A clickbait title that contains actually useful and insightful tips within? That's illegal, sir.

in this modern age i make a fast sketch on paper then take a picture and send to my pc to do the rest.

11:21 "2020 lets rock this stuff.." oh my the optimism of January

Not only was the content helpful, but it wasn’t all recycled ideas that I’ve heard before. Great examples worked in too! It’s cool to see a creator take an honest look at their own work :)

Reference is so good! I do pics using myself, my family, heck i've even made a model of a room using a shoebox and random items so I could keep track of a character's room arrangement

I love your channel, you're just a genuine dude who is passionate about comics! Thank you for all of this great content.

I was so surprised to see this didn't have more views! I guess comic making on youtube is kinda a niche culture. I thought the video was super well put together, to the point, and very helpful. I was drawing during the video and was super zoomed in right as you said not to do that haha that's irony.

Depending on what software you use, you can actually have 2 views on screen: 1. Zoomed out to the full page and 2. Zoomed in on what details you're working on. Illustrator has this option, and Blender's Grease Pencil function too. That way you don't have to constantly switch between views.

I like your studio set up.

Hey thank you for this man. I love learning as much as I can about drawing in comics. Hope one day I’ll be able to do it full time 👍🏼

Great video!! I’m definitely gonna practice backgrounds more for when I start illustrating the pages of my comic

really great video- loved the examples you showed and options you gave to help correct them. thank you for your honesty!

Zoom thing is a very good point. It took me a while to figure out that it’s is not working. I also create comics but for me it was something I learned when I first started drawing digitally. Traditionally you are limited by paper texture and size of a pen. But damn you can zoom in digital! 😂 Great video! :)

Thank you for sharing!✨ Will keep this in mind when I work on my comic Saga Blott 😃

I've found that you need to take advice on comics with a light heart. People get silly with advice. My favorite for instance is, "Don't draw the speech bubbles and text boxes traditionally by hand." Why? If you can do it good enough? People are misusing art digitally like in your first advice point putting emphasis on background characters more than foreground characters. In my point, people are using digital art to imitate poorly drawn speech boxes and text bubbles like it's cool. Um no, I can do that by hand. I also letter fully traditionally by hand with out tools so I'm a big rebel and advocate for comic creating. A "pro" lookin at my work one time said, "you're doing everything wrong going against all the guidelines" not in a it looks bad sense but in a no-no sense, then he said, "but you do it very well" And that's when I broke away from that group and put even more effort into doing things the wrong way.

Hey, Thank you for putting this up (I’m only a year late to see it!) Hopefully I can learn from your mistakes and save some time with my work. Every tip is solid, not too many at once, given enough time to make them clear but not so much to muddle them.

lol .. wow, this is great! I take multiple ref photos of myself with my phone and photoshop them into a group photo if I'm having trouble with drawing a certain page or panel. I honestly thought I was the only person to do this, but I reckon if I have an idea to do something then 100 other artists probably beat me to the punch! Fantastic video, thanks.

Awesome tips, man! I've being thinking on doing a webcomic of an old ideia, just found your channel, keep it up!

Loved I found your channel!! I really like your art ^^ Thanks for the video, which left me with lots to think about especially regarding the detail. I had to correct the establishing shot, that was a great mistake I constantly used to make, so loved you hammered down on that!

Great tips for creators, artists and anyone who wants to be a comic book artist. Thanks!

Love to see you back. Keep it up!!!

I actually came here to find out more about you and your work and to see if perhaps you shared some of that knowledge to help others draw great like you do.

I'm starting out and this really helps. Thanks!

Thank you for the video! It was really useful. :) I need to improve my paneling and establishing shots, and this information was practical. I hope to start applying it immediately. Cheers!

Good looking out, Big Bro! This helps. 👌🏾👍🏾✊🏾

Nice tips bro, really helpful. Thanks for share this info.

Very helpful! I had to come back and look at it Once again

I always thought I wasn't zooming in *enough* (I basically never do), so the first tip was a pleasant surprise!

Great content! thank you for the tips.

I am late to this video but it helps a lot right now. :) thank you! I especially liked the part with treating backgrounds like characters.

Great tips, man. Keep on the edutainment!

MUITO GRATO, your work is amazing, thank you very much for this video, helps a LOT!

Really informative! Thank you

Thank you for the honest legit information sir as I am working on running my own studio someday and am working on my own projects

Really appreciate this video, just subbed 👍🏻

thanks for this vid! it's very helpful!

Thank you for this Video!

Insightful!! Thanks

Great advice!

This Video has helped me so much !!!

lmao, i was litterally working on art and started to zoom in and the moment could have been perfect for him to yell at me "Stop zooming in!"

Great to see some new content from you! Your videos have invaluable info. Especially the clip studio stuff. I’m a full time illustrator and your clip tutorials have saved me hours upon hours of trying to figure things out for myself (especially page setup stuff). Looking forward to more videos!

Thank you, Mr. Drummond.

This was genuinely useful, I have CSP for IPAD, if you are looking for any vid requests, maybe some efficiency and work flow advice for files, creating comics start to finish, and your personal process would be amazing. Best of luck in 2021

This is a really great, quality video!

Really excellent video! I am doing the world buildning, story line and character references for my first webtoon. It is fun but very difficult at the same time. I took note of all the things you said. But I do like a little more sketchy feel (ref to what you said about backgrounds...). Like Mike Mignola. My definite house God together with Tardi and Enki Bilal. I know, I am very pretentious! Enki Bilal is hardly sketchy though...

Very honest, thanks

great advice

a little suggestion, keep the tips exclusive to the topic. things like "dont zoom in" "use reference" can be applied to digital art or art as a whole and not just comic panels. i was hoping to find more for composition of them, where the eye lays and flows. i got some useful things like establishing shot and dont skimp on backgrounds, but with the wasted time on my part for things i already know from other tutorials that tell me the same thing.

Now i reaaaaly want a studio

i got the same feedback lol on the zoom in why did i put so much information on my tiny explosions and not a lot in my faces lol, scarey drawing one establishing shot per page, backgrounds as characters is great notion,

Wonderful video with cool and really insightful tips. I am sure I'd be learning a lot from your Channel. Keep-up the great work brother. Josh

Nice video, thanks

Bro whut- "skimping out" and fkn around w/ all kinds of over-simplified, janky backgrounds behind really nice foregrounds has been a core comics tradition since the invention of comics. People would even photocopy photographs and take that posterized b/w and slap the background in there, so many ways that works great and I thought your basic janky background looked DOPE!! I can't stand detail in backgrounds, abstract atmospheric perspective is cooler to me, check out Samurai Jack as the ultimate example of just using basic cut-outs & texture for backgrounds, looks amazing. Cheers :)

thank you - you're very sincere - that matters

Am new to yur channel. I am stucked deeply inside yur channel. I subscribed in first look. Use ful channel

Photoshop has a perspective warp tool. Instant perspective. I recommend using a base shape or simple, perspective warping it to your needs, and then drawing over it to work out any of the funky spots.

Owww☹️ I was so happy listening to the tips and all information and suddenly you go all happy "2020 let's rock" 🥺💔 well...let's hope 21 goes better and 22 can make it up a little bit I loved your video, I'm learning to draw comics and today I'm making my first pages :') (I work on paper, with black marker and watercolor) Subscribed 👍✨☑️

this was a very interesting topic and very informative. by the way what about calling your channel (Scott draws, Scott draws comics, SDC or even comic Scott

Hey Scott... great channel. I have a CRISIS on one of my pages. I’m doing it old school analog. I screwed up one of the panels on a page. QUESTION. Can I literally cut the panel out and tape the correction together so I don’t have to redo the whole page?

great stuff sir. I have been working with CSP pro for a while now and I as it works fin. I am 9 pages into my own comic and although the work flow I have set up is easy,I keep hearing thing about EX that might save me some time. my two questions 1) would it be worth it to me to spend the extra 160 bucks for the upgrade or should I stick to what I know? 2) I have colored pages in CSP and in Photoshop In your opinion is it faster and cleaner if I stay in CSP or is exporting into Photoshop a better way to go? I do not have the cool actions in CSP like I do in PS but I'm afraid of things miss aliening when I go back to CSP

On your last Tip, using reference: I have the HARDEST time finding the exact pose i'm looking for by using google search even when searching for reference. What reference sources would you recommend? Trying to use CSP 3d models is not as easy as drawing from a reference picture.

Hiya Scott, it's sketchly5 from the instagrams. You told me to post my questions on here for you and I figured this was probably the best video to post them to. Right, I'm creating my first comic which is inspired by newspaper comic strips and silent films. So basically there's no dialogue, and the stories are told in traditional panels (Squares and rectangles). Rather than design a page with multiple panels and draw inside each of them, I customised each canvas to the shape of a square (1,000 x 1,000 px) and drew my art into them. My plan was to then import those panels - 6 per page - into a comic page. So far, so simple. Here come the questions... 1) Which of the borders on the comic page MUST I adhere to, and which can I ignore? 2) Trying to marry up the individual imported pictures, in terms of space between them, alignment, size, and placement on the page can be frustrating. Is there a way to create panels of a specific size which I can just import each image into directly? i.e. I'd like to create 6 panels on each page, to hold the 6 images, and they need to be correctly and evenly positioned. 3) (Probably the simplest question) A time saving question. If I have a character facing one direction and want to turn him around, is there a way to flip the image, rather than having to draw him again? My current (painstaking) method is to copy the character onto a new canvas, insert a symmetry ruler, draw over the original image, thus creating the mirror image on the other side of the symmetry ruler, then copy and pasting the mirror image back into the original work. Regret offering to help me yet? ;) Thank you, sir David

Question, I use Krita for drawing and I know nothing of DPI so I drew my first page and it’s auto set to 25.50” x 35.01” at 100 PPI, is that going to be too low of a resolution to print at like the comic standard sizing? And for my next pages what should I change on those auto settings before I start drawing? Sorry I’ve never seen this particularly covered anywhere 😂

Nice. But zooming in on paper is possible, either with glasses, depending on the strength of them or use a magnifying glas :) But good tip not zooming in too much digitally. totally agree. The other tips are good as well. Nice video.

For me, Japanese executes the best backgrounds, especially skyscrapers and buildings in night scenes. So much details!

You are welcome!

Hi! What do you think about using the realistic 3d aesthetics for comics? Thanks!

Can you start tutorials series of 2d animation? And 3d background used in anime

I don't use reference. The thing I should work on is to put less close ups in my drawings, I do traditional, and put my characters in close up perspective; but I should put them toward back a little bit so I can able to do backgrounds also. Thank you, that is helpful. I do my own backgrounds, I want to be able to make a comic that I can draw everything that could be shown instead of JUST my characters. So I like that tip, but not the reference part. 😁👍

I have a question, I have a mac book pro 2019 model. I overheard you talking about using 3D models and backgrounds which I think is a good idea to do. My question is I tried Blender but unfortunately, the bender software is not compatible with my new mac laptop, so are there any other 3D modeling software I can use other than Zbrush and Blender? I can use it for figure modeling for my drawings as a mannequin, that you know or suggest?

This is a question for any artist really when trying to learn anatomy specifically like just your drawings do you practice for like a year and then try to move on to something else involving anatomy? That is my current problem I have found time to practice but I do not know how long to stick on one thing before I move on to the next thanks

Dude, I wish I could double-like this video!

What are the sizes for a regular comic stript on the newspaper?

*currently drawing a cityscape* ....Maybe I'm over doing this with the perspective and obsessing that all these buildings need to look just so. I'll check out KZfaq and see if anyone has tips for not over-rendering a cityscape. *this video is the first search result* ...ok..guess I'm gonna go back to drawing that city. ✍️

I have a question: I'm creating a graphic novel in Clip Studio Paint. When I'm done with it, it'll roughly be around 200 pages. How do you save or work on a file that has so many pages without slowing the program down? Do you only do a certain number of pages with multiple files and then combine them all using a different program?

If you are drawing traditionally on paper for comics, are the drawings drawn at the actual size of the comic or are they drawn larger then scaled down when scanned? Trying to figure out what size of paper to start. Thanks in advance.

The perspective ruler in CSP is a royal pain in the a**. It flat out won't snap where I need it, and next thing I know there are 30 or 40 lines I don't want running everywhere. I can't seem to get a handle on this, so I don't use it.

Top, top advice. Consider me subscribed.

Imagine two comic writers or two manga writers went at it. One wrote only about the protagonist and the other about their antagonist. Has anybody ever done this before?

Great video. I’m a graphic designer who wants to learn comic art , I found all of these tips quite useful. Also nice studio space.

Your tutorial is awesome but why inactive?

Thank you so much dude 😊 have a good day

👏👏👏

👍👍👍👍

I'm 14 and bored. I had a lucid dream last night and then when I woke up I had an urge to write a comic about myself

Hi Scott. You probably won’t see this comment and that’s ok. I’m an artist that never read comics. Not a comic guy at all. But for some reason I have been drawn to comic illustration. I don’t know why but I love doing it. I’m hoping to make this my job.

Traditional inking is harder than digital inking in comics.

I unfortunately use traditional art. And it's kinda harder...

Don't stop the music, please. :(

I am an amateur comic artist (and video maker). I appreciate the information you are providing. But please don't use jump cuts between sentences when you are talking to your viewers/audience. It is really annoying and hard to watch because of the jerkiness of the cuts. It is jarring on my eyes. Far too many vloggers on You Tube use this editing technique to eliminate speech and visual mistakes they make but it just makes thing worse, visually. As for the zooming when drawing digitally, I agree. I don't use zooming. Instead, I draw the eyes and other features like the nose and mouth larger, next to the blank face, select them, scale them down to correct size and then paste them into the face. That is just a method that works for me because it is sometimes hard for me to draw eyes in regular size in proportion to the face.

I wish i could be a comic artist but i live in a 3rd world county

That's "phoning it in"??? This just gave me anxiety.

that first page you showed, wasn't detailed at all. was barely finished sketch

Mistake number 1... watching this video.

I've been binging your videos for two reasons: you're very helpful and you're also very hot 😳
