      It's harder to create focus in color. In black and white, everything works in service of the composition. But it color, your eye can be drawn to some background rando's pants because they are red rather than focusing on where the composition of the panel wants you to look at. Not to mention in America comics, the colors often obfuscate the great line work underneath and undermine their effectiveness. Bottom line, if you are drawing with black lines, the comic works better in B&W.

    • @luthfeeghazale6206
      @luthfeeghazale6206 2 года назад +19

      I think the reason why Araki's artwork became so godly in SBR is because in 2005, the JoJo series was transferred to the monthly seinen manga magazine Ultra Jump. With a monthly serialization he had time in evolving his artwork as well as able to portray things in which he wasn't able to portray back when JoJo was in Weekly Shōnen Jump. Imagine if SBR and JoJolion was serialized in Weekly Shōnen Jump, man he would not have evolve his art that much as he is right now.

    I'm a big fan of documentary style videos like this. Keep up the good work! The only thing is that there always seems to be the lack of shoujo and josei manga in most manga videos in RUclips which is bit disappointing since shoujo and josei manga has influenced many manga/anime series including shounen and seinen series. Unfortunately, not many people read shoujo because they generalize it as girly, cliched, or having similar manga art when that's not always the case. A popular example, is Rose of Versailles by Riyoko Ikeda influencing Berserk since Kentaro Muira often considered Berserk to be like shoujo in some aspects. Leiji Matsumoto is another artist who was influenced by shoujo as well.

      I've been so hungry for the _experimental and lonely_ vibes of Nihei's work, especially when so many people influenced by him have missed that undercurrent, and apply _maximum exposition and scale_ instead. Warframe comes to mind. The humanoid cosmic horror designs are lovely, but the story's so _loud._

    I think The Fable deserves more mentions when talking about the greatest artwork in manga, the realism clashing with the sometimes absurd facial expressions works so well, its probably the most realistic manga of all time, every body looks natural.

      @@mightychris4800 Basically, to sum it up real quick:
      Take a slice of life anime, but set it in a post-apocalyptic war-torn abandoned world. The main characters are two girls who are best friends, and it’s basically just them keeping one another’s company and exploring the wastelands, scavenging old military sites, and hoping that they may find another person besides just the two of them.
      This show and/or manga was so simultaneously lonely at the same time comforting, and the main characters are so fun and adorable to watch. The way it so subtly showed you this broken world with insane architecture was really beautiful.
      EDIT: The manga has a different (and better) ending than the show. If the show had like 1 more episode it would have captured the full story. But either way you experience it it’s just wonderful.

    I think the thing I love most about manga is that we can have artwork like this that just leaves your jaw on the floor and more simple art like dowman seiman's work and it still serve the same purpose. And I love them both, the stellar lifelike art is a testament to the dedication and passion, whilst the more abstract and cartoonish art is its own skill of conveying things in a stylized manner.

    In my opinion, Horikoshi is very underrated with his art with My Hero Academia. For example: in the My Villain Academia arc, the way he drew the facial expressions of Shigaraki was very impressive. Especially with his talent of hatching, along with the cartoon look. I feel like he should really get more recognition as (just like many other manga authors) he does this almost every week.

My art style consists heavily on cartoony style but realism is in there (or at least i try to despite me still practicing anatomy and such). So seeing how you broke down the art helped me take a step back and try to take it easy and think how i want my comic to look without stressing too much. (Im working on the pages to my first comic that im hoping to make it into a career and im STRESSED. To the point ive been hesitant to work on it cuase i dont want to ruin the art). It may seem strange that this helped me ease my stress but its a very good video altogether. It has my appreciation :)👌

    Manga is more than just a form of entertainment. It is a true art form that captures the imagination and inspires creativity. The intricate details of the characters, the vivid landscapes, and the emotions conveyed in each panel are a testament to the skill and talent of the artists who create them.
    The combination of storytelling, illustration, and design in manga is truly unparalleled. The artists are able to transport readers to new worlds and bring characters to life in a way that is both powerful and captivating.
    Manga has the ability to evoke strong emotions and leave a lasting impact on its readers. It has the power to inspire and influence generations of artists and storytellers.
    In short, manga is not just a book, it is a masterpiece of art that deserves to be appreciated and celebrated. It is a testament to the power of creativity and imagination, and an inspiration to all who seek to express themselves through art.
