Wow finally a artist that actually feels very motivated and actually tells you how or what you need to make your own comic book!
Thank you I'm planning on my own time to make my own comic book on my own pace and company ( like shonen jump) to make my own comics and this video is very helpful than most people and even I saved up to $1.2k to buy my supplies like iPad and more markers and pens and paint for my career I don't know or think it will be successful but I know I'm not going to give up thank you for your time on this video 😊
You got this! Good luck with your project! :D
@@ItsEnvinae thank you so much ma'am the same for you I pray for your success
It’s great to see your hard work and dedication pay off. You should be very proud of yourself. Congratulations!
Thank you so much! I definitely feel very proud of it (and excited for the rest of the story!) 😀
Bro, I LOVE THIS, became an instant fan of YOU bro. Beautiful work.
Incredible work man, inspires me to make my own book
You can do it! 😁
I want to make and produce my own comic. And also write novels as well. I didn’t realize it was such a huge undertaking. I had no idea you could do it all in procreate!
I’m from nyc too I’m an electrician, I been trying to make my book for years but I’m just getting the right mindset, but I must say I feel like I lock in the best when I’m on a long train ride😂😂
Thank you for drawing your comic and not using AI !!! Humanity needs more artists !!!
Couldn't agree more! Oh man don't get me started on AI...😂
What if one is a great comic writer, but no talent in drawing. Do his stories not deserve to get told. Artists are expensive and for an independent guy the profit margin is very low
@@jenningscunningham642 as far as I see it using AI art is 100% lazy and no matter how good the story it doesn't matter it will still probably look like complete garbage in 99% of real artists views.
If a writer wants art for pennies he deserves to get pennies.
@@hyozanhades09 As a classic trained artist myself, I find that position to be slightly arrogant and very elitist at the same time. What if the writer can't afford to commission an artist to realize his/her vision? What if the writer is underage and can't even have an income to be able to sponsor anyone or anything? People that can't draw have used all sorts of tools to tell their stories since the dawn of time: sprites, photos, stick figures, etc. The way I see it, AI is just another tool in the toolbox (ethical issues notwithstanding) and people that want to use should be able to use it and not be shunned for their choice.
@@hyozanhades09cringe. A story is a story. If the art is compelling, who cares if AI created it? Plenty of artists throughout history have become very successful and respected by doing much "less"
Great job pushing through and finding ways to make time to complete your comic. I just came across your videos and they've definitely made me want to get back into drawing after stopping when I was a kid. Thanks for sharing your journey!
This is absolutely amazing dude! Great job, the art is AWESOME
Wow!!! Awesome video! This is super solid info, thanks!
Dude this is so cool! I just started learning procreate and after seeing this I’m starting to think I could maybe work up the first issue of my comic. Gonna have to get your comic now!
You’re the BEST! Thank you so much to link the size of comic books. It helps a lot! Your comic book looks sick bro
Thank You for sharing your wonderful story... I am so much inspired...😇
Keep going! Insane work!
this video is so good! i'm just beginning to start my own comic journey!! so i'm gonna be binging these videos
Congratulations friend for all this process and dream! 💪⚔️🤙🤙😊
DUDE! crazy stuff mate. inspirational😊
Duuude!! You don't know how I needed that video in my life! I was contemplating the idea of drawing comics cause it's my passion too!! Thanks for your Chanel! Was hesitating for iPad and procreate and now I'm convinced !
So excited for you! Let me know if you need any advice. Thanks for watching and I appreciate the kind words! 🙏🏼😁
Yo this is so cool!! So happy for you 🎉
Very inspiring bro! Thanks for the fruitful sharing. Love it!
That looks great!
It’s really exciting to see you made a whole book in Procreate!! You’re making me want to figure out how to chase my own dreams of writing and illustrating my own stories 😁💜💜
It's not impossible! I believe in you! ⭐️😁
Very inspirational. Thanks.
Thanks for sharing your journey! This is valuable information and can assist me in my current comic creation.
Wonderful! Wishing you all the best on your comics journey! 👊🏼😁
Great stuff, love the vibe, and thank you for interesting info!
Thank you so much! 🙏🏼😁
I love this comic book and eagerly await the next one.
It means so much for me to hear you say that! The next one's already in the oven! 😀
Dude you are such an inspiration 🎉
I guess I'm late to the party. It's my first time seeing your channel, but I gotta say your comic looks amazing!
Eager to check this out!
Thank you sharing your process it is very intriguing and inspiring… thank you! Good luck with your series and self publishing journey! 🔥🔥🔥
Thanks for watching! 🙏🏼
This rules! I was actually researching how to work in Clip art studio because I'm currently working on a comic but seeing that I could do it in procreate, I think I'll save learning Clip Art Studio for later. Thank you!
i love it
Man you are so cool, glad that I stumbled on your channel!
Welcome aboard! Thanks for being here! 😁
Man your work is awesome and I seen you have finally done professional work. I think you will be able to work full time soon as a professional, you are as good as anyone I have seen. Great job.
I appreciate that! Thank you for watching and fingers crossed for the future! 🤞😁
good job i was thinking of making a comic
I love your comic book you inspired me so much thanks
I'm so glad, Diego! Wishing you all the best in your art! 😀
Awesome story brother 🎉🎉🎉🎉
Thank you 😀
great job!
Thanks! 🙏🏼
I must admit - i often thought of the transition from paper/pencil to digital art as a real cop-out and a cheat. Being a comic artist of sorts for the most of the last 46 years i would snub at the new guys using this media........ after seeing the work guys like you put in my perspective has evolved and i applaud you. Great work young man! I use an ipad for work now and only today have i gotten an apple pencil and decided to try out this digital art realm,,, looking for the best drawing apps suited for comic art. Would you still suggest procreate?
Love to cross over characters - SUPERB ACTION UNIVERSE HEROIC!
Good tips
Absolutely brilliant my friend! I am a tattoo artist/artist who is trying to create my own graphic novel too. It’s a hell of a lot of work and the info you gave in this video alone is so helpful and inspiring! I can’t wait to binge watch all your other videos! Definitely gonna order a copy of your book too! Looks amazing! Would you mind if I contacted you further just to pick your brain a little? Totally ok if not, I m ow how many crazies are out there! Haha
DUDE! thats so awesome love that you share your process I too am trying to self publish so your info is great keep it up. just one thing for some reason you audio on this video was a little off was hard to hear at times. thanks so much for all your do!
Sorry about that! I tried a new microphone for this video and the settings were a bit off. Gonna fix it next time! Good luck with your work! 😁
Which iPads work for this?
Man, I wish I was THAT good
I say this exact same thing when I look at other artists, haha! Just be yourself! No one can make comics like you can! 😁
Thank you for this video! But I can't find the kyle's inkbox brush, where I can found it?
Congratulations 🎉
Thank you! 😁
Congrats man.
Thank you! 🙏🏼
Very interesting tutorials, and full of inspirations and humor.
Thank you so much! 😊
Gonna sound silly but reading your comic I got so excited when you had an a little archie comic feature! I love archie and it's something that never features or gets recognised! Keep doing what you're doing!
Thanks Cody! I absolutely love Archie comics; I read a metric ton of them growing up and all those characters are seared into my brain! 😁
Hi! I get a digital copy of The first issue, very nice, I can't wait for second.
Glad you enjoyed it! I'm hard at work on the second! 😁
Amazing looking book - congratulations! And thank you for the insight as to how you produced it - sooo useful!
Felt for you getting knocked back from NY CC this year - but… you’ll have an absolute knock out stall next year!
Thanks Doug! It's been a rocky year but I think I learned a lot! Next year will be even better! 😁
What mic do you use sounds incredible 😍
Thanks for your tips! which dpi size did you use for your comic on procreate?
Great video! Appreciate it and your comic looks great! With Kyle’s brushes now exclusive to Adobe CC, are there any alternatives you’d recommend? Like your style and was aiming for a similar brush set if there’s anything out there
Thank you! I recommend Max Ulichney's brushes (google up his MaxPacks -- the Watercolor set is probably the best in its class right now and his Comics set is great) as well as the Debaser Set from True Grit Texture Supply (if you like a chunky distressed ink line like I do!) 😁
This looks great man. Have you thought about running a crowd fund campaign and selling directly to the customer? I love comic shops, but the direct market is sort of limited
I have, but there's a lot of details I'm not sure how to handle as a one-man operation (like regional shipping). I just want to do it right. I'm planning to consult with someone who knows more about these, specially when it's time to do a collected edition! 😁
I'm going to try getting a copy
I hope you're able to get one! Let me know if you have any trouble! 😁
Hi, your tutorial helped me a lot and im actually making my own comic right now! I imported the comic live, trim, bleed template you linked in the description and it works great, but I have one question.
For the cover of my comic, do I have to stay within the live box? Or can I go into the trim and bleed?
You can go there but make sure the most important bits (logo, credits, etc.) stay within the live area. Honestly I’ve gotten away with scooching it a bit further out but not too much! You wanna be safe and anyway the extra space helps the design breath.
Please make more print copies please! I'll order several!
Thanks for the great video!
More on the way! I'm gonna do a second printing of issue 1 hopefully soon. Thank you for the comment! 🙏🏼
Amazing! Were you inspired by Opus???
Dude this is sick, what iPad did you have to draw it?? And what stylus?
iPad Pro 12.9 M1 and Apple Pencil 2! Thanks man! 🙏🏽😁
I didn't know Manila had a comic book shop 😮
Damn! This is so inspiring. Nagbabalak din ako gumawa ng comics ko when i got my ipad pro. Kaso parang nawala na yung passion ko to draw dahil busy na sa work. Anyway congrats!
Mahirap talagang mag-komiks habang may trabaho, pero kakayanin kung kaya! Don't think about passion or motivation, just start it and give it a little time everyday...you might surprise yourself! 😁
this is very helpful tutorial! thank you for this information. only thing i can recomend is using good microphone, quality of the video will be even better
Agreed! Yeah I really borked my audio with this one! Will do better in the next one! And thank you for the kind feedback, appreciate it.😀
hi, if you're done drawing comics in procreate, in what format are you saving it?
is it JPEG?
For print, TIFF! For web, JPEG! 😁
This is a good video you should remake it with your current audio! Love your content btw you make want to follow my dreams!
I might do it when I release the next issue! 😁
What was your ppi
Where did you download the smooth brush
It's a Kyle T. Webster brush but it's a little confusing to get now that he's Adobe exclusive. Check here and follow the trail: www.kylebrush.com/
how to download brushes
Would you be willing to offer you page template for other comicers to buy/download so they can draw in confidence knowing where the bleed lines are?
Hi Brandon! The templates are freely available online! All credit goes to Aditya Bidikar who made them. Here's the article where he explains it (scroll down towards the bottom for the download link):

@@Comicbooker thanks very much man! Great video btw!
I have been following your journey. Would love to buy the digital copy of your comic book as I am based in India and shipping is expensive. All the best!
P.S. Thank you for inspiring me to finish my first book on an iPad 🙂
That's so wonderful to hear! There's no thrill quite like finishing your first book! Congratulations! 😁
🔥 🔥🔥
🙏🏽😁
Congrats on the fine work! Audio seems weird but I was still able to listen to it though it bothered my ears since it sounded too loud and muffled. Still,..thanks for sharing!
Sorry about that! I had microphone issues. I'll do better next time! 😅
😊👍
Can procreate be downloaded on pc
Sadly, no. But Clip Studio can, and it's excellent for making comics too! Arguably the better program for it, TBH. 😅
@@Comicbooker I downloaded paki, or was it taki? Idk one of them tho. It has not failed me yet
@@Comicbookerisn’t clip very expensive
!Great video! (we need to get you a better mic tho)
Thank you! (And I knowww haha omg audio issues are my nemesis 😂)
Very cool story and amazing artwork! I sent you an email!
How has the book been selling?
Pretty good! I sold half of my first print run during the first month of release, and it's been a steady trickle since then. I only have about 10 copies left though so I may go into a second printing soon!
Pls how can I have 1comic
Love the video but I hope you fix your audio.
👍🤗
🙏😁
Good content. The sound quality needs work though
Thank you! I'll do better with the sound next time! 😅
DUUUUUUUUUUUUDE
BROOOOO 👊🏼😁
Bros mic: Fdgfvecrfrvfrcrtgtrvtrfwr
LOL I know, I'm so sorry haha! I'll do better next time! 😅
nice work, but fix your mic, it's clipping. :)
It looks like Kyle 'sold out' and is now a pawn for Adobe (boo, hiss). Oh well, maybe when they collapse under their own weight he'll support procreate again? :D
