@thugwillywonka 2 жыл бұрын

I started creating ideas for a manga of my own because of how much I watch your videos I realized I'm capable. Thank you a lot and hoping that volume one will be out in like 4 to 5 years because I'm not the best at drawing and I'll need time to practice. Thanks for creating amazing content for new manga creaters who have always had a dream to make manga. Me along with others thank you. It's not going to be a short story it's going to be a long story. I don't really know what it's going to be called but I have came up with multiple character ideas tho. I can't wait to make this an actually series. And I definitly couldn't do it without your videos. Sano is like my favorite manga/anime character and I really want you to make Apple Black an anime. Also of you reaf this I was wondering how long does a manga take for you.

Your channel has been a major inspiration for my own personal work Whyt Manga! Originally I started out trying to make a standard Marvel/DC style comic. After watching My Hero Academia I felt compelled to read some manga and then I stumbled on your channel while searching KZfaq for tips. I feel like I've finally found the style my comic was always supposed to be in, finally released issue 1 of my comic The Laughstronauts and I'm pretty happy with the end product.

Depression came in my teen years and I burned all the stuff I drew and painted. Now 20 years later, I’m like, a part of me was murdered by my weak mind. Now I’m trying to bring back from the dead what I loved to do. Sucks. I hope I encourage my kids to keep the fire burning for their passion

Your channel is amazing man I've been watching most of your videos since I've decided to do a small manga I'm fairly good at writing but my problem lies in drawing with anatomy ,perspective and proportion.Your videos do help in granting me knowledge but for some reason smthing goes wrong when I try to put it into practice but for now I'm just going to keep writing and make some torso up character designs.One last thing though could you possibly do an arm tutorial.
