How to turn a photo into a manga background | Visual Storytelling with Olschi Episode 27 

I'm glad the video was helpful ^^ It's not always easy to find the right techniques when you teach yourself how to draw.

Thank you so much for watching. Such nice words!!!

I also used to think it's cheating. But now I view the comic/manga as the most important thing. So if reference benefits our storytelling we should use it.

Thank you so much for watching!

Yes! I recently found an episode on NHK world. Maybe they have the other episodes there too. That's awesome. There's something special about a sketchbook that you fill in while visiting different places. Sounds like you're going to have a lot of fun :)

Dailymotion has a few of the older Manben episodes, and a few of the newer ones (Manben Neo). A user uploaded on YT awhile back but I dont find that the subtitles are as good compared to Dailymotion. I think a video comparing the current styles of manga/comics would be interesting. Manga has definitely overtaken standard American comics (Marvel/DC) in popularity in recent years, and I can only assume that is the same in Europe. However, beyond 2000 AD and Humanoids (publishers) I cannot think of current European comics that are trying to compete. Could be interesting? Or comparing stylistic differences like pacing? Either way, I'll have to set a reminder for monthly KoFi support! Thanks again 🤙

@@othermike @Mike yes, luckily on Dailymotion you can still find the episode. At least for now xD guess in the end it's probably still illegal. But that's the problem with lots of Japanese programs. There are impossible to watch legally outside of Japan. That kind of video would definitely be interesting. But I would need to do a lot of research as it's almost a whole documentary xD I definitely want to talk more about the German market. Thank you for you support. I really appreciate it!

Yes! This way I can make sure you come back, haha!!!

@@olschis_art perfect 😁🥰

Thank you!

I guess the Isano method is more advanced. Thank you 😊

Haha Hello fellow Hamburger!

Vielen lieben Dank!

@@olschis_art Hast du dir wirklich verdient! 🙂

Happy to hear that! Thank you for watching!

Ja, kannst ja vllt mit einem einfachen Bild anfangen 😊 Das ist ein Mikrofon ja. Ich hätte es zwar an dem Tag nicht gebraucht aber ich bin immer zu faul, um es abzumachen xD

Das nehme ich als Kompliment an xD Melancholische Stimmung war zwar nicht mein Ziel aber ich kann mir vorstellen, warum es einem so vorkommt. Und Jiro Taniguchi is ein großes Vorbild von mir. Vllt wurde ich unbewusst beeinflusst.

@@olschis_art Das solltest du unbedingt irgendwann mal versuchen in einem Zweiseiter vll so zu zeichnen wie Taniguchi. Ich meine so selbstreflektierend und so, das wär bestimmt der Hammer! :D

@@nachtgoblin Eins einer Lebensziele ist einen Slice of Life Manga, Taniguchi style zu schaffen. Dafür fehlt mir noch die Lebenserfahrung aber eines Tages mache ich es.

@@olschis_art yay! cant wait for it! :D

Bei Minute 6:02

@@MsMenja Hey! Dafür braucht man keinen Tutorial. Es ist ganz simpel. Man muss nur die Shift Taste drücken, dann kannst du von dem angesetzten Punkt aus eine Linie ziehen. Also einen Punkt zeichnen und dann Shift drücken.

Yes, i didnt realize my camera did that (it didn't show up on the screen like that). I'll see what I can change about the settings to avoid that in the future. My equipment is pretty basic as I cannot afford anything better 😅

@@olschis_art No worries about the equipment. If your camera doesn't offer built in stabilization you should be able to fix that in video editing as well. Video stabilization should reduce the shakiness of the filmed clips by a lot. In premiere the effect is called warp stabilizer.

@@fabian-xp3bf i Think i tried it with Davinci Resolve once but i cannot remember what the results were. Some programs make it look really weird when you stabilize the picture.

Manben. I think there is a page now where all of the episodes of the documentary are posted.

Put a dot where you want the line to start and then simply push the shift button. Then you can draw a straight line :)

It's a surface pro 5.

Thank you so much!!! I'm r3ally grad to hear that ❤️

What is MW3?

@olschis_art it's a video game from the mid 2010's. Call of Duty: Mondern Warfare 3.

@@Strong_the_Panda ahaha okay, that's not quite my vibe but I can see it 😂

@@olschis_art lmao 🤣. I completely understand.

As I said in the video, there are ways of turning photos into manga backgrounds with just one klick. But in my opinion those do not look good and you can see it was a photo originally. There are just no easy ways to create good quality manga backgrounds. Even if artists use things like 3d backgrounds, usually they have to apply different effects and filters to make the backgrounds look good. Not really sure what you expected from the tutorial.

That's not correct. He would not have the results he has by doing just that. You probably have seen the documentary as well, right?
