Hi! Thank you for this video. For making graphic novels, do you more chances to receive a publishing offer if you do the work traditionally or digitally? Also, do you think the story is more important the the illustration?

Hey Cathy, I just found your channel. I'm a Portuguese writer since I was 14 years old and I've been working on my 1st real Novel since September 2020, I was also thinking about starting my own Graphic Novels as well but there's a problem: I'm 40 and the last time I drew something was 20 years ago when I was a Student. A few days ago I tried to draw something (Lara Croft) but it came out pretty bad, I always loved Comic Books, in the 90's when I was a young boy I used to buy a lot of X-Men Comic Books but my mom thought it was better throwing it all to the garbage can. My question is: Should I start making Graphic Novels as well as normal Novels? Today I got a few Drawing Books in the mail just in case.

Thank you!

Straight up amazing and educational for someone who’s just starting out even contemplating making a comic book. I was searching everywhere for how to script comics and finally found this video after watching lots more. This covers scripting topic I wanted to know about and so much more. Thanks for this great resource!

I'm an adult working on a graphic novel and this is soooo helpful to see your process, esp the pitch deck! When you pitched The Breakaways, did you already have an established relationship with the publisher or did you cold-pitch to them? I'm trying to figure out how to get that initial conversation going. The publishing world is completely new to me and it's surprising how things that are obvious once your in it are completely new concepts coming from outside.

This is so informative and amazing! 😍

happy for you, kinda content is motivation for me, i have the same planning, i'm just on the middle of my story building, thank youuu

omg i see TJ and AMAL back there on your shelf! what a throwback!

I dipped after the 'black trans lives matter' How about all lives matter and leave behind this racist marxist bull?

❤❤谢谢你。 马来西亚漫画家

I met you at the Zine fest at the steelyard in Providence! Awesome video dude!

How do you get better at drawing

What size paper do you use for your comics and what margins do you put on the sides to make your framework? Cool studio tour and nice artwork!

Thanks for your knowledge, very helpful information. ❤❤

I can tell all all of these way to get published does not work. What saying don't have a dream.

Amazing Job! Thanks from Brazil! 🥰

I have a question: I'm creating a graphic novel in Clip Studio Paint. When I'm done with it, it'll roughly be around 200 pages. How do you save or work on a file that has so many pages without slowing the program down? Do you only do a certain number of pages with multiple files and then combine them all using a different program?

It's so great to see you working with traditional art supplies. Very cool!

can you got read please now

I find it disturbing that you target a 5th grade audience with your agenda. Girls sleepover turning to trans makeout session? Cringe.

what platform did you write your script on?

I have a very similar light table (only mine is 11x17 lmao)! for soft erasers like the sumo grip: have you tried the sakura arch eraser slim-type? It's not a click eraser but the form factor makes it a bit better for erasing details.

I like drawing comics too I’m currently drawing tests and writing drafts of plot ideas

This is without a doubt the most useful thing I have seen regarding creating a graphic novel (especially from the publishing side.) I have a very tangible idea of my goal now that I've seen the steps. Thanks a million.

Thank you for showing off your process in this video! It was very cool learning how a comic gets made and pitched. :)

I never knew you had a RUclips channel! I loved the breakaways and it was such a good read!

I got this book today at the library and I could not put it down I just had to keep reading I literally read the whole book just in one day now I'm thinking about making a graphic novel

Im glad the algorithm recommended this. Very clear, and very interesting. Thanks for sharing the process.

I think you understand my questions😅

My english is bad

Hi akka i am very interested in comics .my question How i start my ideas to deliver in comics Please any tip for me akka. I am stuck how to start. I am beginner also

Hi Cathy! Just watched your video and gotta say thankyou so much! Im trying to get started on a graphic novel myself, but its incredibly daunting especially as i have a busy family and work life. Yet your explanation of the processes are really inspiring. What i wanted to ask specifically is, before i get to the 'final' panneling stages, do i need to conform to a specific page size for eventual publishing? I didnt want to get into the detailed stuff if the page size and margins would be wrong for printing. Is there a way that you make sure that your artwork will be the correct page parameters before you start? Thankyou so much❤

loved to see the process behind, great work!

Is there a link you can share to the "Create Your own comic book page" workshop you did with the library ?

I have been writing comics since I was 10 and I really like coming up with stories and going through them all in my head to make sure they flow correctly. One Day I will write one that I will get published.

Did you hand draw the pitch pages?

Looking forward to your next project~

:>

❤❤❤❤ As I am watching this video…I am working in my sketchbook for thumbnails of my own comics…❤❤❤❤❤❤ Please keep sharing your comics and how you make them as you’ve given me some good ideas❤❤❤THANK YOU❤❤❤❤

Thanks so much! This taught me to break down the plot before adding details making it so much more organized than before

Hi Cathy, Thank you for posting and sharing to the world. This video was very informative and inspiring. It has helped re-spark my artistic endeavors. I also just made an Amazon purchase for Breakaways. God bless and thank you!

Seeing all of your artwork and structure was amazing! It makes so much sense to my artist mind. I’ve never felt more capable of making a graphic novel. Thank you for such a well done breakdown. You’re such a talented artist and I’m going to put your book on hold at the library to read!

Love the book it really good and the breakaways is a good book❤❤❤

Of course a ugly woman with a trans lives matter poster in the back works with a library. What a groomer

I wish I saw something like this sooner. You showed this process beautifully. Now I really know what I have to do to fully create a graphic novel with confidence!❤

I’m actually starting to right a graphic novel with my best friend! I am hoping that we will be the youngest to ever write one! The book is about a girl who was raised by plant people and the plant people get in war with humans ETC. it’s gonna be called plant VS. People!

Love that you Worked on Paper. The Writing too.... When I pick up a Pen and Write...that INk... Its magical. Handwriting.... and Drawing! Keep that Magic going Cathy! 12:11 Love the Initial Coloring... the Brown tones...wash like, and the colorfull Coloring in the final book. Also that the Colors stay Simple! 15:51 Music in my ears, when I see those Layouts! 18:10 That Guitar!!! LOVE

I read the breakaways when I was 11, and I loved it! A year later I'm working on a manga & graphic novels, and stumbled upon this video lmao nice

After the rough thumbnails ,do you redraw the final pencil or you use a lightbox by tracing your thumbnails ,in your vide you used lightbox only for inking ?

loved this tutorial and all the steps incorporated therein
