Howdy y’all, thanks for stopping by! (And sorry it’s been a minute, this was a real chonker of a video so it took a while to get it all done! 😅) -- Fun fact, the comic I worked on in this video was one of the projects that had me busy towards the end of last year! But I’m still truckin’ on with one or two other secret projects at the moment, and one in particular is way bigger than anything I’ve ever done before…!! (Nearly done though, so I’m really looking forward to sharing them soon!! 👀✨ )
For now anyhow, I hope you’ve all been keepin’ well, and if you have any comic-making tips of your own, please do feel free to share them with everybody here in the comments! 💖
I think a decent tip would be to have characters with designs that are different enough from each other that the reader doesn’t mix up who is who, unless you want to make it purposefully confusing to add intrigue
I really need to see if Leo (*the one in the goggles as i have been calling him*) gets to Doctor Hold (*the one in the lab coat*)
Sorry for naming your character they seem like fun
Hello, i am an OC creator and i LOVE writing and comics and movies.
And i really wanna say that even though manga isn't my main field (the main media i consume) i LOVE your manga. Not just blindly but i have reasons. The main reason is that the way you present the story and the "epic reveal" you talked abt, it worked.
The story is short and sweet and says very little and still so much. (Especially with the expressions as they say goodbye)
And i am left with questions, the good kind of questions. Questions that are awsome for short stories to awake.
-how do they know each other
-who are they?
-how did main boi end up in space?
-why can't he get back?
-is he working there with some orginization?
-are both of them working with a orginazation or was main boi just stranded out there?
-did they live together or work together before?
-how close are they?
-how does main boy have internet connection out there?
-what are their names?
And so on. That is so admirable and good!! Like you managed to make people ask all this with just a few pages. And now people wanna know more. With all this you got the human hook into place just perfectly!!! Imma study, imma note, and imma get gud✨🤙
When I was a young boy-
My father, took me into the city to see a marching band~
@dreaming_destiny675 he said son when you grow up
Will you be the savior of the broken-
the beaten and the damned?
He said “Will you defeat them~
How did you simultaneously make me want to read and write more stories while making me cry at what a beautifully drawn and written short story!?!? Amazing work as always and congrats!
thanks so much! 💖
Woah, a national competition? Oooh that's so impressive. Well done!
thank you! 💖
Now that I've finished the video that comic is like achingly relatable. How often have I casually asked or been asked to an event, only to have to laugh it off with a "Not likely" because it's a lot more complicated than it should be? "I'll see you soon" sounds more like words of comfort than an actual promise, like how far away is "soon" going to be? How often have I said that to friends only for months to pass? I need to stare out a window for a while and drink some cocoa. Well done, you're first place in my heart.
Thank you for leaving such a thoughtful review dude, I really appreciate getting to hear how my stories might resonate for different people 💖🥺
@@ABDIllustrates No problem ☺
Wow! Congrats on the contest, dude. You definitely earned it!
aa thanks so much! 🥺💖
WAIT WAIT THAT'S NOT ENOUGH?? Please don't do this to me 😭😭😭 it's so beautiful and now I'm invested ❤❤❤ You did such an amazing job so it's a well deserved award! Congratulations 🥹🎊👏🏼
SAME! i want more so badddd
SAME!!! I LOVE THEM THEYRE MY BOYS
I was around 42 minutes into the video when I realized... I didn't even know these characters' NAMES and I was obsessed with them!! Beautifully written, beautifully drawn, and I just want these two to be happy and see each other face to face! Amazing comic :)
the way my jaw dropped when he said "i feel i could've done better on the final panel" when thats literally the most captivating b&w space scene i've laid eyes on... just proves that whats considered "good enough" for one artist could be exactly what pushes another artists inspiration through the roof and into the stars. tl;dr: make what you wanna make even if you yourself don't think it'd be any good, because chances are you haven't a clue the power of your impact.
lol rewatched your first making manga video yesterday and now I'm blessed with more??! My evening plans are set XD and CONGRATULATIONS on 2nd place!!!!!!!! that is amazing well done! 👏👏👏🥳🥳
Thank you lol! I hope you enjoy this one! (^^)/💖
watching this while working on a comic of my own and alternating between nodding along in agreement to your commentary and shaking my head in amazement at how much more efficient your method is than mine, lol. your work is always amazing and keeps inspiring me to improve my own art; congrats on the contest!
sgsdjsfg I always worry that my methods are way too roundabout so I really appreciate that lol! 💖 I hope your comic work goes so good! 💪
good luck to you
I just want to say, i love this comic!!!!!! I love the reveal, and all the stuff you don't get told directly but can figure out with the backround, etc... I love the character designs and THE LAST PANEL WAS SO COOL!
I love seeing your process, I also use clip studio paint, but I make a webtoon with it so seeing it used to make regular comics is very interesting ;D
8:48 Making it up as you go sounds intimidating, but the truth about a writer is that they're always thinking of stories. They could be showering or working on something else; they're thinking about that story. Maybe even years before they actually start writing. That's the fun part about the writing process for me anyway. I have a general idea (kind of like a sketch) of what my story is going to be, but when I start writing, new and better ideas and better ways to tackle certain situations in the story come to me as my pen flows or my keyboard clicks and clacks.
Tastuki Fujimoto is an absolute madlad and all of us respect and are scared of his créative talent.
... Okay... I don't know if I hate you or love you right now, because I am tearing up and connecting to this manga too much... you did a magnificent job, you nailed the whole prompt to the last bit... I am glad we have someone like you in the artist and comic community...
Tbh in the span of 8 pages you've made those two feel like real people!
So happy you’ve uploaded, I love to draw along while listening to these 👌🏻
No wonder you got to the top 3. That was absolutely heart breaking! In such few pages! And so visually pleasing. Your art style has always been one of my favorites. Congrats man, you did one hell of a job
holy shit, third place NATIONALLY? that's insanely amazing!!! you definitely earned it! your art style scratches a brain itch and i really appreciate the thorough vid! the short story absolutely made my heart ache.
Normally I just put these kinds of videos on in the background while I work, but I ended up staying with the screen for a good long while here. That little Chibi Alex during the slideshow is adorable and I love his expressions.
Love how the manga turned out too, congrats on second place!
One of the reasons I’ve heard for the differing width of the gutters is that it makes the page easier to read, since it separates each row of panels slightly, letting your eye naturally follow the panels horizontally across the page.
i think this is the earliest i've ever been to a youtube video
OH WOW this is awesome, so glad I can see your process in making this!! Keep up the great work ❤
Epic video! So cool to see your manga process and hear you insights about storytelling!
Thank you dude! 💖
@@ABDIllustrates Definitely! I’m hoping to do more with comics soon!
I just read the comic and all the other submissions and man, your panelling is immaculate! Sifting over the composition again and again just blew my mind by how smooth it conveys the story!
0:12 this sentence was like a G note to the face jesus christ
Let’s go! This video was rrly motivating and inspirational! Thank you so much for sharing this! Your videos are always the highlight on my day when I see new ones!
thank you so much! 🥺💖
Your art it’s sooo beautiful
I’ve been so excited for this video when you said it’d be long
aw thank you dude, hope you enjoy it! XD
I love videos like this where there’s a sponsorship but it melds really well with the content and genuinely adds to it with all the tips you’re able to give :D
Also its always nice to see creators with so much talent getting sponsored!
When i saw that you posted something is screamed « LETS GOOOOOOO »
No but why is you voice Sooo beautiful, like I have had the best sleep listening to your voice.
is been years of watching alex's content and i still feel the same excitment everytime i see him post
oh my goodness, this was an absolute joy to watch :D
i would have commented sooner, but the video IMMEDIATELY pulled me in with just how daunting the task felt, and how comforting you made the process o getting it done feel
I'm gonna get all teary-eyed over here dude gosh dang ;w; -- thank you so much! Both the video and the comic itself video were a helluva undertaking to put together so I'm really grateful to hear such nice feedback about 'em 💖🥺
@@ABDIllustrates of course, man! you deserve every bit of the praise. you’ve worked yourself to the bone getting to this point, and it shows
Bro I can’t get body proportions right for anything 💀 but in all seriousness I’ve watched you for almost 2 years and watched almost every video you post, your art is amazing bro ❤️
The fact that I’m watching videos rn about how to make a manga for a contest and you post a video about it I don’t know what to say, I look forward to watch it and congratulations on 2nd place !!!
Manga and commercialized stuff is great- obvi
But i also holy recommend people look at works from other locations/countries/people as well. seeing how other places approach all of these things or diverse ways to convey things really gives YOU diverse refs to use.
Shilling my current favorite Chinese Manhua Lanxi Zhen/Lanxi Town always and forever.
.... You're making me wanna continue a comic I've been working on- Damn-
Btw ?? That art is so good??? I love your style so much !
I love how you animated your short at the end of this video. It made me tear up! wonderful work and such an inspiration
Dude, I started to draw an manga cover of a story and your video is actually a BIG help! And congrats on getting second place! I can't wait to see more of your art videos in the future!
Babe new ABD Illustrates video just dropped stop everything
This was incredible! Such an amazing story, it gave me chills. And the making process itself has actually inspired me to finally pick up an old comic idea I had from years ago, which I finally was able to fixup old plotpoints I was stuck on.
Thank you for making such informative and inspiring content!
Congrats man! You did an amazing job, each of the panels look absolutely gorgeous! I'm really looking forward to each of your future projects.
Nice job on this manga
fun tip for manga panelling that i saw from a horror manga i read!! colouring outside the panels (e.g. a black gradient) is really effective at portraying the fade in for the ending that you used!
i love when mangaka do that because it feels like them communicating to the reader outside of the story.
the manga i read was about a young girl who was obsessive and crazy, but couldn't realise her actions as wrong and thought of herself as a good person. what helped to show the reader this was how the mangaka would use black ink splatter-esque splotches in the scenes where the main character would do something unsettling, like a subtle nod towards "this is bad!!" and in the bigger panels where the bad stuff was shown, the entire page outside of the panels would be black!!
it was super cool and i think by doing that your comic could have an even bigger impact for the ending than it already does!!
Congrats on the competition! That's awesome! :D
I taught a comic class at a local school this past year (am I qualified? No, but we're in the middle of nowhere so i was their only option) and I had write a 10 page comic... which meant I had to write a four lage comic. I struggled but man did I learn some things.
I did, however, start sobbing when you were talking about being able to set up multiple pages.... I also wish I had known that while working on my comic.
Very excited about this video and your comic though. Well done!
I really like how you ended up not only framing the whole thing for a good short comic- but also ended up making it look so good animated! I don't comment often, but I really wanted to say that because damn the visuals going along with the sound effects at the end! It was really nice~
That’s so exciting!! Congratulations!!! It’s so damn cool that you were able to get your manga on display like that. Here’s to your future success :)))
I'm planning on making a webcomic with my friend and this video came out at the perfect time cause I've been needing to figure out how to start the concepts and storyboards. Thank you Alex
Congratulations on second place! I almost cried seeing the finished product, it really hits different once you understand what was happening.
Whoa the production of this video is really impressive!! Love all the little animations and visual aids!
Congrats on the competition Alex! So so proud man, love a good feature-length video from you 🧡
Thank you so much for posting this
I've never needed comforting more
that comic is beautiful. made me tear up
if this is second place, i can only imagine how breathtaking first place must have been! congrats!
CONGRATZ ON THIRD PLACE !!! 🎉🎉🎉 can't wait to watch the process !
GODDAMN!!! Absolutely earned!
You’re already living up to your dream of inspiring people with your art! I’m so motivated right now, what a beautiful story. You deserve the best
congrats on the contest! also awesome to see the chronically tired science man rep!
This is stunning!! You did an amazing job on this 💖
This video was SO well done! I love the comic. And your animatic editing was on POINT 👌🏻✨
I've been missing your uploads ❤
oooh, the comic at the end was so cool! I'd already seen all the pages while you were making them and that last page still hit hard!
Definitely going to be rewatching this video a few times
IM SO HAPPY FOR YOU! THE ART IN THIS IS *chefs kiss*!!!! YOU'RE VERY MUCH DESERVED OF BEING IN THE TOP 3 :DDDD so close to being 1st place, BUT HEY, IT'S STILL A REVELATION, ISN'T IT???? (also the story of those two characters seems so gripping, that i'd love to read a whole manga with them ahahaha!!) so proud of you bro, keep it up
I seriously adore your art so much, I’d kill for an art book from you, I rewatch your videos all the time when I want inspiration
you don't understand how much motivation this is giving me for my own comic im planning its actually insane. beautiful video and wonderful advice!!!!
Congrats on your win! This is really inspiring. Your lineart is so smooth~
This is S T U N N I N G, Alex! I can’t wait to see what other competitions you enter! 3rd place is still pretty damn impressive! Also, kudos on the sound design in the final reveal; it’s a great example of “less is more.”
Dude this was AMAZING! Your process and art is top notch my good fellow 👍🏾❤️
I don't read comics often, but every now and then something like this comes up and it moves me faster than entire shows or movies have. Really excellent work!
Your voice is so nice, it gives me gender envy 😭
Also keep up the awesome work !! Your art style is SO aesthetically pleasing, and your comics are amazing !! And 3rd place is awesome, congrats
This is exactly the video we want. Thank you
The comic feels achingly relatable. Well done
really appreciate this actually being structured as an in depth tutorial rather than putting on a speed paint and talking kind of abstractly hoping we understand 🙏🏾 i feel like a lot of people with experience that give advice forget what it’s like to have no experience at all😭
How am I literally watching the process and still utterly gasping at the ending???
Witch craft!!!!
Beautifully drawn yet again, your style is so pretty!!!
What a wealth of information! Thank you!
Missed you love!!!
This is one of the most helpful videos I've ever seen on the comic process truly. Thanks so much for sharing! And congrats on 3rd place!! That's amazing!!
Absoutely amazing and insightful video, this really helped me feel more motivated to actually start doing more comics honestly especially considering how scary starting can be.
And the comic you made was just beautiful, I'm such a big fan of giving less can make something feel more. Well done!
Great video, and congrats for the second place!
Once again Alex continues to motivate me, thank u💙
Great job alex! You did amazing,keep doing what it is you do!
I've been a fan of the channel for I think over 3 years and your artworks never cease to amaze and inspire me, your artstyle is so clean and pretty and I wish I could draw half as good as you, and your videos always pop up at the right time to pull me out of my art block and motivate me to start working on my projects
This was the fastest I've ever subscribed to anyone. Usually when I look at videos like, their voice is so jarring. Yours is so calming and I feel like I can actually learn from you without a headache.
Fast enough that my tiny mouse adhd brain doesn't zone out and get bored, while soft enough that I my tiny mouse brain doesn't have to fuck with the volume for 45 minutes
I just started using clip studio and your previous videos have been a massive help. And now this comes out and it’s so perfectly timed! Congrats on 3rd place!
Wow.. This is really amazing. Can't wait for a full published work!!!
The editing in this makes it so easy to follow 😊
This might be your best video yet, and you have an impressive catalog!
This was amazing! Keep it up!
Happy to see you upload again, been a while since I’ve last seen your content !
And congrats on winning third place, that’s pretty sweet !! ^^
Oooooohhh my god! My heart! It hurts! This was so good!!! The sound effects are awesome.
New video! As soon as I get over my months long art block! The special interest gods have smiled upon us today. And congratulations on 3rd place as well!!
Damn, dude, you are a legend. This is incredible and you should be proud, this looks professionally made by like a team of people, you absolutely deserve the prize! The story also just straight up punched me in the guts so I'd say you nailed the theme. Thank you so much for always sharing your creative process with us, I find it super inspirational and helpful 💖💗
AAAAHHH this was so good and inspiring!! Thank you!
I’m always so impressed by the dedication to these videos and art I’ll always see your channel as a top personal favorite to re watch for hours! 🎉❤
Just watching this was an absolute treat. I feel like you don't credit yourself enough with how BREATHTAKING this looks! I mean my jaw dropped so many times just watching everything come together. It made me admire the creativity and the sheer EFFORT this all took to assemble. I'm just completely stunned. INCREDIBLE job my dude WOW.
I love your art so much
and congrats to 2nd place! Must've been nerve racking when waiting for the results!
Congrats! Loved the character designs and was very impressed with the last pannel. Also, great video. U are incredibly inspiring and super soothing. Thanks
You are not only a fantastic illustrator, but your video editing and writing skills are also so very impressive. Everything you do is so clean and thought out. I am impressed by your accomplishments, especially considering your young age.
