@@Millicomics I feel like there should be a place where mark crilley fans can exchange their comics and manga 🤔 I would love to see what everyone makes
Ok Mark, THIS is getting scarry. Yesterday evening I was thinking to myself that a video about Panel Size would be really cool. 1 day later, here we are... creepy (No joke im serious xD). Maybe theres another good topic about panels: What part of an action should make it into a panel? For example in an action sequence, which "frames" do you draw into a panel and which ones do you skip for the reader to connect in his/her head?
Nykusu Can I recommend a great book about this? It’s called Framed Ink, from Marcos Mateu-Mestre. It’s about composition but has a lot of info about really telling the story with your composition. He also features a lot of action scenes and how to set them up.
All I have to say I've been watching this incredible man since I first saw his how-to videos back in 2010 when I was like 12 I'm now 21 and his art amaze me every time still he's one of the reasons I love making comics today
Same it's crazy I was just wondering what happened to that dude who did how to draw anime and I also remembered something about miki(miki falls) and than I looked up Miki anime book and it popped up👍
Just read the first 3 chapters, I like it so far! While we got people plugging their stuff, I have a webtoon too it's called Starforce O, I would love if anyone interested would check it out
I think it's also important to note that the panel size dictates how long the reader will naturally end up lingering on the depicted moment. The larger the panel, the longer the moment lasts.
When I say "the longer the moment lasts" I don't mean in real time, but in terms of how long it'll feel. A large panel of a thrown fist will make it feel like time is slowing down, it's the medium's equivalent of slow-motion, whereas the reader's eye will fly quickly over the smaller panels as if the depicted moments are very fleeting.
I like it where, on occasions, the art or the speech bubbles overspill their panel. I guess, in practice, that means the panel is drawn slightly smaller than the space on the page would actually allow. It's a great variation, alongside non-rectangular shapes, and different tessellations used to fill the page.
Oh, this is awesome timing! For a while now, I've had an idea for a graphic novel series and I've been practicing drawing so I can draw it the way I want. This helps a lot in plotting things out. For some reason, I hadn't even thought about having roughed-out pages on cheap paper -- I just thought that I'd sketch stuff out on the same page I'd be finishing stuff on. Thanks for the amazing video as always, Crilley!
Starting my comic today and this video has been super helpful! Thanks for this. It answered all the questions I had about panel sizing and how it should relate to the dialog.
I start with 2x3 for 6 evenly sized panels and then adjust from there. Some I "Slash" through [ / ] for reactions, others I make larger, or stand out of frame, small subpanels in the upper corner of the main, and double wide for cinematic 'establishing shots'.
Has been a while since I watched your videos, but I enjoyed it through !! Thanks for everything mark!!! You were the one who helped me realise my inner potential in art!! Keep up the amazing work !!
Hey mark, I just wanted to say that when I was first getting into art and drawing manga and writing comics, your videos were the things that inspired me and taught me the most. I remember watching your videos every Friday and looking forward to seeing what advice and silly jokes you had for me next. Even as the years go by and I have unfortunately not caught your videos as frequently, I still look back fondly on those times when I watched your videos religiously. Even watching this video now gives me a feeling of warmth remembering the good old days. Thank you mark and keep up these videos because I’m sure there’s plenty more people left for you to inspire.
Am making a short comic book for my college talent event, this is my first time wish me luck!! i've been a long time viewer mark, you are a great help now!!
*TIMESTAMP **3:22* Mark, could you, please, do a tutorial on how you drew the artwork on the *LEFT* page? I always struggle with perspective involving arcs and circles -- anything round, really. Knowing how you approached *_this_* particular artwork would be most helpful and very graciously appreciated. Of course, I am aware that this would fall under the category of "fairly simple" -- to say the least -- but at times it is those simple elements in life that can stumble even a seasoned artist. Besides, I may not be the only one experiencing this particular nudnik and a fellow Criller would also find your time spent enlightening. Thank you.
The timing, haha! Just when I need it so much~😄 I just finished my draft for the first chapter and wasn't happy with the size of panels. Thank you for advices, Mark! 😊 Gonna redraw some parts now
Another fantastic video! 😍👌🎨 Mr. Crilley, thank you soooo much for sharing so much helpful advice and stuff on your channel here! I can't even put into words how much I appreciate your work!
I love all these examples! The panel size influences the feel of the panel so much. Much negative space in large panels can really slow down the pace of the story. Thanks for the reminder of making space for the important moments or where we need to slow down a little. I still have a tendency to cram too much in one page. Gotten much better lately, but coming from always reading big European albums, I really had to get used to webcomics, because they need to still be read on mobile and the balloons need to be readable on mobile, too. So I really needed to use fewer panels because they were getting too crammed (and then also dialogue heavy) for the web.
Your one of the best youtube teachers ive ever come across and you give me hope that one day i may too have a published manga. Also i bought your Mastering Manga books and its great :D
Thanks for this video, it's really helpful and it definitely goes in my favorite playlist to be sure I don't lose it ! x) Hey ! Ici la PandaFactory ! Si vous êtes en manque de contenus artistiques français sur RUclips, n’hésitez pas à venir nous suivre. Arts, gaming et positivité, c’est par ici !
Would it be a good idea to use different fonts for different characters? Of course not for all of them but e.g. for one chara whose speech style is really special/different/stands out. Or maybe different fonts for different species?
M_ALI_04 For a more realistic comic, like Mark’s, I’d say to work on the fundamentals: Anatomy, poses, composition, perspective, (colour if you’re colouring, too) and inking. If you’re also doing the story, then storytelling is very important! There’s great books and websites on the subject (I recommend starting with Invisible Ink) This basic work never ends, though, and it can keep you stuck in the never ending cycle of “I’m not ready yet”. We’re always improving and that never stops. So I’d also say to just start making comics, even if you don’t really know what you’re doing yet. They’re the best way to improve your fundamentals and to learn how to make comics. (And read a lot of comics to look at things to improve) It’s how I learned. :)
I'd say solid knowledge of perspecrive, anatomy, composition, shading, "camera angles", speech bubble placement, character design, etc. If you are also the writer, you're gonna need good story-telling skills - pacing, setting, character development, flow, worldbuilding, etc.
Quick question, I have a solid idea for a comic that is basically a string of jokes like in the funny page. My issue is something the writers group brought up called first publishers rights or something. I was wondering if I should make some jokes for the internet and some for the book or put all the jokes in a book until it's ready for publishing.
Damn I hadn't noticed the three row thing, I've done a one-shot and have been working on a longer story for a while and most pages really have been three rows, a few only two
What sizes they shouldn't be for web comics: large swathes of white oceans and constant scrolling to take up space on every single page. Exceptions: none. A single page or two to demonstrate the vastness of the setting or object is different than the whole place being scroll simulator. I'm looking at you webtoon and other obscure comic sites...
Different publishers use different sizes but no matter what the publishing size is, the artist almost always draws at a larger size. Just make sure that the ratio of length to width is the same. I can't recall off the top of my head at what size Mark usually works on but there are other comic artists who share that type of information. Look for your favorite artists' social media and hopefully that gives you a good start.
Ahhh i JUST started drawing a comic and hit a wall with this! Thanks so much for coming to the rescue!!
dude same!
bambidays Super exciting! Good luck!
Good luck with your comic 😊 I hope you have a lot of fun 😄

"0 dislikes"
Perfectly balanced, as everything should be."
1 now :(
Surely "perfectly balanced" would be equal likes and dislikes. Not that I'd wish it on anyone.
I must be late, over the course of 3 months it now has 4 dislikes. Which is also kinda insane
Lol, 3 m subs and 22 k views, so balanced, NOT SUBBOT

same!
My general rule of thumb is that the more important the frame, the larger it is
I remember when I drew manga for the first time with this man like 10 years ago... thank you
😲
I just started a Webtoon so I needed this. It's called Black Academy for anyone interested in reading it
sweet I'm starting a manga/webtoon as well!
@@heysaxia What's it called/ going to be called?
Just read the first 3 chapters, I like it so far! While we got people plugging their stuff, I have a webtoon too it's called Starforce O, I would love if anyone interested would check it out
That's awesome, i'm planning on creating my own comics when i become more experienced
@@jaikthesnake6285 Cool story. I read the the first four chapters you put out and subbed. Wanna see chapter 5

This guy's been on youtube for more than a decade and yet still makes great content and refuses to be a sellout. You're a g, Mark!
Oh wow, I just got memories of watching your videos allllll the time when I was in middle school!
This is so helpful thanks mark!

Good job for using play lists
Im amazing how many youtubers dont use them effectivly (or at all lol)
I hope I'll be able to draw as good as you someday!
Keep it up!
I had no idea I needed this video! A perfect answer to a question I didn’t even know I had
You’ve helped me so much! If I’m ever successful, you are the one that helped me become so.

Can u make a tutorial in forshorting and design a anime character in prospective..it will be greatful to me

The panel needs to be small enough to fit on the page. You are welcome ;p
Spuckler reminds me of Abe Lincoln
Plz tell how to make comics
I have a question⁉️:
( Why not digital ?)
I want to make a manga but not in the traditional way (waste of time, money..extra). Is it Okay??
