The line work is my favorite part! I struggled with whether to start forgoing black lines for colored lines like many of my favorite artists, but ultimately decided against it. The lines are the part i enjoy the most, and i think they're what I've mastered the most on account of that. :)
Me too, inking is very satisfying indeed, but i think i ll probably try to do some parts without ink to give a more realistic feel. Also is a bit annoying to start learning new techniques when you feel confortable at one. I spent a lot of time doing inks and i feel decent at it, so it s easier to stay in this confort zone 😅 i think that if someone wanna be a good artist, has to try different things tho
People who like doing line work are so lucky imo! Nice line work is so beautiful. I can somewhat do it but for me it's so excruciating that drawing becomes painful. I had to find another method before I stopped wanting to draw lol
The cover illustration for volume 3 is very nice. By looking at the picture, even without the explanation at the beginning, you can tell that it was created based on Yusuke Murata's style. It is such a good work. I support your efforts to bring Japanese-inspired manga to the rest of the world! Please keep up the good work.
Seeing your work is always so inspiring… Especially when you work with markers and basic liners, makes me realize it’s not all about the tool but also the artist’s ability.
omg i remember doing this in school!! i would always remove some lines while drawing realistic pieces, but i never thought of doing it in a stylized piece. it actually helps so much
Stumbled upon your manga Apple Black in a comic book store here in Sweden. Bought it and looking forward to reading it. Feels good to support your creativity and the inspiration that you given me the last six years. Cheers!
Murata is actually only the artist for Eyeshield as well. Also purchasing Apple Black volume 1 tonight, had the og one digitally but going physical this time.
Yo. I'll admit, I haven't been keeping up with the journey from start to finish or anything like that. But I saw your manga for physical sale on a shelf at the store and I immediately thought "Holy shit he actually did it! Good for him!!" I'm proud of you kind stranger. Keep up the work.
I've been depressed for a long time. Whenever I try to draw like used to, I simply get tired and end up trashing the work. After watching your vidz, I think I might try getting back into it manga, it would be nice to feel that passion again like I once did.
Wow I haven’t watched one of your videos in a fat minute, it’s crazy to see that apple black is now has physical books. I haven’t ever read the books but when I first found you I was a small art child trying to find tips on art, now I’m much better than I was back then and I will never forget that one video you made on folds that taught me what I know today.
Lately, whenever I watercolor or use alcohol markers, I've never used ink pens for line art. My lining is so bad that I gave up on it. Hearing this has helped me feel assured that that's not a bad thing to do
Daaaaamn that's badass!!!!! Volume 1 is still my favorite I just like the blue all over it really makes it look different from other manga and the feeling of the book itself is so satisfying to touch. Imma do another video of this series and channel, I hope you get the chance to see it when it comes out XP also, already pre-ordered Volume 2 awhile ago so can't wait to do an unboxing
Very informative video .I never liked lineart as a whole just in certain spots. This made perfect sense .Also I gotta try making digital adjustments to a traditional drawing.Ive colored a traditional sketch on my tablet b4 so it shouldn't be hard .👍🏽🐻
I learned the hard way... because I have no patience and therefore, my markers make the lineart bleed away... That i work much better applying copic markers directly on colored pencil sketches. This way I can decide later on where I want the lines to go, where to make them thicker or thinner, and if I want to make the lines softer with a colored lineart or something else. It can be super fun, I encourage you to try.
I am literally the biggest fan of one punch man. I even started my own comic coz of it. Thanks for sharing this coz I used to wonder why it looked so good and mine looked meh. You're talented and great at art. Keep it up.
CONSISTENCYYYY!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! W video man preciate the tutorials lately but don't burn yourself out just yet art community needs a mentor to inspire em frfr
The only problem I’m having is how do you determine the size to draw your cover traditionally? I didn’t see you use any measurements similar to printing size, so do you just draw freely on large paper without measurements? Anyone answer please
It depends on what you're drawing and what size you want the drawing to be as well as the cover size. If you use measurements, use them in a minimal way (straight lines, outlines, ect.) and free style the rest. If you don't plan on using measurements, work with the size of the paper you have and free style it. When it comes to this type of thing, you have to know where you want the angles to be and how big or small the drawing has to be in order to cover a good portion of the cover/paper ect. I hope this helped.
These covers are similar in size to your usual A5/B5 paper, so it doesn't really make a difference, A4 is completely fine, if it was cards, posters or even banners, then that would be a problem, bc you would have to adjust detail level for a card and for a poster you would have to draw on a B4 or A3, to get more detailed and give nuance to the linework.
I like to start bigger. You can typically find Bristol paper (most commonly used comic paper) with guidelines for the bleed if you need it. And then you can make adjustments after scanning to make if fit the proper size for your project.
If you're worried about dimensions that much then think of it this way. The bigger your space the more room you have to draw. The smaller your space the less room you have to draw. You always want to upscale whatever your target measurement is for instance I draw mostly and export my files at 1920x1080 I usually double that number and get 3840x 2160. This allows me to paint at 4K so I can get all my details in the painting, then when it comes to downsizing those details will still be there. So a typical cover is usually 5 inches x 7.5 inches or 12.70 cm x 19.05 cm so you would just double that number. tl;dr / my opinion: You don't need dimensions if you're going to draw big and scale it down you have all that information on your painting still there, you can just adjust when you're finalizing the cover. You're probably better off drawing at your comfortable dimension / resolution then downscaling.
Thanks for the tips man, really appreciate it! Alot of very helpful things there that I'm looking forward to practicing myself. Also, love your artwork and am very interested in checking out your work, Apple Black. Might pick up a volume sometime soon!
You should've put the Black Bar on the bottom, behind the character's foot, to make it look like he's leaping out of the cover, just move the name a bit to the side.
My Apple Black Power & wand: Instantly makes north and south magnetic fields on living and non-living things 🧲but only two at a time. Wand is a bag of coins he/she carries
Volume 2 isn't out in stores yet. But you can pre-order it online :) I forget the exact date but it will be available soon www.saturday-am.com/graphic-novels/
Hi I am on pc (too young to afford a graphic tablet) and I have photoshop CC, I have some problems such as brushes and some settings which I'm exploring, is there somewhere where I can contact you if you stop uploading? great video btw all your videos teach me new styles of drawing (at first I only watched because I thought looking at pictures being drawn is fun but you motivated me sir)
You can you make a new video on explaining how to make your own anime for beginners. And how to make it from start to finish it would help if you made a video on explaining how make a anime like how Japanese people make their animes. Thanks for help and I can't wait for your new videos keep up the good work😕👍👍👍👍👍👍👍👍
Nah I want to improve on drawing like my guy Tite Kubo. Especially on the new Bleach Anime art style. which is also finally airing with the final arc in Oct 10th.
But when i read volume 1 (bought it) the art resemble Tite Kubo (Bleach) alot. It's like the art is from modern day Bleach starting from the Hueco Mundo Invasion.
@@wanyunjinn676 well I think whyt manga IS GREAT, PHENOMENAL, and AMAZING. And that’s my opinion But it doesn’t just have to be my opinion because honestly it’s a fact sorry if that doesn’t match with what you believe
@@dreamalitymangacreator5891 Could any Human create a Planet? of course not and words such as Phenomenal ETC. Truly only pertain to GOD, RATHER YOU LIKE IT OR NOT...FACTS!!!
@@wanyunjinn676 lmao sorry but weather you wanna believe it or not that is just an opinion because those words are just words, with meaning. If you wanted to measure god by just a word you’re the one actually going against your own belief. There are a lot of phenomenal, amazing, and great people out there you’re free to believe whatever you want but you can’t force people to believe what you think is an actual fact! which isn’t one. you are right God is amazing, phenomenal and great however god exceeds all of those words you are the one truly limiting his existence. So hop off my comments cuz I’ll always think whyt manga is phenomenal
How do you go about writing an interesting first volume? I've got one chapter pretty well squared out on the comic I'm writing but chapter two feels way too slow. I'm struggling with the right pacing. Thank you, and I love your videos by the way!
I'm a bit confused: I was thinking that you switched to digital when it comes to making manga. Is that still the case or do you in fact mix them both up?
for pages on my manga Apple Black, I'm full digital, but occassionally, I may go traditionally in part or fully for colored illustrations or unique occassions.
@@whytmangatv Thank you for your insights! I really like that approach: while the ink flow can be emulated digitally to a certain degree, it is different when it comes to traditional coloring based on watercolor/copics or goauche for backgrounds...
Hi, I need some help please, I’m currently drawing a manga right now on clip studio, but I don’t know how to make page 1 as a single page, for context, everytime I try to add 1 page, it adds 2 instead. is their a way to reorder my pages?
how did you improve or what skill did you improve first? was it figure drawing? anatomy? im at a crossroad where im stuck and dont know what to start with i dont know how to improve. could anyone pls help?
Who has ordered Apple Black Vol 1, 2, 3 and 4?
a lot of people
You also ship to europe?

Love your series been following for a long time
I did mostly cause I like your art. 🤤
yusuke is a legend he actually inspired me to come out of retirement and start drawing again

Good luck with your art dude!
For me that was tatsuki fujimoto

Lines are my favorite part. Inking is so satisfying. If anything I want to get better at using negative space and pure blacks.
People who can ink are awesome! I need to work on mine but I also love the look of sharp and distinctive black lines.
People who like doing line work are so lucky imo! Nice line work is so beautiful. I can somewhat do it but for me it's so excruciating that drawing becomes painful. I had to find another method before I stopped wanting to draw lol
