@Easton Jaime Yo, I literaly saw both of you comment this EXACT thing on a different video a few days ago. Literally, "hey, dunno who cares, but I hacked my gf account using this website' and then 'WoAh! It WoRkS!' Stupid bots.
From an illustrator with 30 years experience, let me preface one point he makes. He talks about how much ink to put on the nib. That document ink is very thick and its flow is slow. So you don't need to use the "breather hole," aka "Gravity well," or "vent." However, if your ink is runny/watery, you need to cover the nib until the gravity well is covered. Otherwise, you'll make one stroke and have to dip again, costing you valuable time. Also, what he didn't cover is preparation of the nib. Modern-day nibs may or may not have a protective coating. Vintage nibs do. You must remove this coating prior to use or the flow will fail. The easiest method is to dip the pen in ink and wipe it off, two to three times. You will know it is ready when the ink coats the pen like paint and does NOT bunch up into balls. Under NO circumstance should you use a match or lighter. Applying heat to the point ruins the temper of the metal. It will cause the point to break or corrode faster than intended.
I just run my nibs through a quick dip in acetone when fresh. I also rinse my nibs once with water and then with acetone after drying to both remove water and get rid of any of the "waterproof" ingredients in India ink.
Samurai Manga School used to do this: Make a tutorial -> Give homework for audiences -> Accept critique/review fans homework = More idea and content for videos. This is a good video tho.
Being a manga artist seems like a fun job and a great hobby you would enjoy to do as a job. But its pretty difficult as there are many more better artists out there than you especially as a beginner at your job with only a gist and skill of it. It is frustrating when you just can get the character right or make small point you feel like giving up.
It's fun, but it's also an extremely competitive business that has an intense schedule. I mean, it varies by manga artist, and when you prove yourself, you get more leeway (like Miura with Berserk being allowed huge spans of time off), but like if I recall correctly, Eiichiro Oda (of One Piece) only gets I think 2 hours of sleep a night and the rest is spent constantly working? if not 2, then 4 hours, but it's something insane like that.
@@annelise6236 i thought he meant that he only gets the character design right and other better artist make a whole chapter or nice compositions in that time... and that is frustrating...
Hello Manga Senpai, I really appreciate all the English translations for all the extremely helpful videos, these really helps us people who cannot understand Japanese. You really deserve much more subscribers. Thank you! 💙
Thank you so much for this episode. When i was young, i always wondered how this thick pretty lines between thin lines are made which makes the whole manga illustration attractive, then when i saw that they used fountain pen i was more confused. its not easy to use fountain pen but this video will always help me whenever i make illustrations. thank you again.
Here is an idea, you should do some art critique/reviews to the subscribers at some point. I'd love to know if i have a chance at becoming an artist in the future
There is no such thing as having a starting talent. It's just your determination and practice. Like really, anyone can learn how to draw decently enough...
My issue was I was being too impatient. It looks like you were very careful and cautious about each and every line you drew. :) thank you for the tutorial!
This is the first time I'm seeing a video from this channel and I directly subscribed! The video js so informative, fun and cute. I'll watch other videos when I have time. I hope you gain a lot more subscribers ^^
This is all great advice and I really need to grab a Posca for my inking process along with finding a good correction fluid that is easy to find locally and not "way too damn white" since it is mostly geared towards writing paper which is bleached and brightened far too much.
I draw with some normal sign pen and pencil , I do love this tutorial because even though I don't have experience in G pen or what ever you call that thing . I am learning from you so thanks please do more tutorial . I dont really think I'll be a manga artist coz im already 23 y/o now and very late to gamble at that career but whenever I have my free time I do my manga page , yeah I do manga for a hobby I do have a story even though I don't really study literature but whenever I read the dialogue its not cringy so i think its fine 😂 anyway thank you for this now I have Idea in the stuff that mangaka use. I really do want to pursue this career but its hard to gamble at this late age hope aspiring kids outhere pursue their dream ealier .
@@roiichi6258 hi roo, I'm actually going for it , gonna pursue my dream in animation industry I will be having my training start in 3 weeks from now wish me luck friend actually I'm very nervous because I think my skill is not good enough but I hope i can make through and hopefully become a pro someday and maybe one day I get to work at japan even tho they have this issue about low salary rate To be honest I don't really care as long as I can do what I love . So wish me luck .
@@dvit259 oh my god! That made me so happy, seeing someone go that far for their dreams. I hope you achieve your dream! Im a manga artist too and i hope to be a professional Mangaka one day. Good luck for you!
@@roiichi6258 we just keep going , then maybe one day we can be a pro on our field , keep doing your manga and hopefully I will have the chance to read one of your work ,
I love most styles of art. But I think I love anime the most. It's a mix of realistic and cartoon. Which I love! My favourite anime are: Attack On Titan, The promised neverland, SerVamp, Soul eater, Seven deadly sins, Naruto, Bleach. And it's cool to compare the mangas to the shows and movies. And also.. I love these videos too!!
Hello Manga Senpai :-) i have a question. How often we need to clean/wash our pen nib? Thank you in advance. I love all of your video, it really helped me a lot. Love from Malaysia
They are pretty easy to find... Just go to your local store or order one online. For ink I would recommend you start with black ink and then use other colours too, you can add water to your ink too to create different shades of grey (fifty shades of grey lmao).
I am from Brazil and dreaming to be a Brazilian mangaka. I watched this video to learning about how to use G-pen. And I love it. But, what advice you could give me? please!
Hi I love your Contents and it's very easy to understand that is why I stick to your video BUT CAN I ASK SOMETHING?? I Want to create a comic instead of Manga bcuz I just don't fit making manga storyboard I JUST WANT TO ASK if can I make a Western comic But in manga/japanese art style???? I want to make sure cuz what if I made something that could disrespect the manga artist or community I just want this question to be answered ASAP
I can only guess how much effort went through creating vagabond and berserk as a manga I mean no offense but it's seems the character here drawn by sensei here is good but it's not that detailic but damn just look how much time he needs to even do a single character...either way it's very admirable.
Questions: 1. Is it okay to just get a normal fountain pen and get the sperate g-pen nib? Because currently that's all I can find in the closest stores near me. 2. Is there a specific ink required or can you use any fountain pen ink? 3. Does anyone know a UK supplier that sells reasonably priced, good quality pens and paper for manga artists?
I'm not too sure but I beleive Amazon has some Zebra and Tachikawa products, they have some proper ink too, but it gets a bit pricey, they do paper aswell
What are the brand names of each of the white out, and white pen he is using? It’s in Japanese so I can’t read. Anybody know the names of them, and where I can order those offline. I prefer doing manga and comic art the old fashioned way.
I'm having a big issue I just cannot solve :c I wonder how you do with your erasing . My eraser always smudge so the drawing gets dirty. It also erase the ink....... (I'm using foam eraser with Bristol paper and g pen..)

Yeah unless you're working with shounen jump than your work schedule mirrors Chinese sweat shop with about 4 hours per week of free time.

Wow you guys are amazing!!!!
Keep it up and high
Thank you very much for this video! You earned a sub for me for being so fun and informative to watch!
I loved your English😅😍
What kind of paper are you using? Great video by the way very informative! Also what Pen Holder and Nub and ink are you using?
Probably a zebra g nib
this video helped me on my struggles with my G-pen... the mangaka is so funny lol
Excelent
Now I'm curious what she looks like. Hahahaha
Thank you~~~
"Short finger"
"Little finger"
I can't speak for Britain or Australia, but here in America we say "pinky" :).
The sound of the G pen made me wanna grind my teeth together 💀 but apart from that senpai~ is so talented
5:30 it took 25 strokes to draw that eyebrow. Is that what my problem has been all aloung? I would try to do it in 5 strokes.
I like the anime sketch. ❤️, and I like the girls' laughter.
Great video. Subscribed. Please tell me, what paper do you use? What paper is that?

Hi i really want to know which ink you are using? Is it a thic one or a think one? Thanks
I usually like to ink from jaw line because i know i will have to change the hair after every 3 seconds
Hello Manga Senpai :-) i have a question. How often we need to clean/wash our pen nib? Thank you in advance. I love all of your video, it really helped me a lot. Love from Malaysia
I would say clean it right after u use it bc the ink drys and the ink doesn't flow as well
👑
I was struggling to understand w/ my broken Japanese and then I realize the subtitles lol
Uhh I want to ask a question. Does that G pen is also called as Fountain pen? If yes, are they need the ink just like you did in the video?
They are pretty easy to find... Just go to your local store or order one online. For ink I would recommend you start with black ink and then use other colours too, you can add water to your ink too to create different shades of grey (fifty shades of grey lmao).
I believe G Pens rely on ink from external sources but fountain pens have internal ink. I might be wrong though.
I understand better here rather than some random art course.....
I am from Brazil and dreaming to be a Brazilian mangaka. I watched this video to learning about how to use G-pen. And I love it. But, what advice you could give me? please!
For some beginners this rough sketch is already the pencil lineart.

Can't we draw without g pen or standard paper? Because here it's hard to get those supplies.

Where can g pens be bought in japan?
I thought he is kishimoto Sensei

Do artist still draw manga like this? Honestly it looks way better
👁️the pen sounds denger
For some reason my g pen tends to just stop inking when I just dipped. It my lines just come out scratchy.
Months late but use rubbing alcohol on new nibs to remove a coating the manufacturer puts on them. It will make the ink flow better.
@@justintanner9047 Took me a year to respond but thanks lol
What is the name of the pen how would you search it in Google is what I'm asking?
グニャングニャンとはどういう意味ですか
What pen is this ?
Did he just say hello worldo Dio
