“I even tried making comic books in illustrator.” *nervous sweating*

9:00 SAVED MY ENTIRE LIFE suddenly my crops are flourishing and I am getting adequate sleep bless you

That transparency lock ... I wish I knew about that 3 years ago. Also, I had no idea the selection had a contraction option.

Yo, that shading technique BLEW MY EFFING MIND!! To think I would go about it the long way, by color picking the individual colors, and then choosing a darker hue to paint in the areas to be shaded. Now that I have been exposed to this method, I'm never utilizing such a cumbersome method again! Even the way you setup the panels was really streamline and efficient. Good shite!

Thanks dude, I wish I learned this in college. I'm a digital media major and 90% of my classes were either coding or math classes :( Hardly any art related content

Im completely self taught. I loved this tutorial because it showed me everything I was doing right, and everything I was doing "wrong" (ie, yo there is a way faster way to do what you're doing.) Thank you so much, I'm so happy and motivated right now- I'm almost positive I just shaved 1 hour of time on all my future comics.

Dude making a comic page for “MerMay” this year. This helped tremendously, thank you.

oh my god this whole video blew my mind. i've been wating so much time correcting little mistakes. thank you for this video. it's by far the most useful that i've ever seen

You're a great teacher. Thanks for sharing your technique, it's pretty smart.

thanks for the tips! i especially love the cell shading technique you use. it's a time saver for sure.

THANK YOU SO MUCH!! sequentials have always been my achilles heel! not after this video!! you broke it down in a simple way that i could follow and i'm thankful!! you gained a new follower!

This helped me make my first comic, thank you!

That lock transparecy effect BLEW MY MIND , I subbed just because of that , thanks

I'm so glad I clicked on this video! There were so many small shortcuts that could've saved so much time in the long run. Thanks for making this!

It's a very good video. Super time saving. I'm an amateur and starting from the bottom. I've been in that time-consuming method phase and I've been in intermediate phase. I think, now, it's time for me to polish my technique and my own style. Thank you for teaching. ☺️

Fantastic information, even after nearly a decade. Thanks much! I'll have to poke around and see what other tips/tricks you've posted since, haha.

Thank you so much! Can't wait to get started on my comics

Fantastic. I've been using CS2 for donkeys years and you've just shown me something invaluable that I never knew. Thanks.

just starting off with comic and this was just what i need to get me going really appreciate the demonstration

Excellent tutorial, everything we need to start drawing a comic book!

Superb. I'm a slow ...visual learner, so I lowered this brilliant man's video speed to .75 to have more time to follow his step by step instructions. I love this guy. Thanks helpful KZfaq video making artist guy. :-D This really helped me take my skills up a notch. Very grateful slow learner here. Subscribed!!!

So much great info. Jesus. I've used Photoshop for more than a decade it seems, and half these tricks absolutely blew me out of the water.

ngl this is one of the most helpful art videos I've ever watched. Thank you

this is so awesome. ty ty so much for sharing this. just what I needed. .I'm in the process of creating this Anime comic book. my first 1..I'm had no idea the saturation part where u added shadows was another way of adding that. I know you also could put a darker color near the brighter color but had no idea. I'm re-learning photoshop. appreciate it!😄😆😅💪👍✋

Thank you for this! I honestly thought it would be a whole different (and complicated) process. This really helps and I can't wait to put this knowledge to use. :D

This is GOLD! Thank you, helped me out a ton!

Will be starting my web comics, this is an awesome video! Thanks bro

This is exactly what I needed. Before I always used the lasso tool and colour everything manually

Best video on this subject I've seen so far

Its so well and simply explained 🙏thank you

I recently got photoshop and this was so helpful, because I've been so confused for the past week.

Awesome tips here. Thanks so much for sharing your skills!

Best video on this topic, very helpful. Thank you.

Best short tutorial ever. Many thanks!

Lots of great info here. Thanks for sharing your process.

This is so well done, thank you so much!

WOW THIS IS JUST FANTASTIC. Thank you! I will try to watch this video as many times as possible so i can learn everything!

This was simple and cool thanks bro!

This is exactly what I was looking for!!.. thanks =)

This was quite helpful thanks. I was struggling to find a good way to set up panels and this helped.

I'm an amateur hobby artist, but I'm glad to see I already knew all of these tricks :D

Omg this is the exact video I've been searching for. You talk on all the right things. Thank you!

Thanks Man, very informative ..... now i try to create my comics by photoshop

Omg tysm for sharing those!!!! This is a such a big life saver!! Can't wait to start my comic!

This video saved my senior year project, THANK YOU!

THANK YOU SO MUCH. THIS WAS EXACTLY WHAT I NEEDED RIGHT AT THIS VERY MOMENT. YOU ARE A GODSEND.

Wooow! This was an amazing tutorial. I am new at making comics, so I wanted to learn how to make good comics, and how to make them digitally as well. Thanks!

Thank you this have been very helpful

I kept trying to figure out who you look like every time I watched your videos and I FINALLY figured it out Mike from Friends!! Ugh took me months lol great tutorials btw much appreciated

This was great. Thanks for sharing 👌🏻

very well done... i will be using a few of the techniques straight away

This is a slower version of the way I work... I use clip studio. Put all the inking and pannel boarders into one folder and set that to refference layer. Next, I have a fill bucket that reffers ONLY to the refference layer and automatically overflows by 3 pixels set to a shortcut key. Now I just swap to whatever layer I want to work on, pick a base colour, and while holding down the shortcut key, start clicking everywhere I want that colour. easy as pie.

You are helping me so much❤️

12:53 NICE word bubble technique!

You are amazing!!! Loved the video. Thank you.

Great tip with transparency lock.

Wooow thanks so much !!

I'm working on comics using renders from Poser, and transferring them into frames, and you just made my life 100x easier, thank you!

Awesome! I didn't know about that "alt-click" trick to mask lines going off from a shape below. BTW, enjoying my lessons from the Character Design Course :) I'll send you some feedback later on as work is getting in the way ATM :)

Thank you!!! It is really mind blowing! I really learned a lot from your video, yes and I almost wanted to do it on Illustrator haha. I am glad I watched your video first thing before start, and now I am gonna proceed to try Photoshop!

Really good explanation!!!!! 💪❤️

OMG, this saved me so much time and so many layers.

This video was soooo helpful omg

Thank you so much for the tips ♥

Super helpful! Thank you!

A gold mine, thank you so very much!

Hey, thanks for posting the super helpful video! ^^ cheers

this is fantastic. thank you so much

This is amazing... amazing tutorial... ty..

That’s even some serious useful work!

I didn't know that the pencil tool wouldn't create that line! You have made my life SO....MUCH....EASIER! Thank you. And before I hated those ugly lines that pencil tool made. Now they are my friend.

This process is so efficient, thank you for sharing your methods! I use some of them in my usual process already but still was able to learn something new. But real questions asked, for how long has there been an eliptical marquee tool in PS?? I feel so lame now LOL! 😂😂😂 I've been using this program for like 15 years and still not a single day passes by without learning something new 😅

Thank you for making this tutorial! I draw about 3 comics per day at school, and I've decided to digitize them so this really helped!

Thank you very much....you are great...keep it up....❤️❤️❤️

Thanks a lot. Keep posting more videos. It helps

6:06 how to do that when I have the layers in a group?

Very cool tut and highly useful! And it can be translated into almost any graphic software. (I use Krita myself) Thank you!

Very use tricks. Thanks.

Brilliant!

Is photoshop the best adobe application to draw the comics?

Omg!! I have been drawing comics for a couple years now and the tip at 6:00 is what I've been looking for! Thanks for the tips. :)

My only suggestion would be an alternative to the clipping mask approach approach for the the panel border bit. Instead of turning every single drawing layer into clipping masks, place all the page's panel drawings in a group (which I call the 'page layout' group), ctrl click the layout layer making a selection of the panel boxes, then create a layer mask on the group containing all the panels and their respective drawings. You'll get the same results sans the hassle of clipping all the drawings above the panel layout layer. Plus, it's nice being able to tidy up and compartmentalize all the layers into nice panel groups for each page! But once again, I'd say this video is still one of the top most informative and useful vids on setting up a comic, coloring, and shading there is, and I've watched a TON!! I'm surprised when I see people take the most pointless, cumbersome, and complicated approaches to things that can be done in 2 steps, achieving the same results. You're the man, keep it up!!

HI, any trick to create a template as vector for panel boxes, specially for vertical and horizontal... I know how to use the path tool and the marquee, but I prefer to be organize. I would like to print my pages , however I am afraid of aliasing .

can or did create a video showing how to do it in illustrator... I wud love to see how u do it

how do you add lines to your box edges?

thanks man, very big help.

Is there a way to make the cut lines the same size?
