how much the structures of the characters change in the manga

[@Crystalline_166]

I haven't watched the video yet but i already know it's going to be good and my oh my how much your art has changed you've improved so much and i wish to do the same your videos get me so modevated to draw keep up the good work becca 🙂💞

This was so fun to watch! I love looking at other people’s old work- you’ve improved so much! I didn’t even realize how much your webcomic style had improved, but it’s amazing!! Also, I really liked White Day. The story was super endearing! My Next Door Neighbors is one of my favorite webcomics, too!

[@Love2DrawManga]

Thank you so much!!

[@Havvs_]

I love your comics! I tend to try to draw lots of details, so much so that it takes me hours for one drawing. I am a traditional artist by heart, and I’ve been trying digital art. The mediums are so different that it’s shocking. I not only recently started digital art, but I’ve been studying anatomy and perspective. It all comes down to your common sense, and how you learn.

It was so nice seeing all these comics in one vid! I’ve been watching since like 2017-2018, so I know most of these! I loved the short mini comics and hearing the concepts behind your works. I really want to buy all your books, hopefully I will! I want to be a magical girl sounds super relatable! I have a story like it that I wrote when I was 12 that cringe it now, but I think it is cute. I can’t wait for the next episode of my next-door neighbours and your next video

I'd like to start a comic one day since I enjoy both writing short story's and drawing. It seems like a lot of work, but more importantly, a whole lot of fun! I'm 13 years old currently, but you can never start too early with these things!

[@otakumangastudios3617]

I totally feel you on your comment about self insert characters. I’ve noticed that I do that a lot too, although not in openly obvious way? I guess that’s kind of purposeful, for example, I have a story about a young man that I started writing when I was 16 and going through a lot of anxiety and depression and excruciating loneliness, and I wrote his character based off of that. The difference is though, he is male and his hobby is tinkering with technology, instead of drawing. I started doing art as a little kid as a means of expressing myself since I felt like words didn’t do it justice. No I just kind of do it for fun and also it’s currently the most comfortable thing for me personally careerwise. I also like to write stories , And while I am thankfully not nearly in the same place as I was when I first started writing that story when I was 16, I still plan to finish it and complete it because I figured somebody’s going to feel comforted reading a relatable story that has some abstract elements to it, as it’s also cyberpunk seemed too. I suppose you could say it’s cyberpunk slice of life, at least the first few chapters are

[@TheScottishGachaGirl]

I think your old comics are really cute!! They’re better than mine that’s for sure 🥲

[@mismiserables]

I made one comic when I was a kid. I remember I called it "the ford" and it was supposed to be some supernatural story. I was very inspired by my older friend who used to make mangas and an anime I used to watch (think it was naruto) lol I never finished it. It was hand drawn on a bunch of papers I stapled together. I regret throwing it away since it would be cool to look back at it now lol. I would love to make a comic again but I am slow at drawing It would be nice to see you redraw a part of these or something like that

[@Fangirlorian]

I recently brought out my old comics I had made as a teen and up and I cringed at my lack of story telling... but my kids loved it! They laughed and asked if they could keep reading them! Also I love 'my next door neighbors' and would love to own a physical copy...just throwing it out there...😉

[@gachatubergirl181]

Crazy enough, in october I had a comic that I made where this little girl gets nice and bad comments on her post, and the one at 8:20 reminded me of it o: You give me so much inspiration that I always feel the need to draw along whenever I watch your videos!

[@Ylaine_DeMarley]

@2:45 If I'm 11 now and I was born on 2011 and you were 15 during the time, I think that makes you around 26! I also love how you finished an entire page in the first comic because I never finish and it kinda sucks going: alright I'm done even though I'm not. You got this lore going through your brain but you can't make it come to life with drawing the action. @3:04 This is very relatable to most artists I believe. You make something that looks like squiggles but it's a story board only YOU can understand. @3:49 Did you predict my thoughts and current life, Love2DrawManga? 👀 @4:36 Unfortunately this is true because I did do this because I was trying to catch up to your comic making skills in My next door neighbors. I really love how you put effort in the comic to make it good quality even if it takes long

This makes me think about my comics too. I really wanted to be an author for children's books, and I have a comic called "Bunk the skunk" that I want to get published. The story's about the adventures of a skunk, and he has to deal with social pressure of having a skunk smell and everyone fearing that he will spray them. He lets hedgehog children stay with him until their parents come back, and he's really sweet! also I relate to the thing you said about being in your 20s and loving shows made for 7 year olds! I LOVE kids shows!

Hi I'm nine years old I have a hard time doing manga because not many people think kids can't draw like adults, but your videos helped me a lot, thank you for That.

[@otakumangastudios3617]

That’s OK! I first started drawing monger when I was your age! Trust me, the only way to progress is to have confidence in yourself! I know that’s not always easy, but just remember, look for the best parts of your artwork, and ignores peoples negative comments :-) The brain naturally wants to learn and improve its skills, so at least in my opinion it’s unhelpful to conscientiously look for problems in your artwork. I’m sorry that people have imposed adult standards on your artwork, usually it’s pretty impressive if a child is able to draw anything at all by most of society standards, so it’s unfortunate you’ve had to hear people say stuff to you
