    This guy is what some other youtube artists should be like, simple directions not "first you have to get all the colours to copic brush pens then get all different kinds of rubbers sharpner for that and sharpner for this". But he's actually different from the others, for example when he was doing the 1 hour mini comic challenge. He didn't do it for just us he did it for him to give him a good challenge. Unlike jazza ( which I still very respect btw ) who just does something simular to something else like some sort of pen or marker or some tack and clay.and also When he thinks we didn't get it he uploads another one, and because he failed on the last one so he tried again for his sake and for ours.

      Think of the journey from the bed (getting up) to the bus stop for work/school. Then think of all the things which can go wrong to make you late, and pick out the ones which have visual appeal and humour.
      Did the alarm go off or did you throw it at the wall yesterday?
      Did the dog eat your breakfast?
      Did you rush out wearing odd shoes or your slippers?

    • @MarshMakesComics
      @MarshMakesComics  5 лет назад +3

      Yes there's all kinds of options for paper thickness I don't know the specifics but I would say just experiment with different ones to figure out which one you like. People who make mini comics will make them out of anything including just typical computer paper. I used a little bit thicker paper and a very light cardboard stock for the cover on this one. 😎

    • @MarshMakesComics
      @MarshMakesComics  5 лет назад +2

      I think surprise and irony is at the heart of comedy. Lead people one way and then the punchline is something that the audience didn't expect. Maybe because it's the opposite of what they thought or just different in an ironic way. Also be clear and try to make sure the timing (pacing) is right. Hope that helps!

    Can you make a comic without inking?

    • @MarshMakesComics
      @MarshMakesComics  5 лет назад +1

      You absolutely can in fact a lot of people get away with just really nice tight pencils and then they do some work in Photoshop to boost up the contrast! Inking was more important back when the printing process was different and they needed the dark lines to be able to print better quality. But it has become part of the aesthetics of how Comics typically look so most people still do it in one way or another. But you can literally use any medium you want to make a comic as long as it will print. Doesn't have to be ink 😎

    How to make a graphic novel publishable:
    Step #1: Become an author
    Step #2: Ask me what my writing process is
    Step #3: Write the book
    Step #4: Ask Marvel or DC to inspect the novel
    Step #5: Hopefully one of those two will do a graphic novel version of your novel.
