Manga | Comic Tools And Art Supplies YOU SHOULD HAVE 

0.5 mechanical pencil, micron 0.3 and 0.8, small and medium sharpie, brush pen, scanner, photoshop is all you truly need

I draw manga all the time but since I'm only 13 I literally just use a standard school pencil, printer paper, and a plastic ruler. Edit: I now have a drawing tablet and I do animation, 17 now :))

At the end of the day, you don't need all these tools, in fact, it's more about the user and less about the tool. Use what you are comfortable with. These are just tool I think you should have for best practice just in case.

When you realize Kohei Horokoshi, The Guy who made My Hero Academia, Uses Photoshop.

I anit trying to hate but I be knowing ppl who can't draw and be having copic markers I be salty as f

where my fellow broke artists at

Did you just say PIZZA at the end? XD if so - I totally agree that is super important! A hungry artist can not work well :P

I'm an Vietnamese and those tools and supplies is very expensive and super hard to find,and the prices just breaks my heart😭

My supplies: • mechanical pencils • staedtler black soft eraser • -my one pilot gel ink pen- it died and I won't be getting one soon • pilot pens • clear plastic ruler • printer paper I'm running low on • correction fluid

I hope I'm not the only one who was considering just scanning drawings on my printer xD

Not all people have the money to buy copic markers as a matter a fact they're like a life time investment so I recommend using cheaper alchohol based markers such as spectrum noir, promarkers, prismscolors, finecolors, and touch twins

am i the only one who still trying to sketch manga but watch this so I'm prepare when i know how to draw/sketch manga in the future. keep on going you can do it just believe that you can do it

I'm really good at drawing, I've been drawing since childhood, but I always draw with mechanical pencils. I went through a pencil and inking phase when I was younger, but I was never too good at tracing over my work. I always wanted to be a basketball player, and I was never good enough to actually consider it as a career (don't get me wrong I can still hoop I WILL FUCK UP ANYBODY HERE IN BASKETBALL STRAIGHT UP 😤😤😤) As of now, I'm an undergraduate in college, in a Liberal Arts College majoring in chem, I'm aiming at being a doctor or a orthopedic surgeon for sports medicine, but I wish that I just focused on drawing. After watching multiple animes, and reading the mangas of Attack on Titan and Demon Slayer (these mangas are still in progress), I've been motivated to work towarda creating a story as my second job, because I'm more motivated about it than my actual medical career or getting my M.D. During this Spring 2020 Quarantine, and ever since summer 2019, I've been drawing like crazy. I finished 3 drawing books and just ordered a new one, and I actually want and hope to create a manga. These are just sketches and gathering my thoughts, but I've actually been researching what makes a great story and I've started writing down my story as well. I hope one day I can truly release a manga that will eventually be depicted as an Anime. TV shows impact children, teenagers, young and old, and are ways to spread messages and true meanings and deep principles about the world. Almost all stories are based on one principal moral, or are made to prove something. Telling a story is like telling a joke. It's just knowing alm the pieces of the joke, and putting it together slowly from the base up until the audience gets the joke.

*cries in art* I’m too broke

I have so much supplies I need to buy, but people call me weird for trying to be a police officer while I'm trying to work on my comic too 😂 I just see art as a hobby, but also another one of my passions.

"I only have the tools that I need, that I use" proceeds to title video tools you should have

I just got deleter paper a few weeks ago and I'm loving it its great for markers holds ink well doesn't bleed.

I also draw comics and things like that, but I'm only 13, so the only good supplies that I have are the sakura pens. Everything else is like cheap school supplies.

Best tools for drawing manga: paper pencil

19:27 "these are Alcoholic based markers"

Are you psychic?! This is literally what I was thinking of...

Hey Buddy, you inspire me to keep drawing even when I don't think my work is good enough. Also to experiment with different styles to find out what works for me. Thank you and keep it up.

I want to get into drawing as I have to much free time now that I started a new job and i love creating things

well im poor af shit

I watched a video on skillshare about inking with a brush and the instructor made a suggestion on how to fix mistakes by take a box cutter or an exacto knife and scrapping the ink away. That only really works if you're using a thick paper though.

im 11 yrs old and every year i buy some copic markers and i hate it when other artist say that i dont deserve it dont get me wrong im always open to critisim but when people say stuff like that i feel unmotivated😥

THIS IS THE VIDEO I NEEDED! I LOVE YOU!

it's been a while since you made a video about digital toning, digital tips and tricks ,i'm sure i'm not the only one who would like to see those types of videos again, thank u.

I've been doing comics for a couple of years now, and I'm finally doing one that will be a big project, thanks for this video itll help me

for those who don't have/want/like the 0.5 lead, using lead holders for sketching is okay since they won't show up in print. using 0.9 lead for very thick lines and 0.7 for light sketching can also be used as an alternative.

thank you so much for this vid :) it helped explain a lot abut tools. i used to use only pencils and normal pens to draw but i now use micron and pen liners as well. its a wonderful vid to help beginners move forward in what supplies they will need after pencils.

Can you tell me how long it takes for you to complete a manga page? Do you use reference while creating a manga page?

Personally I prefer Copic Multiliners more than Sakura Microns I like that they have smaller sizes

I love apple black and want to know how to become a manga artist like you

PSA: ohuhu alcohol markers are good alternatives to copics and you can get them on amazon

All artists need to look up the term “tool box fallacy”. It has held me back more then anything

I can't draw afford all these materials I'm only 13 helppppppppp :(((((((((((((((((

Copic markers are so expensive though.. say goodbye to dreams of getting the biggest set 😂

Hey I wanna be a mangaka and my dream is to work for shounen jump!!! Got any tips? I'm currently Drawing a manga to practice and I try to use Jojo's art style

funny you mentioned the lightbox, I just crafted one yesterday, and it turned out really great! have been watching you for a long time now, and always wondered why you don't use a lightbox?

Copics are overpriced as HELL!

did you go to an art school? how did you learn to make money off your art and such? @Whyt Manga

I've been watching a lot of videos like this, it's great 😀

One thing I definitely learn in this video, is that I have the freedom to do whatever I want

I love your videos, but I don't want to draw a comic/manga. I want to be a cartoon animator. And even though i'm 13, I've wanted to be an animator (or illustrator) since i was about 5 or 6.

I love your work! Your videos have helped me immensely improve my artwork and I just bought Apple black! I can’t wait to read it! Thank you again!

So how much does this cost? Cause I REALLY WANNA be like you, drawing is my passion but since i saw youtube videos with draw supplies I quit with the drawing because I really want these tools to but... My family and I are not really that rich 🤦🏽‍♀️

E11 is the best skin tone marker for me

this is a lot of help

so amazing thanks for the info!!!

What I use is -Standard mechanical pencil I dont know what size led -deleter paper -copic ciao 36 e -copic sketch 6 skin tones set

How do you change pencil color to blue on the computer?

1st. I am poor and 2.nd I need to get better cause now I suck. :/ maybe next time but for now tablet and paper _ some markers is enough. I dont even expect myself to get to the "PRO" lvl even after dekades. so :/ why bother

thank you because i have started writing and drawing my own berserk- like fantasy manga also speedball calligraphy set with cartridges are wonderful for dark and bold fine lines

Cool video and new sub!! But I am poor XD

Thanks whyt! I have most of tbe stuff you mentioned but those copic markers would utterly destroy my wallet right now lol. been interested in the G-Pen and those types of pens in general. On a side note what type of computer do you reccomend for digital stuff or what do you have? been looking for a computer good for a decent pad because my current computeer is not compatible with them. (love apple black although my copy got printed upside down *which actually is kinda cool*)

What are the most basic things i should consider buying except paper, pencils, and erasers. Also what will they cost and where can i find them?

This helped alot! I'm in the process of making a manga comic, so I'll be sure to get some of these materials! Preciate it! :)

I have a starwars pad that lights up, THANK GOD FOR THE RANDOM STARWARS CHRISTMAS FLOOD!! I use a sharpie marker and a drawing pencil. I don't trace with marker because I can't really make it look the same or as good as a pencil. I have all colors of sharpie including the rare 80s markers. I have fine tip and super fine, chisel tip pretty much all tips.

I use a chubby pencil from god knows where and the back of some test papers I used back in college 3 years ago.

One thing I saw that was missing, is if you're using a dip pen, have some dip pen/nib cleaner. There's specialized dip pen cleaner out there, but if you're tight on money, I suggest using 99% isopropyl alcohol, it works fine and evaporates quick so it doesn't effect the nib at all as long as you wipe it off.

So helpful to here this form an experienced person who has done this for a wile your so helpful thanks

I have a mix of Azure and Prismacolor markers. I'm not quite brave enough to buy Copics yet.

The first and most important material you need: Pizza ^ ^

All I did was draw and use a ruler to put my own guide lines I don't write I print I draw And I love it That's all I do I use imagination Other than $ Money I don't need that I just use paper a pencil an eraser Ruler a stapler Sharpener And a computer for words Plus I'm only Twelve turning thirteen in 10 days so .... Yea I started draw anime 3-4 years ago I started off with short easy videos Than I started using my thoughts Now I automatically know what and how to draw I explore what I have Actually I don't even think when I draw I just remember putting my pencil on the paper and 10 minutes later I'm done Also I'm working on a story at school I have 789 pages done started 2016 march 23 Well that's all Bye Also have a nice day or night 🙋

Hey what about those use a pad to draw is that still good enough? Because I honestly digitally drawing felt alot smoother for me once I started. At first was like "Oh hell no, I can't do this! Nuh uh! Nope!" Then after 1 in half week later, I couldn't stop drawing. In fact, I seriously kid you not, drawing digitally made my traditional drawings feel so much better! I was freaking the hell out about how much my art style changed because of one week! Mostly thanks to WhytManga for the tips. But besides that I hope that its still okay to draw manga even though its digitally.

Any chance you can do a tutorial using screen tone (either the real deal or with Copics)? I feel like that would be a good video to learn for those who do everything old school without using a GNU to do all the work

There is even pigma graphic 1,2 and 3 tips for even thicker lines.

I can't use brush pens/markers for character inking. It's too wobbly. That's more for effects and solid black areas

Thank god he made this

Great! Now I want to go to the national bookstore!!!

I draw almost like Oda Sensei

Before the video i don't know what should use in manga

Thanks this really helps could you make a video about cheap but good comic supplies

Fuck, I think YT is having a fart, but it says this was released on Mar 28, 2017.

Sadly I use crayola and crazy art color pencils and some shading pencils it’s very hard wish I had copic markers

Me with my cardstock and sharpie 😮

Sorry to say but you should improve your placement of the video means the placement which you're using is not proper to see all the material...

Your videos are so helpful :) and inspiring I'm developing my drawing skills and, own manga slowly which is my dream thanks for your help !!!

The tools i use in my own manga is just a mongol pencil,Eraser,BondPaper, Sharpener,Ruler🙂

Why do I feel like autodesk sketchbook is just the digital version of his setup he has copic markers and everythingggggg

Thanks Whyt this is great!

I would like some copiic markers but they r so expensive! 😩

I've always had issues with my MICRON pens drying out, even though i keep all caps on when not using them. do they just normally dry out easily or is there a storage trick?

I'm getting an art desk super soon and so I'm gonna get a bunch of art things so I don't have to hopefully go to the store once or twice every week to get something so basically after I get my art desk I'll hopefully go on an art shopping spree lol. Also, people make fun of me for doing art because Im a girl and think an gender can do art or whatever they want. (Hopefully my art desk will be baby blue or lavender with my easel on the side.

Yo, can I take those blue leads off your hands?

All I have is a pencil, eraser, printing paper, cheap color pencils, sister’s Prismacolor markers ( I doubt that she gonna let me use it) and cheap mechanical pencil.

Watching your videos I feel like my face is in everything, put the camera a little bit further...

thank advice bro, respected 😎

Well the place I live don't sell dip pens nor those kind of art supplies 0-o ! I only use pointed brush and black ink Instead of markers/copics I use water colours 😂😭 Thank you for making a new videos :D

Yo apple black is the best manga I ever seen

What if your broke

5:56 Is he saying 'you cannot have freedom with them'? Also, the music is pretty suspicious... 13:21 Wow! I love that drawing. It looks awesome! :D

Such a neat channel. Thanks!

Do you still think it's profitable to make art/comics on paper (traditional) or is it time for me to switch to digital art?

Im that one cheap person who reuses old micanical pencils, a pen, sharpie, a sucky eraser, and cheap water color sets cause im to broke to buy actual copics, so I use artist loft markers instead

Him:microns and copics Me: ultra fine point sharpies and faber castel pens

Tbh I can draw anime perfectly fine and all I use is 0.5 mechanical drawing pencils, Ohuhu markers, Micro pens, and a regular school pencil

I have the anniversary set as well as the 72 and the copic little but the Originals do you have a brush tip but they don't have a chizzled they have that Small hard one if you know what I'm talking about

your videos are really helpful :3
