It seems it is an often overlooked/ignored fact that each and every page of a comic, particularly done this way, is a true work of art in and of itself. People who aren't into comics can easily dismiss it as simply a "comic", not seeing the time and artistry that goes into every line of every page. Beautiful work, and thank you for showing us through the looking glass what it takes to be a professional artist in this genre.

@SiyaOum Год назад

Thank you so much for this sentiment. I myself love collecting interior art from my colleagues. A beauty of blood, sweat, and tears.

It's commercial, but all art is commercial, so it can all be appreciated on the same level

It's crazy seeing the artwork materialize in front of your eyes. I knew inkers added a lot to the final product but seeing it transform pencils is something else.

It's so good to see a left handed person draw... Noting I'm left handed too so seeing this confirms a lot of little subtle things I do too. I've stumbled across similar technique (hey I'm not entirely mad... good to know). Your comments about getting the energy needed to get a flow started is so familiar. The muse doesn't speak twice so grabbing inspiration when it arrives and not letting go is kind of a central effort, especially in the early hours. My difference is that I always start with the faces (especially the eyes) since they hold the emphasis and if I mess them up early, I get the chance to start over as many times as it takes without wasting a lot of time... the rest kind of flows and mistakes are less obvious. Thanks for this... good video.

@SiyaOum Год назад

Our process is so personal. That's why I try not to give advice out without saying, "This is what I do, my approach." Otherwise it seems like I believe everyone should approach creating, the same way. Thank you for your message! So glad I made a fellow south paw happy haha.

@uknowwho4497 Год назад

I tried to make my own comic back in 2008, but I was young and wanted to complete 10 pages in one day. 😅 I ended up crying and hating myself till 2020. Nowadays I feel like I'm sick every single day (not something physical) so I don't even try anymore. My mind keeps telling me: 'Hey you are already 29 almost 30. You are too old do to things that take too long to complete. You gonna die before it is even done'. Watching you while drawing was so beautiful that I cried. 💕

@rec.artanddata 10 месяцев назад

I like your approach of starting where you think you're going to pick up the most momentum. It's a good idea to lean on what you're good at because a sense of confidence is often the one thing needed to get past obstacles (or at least this is what I've found). Confidence seems to be the key determining element for the level of skill you will be able to achieve at any point on the page. You can be uninspired and not enjoying yourself at all and still produce master work if you are confident enough in your abilities. But being inspired by following what excites you in a work of art can also take you very far (as you mentioned).

@SiyaOum 10 месяцев назад

Oh, very well put! The process has to be sustainable, otherwise all the joy in creating art dissipates.

@mentalcog2187 Год назад

Exceptional work, methods and love your approach. Not everyone understands the start of each day's work in the art world. Sometimes deadlines, work loads and daily grinds can dull your passion "at times." Very true to say the first ten or fifteen minutes to get things flowing and hit a groove is part of the process. Time slips away when that happens and enjoyment begins to takes over. Sometimes, I felt my spirit take flight in those moments,.. looking back. Just stumbled on this vid and so very glad I clicked. Loved listening as much as watching. Thank you for sharing these moments. Meant a lot.

@artboymoy Год назад

In school I used to make the thumbs, then to layout, then blow it up to size, then lightbox and then pencil. But when working on the monthly book, I pretty much went from thumbs to laying it out directly on the board and finishing the pencils. Generally I started in the upper left down to lower right. Just so I didn't smear the pencils a lot.

I used to spend hours laying down and carving screentone to try to get that classic manga look.
