The FASTEST Process for Making COMICS in Procreate on the iPad!

[@owlyume8803]

There’s now a text option in Procreate :)

[@SuperClayden]

ALEXA BECK how do you get to it, it’s difficult for me

[@tashiabuccioni5444]

All you do is go to wrench and “ADD TEXT” , :)

[@Idunnoanymore61]

Yay

[@Choctashotta]

If there not stop being lazy and draw the words

[@Catamazed]

@@Choctashottait’s not lazy to want to do things quicker, and some peoples handwriting sucks

LOL I spent forever drawing a Steve Ditko homage for the thumbnail, then KZbin bugged it in the upload. Hopefully you saw a 60's Parcel on your way here, and not a random frame from the middle of the video!

[@melintham3135]

I personally avoid any art tutorials simply because i get confused half way and find it hard to keep up but this is by far the best tysm for making this and now I shall make comics:D

[@armandoquinones3990]

You right, to much blablabla.

[@victormorgado5318]

@@armandoquinones3990 Too much and too fast, but the real help would be if the people creating the tutorials would create instead an on line school or academy teaching what they teach here in less than 7 minutes, but teach it in a fair real time of whatever times it takes to learn it, like that people are truly encourage to continue creating comics instead of quitting

[@ronaldgaskin3rd]

And yet here you are...... in the comments of a tutorial video xD

[@gadsdad]

BTW, I would really appreciate more on making comics in Procreate.

[@victormorgado5318]

[@Jonas_Fox]

Wow. That was intense! I'd love to see a full page done in time lapse with voiceover or text. Are you drawing your idea first or do you have a story outline before you put ink to paper? Love your teaching style.

Thanks alot for the tips, I have the newest version 1.7 of Procreate and with your tips it fits perfectly with my workflow!!!

Finally simple to understand instructional videos.Thank you! More comics in Procreate on the ipad Pro please!

[@luisd7632]

Text can be done in affinity designer ($20 only!!) on the pro and you can install fonts too. AD can do a lot of what Illustrator can do. I am just learning both AD & Procreate so I like using both. So no need to go back to Photoshop just yet. I am amazed at the tools available on the Pro and so cheap. Affinity's answer to Photoshop (Affinity Photo?) is also $20 but I haven't looked into it yet.

[@jdfleblanc]

Super helpful. Been trying to develop a workflow doing comic pages in Procreate. Thank you!

[@letsgoscoutside4910]

Ohhhh my gosh thank you, thank you, thank you! I've been using Clip Studio but I am so over the iPad version it just isn't optimized very well and everything takes twice as long as it needs to compared to Procreate. Appreciate the video!

[@Ott0vonBismarck]

Can you please make an updated version of this video!!! Still love this one :)

[@diannebaker6409]

i agree, tried following everything that he did but its like nothing is working.

[@SamRykerTV]

Dianne Baker samw here. The problem is the clipping mask on my lineart makes the lines semi transparent. Its not great

[@spacewhaler]

Can’t wait to read the new comic my boi!

Can't wait to put it out there!!! Thanks Space Whale

[@fesolinii]

[@MegaMusicMuse]

what pens and brushes do you use?

[@BaroqueAndMSTie3000]

Awesome tips! Learned some things about setting up panels I haven’t tried yet 👍👍

[@zoekoops]

Which brush do you use for sketching & which one for inking?

[@discoverufatimak]

I love how simple and to the point your explanation is. I've been using your previous video (the photoshop one) and it has been a tremendous help especially as I am new to digital art. I was wondering if you would be able to make a video on the fastest way to make comics on an android (I have the samsung galaxy tab s3) and don't have access to procreate. I really want to be able to draw on the go on my samsung tablet.

[@Doodlesdoo]

Will this work on the iPad 7th gen?

[@Hollow99-g4l]

Thanks so much ! I rlly wanted to make a sonic comic !

[@dragon_nova_luna]

great video. there's also medibang for making comics, and it has comic specific text. not as great as procreate, but decent for comics.

[@OLFiArt]

Just beggining with procreate for comics. it's very useful, thanx 🙏

[@mihaelkeehl7975]

Can anyone break down what he’s doing at about 3:58? When he says he’s adjusting the opacity of his line art layer? I would love to learn that!

What brushes did you use? Like for the Line art and the Storyboard rough sketch

Oh this is so dope I just practiced this you are awesome lol I like drawing on my ipad way better then anything else lol

[@Blazeifyy]

which bruch are u using for the thumbnails

[@vivistevannie5339]

So helpful bruh.. More vid for make gradation, shading or comic background on ipad will be more interested I think

[@rainpooper7088]

Can’t remember if you‘ve done anything like that already, but I‘m kind of having trouble with the tools at times. Like, when you first start the app, there isn’t even a regular brush that just gives you a fully colored dot if you tap it onto the canvas, they’re expecting you to paint like you would with an actual literal brush and paint which is not my intention. I ended up solving that one by taking a photo with my iPad‘s camera covered and installing the black photo as a brush, but I can’t help but wonder if there are any more brushes and particularly ink tools(I always mess up the lines to the point where the bucket tool doesn’t work properly, though that’s likely my own fault as well) that I should absolutely customize somehow because the regular version might not suffice in the long run. I mean, this is the program that doesn’t have a text tool after all.

[@CharacterDesignForge]

Absolutely! There’s a ton you can do with brushes and custom brushes. I’d love to make a video devoted to them!

[@tomarnold8417]

This was helpful but you went fast. How did you toggle your layers?

[@odistabettor]

Thanks for making this! Are you able to just drag the color onto the line art/ink layer to color the outline?

[@CharacterDesignForge]

Yep! Best practice is to nest a clipping layer on top of the lineart and dragging it on

[@missmelisart4474]

Hey brooks! This was super helpful! Our drawing style and way of working is very similar too so all of your tips really help out! Any tips on inking brushes in procreate? I’m having a reeeeally hard time finding a brush or tool setting that makes lines like you are demoing that have a decent taper like a G pen in clip studio or just a basic brush in photoshop.

[@yokojr4790]

It doesn't look like a standard brush. If you slow down the video it says "Tara's oval ink" and it is imported. I typed in "tara's oval ink procreate" into google and the first link it to the gumroad website where you can buy the brushes from DizzyTara.

[@mattdoesstuff8987]

I have no idea what's going on, but it looks cool.

[@mujgan8477]

Great video. What brush are you using for your inking stage?

[@CharacterDesignForge]

Thanks! Tara’s Oval Ink from DizzyTara

[@MrCktanjames]

Hi , wonderful tutorial! Just what I need to do my own comic on ipad. I'm just confused on one part- At 3:42 - you drew a red line outside the panel to close up the gap and then you deleted it after the color is filled . How or which layer did you draw that in- since you've clip the layers- how come you can still draw "out of the clipping area"? tks

[@CharacterDesignForge]

That red line was actually just a representation i edited in later of how i looped the black lines together outside of the boundary. Even though they arent visible on screen, they still exist!

[@merakilous]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS VIDEO 😭💖

[@CharacterDesignForge]

youre very welcome!

[@SlickEvan]

Why do you make the canvas size so big? New to digital comics, working on a comic for a commission and for future comics.

[@pidgeybludgeon4208]

Hi! Super late comment but I have a question. What program did you import text from? And what font is it that you used? It looks great.

[@CharacterDesignForge]

I believe Photoshop, but text has been native in Procreate for years now!

[@asiarobinson9167]

Can I ask you something? 1. How do you make the lines of the panel so good? 2. How can I make my own comic like yours? 3. Do I use animation assist? 4. How do you get a page layout/sketch for a comic? 5. What kind of brush do you use for the drawing? ‘Cause my brush is pixel instead of straight. 6. Do you get the text from Photoshop? ​@@CharacterDesignForge

I’m going to try this lol

[@petalandposeboudoir]

[@MihaiStoian1]

Thank you!

[@mechaman116]

3:15 what brush did you use for perfect tracing

[@CharacterDesignForge]

The same brush but it’s ink version, but also just lots of practice with line control :)

[@Michael9635]

Hi Brookes! Thanks so much for making this video, it’s definitely gonna help me out a bunch. I was wondering, is there any way to make a white outline on procreate?

[@CharacterDesignForge]

Thank you, Michael! At the moment, there isn't a stroke equivalent to Photoshop, no. However, you can always make quick shapes if it's simple, you can duplicate, turn white, and size up or offset. Considering they recently added selection feathering, I think an official version is coming down the pike!

[@misssincere5762]

This is awesome!!!!

[@silentknightx5055]

I'm very confused on the lasso part. How are you able to remove those diagonal selections like you did for the top two panels on the right?

[@CharacterDesignForge]

Yeah so the lasso tool if you just tap the screen will do straight lines… so im starting at the bottom left and tapping a diagonal rectangle. Does that make sense?

[@silentknightx5055]

@@CharacterDesignForge yep! The problem comes when I try to remove it from the screen. It seems to just remove the lines that I made and not all the stuff within the triangle.

[@BabyblueJ3]

This is a useful video but I was wondering I want to make a comic for webtoon but I also want to make it so it could be also printable for a book . Would this process video would be ok for that too?

[@goncharov000]

[@AGHero96]

Question does you IPad over time battery keep getting lower and lower the longer you use your iPad to draw comic?

I think overtime, yeah the full charge does a little less, it's just the lifespan of the battery.

I learned about the smash bros method here I knew this was this case but I've never used it to my advantage. Same with the straighten line tool I always do that on accident lol!

You can adjust the amount of milliseconds before the quickline engages, so that you aren’t accidentally doing it as often!
