HTML-код
- Опубликовано: 6 авг 2016
- In this video I talk about what materials I use when I make my comics. Also, I answer questions I got via email:
- What do you go about making a manga page?
- How often do you work on your manga? And how long does it take you to finish a chapter?
- How do you write a pitch for your manga? Are there any specific tips?
- What publishing opportunities are there for a manga artist? And do you have better options in certain countries?
- How important is it to have a backup plan for another job?
- How important is an art education?

/// Short about me: ///
I'm a comic artist and a teacher at Serieskolan (the Comic Art School) in Malmö, Sweden. There I teach both about the comic making process and about the industry, things like how to get jobs and make a portfolio.
Website for the school: serieskolan.kvarnby.fhsk.se/
Since the classes are for the students only, I though I could do some videos about this so other artists out there could get some help too.

Väldigt bra och informativ video! Tack för att du gör dessa. Dom ger mig inspiration till att fortsätta teckna och släppa min egen serie nån dag ~
Åh, va kul att du gillar dem och blir inspirerad! Jag hoppas att du gör en egen seriebok någon dag så att jag kan köpa den! :3
You are amazing, this has been very helpful for where I am at right now. Ive had sort of an art block. Thank you
Oh, wow! I'm so glad my video could be helpful to you! :D
Glad to see you are back! really good advices you give us in this video, greetings from Venezuela :)
i dont really have a quesion, this is just something ive seen to notice. I see alot of artists that do make it far, started with fan work, or a subject that everyone likes. Such as doujinshi/ fan comics or romantic comics. Then after they're better known take on their own story. Ive also seen this happen with artists who go on to bigger mainstream projects such as an animator. They start with something small like 'adult' work. Popularity is quite important if you want to make a career, ( publishers also look at your fallowing) and alot of people who make all their money from drawing is from that equasion. or get lucky and for some reason, everyone likes it. (some people do read comics just for the art and some for the characters too) publishers also take in the chance its a popular or well like subject just like a tv station would.
i hope this helps people. :)
I would be a bit careful though with making fan projects, since not all creators and copyright holders like it when others gain attention and/or money from their creation.
Yeah, I've noticed this also. Especially in America, but most people aren't too concerned unless your making a lot of money, to the point of suing. :p So basically be careful of what you fanart. hehe
Ughhh, I love your videos! Quick question, what do you think of the new instagram stories? Better than Snapchat in your opinion? Which one will you be using? Would love to get a fellow RUclipsr's opinion :)
Great informative video Natalia :3 Question how do you create outfits for your characters? I mean sure googling different outfits is cool and all but how do you be creative enough to not Google outfits everytime you wanna draw an outfit for your character? Also did you ever get my email telling you happy birthday?
5:34 its the index finger ur correct also my question is that may u give me examples how to cacth publishers attention
Yay! Then I didn't mess up too much XD
Well, I think the scene has changed a lot: today several publishers look at your social media attendance, how many followers you have and such. Sadly, since that doesn't have to prove the quality of someone's work. But I guess publishers want an author that can help as much as possible with the promotion of the book, and a big following is one way.
Also, the classical way is to visit their portfolio reviews at conventions, or try to book a meeting with them. The latter may be harder if you don't already have contact with them, and especially if you're going for a big publisher. A smaller one might be more inclined to meet up for a portfolio review and even a deal.
To get a meeting with the bigger publishers, it might be one way to start hanging around other artists who might work for them or know someone who works for them. By being nice to the right people and helping them out, they might give you that push and let you meet their editor, or even recommend you to their editor. I feel much of the comic scene is based on networking and friendships, actually.
I see, to get a deal with a publisher i need to meet thier expectations and have connections to people to have a better chance to work along with them on the book . thank u so much natalia for the advice XD it really help me understand how to look for publishers
I'm glad I could be of any help! :D
Welcome back! Hi I got my Manga characters and stories in mind but would like to ask you, Should I make a webcomic or manga both look appealing?
depends on the story. most of the webcomics I like to read are comical, while the most manga I read are serious like death note.
Jim Karagkounis Ahh ok I think I should go down the webcomic route then. As my Story is a Comedy-Fantasy.
"a person who doesnt have many friends because of the life that person lives" an internet addict? "a traveller" oh.
hi, Natália you are Portuguese??
