40:17 I’m assuming you already love Mike Parobeck and Darwyn Cooke’s works with DC!! If not I highly recommend checking out pretty much all the animated series comics, basically anything with the word Adventures in the title was solid gold. So underrated.
Hi Jarred. Jim from Madrid, Spain (a fellow artist and a New Yorker expat living abroad). Fantastic Master Class on illustrating a comic page using traditional mediums (pencil, watercolor, gouache)... Just wonderful!!!! Thank you VERY MUCH for sharing it with all of us... Additionally, great explanation of the process, the colors used, the brushes, etc... Just WOW! I'll be watching it again several times to learn as much as possible! Cheers from Sunny Spain! 😁👍😎✌
Sorry... I forgot to ask you, if you don't mind, which 3 Mop/Quill Brushes (natural hair & sizes) would you suggest using for small, medium & larger size paintings? Thanks in advance for your help! Cheers! 😁👍
@@jaimejaime1178hello! Thanks for watching! Quills can be expensive. I think 5-6 are the best all around. They’re a little large for small but they can handle large if needed because they hold a ton of water. 7 is great for large. I have a 10 I use but it’s really only good for first wash on very large (14x20 and up) I do like having a 3 or 4 for smaller. I do think if you get a 5 you can use it for any size. If I go smaller I switch to sables. Quills are best for big washes as they hold a lot and also great texture for drying them and dry brushing stuff like tree textures. Handling smaller shapes or darker values can feel like hitting a target with a machine gun- they hold so much water it’s hard to reign in. It takes practice. They don’t repoint either. Which takes practice working with- if they flip over they stay over unless you roll it back to form. Escoda makes a terrific synthetic version- ultimos and Aquarios. They hold a lot and repoint. I still prefer the Isabey naturals personally but it took a lot of getting used to.
Alpay Efe did a video about the paints they used at Studio Ghibli and it was some very interesting Knicker Poster Paints. I keep wanting to try them but they are a bit expensive.
He’s great. I’ve seen that video. I bought a set of those paints but haven’t managed to get them out and play with them. I went plein air painting with my friend Justin Donaldson and he brought a set of them for his and they looked awesome. He’s a great follow on insta and here if you haven’t ran across him.
thanks for sharing the process. it helps when im making my own comic as well using a similar traditionally painted approach. your first book was great, lookin forward to the next.
Your background treatment are really something special, Jared. It's truly inspiring to watch. Thanks for this demo and especially the discussion. "Kodi" is fantastic and I'm looking forward to "Kodi 2!!!" Good luck with the process!! Cheers ~ Mark
I was thinking about your inking process Jared and you talking about brushes keeping a point, have you ever tried the kuretake clean colour brush pens? they are actually filled with a type of water colour ink I find they can mix pritty well, and they hold a point really well. could be worth a shot
I have searched for an artist who could show me what you are sharing. I am so thrilled to find your video. However, could you please tell me what kind of tape you are using to hold your paper in place. Also, it appears that you have taped the paper to a piece of cardboard. Is that what you use? I am currently writing my childrens' books and have finally found the correct process.
Hello! Glad you found the channel! I use ‘Artist tape’ brand tape I get from dick blick. I tape it down to a piece of hardboard or you could also buy watercolor specific foam core or gator board but those can get kind of expensive.
@@JaredCullum I am going through your videos that demonstrate the process of creating your story. I have searched for someone to teach me the simplicity of telling the story. I am in the process of creating a children's book. I do not want to use AI. I am a watercolor artist and have drawn cartoons. I think it is just the process of telling the story in pictures. Do you have any instruction video's that could walk me through this process?
Turn around, yes. Sometimes I have to turn them in depending on publisher. Color script not so much although I do keep it mind. I think through it but the publishers have worked with have never asked for them.
haha I drop my brush all the time. :) Luckily at that stage everything is going to be a lower value than pure white so whatever splotch it creates I can just incorporate it. :) Thanks for watching! :)
Burns, or blooms, I’ve heard them called. With transparent watercolor where an area is accidentally flooded with water and it picks up the pigment and drops it in a sort of ring around a small area.
Yes! Did I forget to say Holbein..? That’s a mistake. Thank you for watching. This is Holbein watercolor Juane brilliant but it has white in it so it’s technically like gouache.
Thanks! Holbein actually produce Jaune brilliant No 2 in WC and Gouache - the difference being that the gouache has PY42 in addition to PO20 and PW6, the WC doesn't. Seems funny as they are both meant to be the same color!@@JaredCullum
Thank you so much for sharing your traditional process for creating comics. Do you scan your pages to edit them and add speech bubbles, text, in Photoshop or another digital program? I'm trying to make a decision about what to use for that part of the process. :)
Yes- exactly. I use photoshop and add speech bubbles and text on top. I'm just not very good with hand writing and not terribly interested in hand-written bubbles so I do that part digital.
Thank you for sharing!!! It is so difficult to find interior process work and especially in Watercolor!
Thanks for watching!

@@JaredCullum definitely going to check him out!!!
Heck of an experience to watch you paint.

@@JaredCullum Love the process! Can't wait to start painting myself!

This was entertaining and informative. Thank you!

Really good information.
I appreciate you taking the time to watch!
Amazing work Jared, when you say you want to avoid burns what do you mean ?
Burns, or blooms, I’ve heard them called. With transparent watercolor where an area is accidentally flooded with water and it picks up the pigment and drops it in a sort of ring around a small area.
@@JaredCullumthanks !
Is the jaune brilliant the Holbein gouache variety? Thanks - a great tip substituting this for white.
