Depending on what software you use, you can actually have 2 views on screen: 1. Zoomed out to the full page and 2. Zoomed in on what details you're working on. Illustrator has this option, and Blender's Grease Pencil function too. That way you don't have to constantly switch between views.
@ScottD3 жыл бұрын
Clip lets you do this, too, with the Navigator, but you get different levels of detail in different parts of your drawing by zooming in and out all the time. Inevitably, you'll spend more time on one part than another, and your drawing will look weird as a result. Hope that makes sense! :)

I've found that you need to take advice on comics with a light heart. People get silly with advice. My favorite for instance is, "Don't draw the speech bubbles and text boxes traditionally by hand." Why? If you can do it good enough? People are misusing art digitally like in your first advice point putting emphasis on background characters more than foreground characters. In my point, people are using digital art to imitate poorly drawn speech boxes and text bubbles like it's cool. Um no, I can do that by hand. I also letter fully traditionally by hand with out tools so I'm a big rebel and advocate for comic creating. A "pro" lookin at my work one time said, "you're doing everything wrong going against all the guidelines" not in a it looks bad sense but in a no-no sense, then he said, "but you do it very well" And that's when I broke away from that group and put even more effort into doing things the wrong way.

Bro whut- "skimping out" and fkn around w/ all kinds of over-simplified, janky backgrounds behind really nice foregrounds has been a core comics tradition since the invention of comics. People would even photocopy photographs and take that posterized b/w and slap the background in there, so many ways that works great and I thought your basic janky background looked DOPE!! I can't stand detail in backgrounds, abstract atmospheric perspective is cooler to me, check out Samurai Jack as the ultimate example of just using basic cut-outs & texture for backgrounds, looks amazing. Cheers :)
@ScottD8 ай бұрын
Yo! Yeah, there are times and places for simple backgrounds, and making shorthand backgrounds. BUT I think the point I'm trying (and perhaps failing) to make is that backgrounds and their detail change the way a reader interacts with a panel. More detail=slower reading. So, you can DEFINITELY control your reader's reading speed by having more or less detail, but if you're going to have a high detail background, really go for it! :)

Hiya Scott, it's sketchly5 from the instagrams. You told me to post my questions on here for you and I figured this was probably the best video to post them to. Right, I'm creating my first comic which is inspired by newspaper comic strips and silent films. So basically there's no dialogue, and the stories are told in traditional panels (Squares and rectangles). Rather than design a page with multiple panels and draw inside each of them, I customised each canvas to the shape of a square (1,000 x 1,000 px) and drew my art into them. My plan was to then import those panels - 6 per page - into a comic page. So far, so simple. Here come the questions... 1) Which of the borders on the comic page MUST I adhere to, and which can I ignore? 2) Trying to marry up the individual imported pictures, in terms of space between them, alignment, size, and placement on the page can be frustrating. Is there a way to create panels of a specific size which I can just import each image into directly? i.e. I'd like to create 6 panels on each page, to hold the 6 images, and they need to be correctly and evenly positioned. 3) (Probably the simplest question) A time saving question. If I have a character facing one direction and want to turn him around, is there a way to flip the image, rather than having to draw him again? My current (painstaking) method is to copy the character onto a new canvas, insert a symmetry ruler, draw over the original image, thus creating the mirror image on the other side of the symmetry ruler, then copy and pasting the mirror image back into the original work. Regret offering to help me yet? ;) Thank you, sir David
@ScottD4 жыл бұрын
Shoot! Sorry for taking so long to get back to you! 1) Just make sure everything is inside the "page" border and you should be fine. I really should make a video all about Safe Zone/Trim/Bleed so I can answer these kinds of questions. 2) This isn't really what CSP is best at, to be honest. I'd recommend a layout program like InDesign or maybe Affinity Publisher (although I haven't used that one myself) for something like this. In CSP, you could try to create a 2x3 panel grid with no borders and Copy/Paste your comic pages in each of the panels. Look up my video "How to Create and Edit Panel Borders in Clip Studio Paint" for more on how to, well, create and edit panel borders. 3) Edit > Transform > Flip Horizontal :)

Every time I tried to flip the image it was still facing the original direction in the thumbnail canvas. With Question 2, I'll try your programs you've suggested. The way I've managed to do it on CSP, eventually, was to go "View, Grid". Then "View, Grid / Ruler Settings", make the centre of the canvas the origin of the grid, & make the size of the grid squares 25.07mm. (There are 4 divisions - I don't think I touched that). This way I made all my comic panels the same size - 12x12 squares, & used the grid lines to ensure the panels were in-line with eachother. Then I used the figure ruler to draw a box around each panel, et voila! It's definitely a long winded way of doing it but it seems to work. Now for number 1 🙂. I've been a comic fan / geek forever - I understand the artsy fartsy side of it & I know there's a margin you steer clear of. But when presented with 3 margins, my head broke a bit 😵😆

That should probably be okay? Basically, what you have to do is think about your final file size. To get to 300 DPI, which is pretty much the minimum to print, you have to divide the inches size by 3. To go from 100 to 300 you have to multiply by 3, so (to keep the pixels the same) you have to do 25.5 divided by 3 (which is 8.5) and 35.01 divided by 3 (which is 11.67). So you've basically created a 8.5"x11.67" 300 DPI document. If you want to print your comic at (or smaller) than that size, great! You should be good go!

This is a question for any artist really when trying to learn anatomy specifically like just your drawings do you practice for like a year and then try to move on to something else involving anatomy? That is my current problem I have found time to practice but I do not know how long to stick on one thing before I move on to the next thanks
@ScottD3 жыл бұрын
Learning anatomy is a never-ending process, I think, that requires consistent upkeep. Like, I feel pretty comfortable with it, personally, but try to look up reference for a lot of poses, especially if I'm feeling uncomfortable. Many artists start their day with warmups from reference to keep their skills polished. I don't think there's a point where you can say, "Welp, I'm done learning how to draw hands! Nailed it!" It's just a constant stream of doing your best to get things down. Mix in the learning with the other work you're doing and you'll be fine. :)

great stuff sir. I have been working with CSP pro for a while now and I as it works fin. I am 9 pages into my own comic and although the work flow I have set up is easy,I keep hearing thing about EX that might save me some time. my two questions 1) would it be worth it to me to spend the extra 160 bucks for the upgrade or should I stick to what I know? 2) I have colored pages in CSP and in Photoshop In your opinion is it faster and cleaner if I stay in CSP or is exporting into Photoshop a better way to go? I do not have the cool actions in CSP like I do in PS but I'm afraid of things miss aliening when I go back to CSP
@ScottD4 жыл бұрын
So, I would say no, the upgrade isn't worth it if you've already started. EX is great for creating a page template document before you start and for animation, so if you've already got the template saved for yourself, you're fine. I use Pro on my iPad and don't miss any EX features, since I'm not an animator. Personally, I color in Photoshop usually, and finish everything there. I don't bring anything back into CSP once it goes to PS to avoid what you're talking about. If I need to do more inking work, I'll either re-import the inks from CSP or just do inking touchups in PS. I recently did some colors for a piece in CSP, though, and enjoyed it more than I thought I would, so that might be changing in the near future. But I'd recommend doing what you're comfortable with and what gets you the results you want. :)

Scott Drummond Thank you that’s what I wanted to hear. One last question about work flow. Lettering, do you do that before or after you color? I have been saving that up for last but not sure if that is the right choice or not. Thank you for all your tips and tricks and keep doing what your doing!
@ScottD4 жыл бұрын
@@darrenschlotman24 No worries! I do my lettering last, after colors. I always try to remember to block out areas in my layouts for where my lettering is going to go, so it's not crammed in there, but I usually wait until everything is finished before doing lettering. Usually potential clients want to see unlettered pages, so I try to make those look as good as possible, instead of phoning in areas under the lettering. Also, you might want to move lettering later, and that's harder to do if you letter too early. Hope that helps!

I am an amateur comic artist (and video maker). I appreciate the information you are providing. But please don't use jump cuts between sentences when you are talking to your viewers/audience. It is really annoying and hard to watch because of the jerkiness of the cuts. It is jarring on my eyes. Far too many vloggers on You Tube use this editing technique to eliminate speech and visual mistakes they make but it just makes thing worse, visually. As for the zooming when drawing digitally, I agree. I don't use zooming. Instead, I draw the eyes and other features like the nose and mouth larger, next to the blank face, select them, scale them down to correct size and then paste them into the face. That is just a method that works for me because it is sometimes hard for me to draw eyes in regular size in proportion to the face.

Your work is nice, and you're personable, but i had to stop after 8 minutes. A basic principle of instruction is "don't dwell on bad examples". Its really counterproductive to rip apart work without showing how to fix it. This was entirely bad work, and you talking about how bad it was. Students will remember the bad work, and thats about it. Show the fault, then show several better pieces, or better yet, that same bad piece fixed.

I took note of all the things you said. But I do like a little more sketchy feel (ref to what you said about backgrounds...). Like Mike Mignola. My definite house God together with Tardi and Enki Bilal. I know, I am very pretentious! Enki Bilal is hardly sketchy though...

Hi! What do you think about using the realistic 3d aesthetics for comics? Thanks!
@ScottD2 жыл бұрын
This is a good question. I think it all entirely depends on the tone of the comic and if the artist can carry that look through all aspects of the book. So, like a super serious book can absolutely have a realistic look, but maybe a fun/goofy/for-kids book might not benefit from having photo realistic backgrounds of buildings, etc. This isn't a hard and fast rule, mind you, but really just about what's best for telling the story you want to tell. Likewise, if you have awesome 3D rendered backgrounds, but aren't drawing realistic-looking people, there can be a big disconnect. Almost like you took a shortcut with the 3D stuff, but then didn't translate it into *your style* and left it as-is. There's nothing wrong with getting a 3D background and using it as reference/tracing it to fit your layout, but if you're just pasting a screenshot in there and calling it good, I think that's a different story. You want the book to feel cohesive, and that's what it's about. So yeah, if you want a 3D look, make sure everything is looking up to snuff with that. Otherwise, if you're wanting something more cartoony, have the backgrounds reflect that aesthetic, too. All, my humble opinion, of course. :)
