"What pen is that? Where can I buy it? How much will it cost? And what will the person who sells it be wearing? **chuckles** I'm sorry." This is one of the reasons why I love you. Lol.
NotTheNorm ^_^
worked out word balloons? Yeez that sound so time consuming for evey time... Rectangle tool?
I was reading your comment just when he started talking about it. 😂
I was the 300 like

My son and I are creating a Manga together. I am writing the story, and he is illustrating. We lived in Japan for six years and thus are heavily influenced with the Manga style. He just turned 15 and is a very gifted artist. We very much enjoy watching your videos, and we each take something away from all of them! I just realized that I have not subbed, taking care of that now. どうもありがとうございました!
Thank you so much, Joseph!
hey hows it going Kuya. i think its awesome that you and your son have something soo cool to bond over. ide like to do something like this with my oldest. hows the manga going? its been 2 years. ide deff like any updates. feel free to contact me by facebook or whatever. my facebook is my name James Dugger. hope to hear from you
How's going with your son? Are guys doing well?
This is what art should really be about, having fun, sharing with others, and above all staying humble. This guy never fails to teach me something new while making me and my kids laugh at the same time:)))
+Legos the Gray way! Thank you so much!
When I finally create my own manga series (which I recently started the concept for it), I'm going to thank Mark Crilley for my success.
All hail Crilley! Lol
Deion Lilly Thank you! ^^
Show us your drawings then
So how's the manga going?
Great; thanks for asking! I've gone through several story and character revisions, but if you're genuinely curious about the story, then feel free to personally contact me! I'd be glad to share.
Thank him, but hailing him? Idk XD
He's such a goof, I love it so much XD its hard to find people with a natural sense of humour now-a-days
Chelsea-lea Jones really?
Hmm... dunno about that.
Yes many of my friends do shits to mmake ptjets laugh
You are correct
Ugh, man. I watched this video right before I started my new 2D Draw/Design class and one of the first things that my teacher told our class was, "You shouldn't be using Crayola markers and pencils and crayons in your pieces- you're not in Kindergarten any more. You can't use mechanical pencils in your work either; they're made for writing, not for shading." It broke my heart because I really admire you and when you talk about how you should find your own art supplies and how the 'trusty black prisma' might not work for you, it makes me wish my new art teacher could understand that. *sighs*
Anyway, amazing work- as per usual, Crilley! My own comic is still in its concept stage, but maybe I'll make a few panels like this, just kind of to get a feel and some practice for what's to come.
I, too, hope to one day create my own comics series. In the meantime, I have other creative projects in the works. Writing's my strong point, so if you need a writer and/or someone to edit the dialogue, send me a PM and fill me in on the basic story.
Thank you, that's so sweet of you! O uO
Art teachers at colleges can be pretty weird about what real artists use to do their work, because their experience is often isolated to academic art. I had to explain last year to a drawing instructor, back in freaking 2014, what a cintiq is, and she had a difficult time understanding why any artist would use one. Don't take everything teachers say too seriously, try to learn what you can though. Mechanical pencils are practically the norm among comic artists for penciling.
Thank you, Xenophanesiamnot. I'll take that to heart. O uO
xenophanesiamnot why would you ever *NOT* want a cintiq its the best thing ever *drawing digitally directly on the screen* must be a beautiful experience I WISH I AND ONE ITS EXTREMELY EXPENSIVE =(
Dude, you are my favorite person.
All of your videos help so many people and you are seriously very talented. You are better than any art teacher I ever had in so many ways. The fact that you make things that look so complicated and beautiful into easier steps, and that you give advice rather than tell us what is "right" and "wrong"... You have no idea how much we appreciate you in every way just for helping us.
Stay awesome!
Thanks so much! :)
+markcrilley
Easiest way to do word balloons:
Once you make the square selection, right click inside the selection and click on the "stroke" option. Choose your preferred border colour and pixel size for the border, and then click OK. Now, when you remove the selection, you will see that the border is drawn along where the selection lines were.
Hope that helps!
hey idiot he is really famous comic and manga writer and you are teaching him.
I'm sure he wouldn't mind.
Maybe because he legit said even he can't believe he does it this way, and there has to be a better way, which there is with a stroke. You're the idiot here sir.
I hope I am not just imagining, but I have been a fan of yours since I was 15, now I'm 20. In college, looking for my animation dream. It is all thanks to you and your awesome tutorials!
Thanks Nani :)
+Al-Malik Marsh well different people have different opinions, respect them.
Al-Malik Marsh You see that there's some people who likes Donald Trump, and there's some who doesn't like Donald Trump. That's what "opinion" is.
Now that this comment is 6 years old, how did your animation dream come along? Are you working in that field?
I didn't know I took it for granted that I have a dad who's also a professional Illustrator, now that I'm making my own comics it's awesome to have a personal trainer. Much love to you, Crilley!
Hold Command and click the the thumbnail of a layer and it will make a selection of the content.
For your text boxes, For your white rectangle double click the layer to open the effects. Select stroke and adjust the pixels amount for the desired outline.
Great video Hope this helps.
This, markcrilley! His tips are probably the better method you wanted. :P
I agree with your advice! It's the fastest way to make the bubbles! :)
Agreed, was gonna comment this exact solution
Like this more to help crilley do stuff faster!
I was going to mention the stroke method too haha
That turned out even more beautiful then the ink drawing. I thought the old man impression was funny. You are good artist. I love your videos.
Septra Ortis Thanks!
"And what will the person be wearing on that day?" Ahahaha xD
Mark, without you I would have definitely given up my hope for drawing, but instead I'm now working on a graphic novel. You are a god to me.
Thank you so much markcrilley for this video! You always have and keep inspiring me! I remember you visited the public library when I lived in Michigan in 2003, I think for a signing. I was 5 years old, so I don't quite remember. But I do remember getting an Advance Galley edition of Akiko and the Journey to Toog, which you signed and drew Spuckler on the first page. That was one of the happiest moments of my life. You inspired me so much, and I started to draw because I saw the ease with which you drew. I still cherish that book and I frequently read it.
Thanks-- I'm honored your remember! :)
Watching your videos again has helped me get out of this tight grip depression has on me & pull out my portable drawing board to try drawing again
Dear Crilley, in photoshop options : Edit - Stroke - It's an option that does a boarder in the layer that you selected, you can change the thickness, type, color, everything, is much easier, take a time to try it, it'll make your life really easier :3. Great work as always - Seth
For future text bubbles in Photoshop, you can select the area that you want white behind the text, then right click with the marquee tool still selected and just select fill, then you can just select background colour if it is set to white. You can also right click with the marquee tool selected and select the stroke option to create the black frame around the text area, you will then have options to make it exactly how you want it. Hope it helps speed up the process for you in the future :). And keep making these videos they are amazing! markcrilley
Hey mark, Just wanted to let you know YES there is a easier way to create a Border for your text. all you have to do is go into the Shape Tool Create a Rectangle and set the Fill color to No Fill then give it a Stroke in the Layer Effects. I hope this helps you. Love your videos man.
He needs to read this message. I was giggling like an idiot with his weird way of doing it. I mean, it works, certainly; but this other way is a little faster, at least.
I love all of your videos, but my favorite has always been the full color eye. It is amazing. I learned to draw eyes from your videos and everyone is amazed at me, so thank you very much! 😊
There is no Mark Crilley video without blushies (even when it's a name of a sign)
I enjoyed this video. Thank you from the bottom of my heart because I can feel how you put your heart and soul into all your work ♡ I respect that and highly appreciate it ♡
Thank you!
Omg you made the mastering manga books!? You have NO IDEA how much those books helped me learn to draw! Thank you so much!
Mark, the next time you need to make a recording of your computer screen use a screen capture program such as hypercam or camtasia studio.
But anyway, thanks for the tips!
for the text fields - once you make your selection you can open the "paths" panel and there is a button at the bottom of the panel called "stroke fill" you can use.
To Mark : I work on that free program called Gimp, working not as good as photoshop but working, and when I do the baloon, I fill it in blank just like you and then I have an option (in the "option" pannel at the top) where I simply can draw the line of the selection using a special brush, or just simple lines, and even choose the thickness of them.
Thumbs up so he can see plz ;)
hi Mark! i am doing a presentation for school and i did it on manga..and u were my inspiration for the presentation! i have 3 pages of my script dedicated to you! i love your videos soooooooooooooooooooooooo much.
Haha! Mark, your voices always make me laugh!
Everytime I need some inspiration I came here and watch some of your videos, it makes me want to draw and write and try to do something new like few pages comics or stories. And, even more important, what I really like about watching your videos, is the way you are, how you explain everything and make jokes!! You are awesome, thanks to share your talent! Greetings from Spain!
Thanks Theodryl-- you're very kind :)
Hey Mr. Crilley, I really enjoyed your video. Most people don't realize how much work goes into making a comic book. I think there is a an easier way for doing your balloons. Next time try this in PS: After selecting the rectangle, and making it white, go to Edit, find the Stroke function (right under Fill) then choose width, color, inside, outside etc to your liking. You'll get those black borders around your rectangle quicker. Anyway, thanks for the video!
Two years later and I'm still facepalming at your text bubble process XD Crilley you're so amusing to watch XD These videos are perfect because I chose you for my paper on Master Artists. Especially since you're the reason I'm in art school :3 Thanks for all of the tutorials Mark!
wow, its so cool watching the process :)
Not to sound weird but your humor is very comforting, I can do my homework whilst listening to this vid and still catching on without losing interest. Haha
I love the jokes you make, Really keeps me entertained.
Yu ki Thank you Yu ki :)
I've been trying to create my own manga for a little while now but couldn't get very far but now that I've watched this, it's helped me a lot! Thanks for doing these videos, I really love watching them :)
Hey Mark, your way of finishing your drawings in photoshop not only is unorthodox, but it's really time consuming... try and look for some shape tutorials for the text box and learn what a layer mask is, it will help you with how you apply your tones.
There may be other things you can learn to speed up your workflow in photoshop, so try and look for some tutorials for photoshop.
Thank you for showing us how you do your work :)
Yeah. It's way too much time-consuming.
You definitely should learn some tricks, it's going to make your life easier.
You really make me feel like i can do this. I was trying for the longest time issuing strictly digital which i was never good art, not I'm going back to pencil and pen and I'm now breaking boundaries and actually designing my charges for my first comic. thank you for your videos.
You should make a manga set. Beginners set and advance set. They could both have a book explaining what each tool is for! Or you could do a video on what you use.
Mark's lettering way in photoshop is so cool
Inking always makes me nervous :( screw up and its like..gotta start over
I'm so scared of that! That's why I always do it digitally.
That's why I love digital. Screw it up and you're like "Lol!" *Ctrl+Z*
Abz A dont mind 1 little line, when you put it in Photoshop later you can remove mistakes
hmm... can't you use second paper? Put the paper on top of the paper with pencil sketch and use light table thing to see the sketch lines. Than ink on the second paper... at least that is what I saw on Japanese manga inking video.
Philip Ståhlbrand I work traditionally. One day I will try out digital and then it will help :)
I think for the text box, you can go to you layer editor and add a "stroke" which will add a black line all around the box. It will add a black line around anything. Your art is so awesome. I'm going to start picking up your comic soon.
3 people missed the like button
thank you so much you can't believe how much this helped also i like how you showed us your honest way of doing it
oh no 22:30 Photoshop can do that! if you double click on the layer of the white box or click the button with the little f for layer effects, there is an option to add contour easily any thickness you want!
omg you must've lost DAYS of your life doing it that way ;D
"you must've lost DAYS of your life doing it that way"--More like months. :)
markcrilley There's something hilarious about this. I'm just thinking about what Michelangelo's comment section would have looked like...
"....then I build this really elaborate scaffolding and lay on my back for months on end applying paint to this damn chapel roof, with paint dripping down in my face all the time... there has to be a better way to do this, but I'm stuck in my ways damn it... this is how I was taught to do it... and I have a deadline... the Pope is threatening me with hellfire... Please Interwebs! Help!" ^_^
Your videos are fantastic though. Thanks for making them!
markcrilley *died of laughter* Oh! And your "Mastering Manga" book was really helpful and I loved the style you did it, "Hey everybody this is Mark Crilley..." And what you said at the end of the book really touched my heart. Thank You!!! ^_^ okay now *dies of laughter* XD
*clicks on a random art video*
O..M...G... I MUST SUBSCRIBE TO THIS GUY!!!!
That old man voice was awesome!
I just love your videos and have no word to appreciate your talent.
Your old man voice impression was hilarious!! ^_^
this was incredibly helpful! thank you so much for the tips because I was really struggling to figure out how to accomplish the hand drawn/digital hybrid, and kind of thinking I had to go either way. hand drawings can have so much character and you can see the artist's hand, but PS editing is so very convenient so I'm glad I found this series!
a tip for you is you can create a shape and fill it with white, then make the outline black for the text boxes (or other shapes). it'll save you some time! :)
I really enjoyed watching your process, in this 2 parts video tutorials.
Altogether very inspiring. Thanks Mark!!!
2,547,286 + 1 = 2,547,287!!!!
Thank you ^_^
If you want to save time, you can use the rectangle tool by pressing "U" and changing the properties to "empty inside", thickness 1pt (this looks as thin as your lines but yeah just change that number by a factor of 1, up to your liking) Here is a screenshot showing the settings i use for the thickness. Hope that helps
Love the videos! They really help with art projects. Side note, a quicker way to ad a frame for your dialogue boxes is to use a 'stroke'. Its found under the stroke panel.
So freaking cool man! For the word bubble you could just use the rectangle tool and sent the stroke 2 black, 2 pixels, and the fill to white! Thanks for the video
Hi Mark, I am an older guy who missed being trained when I was young. I was always longing to be an artist but life dictated that I go to work. I watch your wonderful and so generous videos and I can only marvel at your skill. Thank you.
The photoshop part was too complicated fir my traditional mind to process xD
Great to watch it come together, Mark. I wasn't expecting any pencils or pens. I assumed everything was done with drawing tablets.
When creating a word block, double click your box layer and you will find an effect dialog box. open up the tab called stroke, and you can add a stroke to your little box. Adjust color and thickness (size). It can be on the inside (which will give you nice sharp corners) or the outside (which will give you rounded edges).
This is the correct way. I hope he saw this comment.
I’m noting this for when I create my first comic. I assume round dialogue bubbles are the same except with the oval marque selection tool.
Excellent work like always Mr. Crilley 👍👍
Thank you so much for this, Master Crilley :)
Can I bother you to ask what is your strategy for coloring your manga?
jurtly Here's my video about choosing colors: ruclips.net/video/Y0iWT0QznFE/видео.html
Here's a tip for creating the outline around the narration box . Make the box as normal on a separate layer: then click 'Edit' and select 'Stroke' in the drop down menu: this will create the outline around the entire box: you can also choose which colour and thickness you want the outline to be. It works very well.
That was amazing. Makes me wanna get it, too bad I can't find any Brody's Ghost anywhere in this country :(
Thanks for looking, though! :)
Yeah but the shipping prices here are crazy! Most of the time shipping costs more than the product itself.
Just as a tip for the border, you can just select the area with that square select tool and hit the right mouse button. Then, when you're mouse is in the selection, you get a menu and if I'm correct you'll get an option called "stroke (outline) the selection". Now you click this option and you just fill in the width of the pixels you want you're border to be.
I hope this helped a bit and that, although you say you want to do it your way, you'll start using this (faster) method. And thanks for the video, it really helped a lot!
What if you drew a rectangle and applied the stroke from layer styles?
Oh I just said the same thing you said. LOL I must have been reading out of order. :-)
the mystery has been reveled! Thank you, Mark! you really make me feel as i can do comics too, you know i thought it was like rocket science D:
Hey mark, when making the black outline around the text bubble if you double click on the white box layer and navigate to stroke it will create a black outline or any colour for that matter, it is much easier and you can control how thick you want the outline to be.
Or outer glow, if you want a blurred effect (ensure your blending is set to something appropriate for your fore and back colors).
but you might want to change the colour. Its defaultly yellow.
Also, wouldn't be easier to just use the shape tool?
but with the shape tool you are more likly to get the shape a bit wrong, and on one side the line wil be thicker.
Hey Crilley! Quick tip :) - I saw your unique method of selecting everything on the layer, for the designated way to do it, hold Control (on windows) or Command (on mac) and click the thumbnail to the left of the layer title (the little box). Hope you found it useful
Mark, I gotta thank you for your awesome tutorials. I don't draw but have one of those curious minds that enjoys seeing how professionals work, so your skills have impressed me almost as much as your humor has amused me. I would say that if the "old dog" ever gets tired of those word balloon, I'd check out Manga Studio. Keep up the mock accents!
wakjagner Thanks!
markcrilley which program did you use? P.D.: I love your comics!
Great videos, Mark! Thanks for posting these.
I love how the city he drew has a bill board saying 'Blushies' XD
^_^
Jeez. You'll probably breeze past my comment with all this hype. But thanks alot! I mean. Iv'e been drawing comics since I was say in first grade. And I never sorta got the feeling of how someone does it. I understood the parts. First you write it out. then rough. But now that iv'e seen you. I'm more confident I can find my path. Another thing is, your probably the only artist that I know who opens up a how to, with drawing. And When I need some instructions or a pick-me-up. I know where to get it! :3. Seriously thank you for making my drawings evolve from what they were, with your help on explaining in depth what your supposed to do. and show how you do it. I cant possible show my appreciation enough!
... I hope someone told him that he can also use the shape tool to create speech bubbles
i have both you Mastering Manga books and Miki Falls: Spring. I loved this video and would love it if you did another video on character designing tips
Just finished reading Brody's Ghost the complete edition. Fantastic. Loved it. 😃😃
Thank you so much!
For your border line text bubble you can make a rectangle and go in "Blending Options" then go into stroke,change it from outside to inside and choose your size
23:01 is priceless :)
Mark would be an amazing voice actor
LOL
I love your tutorials and they are really helping me learn. Has anyone shown you how to create the highlights and shadows on photoshop yet? Happy to help if not. At the minute I am finding it hard to use photoshop, even with a graphics tablet. I'm doing everything by hand but picking up drawing after so many years is tough. Your tutorials are great, thank you.
Hey mark please read this i was about to comit suicide and I saw you had a new video so i watched it and I started drawing and I realized im pretty decent so i realized im not good for nothing so basically you saved my life thank you so much
Either way... we're all good for something, and our lives are very valuable. Don't even think about suicide again! D: I may not know you, But I know YOUR life is very important ! (':
Thank you actually My crush actually asked me out today and I've been alot happier lately
Nmanplaysminecraft That's great! (What would of happened if you weren't here?!D:) Lol, I don't really know you, But congrats! Even I haven't ever been asked out by anybody, much less my crushes.. Your pretty fortunate! (:
Thx
True, we are all good for something; I don't know you either, but I hope you are getting well and if you decide to make a video drawing something I would like to see it! Sincerely, May the force be with you ;)
Stroke the selective area for a quick box! Right click on the layer go to the top selection to see all the cool quick things you can do such as “stroke”.
I know this is very old video, but right now I'm doing my own comics, I have something like 25 pages of script and alot of character design, but I needed just this right ammount of information to improve my inking and toning in photoshop. I struggled with line weight and inking, so you just save my time of doing same mistakes over and over! BIG THANKS for your existence :D
Am I the only one who add s shadows by hatching?
+FireHunter258 nope, ur not the only one lol
Nope.
To see massive amounts of hatching, Lars Martinson: ruclips.net/video/6BzCDVR-tr8/видео.html
I recently started playing D&D with my friends. Going to take our story from the zombie apocalypse D&D game we had and make my own comic!:D thanks for showing me roughly how to set it out how to build on sketches!
Could you also do a video on how to get a comic published? Thank you for this video! It helped me a lot!
I think hes already talked about that in other videos, check them out maybe he has.
Oh okay thanks :)
Otaku Rocks he talks about this when he is with Evan a.k.a CartoonBlock of tips of how to get published.
I knew it!! xD
I know right lol!
Together with video 1 this is a short, but complete course! Thanks so much!
I love the sign that says "Blushies" XD
I love these videos! The comical light approach works for me.
Your so talented!
hi Mark! i am doing a presentation for school and i did it on manga..and u were my inspiration for the presentation! i have 3 pages of my script dedicated to you! i love your videos soooooooooooooooooooooooo much.
+Elizabeth Fillman Thank you Elizabeth!
Omg does dat say Blushies XD
i know xD
@@shizuhigikata9645 ? whats blushies?
hey mark awesome tutorial!
quick tip:
1.create a mask of the shape you want your stroke to be
2. right click it and select "stroke"
3. fill in the informations(colour, thickness etc
4. there you go ;D
An inspiration for all!
Hey Mark, I dont know if this is on every version of Photoshop, but what I've learnt is that you can select layer style and click on stroke to make a border around the word balloons
I read the first mastering manga it was very good
Thank you!
No problemo
To make a border easier, you could use the Layer Style Stroke option. Just go to Layer, then Layer Style, then click on Stroke. Change values to whatever works best for you and done. Hope that helps.
One day, I will catch you at a comic com or book signing... ONE DAY. :L
This was really great for the comic strip I was recently wanting to start!
I really enjoyed this video and your humor!
Also, your art is amazing!
Thanks for this, it's nice to see someone else's process
Wow. That was probably the most interesting thing I've watched! Thank you so much for doing these tutorial videos (They are the reason I started drawing and they inspire me to continue) you really are quite amazing!
Thanks Lizzy!
haha I laughed when you did an impression of an old man saying "I'm set in my ways. and I ain't changing NOW!!" re-minded me of my grandpa a bit haha LOL
Thank you so much, Mark Crilley Sensei! You're a real Master. If you had a school I would rush into it.
I'm so glad you make these videos to show the process to realize a manga/comics because there aren't many on Internet and especially of that quality and sincerity. It's been a long time a draw, but I still find it quite hard to start a Manga/comics, because despite what we can think it's not that easy as it looks, and your way of explaining every step to that realization is simple to understand yet very efficient. I'm really grateful to your kindness.
It's truly helpful and I'm gonna command your comics, Brody's Ghost, not only to support you, but because I like your work. I've read the synopsis of Brody's Ghost and the story looks captivating to me. I like anti-heroes ^_^
Hey markcrilley actually theres a way of outlining the narration balloon in photoshop.. Just make your box with the "rectangular marquee tool" and then 'right click' and select "stroke...". then adjust parameters as you prefer and your done
Very honest representation. Learned more from these two vids than I have from many books on the same topic. Don't get me wrong, there are some great books out there... but then there are some not so great books out there as well. :)
Kudos sir! Highly appreciated!
