1 00:00:00,030 --> 00:00:08,490 all right so let's talk about comics and 2 00:00:03,419 --> 00:00:11,669 more specifically how to do the comics 3 00:00:08,490 --> 00:00:15,059 so you don't look like an amateur so 4 00:00:11,669 --> 00:00:17,070 there are a few things to keep in mind 5 00:00:15,058 --> 00:00:19,649 I'm actually gonna just kind of pass 6 00:00:17,070 --> 00:00:23,760 through some mangas mangoes 7 00:00:19,649 --> 00:00:25,559 I actually feel that a lot of Japanese 8 00:00:23,760 --> 00:00:28,080 artists tend to be better with their 9 00:00:25,559 --> 00:00:30,509 composition and with their consistency 10 00:00:28,079 --> 00:00:36,449 and then American comics not quite sure 11 00:00:30,510 --> 00:00:41,189 why because the heavier daily cycle will 12 00:00:36,450 --> 00:00:42,510 go through or whatever the deal is but I 13 00:00:41,189 --> 00:00:44,460 feel that there's a they're pretty 14 00:00:42,509 --> 00:00:46,349 consistent across the board so I'll just 15 00:00:44,460 --> 00:00:49,378 I'm just going to cover some some points 16 00:00:46,350 --> 00:00:52,590 that you're gonna see and then and then 17 00:00:49,378 --> 00:01:00,328 you're gonna go ah so the first thing to 18 00:00:52,590 --> 00:01:04,290 note with mangoes first thing of course 19 00:01:00,329 --> 00:01:06,689 on top of that is right-to-left for 20 00:01:04,290 --> 00:01:09,299 these so don't don't be worried don't 21 00:01:06,688 --> 00:01:11,819 try to leave these left right so as you 22 00:01:09,299 --> 00:01:13,830 know if you're making a manga or a comic 23 00:01:11,819 --> 00:01:18,389 book or whatever the hell you are 24 00:01:13,829 --> 00:01:24,359 reading like this 25 00:01:18,390 --> 00:01:28,019 right if if you're reading a comic book 26 00:01:24,359 --> 00:01:30,150 it's always either left to right right 27 00:01:28,019 --> 00:01:33,090 to left but you're always going across 28 00:01:30,150 --> 00:01:36,990 and then when there's a ball you go down 29 00:01:33,090 --> 00:01:42,180 across town you read down this and then 30 00:01:36,989 --> 00:01:43,769 you go across I think people who are new 31 00:01:42,180 --> 00:01:45,420 accountable still want to do this and 32 00:01:43,769 --> 00:01:47,519 then they'll get confused I mean it's 33 00:01:45,420 --> 00:01:49,409 not too difficult if there's a panel 34 00:01:47,519 --> 00:01:51,899 below you read the panel if there's no 35 00:01:49,409 --> 00:01:53,429 more panels below or it does a border 36 00:01:51,900 --> 00:01:57,780 that goes across then you go back to 37 00:01:53,430 --> 00:02:01,618 this it's same thing here oh there's a 38 00:01:57,780 --> 00:02:04,228 panel below this oh there's no more page 39 00:02:01,618 --> 00:02:08,008 so I'll go to here there's no panel 40 00:02:04,228 --> 00:02:12,360 below so I mean across age it's really 41 00:02:08,008 --> 00:02:14,579 quite simple just imagine this is a full 42 00:02:12,360 --> 00:02:16,980 panel that's broken up into segments and 43 00:02:14,580 --> 00:02:20,910 then it's not so hard then it's just 44 00:02:16,979 --> 00:02:23,129 always this this this this 45 00:02:20,909 --> 00:02:29,759 it's just imagine that this is an extra 46 00:02:23,129 --> 00:02:31,949 segment of panels so here's some super 47 00:02:29,759 --> 00:02:35,009 simple rules to making your comic now 48 00:02:31,949 --> 00:02:37,229 look like as one when you have text 49 00:02:35,009 --> 00:02:38,399 although this is in the original text so 50 00:02:37,229 --> 00:02:41,729 this is someone else you know it's what 51 00:02:38,400 --> 00:02:49,860 I do typesetting you should almost 52 00:02:41,729 --> 00:02:52,469 always have space near equi equal 53 00:02:49,860 --> 00:02:54,269 spacing around your words it's not 54 00:02:52,469 --> 00:02:56,750 always possible especially since these 55 00:02:54,269 --> 00:03:02,159 balloons were made for Japanese words 56 00:02:56,750 --> 00:03:05,310 but most of the time when this is done 57 00:03:02,159 --> 00:03:08,519 right you've got about an equal spacing 58 00:03:05,310 --> 00:03:10,560 going around on the thing okay what I 59 00:03:08,519 --> 00:03:13,560 normally see when something's not done 60 00:03:10,560 --> 00:03:15,750 right there's a lot of this where 61 00:03:13,560 --> 00:03:17,370 there's I mean this isn't too bad once 62 00:03:15,750 --> 00:03:19,439 again these are their original balloons 63 00:03:17,370 --> 00:03:20,909 so they had the the typesetter I have to 64 00:03:19,439 --> 00:03:23,400 do what they could with what was there 65 00:03:20,909 --> 00:03:25,379 well you'll see you know text that's 66 00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,430 like this and then there's just spaces 67 00:03:25,379 --> 00:03:30,340 on top of the bottom or 68 00:03:27,430 --> 00:03:34,718 you know crowding where the whole thing 69 00:03:30,340 --> 00:03:38,348 fills up you know you'll have a bad 70 00:03:34,718 --> 00:03:40,858 scenario where I've seen this quite 71 00:03:38,348 --> 00:03:40,858 often actually 72 00:03:46,479 --> 00:03:55,039 I'll see this and it's horrifying and 73 00:03:53,090 --> 00:03:56,509 they'll just right up to the edge the 74 00:03:55,039 --> 00:03:58,459 text is right up to the edge it's just 75 00:03:56,509 --> 00:04:03,729 kissing the edge and it just drives me 76 00:03:58,459 --> 00:04:03,729 bonkers so don't do that either 77 00:04:03,969 --> 00:04:09,590 additionally you'll see that the text is 78 00:04:06,620 --> 00:04:12,920 almost uniformly consistent now this 79 00:04:09,590 --> 00:04:19,189 isn't a hard rule a lot of comics can 80 00:04:12,919 --> 00:04:23,680 conveniently alter their font size my 81 00:04:19,189 --> 00:04:23,680 rule is use two sizes 82 00:04:25,250 --> 00:04:30,680 unless you're in a really bad spot and 83 00:04:27,290 --> 00:04:35,260 he really needs something to fit I mean 84 00:04:30,680 --> 00:04:35,259 obviously sound effects don't count but 85 00:04:35,769 --> 00:04:39,229 definitely don't use it for funds as 86 00:04:37,639 --> 00:04:41,659 someone else here was this was more for 87 00:04:39,230 --> 00:04:43,580 something else I want to show but here 88 00:04:41,660 --> 00:04:47,930 you can see more good good space look 89 00:04:43,579 --> 00:04:53,300 good nice even spaces other than 90 00:04:47,930 --> 00:04:57,199 everything and this just gives the 91 00:04:53,300 --> 00:05:00,710 reader good legibility it makes it look 92 00:04:57,199 --> 00:05:01,759 like you know what you're doing and it's 93 00:05:00,709 --> 00:05:04,519 better that there's a bunch of you guys 94 00:05:01,759 --> 00:05:07,159 and you actually will be on empty space 95 00:05:04,519 --> 00:05:10,159 to zone around a lot of text see how the 96 00:05:07,160 --> 00:05:15,230 fonts are pretty pretty reliably the 97 00:05:10,160 --> 00:05:19,630 same size here yeah so that's the first 98 00:05:15,230 --> 00:05:23,540 thing keep keep your stuff consistent 99 00:05:19,629 --> 00:05:24,829 same thing here you'll see it and like I 100 00:05:23,540 --> 00:05:28,210 said sometimes you don't have a choice 101 00:05:24,829 --> 00:05:31,310 because just translating in Japanese 102 00:05:28,209 --> 00:05:36,289 this text goes up and down like this so 103 00:05:31,310 --> 00:05:37,668 it fills up perfectly so unfortunate 104 00:05:36,290 --> 00:05:40,610 translators only have so many options 105 00:05:37,668 --> 00:05:42,409 but that's that they still made an 106 00:05:40,610 --> 00:05:46,430 effort to keep this really consistent 107 00:05:42,410 --> 00:05:48,770 and nice you know the eyes and a big ah 108 00:05:46,430 --> 00:05:54,490 there isn't a huge word here and it 109 00:05:48,769 --> 00:05:56,719 doesn't always feel fill up and so yeah 110 00:05:54,490 --> 00:05:59,199 secondly this is actually pretty 111 00:05:56,720 --> 00:06:05,150 consistently I see this problem 112 00:05:59,199 --> 00:06:08,060 keep your gutter space consistent okay 113 00:06:05,149 --> 00:06:11,689 so if you're going to do this at 70 114 00:06:08,060 --> 00:06:16,379 pixels then always do the vertical one 115 00:06:11,689 --> 00:06:19,800 at 50 pixels or whatever the case it is 116 00:06:16,379 --> 00:06:26,670 pretty often and I think this is just 117 00:06:19,800 --> 00:06:31,259 good for legibility horizontal gutters 118 00:06:26,670 --> 00:06:37,069 are always taller okay and vertical 119 00:06:31,259 --> 00:06:37,069 gutters are wide you can see 120 00:06:39,848 --> 00:06:48,550 here okay so before and before you go 121 00:06:46,329 --> 00:06:50,558 telling me you know well I know I think 122 00:06:48,550 --> 00:06:57,399 it doesn't matter here's why it matters 123 00:06:50,559 --> 00:07:00,819 ah a tall horizontal gutter makes it a 124 00:06:57,399 --> 00:07:03,338 lot easier for the reader to sense the 125 00:07:00,819 --> 00:07:06,459 vertical sorry the horizontal panel 126 00:07:03,338 --> 00:07:08,050 reading method they have to take part in 127 00:07:06,459 --> 00:07:09,999 to read okay 128 00:07:08,050 --> 00:07:11,079 and actually newer comics today and 129 00:07:09,999 --> 00:07:14,649 recently shouldn't they notice this 130 00:07:11,079 --> 00:07:18,308 newer comics especially manga have opted 131 00:07:14,649 --> 00:07:20,050 for really tall this again skin isn't so 132 00:07:18,309 --> 00:07:24,969 tall actually that's I picked this one 133 00:07:20,050 --> 00:07:29,168 up specifically for that reason really 134 00:07:24,968 --> 00:07:31,360 tall horizontal better spacing and that 135 00:07:29,168 --> 00:07:33,248 really makes the reading way easier 136 00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:40,769 there's no missing what you're gonna do 137 00:07:33,249 --> 00:07:40,769 here this this this this this this 138 00:07:42,110 --> 00:07:51,090 you have to so basically what we got 139 00:07:46,050 --> 00:07:52,350 here is I'll way taller and I'm not 140 00:07:51,089 --> 00:07:54,269 quite sure when this started happening 141 00:07:52,350 --> 00:08:07,110 but it's been pretty much adopted with a 142 00:07:54,269 --> 00:08:10,740 lot of the weekly comics so that's 143 00:08:07,110 --> 00:08:15,050 pretty important and I see a lot of 144 00:08:10,740 --> 00:08:18,120 comics with just really inconsistent 145 00:08:15,050 --> 00:08:20,819 panels haphazardly drawn a different 146 00:08:18,120 --> 00:08:22,860 don't do that guys it's really super 147 00:08:20,819 --> 00:08:23,399 easy to like this is even a hard thing 148 00:08:22,860 --> 00:08:25,590 to do 149 00:08:23,399 --> 00:08:29,489 all you gotta do is you jump in whatever 150 00:08:25,589 --> 00:08:34,978 program you're using okay here I'm gonna 151 00:08:29,490 --> 00:08:36,990 just show you how to do this so you're 152 00:08:34,979 --> 00:08:38,970 grabbing the frame 153 00:08:36,990 --> 00:08:41,070 I'm inverting so I'm gonna just fill the 154 00:08:38,970 --> 00:08:44,129 inverted thing with white okay we're 155 00:08:41,070 --> 00:08:47,240 good put this in the folder alright and 156 00:08:44,129 --> 00:08:50,009 now I'm gonna grab another layer and 157 00:08:47,240 --> 00:08:52,379 with the best way to do this is to have 158 00:08:50,009 --> 00:08:56,789 a brush exactly the pixel size you want 159 00:08:52,379 --> 00:08:59,909 I usually do this in Photoshop but you 160 00:08:56,789 --> 00:09:04,620 can do this here so I've got a brush at 161 00:08:59,909 --> 00:09:06,569 I think thirty is gonna be good you know 162 00:09:04,620 --> 00:09:08,870 so I'm just going to draw lines right 163 00:09:06,570 --> 00:09:08,870 across 164 00:09:11,870 --> 00:09:22,070 right across okay I'm gonna have another 165 00:09:17,840 --> 00:09:26,440 brush it's probably gonna be 16 okay 166 00:09:22,070 --> 00:09:26,440 that's about near half but not always 167 00:09:26,649 --> 00:09:40,929 okay this way I'm not drawing a bunch of 168 00:09:38,240 --> 00:09:45,019 boxes and trying to isolate everything 169 00:09:40,929 --> 00:09:49,099 this way okay so now I have two layers 170 00:09:45,019 --> 00:09:53,059 one with the Lions when with this I was 171 00:09:49,100 --> 00:09:54,920 gonna ctrl-click both okay and I've 172 00:09:53,059 --> 00:09:56,929 shown you guys this before in other 173 00:09:54,919 --> 00:10:00,799 tutorials so I'm just gonna expand 174 00:09:56,929 --> 00:10:05,169 expand expand go black fill okay now we 175 00:10:00,799 --> 00:10:05,169 have just literally we this is inside 176 00:10:05,350 --> 00:10:09,790 are you doing anything fancy I just 177 00:10:07,090 --> 00:10:11,410 basically if I hide the white you'll see 178 00:10:09,789 --> 00:10:15,189 it's just black that's bigger than the 179 00:10:11,409 --> 00:10:17,159 original white I created so getting this 180 00:10:15,190 --> 00:10:21,600 isn't hard 181 00:10:17,159 --> 00:10:23,579 isn't hard you just have to keep in mind 182 00:10:21,600 --> 00:10:25,620 that you're doing it in Reverse you're 183 00:10:23,580 --> 00:10:29,580 drawing the gutter spaces with cursors 184 00:10:25,620 --> 00:10:34,560 you shouldn't have don't draw these 185 00:10:29,580 --> 00:10:36,690 lines one by one do that if you're doing 186 00:10:34,559 --> 00:10:41,159 some sort of stylized comic and you want 187 00:10:36,690 --> 00:10:44,760 it to look but if you just want to quick 188 00:10:41,159 --> 00:10:48,529 easy reliable comics with a really 189 00:10:44,759 --> 00:10:53,009 decent gutter space do this keep in mind 190 00:10:48,529 --> 00:10:55,350 to not make your the blocks too dark you 191 00:10:53,009 --> 00:10:59,399 get this kind of bad effect here you can 192 00:10:55,350 --> 00:11:01,019 see it gets Ken has this really black 193 00:10:59,399 --> 00:11:09,509 border and it actually makes it pretty 194 00:11:01,019 --> 00:11:14,809 hard to read so step one - doing good 195 00:11:09,509 --> 00:11:20,419 comics I mean - really is legibility so 196 00:11:14,809 --> 00:11:23,809 the spacing around these words okay 197 00:11:20,419 --> 00:11:28,349 legibility that's all it is 198 00:11:23,809 --> 00:11:30,839 having the font size the same legibility 199 00:11:28,350 --> 00:11:33,379 having this gutter spaced consistent and 200 00:11:30,840 --> 00:11:35,670 having it taller horizontal legibility 201 00:11:33,379 --> 00:11:38,370 pretty much everything you do with 202 00:11:35,669 --> 00:11:40,439 comics is about legibility because it's 203 00:11:38,370 --> 00:11:42,720 a series of images that all have to 204 00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:45,150 cohesively work together to tell a story 205 00:11:42,720 --> 00:11:46,980 if they are not legible or you can't 206 00:11:45,149 --> 00:11:49,259 understand them or you're the reader is 207 00:11:46,980 --> 00:11:52,560 fighting against them even if it's 208 00:11:49,259 --> 00:11:55,460 slightly the readers the text and senses 209 00:11:52,559 --> 00:11:59,069 this and it comes off as a cheap comic 210 00:11:55,460 --> 00:12:02,070 and these are really really simple 211 00:11:59,070 --> 00:12:04,680 things - that vastly improve your comics 212 00:12:02,070 --> 00:12:06,540 legibility and make you don't make you 213 00:12:04,679 --> 00:12:10,379 look like a professional even in the 214 00:12:06,539 --> 00:12:12,870 slightest way I mean we could go further 215 00:12:10,379 --> 00:12:18,539 talking about the actual paneling itself 216 00:12:12,870 --> 00:12:20,940 you know picking this is the rule I'm 217 00:12:18,539 --> 00:12:23,579 sure you guys have heard about the rule 218 00:12:20,940 --> 00:12:25,620 of thirds if you break up your comic 219 00:12:23,580 --> 00:12:27,810 into three panels into three it's always 220 00:12:25,620 --> 00:12:30,259 good to pick a hotspot and you can see 221 00:12:27,809 --> 00:12:30,259 his faces 222 00:12:30,639 --> 00:12:39,250 here it obviously because the board 223 00:12:34,549 --> 00:12:43,189 balloons are in the way yeah we actually 224 00:12:39,250 --> 00:12:44,750 that's a third I didn't do my third 225 00:12:43,190 --> 00:12:46,459 right you know so it's actually 226 00:12:44,750 --> 00:12:48,708 occupying these two it's actually 227 00:12:46,458 --> 00:12:49,939 occupying this the rule of thirds is 228 00:12:48,708 --> 00:12:51,679 always about these corners but I 229 00:12:49,940 --> 00:12:54,290 actually feel that it works better if 230 00:12:51,679 --> 00:12:57,888 you consider the these things and these 231 00:12:54,289 --> 00:13:05,078 things these spots but anyway same deal 232 00:12:57,889 --> 00:13:09,680 here okay point of interest right here 233 00:13:05,078 --> 00:13:15,019 and the reason why this works is most 234 00:13:09,679 --> 00:13:18,229 mostly because I get the automatically 235 00:13:15,019 --> 00:13:20,179 sort of gives the breathing room and 236 00:13:18,230 --> 00:13:21,680 flow right if you're always putting so 237 00:13:20,179 --> 00:13:24,409 if you put something way up here it's 238 00:13:21,679 --> 00:13:26,120 gonna be kind of you know crunched in 239 00:13:24,409 --> 00:13:28,429 the corner if you put something in the 240 00:13:26,120 --> 00:13:30,078 dead center which this isn't technically 241 00:13:28,429 --> 00:13:32,629 that Center it's actually this is dead 242 00:13:30,078 --> 00:13:34,638 center this is actually a lower bottom 243 00:13:32,629 --> 00:13:35,870 half because the frame is this big even 244 00:13:34,639 --> 00:13:37,188 though the balloon takes up that space 245 00:13:35,870 --> 00:13:41,480 you're still considering as a whole 246 00:13:37,188 --> 00:13:42,889 shape you know as soon as you put 247 00:13:41,480 --> 00:13:47,149 something in the center you're saying 248 00:13:42,889 --> 00:13:50,810 this is super important so it'll happen 249 00:13:47,149 --> 00:13:52,250 this is dead center but it's not really 250 00:13:50,809 --> 00:13:54,859 because that Center would be in the 251 00:13:52,250 --> 00:14:00,649 middle this is actually more I would say 252 00:13:54,860 --> 00:14:02,528 a column in the middle here's dead 253 00:14:00,649 --> 00:14:05,918 center right here 254 00:14:02,528 --> 00:14:07,719 so it's not as something you avoid but 255 00:14:05,918 --> 00:14:08,948 there's a focus point here so I kind of 256 00:14:07,719 --> 00:14:11,349 chose the eye over here 257 00:14:08,948 --> 00:14:13,988 it's not something you avoid but it's 258 00:14:11,349 --> 00:14:17,919 not something you rely on just keep keep 259 00:14:13,989 --> 00:14:20,109 an eye on where your keep were you kind 260 00:14:17,918 --> 00:14:21,818 of put into focus and additionally this 261 00:14:20,109 --> 00:14:22,589 is something I've have to still learn 262 00:14:21,818 --> 00:14:25,028 myself 263 00:14:22,589 --> 00:14:27,489 you really gotta make room for your 264 00:14:25,028 --> 00:14:29,528 balloons man because like if I'm gonna 265 00:14:27,489 --> 00:14:34,028 I'm gonna remove these balloons these 266 00:14:29,528 --> 00:14:39,818 word balloons okay and you're gonna see 267 00:14:34,028 --> 00:14:48,849 kind of how much content is missing and 268 00:14:39,818 --> 00:14:50,978 how empty everything looks okay it's uh 269 00:14:48,849 --> 00:14:53,559 it's one of those cases where you go if 270 00:14:50,979 --> 00:14:56,408 you just just make the room and you have 271 00:14:53,558 --> 00:15:01,088 way less weight less problems because 272 00:14:56,408 --> 00:15:03,369 sometimes I mean some of these panels 273 00:15:01,089 --> 00:15:05,829 are half a drawing they're half the half 274 00:15:03,369 --> 00:15:08,709 the panel half this one's half this 275 00:15:05,828 --> 00:15:11,498 one's half this one's half and when 276 00:15:08,708 --> 00:15:14,048 you're drawing it without the words kind 277 00:15:11,499 --> 00:15:16,239 of there you're filling up the whole 278 00:15:14,048 --> 00:15:17,288 panel and then having to shove balloons 279 00:15:16,239 --> 00:15:18,489 on the side you know 280 00:15:17,288 --> 00:15:19,688 oh well you know I've got to draw the 281 00:15:18,489 --> 00:15:23,288 whole thing and then you're gonna go oh 282 00:15:19,688 --> 00:15:25,149 geez now I believe dripping it over I 283 00:15:23,288 --> 00:15:32,139 still have this problem because I don't 284 00:15:25,149 --> 00:15:33,489 actually plot out I don't actually plot 285 00:15:32,139 --> 00:15:35,318 out my work balloons when I'm doing my 286 00:15:33,489 --> 00:15:39,149 thumbs and I really really got to so 287 00:15:35,318 --> 00:15:39,149 that's a thing I need to learn to do 288 00:15:41,710 --> 00:15:48,810 so that's 289 00:15:58,009 --> 00:16:08,460 we need to look at the man do all this 290 00:16:01,679 --> 00:16:10,469 that's not all and I'll I'll freakin 291 00:16:08,460 --> 00:16:12,420 laugh alright so I've had a YouTube 292 00:16:10,470 --> 00:16:14,220 video remove recently cuz I had a breast 293 00:16:12,419 --> 00:16:15,479 in it I'll freaking laugh if this is 294 00:16:14,220 --> 00:16:18,440 removed because it's a breast anoon 295 00:16:15,480 --> 00:16:24,509 remember YouTube has people's being bird 296 00:16:18,440 --> 00:16:27,990 having their dick shot off and a simple 297 00:16:24,509 --> 00:16:30,090 boob has has mean losing videos so I 298 00:16:27,990 --> 00:16:33,480 don't know man we'll see what happens 299 00:16:30,090 --> 00:16:40,620 with this video let's see if how crazy 300 00:16:33,480 --> 00:16:42,330 their rules are so yeah those are some 301 00:16:40,620 --> 00:16:44,490 pretty pretty much those are the major 302 00:16:42,330 --> 00:16:46,410 factors now of course paneling and how 303 00:16:44,490 --> 00:16:49,580 you should break everything down man 304 00:16:46,409 --> 00:16:52,889 that is its own headache I'll say this 305 00:16:49,580 --> 00:16:55,220 this is the works of Natsu and Oshiro 306 00:16:52,889 --> 00:16:57,629 considered a very good comic artist okay 307 00:16:55,220 --> 00:17:01,080 he's not doing anything crazy with his 308 00:16:57,629 --> 00:17:03,360 panels he's just breaking him down break 309 00:17:01,080 --> 00:17:05,579 break break he's not making inserts he's 310 00:17:03,360 --> 00:17:09,049 not doing this he's just telling his 311 00:17:05,579 --> 00:17:11,549 story as legibly as possible he's not 312 00:17:09,049 --> 00:17:16,139 overlaying any kind of fancy little 313 00:17:11,549 --> 00:17:18,029 doodads or explosive effects or panels 314 00:17:16,140 --> 00:17:20,990 that are leaking out to the edges he's 315 00:17:18,029 --> 00:17:24,899 just he does it but he does it sometimes 316 00:17:20,990 --> 00:17:27,750 he's just occupied with telling you a 317 00:17:24,900 --> 00:17:32,720 story not trying to dazzle you with his 318 00:17:27,750 --> 00:17:35,839 camera then with his artists camera so 319 00:17:32,720 --> 00:17:38,220 keep that in mind 320 00:17:35,839 --> 00:17:40,699 here have another comic here you can see 321 00:17:38,220 --> 00:17:46,870 this is one piece 322 00:17:40,700 --> 00:17:46,870 more more just simple good legible stuff 323 00:17:47,049 --> 00:17:54,549 simple art although this guy looks 324 00:17:50,180 --> 00:17:54,549 pretty credit here oh sorry that was 325 00:17:55,750 --> 00:17:59,589 these my bad well bad don't kill me 326 00:17:58,990 --> 00:18:02,970 Internet 327 00:17:59,589 --> 00:18:02,970 don't kill me we have 328 00:18:06,179 --> 00:18:15,399 so same thing man just your stuff 329 00:18:11,528 --> 00:18:17,138 legible blacks simple silhouettes if you 330 00:18:15,398 --> 00:18:18,729 put like there's a background here 331 00:18:17,138 --> 00:18:21,459 because they want to kind of establish 332 00:18:18,730 --> 00:18:24,559 this a sequence but if you keep putting 333 00:18:21,460 --> 00:18:26,900 the background and you're just gonna 334 00:18:24,559 --> 00:18:29,299 because this is not gonna be easy to 335 00:18:26,900 --> 00:18:31,040 read same for here and then we've kind 336 00:18:29,299 --> 00:18:32,930 of see a background again just to kind 337 00:18:31,039 --> 00:18:35,779 of establish where this guy is he's not 338 00:18:32,930 --> 00:18:38,320 some floating in some field he's looking 339 00:18:35,779 --> 00:18:40,519 in on this conversation 340 00:18:38,319 --> 00:18:43,609 so put your backgrounds in when you got 341 00:18:40,519 --> 00:18:45,889 to gauge can he tends to put backgrounds 342 00:18:43,609 --> 00:18:51,339 everywhere I don't know if he's got an 343 00:18:45,890 --> 00:18:53,660 assistant as a job of it but nice good 344 00:18:51,339 --> 00:18:55,759 legibility with him as well with this 345 00:18:53,660 --> 00:18:56,660 comic as well you know it's actually 346 00:18:55,759 --> 00:18:58,069 kind of interesting because I was 347 00:18:56,660 --> 00:19:00,620 reading some looking at some earlier 348 00:18:58,069 --> 00:19:05,029 comics and he not only does he have his 349 00:19:00,619 --> 00:19:06,829 borders black - too dark and his gutter 350 00:19:05,029 --> 00:19:08,980 spaces equal both vertically and 351 00:19:06,829 --> 00:19:08,980 horizontally 352 00:19:10,140 --> 00:19:14,909 cutting off characters at the wrong 353 00:19:12,869 --> 00:19:17,428 areas like he's cutting off things at 354 00:19:14,909 --> 00:19:19,860 hairlines characters are being shoved in 355 00:19:17,429 --> 00:19:22,288 heads are being cut across heads are 356 00:19:19,859 --> 00:19:23,579 being cut across heads are being cut 357 00:19:22,288 --> 00:19:25,169 across like it's a it's a pretty 358 00:19:23,579 --> 00:19:27,298 consistent and it's not bad to cut 359 00:19:25,169 --> 00:19:28,620 across a head but it's better than the 360 00:19:27,298 --> 00:19:32,369 head touching but you know yeah I 361 00:19:28,619 --> 00:19:34,168 couldn't help but feel that there are 362 00:19:32,369 --> 00:19:39,148 probably better ways to present this 363 00:19:34,169 --> 00:19:41,460 than to cut across the head I mean you 364 00:19:39,148 --> 00:19:43,379 can do that but not concern you know 365 00:19:41,460 --> 00:19:45,179 that it's not being done anywhere else I 366 00:19:43,380 --> 00:19:50,440 think it's being propped properly now 367 00:19:45,179 --> 00:19:55,810 and you know if you look at this car 368 00:19:50,440 --> 00:19:58,890 in this kind you know the layout has 369 00:19:55,809 --> 00:20:01,539 more consideration for all the dialog 370 00:19:58,890 --> 00:20:04,810 whereas here the dialogue seems like a 371 00:20:01,539 --> 00:20:06,609 second an afterthought so you can see 372 00:20:04,809 --> 00:20:08,769 dialogue dialogue everything seems to 373 00:20:06,609 --> 00:20:13,479 really have the room for what it what it 374 00:20:08,769 --> 00:20:15,639 is and before I don't think he had that 375 00:20:13,480 --> 00:20:19,480 kind of understanding so even as an 376 00:20:15,640 --> 00:20:20,470 artist you can totally totally solve 377 00:20:19,480 --> 00:20:24,490 this on your own 378 00:20:20,470 --> 00:20:26,769 a few other things to keep note of 379 00:20:24,490 --> 00:20:28,210 course and this is the more Naurang in 380 00:20:26,769 --> 00:20:32,730 things and he actually you can see a 381 00:20:28,210 --> 00:20:35,350 little bit here is is tangents and 382 00:20:32,730 --> 00:20:38,259 there's a there's only so much you can 383 00:20:35,349 --> 00:20:42,759 do with tangents but I'm gonna show you 384 00:20:38,259 --> 00:20:44,470 word tangents don't exist so there could 385 00:20:42,759 --> 00:20:46,269 have been a tangent here but because 386 00:20:44,470 --> 00:20:49,600 they decided to leave a little bit of 387 00:20:46,269 --> 00:20:51,369 white it's not a problem same thing here 388 00:20:49,599 --> 00:20:54,429 the balloon doesn't touch this line I do 389 00:20:51,369 --> 00:20:56,919 a little touch this line there's a 390 00:20:54,430 --> 00:20:58,570 reason to do this because otherwise the 391 00:20:56,920 --> 00:21:00,370 artist the reader started the reader 392 00:20:58,569 --> 00:21:01,869 will look at it and then will get really 393 00:21:00,369 --> 00:21:03,669 annoyed here there's a bit of a tangent 394 00:21:01,869 --> 00:21:05,919 but it's so subtle that I think you can 395 00:21:03,670 --> 00:21:07,840 get away with it other styles of 396 00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,000 tangents that are really annoying to try 397 00:21:07,839 --> 00:21:14,799 to get with our panel to panel tangents 398 00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:16,420 a good example would be these legs and 399 00:21:14,799 --> 00:21:18,789 there being a post that matches up 400 00:21:16,420 --> 00:21:22,660 almost exactly with the post with the 401 00:21:18,789 --> 00:21:25,149 with the previous panel you know it's 402 00:21:22,660 --> 00:21:28,050 it's it actually happens pretty pretty 403 00:21:25,150 --> 00:21:29,650 often only a little the straight line 404 00:21:28,049 --> 00:21:32,440 that actually happens pretty 405 00:21:29,650 --> 00:21:34,300 consistently cost pretty pretty often 406 00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:37,029 when you're drawing and then having to 407 00:21:34,299 --> 00:21:38,649 undo all of it it's a really frustrating 408 00:21:37,029 --> 00:21:40,960 sometimes because you'll have a 409 00:21:38,650 --> 00:21:42,970 perfectly fine drawing that just looks 410 00:21:40,960 --> 00:21:45,130 weird because 411 00:21:42,970 --> 00:21:47,169 this sort of thing is happening where 412 00:21:45,130 --> 00:21:48,429 you have like a detail in another panel 413 00:21:47,169 --> 00:21:49,600 that looks like it makes the arm go 414 00:21:48,429 --> 00:21:52,330 through like this and you're like well 415 00:21:49,599 --> 00:21:53,859 shit what am I going to do basically you 416 00:21:52,329 --> 00:21:55,750 have to kind of fix a drawing that's 417 00:21:53,859 --> 00:22:03,279 already okay they drive to be totally 418 00:21:55,750 --> 00:22:04,599 fine but because because the the things 419 00:22:03,279 --> 00:22:05,798 are matching up see yeah 420 00:22:04,599 --> 00:22:08,009 you know this tube could have just 421 00:22:05,798 --> 00:22:10,480 easily been just going the wrong angle 422 00:22:08,009 --> 00:22:16,179 and then look like it was a continuation 423 00:22:10,480 --> 00:22:19,419 of this thing you know so you gotta you 424 00:22:16,179 --> 00:22:22,659 gotta keep an eye on that know there's a 425 00:22:19,419 --> 00:22:24,460 bit of a tangent here there's a I think 426 00:22:22,659 --> 00:22:27,909 there's always gonna be some level of 427 00:22:24,460 --> 00:22:30,909 tangent when you're working but you have 428 00:22:27,909 --> 00:22:39,909 to make some strides to make sure it's 429 00:22:30,909 --> 00:22:43,929 kept that Bay you know when things line 430 00:22:39,909 --> 00:22:46,120 up when things line up too much this 431 00:22:43,929 --> 00:22:48,309 edge this edge could have been moved 432 00:22:46,119 --> 00:22:49,178 over and right up against the frame and 433 00:22:48,308 --> 00:22:53,649 it would have looked bad but 434 00:22:49,179 --> 00:22:55,900 they drop it into the they cropped it 435 00:22:53,650 --> 00:23:00,400 right into the thing so it doesn't look 436 00:22:55,900 --> 00:23:03,240 it doesn't look weird so keep an eye out 437 00:23:00,400 --> 00:23:03,240 for that stuff 438 00:23:05,890 --> 00:23:10,940 and that's about it I think there's 439 00:23:08,390 --> 00:23:14,570 definitely more about comics but these 440 00:23:10,940 --> 00:23:17,200 are the mistakes I see all the time so 441 00:23:14,569 --> 00:23:17,200 to repeat 442 00:23:20,119 --> 00:23:26,058 right horizontal gutters tend to be 443 00:23:23,000 --> 00:23:27,490 taller equal spacing and well aware 444 00:23:26,058 --> 00:23:30,798 balloons 445 00:23:27,490 --> 00:23:32,750 consistent font size only varying when 446 00:23:30,798 --> 00:23:35,058 you want to bold or when you have a lot 447 00:23:32,750 --> 00:23:39,288 of some sort of reason to do so maybe 448 00:23:35,058 --> 00:23:41,418 yelling or whispering or you have really 449 00:23:39,288 --> 00:23:44,558 tight confines because you screwed up 450 00:23:41,419 --> 00:23:51,700 somehow all right 451 00:23:44,558 --> 00:23:51,700 keeping making room for your dialogue 452 00:23:52,058 --> 00:24:00,558 pacing your comic in that way that isn't 453 00:23:54,710 --> 00:24:02,569 that it's completely legible and keeping 454 00:24:00,558 --> 00:24:08,720 an eye on tangents so you're not leading 455 00:24:02,569 --> 00:24:10,730 the reader to to look at another panel 456 00:24:08,720 --> 00:24:13,370 because a line leads into a previous one 457 00:24:10,730 --> 00:24:17,538 you know like if something here if there 458 00:24:13,369 --> 00:24:18,979 was another tube here you know just it 459 00:24:17,538 --> 00:24:20,990 would just look wrong I didn't you go 460 00:24:18,980 --> 00:24:26,419 here you read here and it's like that's 461 00:24:20,990 --> 00:24:27,409 not where you should be looking and 462 00:24:26,419 --> 00:24:31,340 that's it 463 00:24:27,409 --> 00:24:33,110 so that that's why that's all the 464 00:24:31,339 --> 00:24:35,119 observations I've made and like I said 465 00:24:33,109 --> 00:24:38,569 and a while ago this didn't exist these 466 00:24:35,119 --> 00:24:40,278 really have these really thick this is 467 00:24:38,569 --> 00:24:42,740 something that recently noticed and I 468 00:24:40,278 --> 00:24:45,890 hadn't looked at comics manga like 469 00:24:42,740 --> 00:24:47,028 critically in a while and I noticed this 470 00:24:45,890 --> 00:24:49,220 and I was like you know that makes sense 471 00:24:47,028 --> 00:24:52,190 you know it's it's kind of a cheap way 472 00:24:49,220 --> 00:24:54,470 to double space your your weekly comic 473 00:24:52,190 --> 00:24:56,929 because that means this means you can 474 00:24:54,470 --> 00:25:00,079 kind of draw less but it also means that 475 00:24:56,929 --> 00:25:02,149 there's more legibility and it's just a 476 00:25:00,079 --> 00:25:07,158 little bit more spacing that let the 477 00:25:02,148 --> 00:25:10,129 reader be able to your story without 478 00:25:07,159 --> 00:25:15,320 getting confused with the with the 479 00:25:10,130 --> 00:25:17,590 breakdown alright that's it for this see 480 00:25:15,319 --> 00:25:17,589 you guys
