    working on a huge (heavily manga influenced) webcomic and this is actually so helpful
    for now i'm just messing around drawing my characters so i can get a feel of what it might actually be like if i were to make the final versions of these little drafts but..
    soon enough i'll be using this to start working on it all

    3:15 made me remember how in sixth grade me and one of my classmates used to draw stick figure comics, they were one page long, and were basically just one big fight, but it was super fun coming to school every monday and showing each other those pages, what kind of fights we thought up and how we played with the pacing and mostly visuals, I remeber one time I decided that just stick figures were boring so I added some perspective, like a camera going around the figures, a first person pov and just things like that, it made them more enjoyable to draw and look at. even tho it wasn't much, hopefully it helped form an at least decent base of skill and understanding of perspective. now it has been a year since i started to kind of draw more often, but I haven't really got to learning anything about art, it just kind of happens that I kind of know how to draw and my friends have been saying that I have a talent for it, so I want to try and improve my skills to not let it go to waste, especially since I enjoy it so much. this video has inspired me to try and make a comic of my own, thank you.

    this actually works, i'm not even kidding.
    like not exactly the 5 hrs thing and it being your first comic, but the fact that you can finish something you can be proud of in a span of only a few hours.
    a friend's birthday was coming up in two days (and i even have little free time to draw cause i was busy) and i wanted to draw a hypothetical scene for their fanfiction as a gift. because of the deadline i had less time and energy to stress about it being perfect and only focused on finishing it on time. i even tried something new (technique-wise) along the way and was happy with it. and they liked it very much even though it was messy as hell 😅
    i wish i have this same rushed yet effective process on all my other comic projects, otherwise i would have finished so much this year. i'm hoping to fix this 😭

    What a timing! Just starting my first comic. I gotta say. This is a solid an advice as it gets.
    1. Get your resources
    2. Put a 5hrs timer on
    3. Start making your comic with the skills you have.
    4. Finish the damn comic.
    I would add ...
    5. Repeat ( don't just repeat ... )
    5.a. Share it
    5.b. Notice what you did well & repeat
    5.c. Notice what you can improve & improve it.
    6. Finish the damn comic ( at your current skill )
    Repeat ( don't just repeat ... )
    Etc.

    Oh my god THANK YOU
    I have been so tired of hearing the same "keep you big comic project for later and work on something simpler to practice" because it's so discouraging to me to just be told to do something else instead of the thing I actually want to do, so this is actually such a neat solution to that dilemma

    • @KeshArt
      @KeshArt  Před 7 měsíci +3

      Yup! A smaller version or a different version of your project is a good place to start. You get to work on what you like and the end is in sight.
      Miyazaki did something similar with shaunas journey. It's a good example to look up:)

    The universe sent me a sign. I started writing a comic idea a couple of days ago. Then, I thought...I have no idea what I'm doing. I started doing research, which then lead to "research" aka procrastination. I saw this video on my feed just now and watch it...I'm convinced, I should just start the draft. Thanks for the push! I look forward to more pushes in the future!

    This is honestly what i needed to hear. I've had a few ideas that ive been working on for a few months, but I have a tendency to overthink and over plan things when first starting a project. Makes it hard to get the ball rolling. Design and illustration is my day job, but I've never made a comic before so its pretty intimidating to feel like I'm at square one again. But if something is worth doing, its worth doing even if you're not very good yet. I'll figure it out as I go, and that's the fun of it. :)

    This sounds like pretty solid advice. I’ll have to try it next time I get a chance. But where does the story making process come in? Do you walk into this with a story already in mind, or do you make one up in the five hours you have? Is character design the same way?

  • @Kaitopia_
    @Kaitopia_ Před měsícem

    That's actually a pretty good idea. I've already finished 2 small projects but lately I can barely start anything, much less finish. I think I'll set a time, whatever I have available, no matter if it's only one hour and all I can make is a comic strip. It's way less pressure than thinking I'll make a comic for a contest or start a series.
