How to Make a ZINE in 24 Hours | riso + screenprinting

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 28 ก.ย. 2024
- It was a crazy day, making this zine in 24 hours! This is the sketching, illustrating and printing process, with a couple of mini struggles in between. I put together, mostly at home, with riso printing, and I printed the cover with silkscreen / screenprinting at the silkscreen studio (Miniprint Seoul). As hectic as it was, setting a deadline of 24 hours definitely helped me hustle to finish this zine---without getting stuck or being a perfectionist!
In this process video, I'll show you how to make an illustrated zine on a deadline. If you made a zine, what would it be about?
The finished zine is available on my shop at: www.kelbelter.c...

Hi kel!! I was wondering what brush you used for your drawings? I love your work!! thank you!
Hi! It’s the Rusty Nib brush set from True Grit Texture Supply, in this video. I also make my own brushes but those are some of my favorites!
What stylus pen do you use?
@@comradestannisit’s an apple pencil!

I'm in love with the zine. Your style is so cool! Love it!
Thanks so much Gabirél!
@@KelBelter A CULTURAL MARXIST ZINE?? Boring
this is amazing, you’ve inspired me to make my own small comic
Please please do! I'm sure you'll have a ton of fun with it~
I love how you're smiling all the time talking about your project❤️
your art is INCREDIBLE i'm truly in awe of your ideas and how you bring things together. just found your channel this weekend but am already a huge fan
Thank you so much Cari! These comments definitely make me feel motivated to keep making and editing videos, hope you don't mind that I'm a little slow haha. Happy new year from Seoul!
I thoroughly enjoyed watching this, I'm proud to own one of these zines HEHE
Thank you so much Mikie! Happy that you have one of the first ones~ I still have so much stapling ahead of me to finish the rest haha.
I love your process it’s brilliant and your work is beautiful. Thank you for this great video. So interesting.😊
My friend is getting married and they are a massive zinester it would make their day if they could get some blessings from some zinesters
blessings!
The cover illustration is absolutely stunning!
Thank you so much 🥰
wow! I just discovered your channel and love love love your art style 😍 Im so impressed by how you translated these creation myths into your style. can't wait to watch more of your videos ⭐
Crazy you made that in one day 😮
this is truly so amazing and inspiring! i’ve always wanted to make a little zine so maybe i will try one out soon🥰
Thank you so much Violet! Defintely go for it! Zines are so great because there's not so much pressure to make them perfect. What are you thinking of making your zine about?
@@KelBelter i’m still unsure about what i would make it about :( but i would really love to make one soon (since i am also struggling a little with my own art style/ voice and i think that making a zine could definitely help me explore!) i’ve never even tried to make one so i will definitely come back to this video a million times to try to figure out how to make it LOL
@@violetvane2766 You can do it! Sometimes it can help to think of something you're obsessed with/super into right now as a jumping off point. I'm sure you'll find your inspiration soon~
@@KelBelter thank u so so much!! also i wanted to ask what zine artists i could look into because i don’t know too many creators who make zines and would love to discover more!! 🤍🤍🤍 btw your zines are absolutely beautiful!!
@@violetvane2766 Ahh! sorry for the late reply--some of my favorite zine artists I've found through various small book presses--Studio Fidele, Knust Press and Perfectly Acceptable Press might be good places to start!
you are so talented 😍🥺 i wish i also have that kind of creative mind and skills in drawing!
Thank you Kou! I'm sure you're plenty creative--if you ever feel like drawing, you should totally go for it ^^
this was so fun to watch ⭐️ i love the hapticity of your process, through different mediums - finally emerging in a very cool and pretty zine 💫 i’m in awe
what is hapticity?
I think they intended to describe how hands-on it is, maybe describing how “haptic” it is. Hapticity I’ve heard of only in chemistry and only once or twice.
Tactility is a more common word that describes *probably* the same concept you’re trying to get to. I say probably cause I’m not a mind reader so if you don’t think it’s the right word then that’s totally fine 👍 just playing thesaurus over here lol
First video of yours I've watched, love the style, the shots, and the art. Definitely staying!
Thank you! Definitely more to come ^^
Nice staple hack for the saddle stitch
quite impressed how you have a riso machine at home but not a long arm stapler :D
Anyways I love the zine, absolutely gorgeous.
Priorities! Haha, I do have quite a few stapler options now :-)
You're truly an artist. Great content!
These are absolutely gorgeous!
Appreciate that so much!
Beautiful
your style is so crazy nice!!!
3 years late to see this, but it turned out so beautifully! Subscribing!
Thank you for subbing and for the lovely comment! ☺️
Stunning Zine. Thanks for sharing.
beautiful work
These are so good wish i could make these but i dont know how to do it hope you go more deep in this process
What part would you like to know/see? I'll keep it in mind for the future!
Thank you for sharing your process here!
Of course! Thanks for watching~
Absolutely beautiful 💙
I'm making a zine for the first time for a uni project (I'm a design/ art major). This video is so valuable!! I love seeing your process and I love your art style. For the lettering did you write it by hand or use typed text for reference and then trace on a different layer? Use guides?
Thanks for share your art. Beautiful 💎
i'm gonna make a zine right now!!!!
That text style reminds me of the 60s I wonder if i can find a similar style
It’s amazing
such a lovely zine! i have one question, though, how do you put your artwork altogether on one canvas with all the layers,and stuff?
Hi! I usually use Adobe photoshop or illustrator to arrange the pages! But you can use any image editing software to do it. I save my finished pages as jpgs and then arrange them on the correct paper size. If you don’t have Adobe, you can also use web editing apps like Photopea
@@KelBelterthanks a lot!
BRAVA!
I need to know what brush u used on procreate... it's perfect
A lot of the brushes I use in this video are from True Grit Texture Supply, the Rusty Nib brush pack :-) My favorites are called (I think!) the microliner, smooth liner, and round crispy pen.
omg I just discovered ur channel !! I just fell in love with ur artwork ! keep going ur amazing! and thanks for this video about zines, I'm going to make some for the first time soon so it was really useful ! (I'm French .. write in English u know... not perfect aha)
Thank you Zoe! Your English is perfect--I also have a couple second languages, so I totally get it haha~ I really hope that you have fun making a few zines--I'm about to quarantine for 10 days when I come back from traveling to my home country, so going to try to make a new one myself during the home time :-)
Love you illustration style 😍😍, may I ask what canvas size did you use for this zine and what brush/pencil??
lovely
Tenho achado interessante como a Riso oferece uma textura de impressão semelhante a uma litografia sendo que utiliza uma tecnologia semelhante a serigrafia.
hi your zine and this video is super inspiring! also, can i know what brush you used in procreate?
I really like the True Grit Texture Supply Rusty Nib brush set!
How do you prepare the pages for printing?
I arrange the finished illustrations in Photoshop or Illustrator. Just some simple alignment to make sure they fit. Nothing fancy
what kind of program did you use to draw on the iPad ?
I use Procreate!
I really love your skirt/dress! Do you mind sharing the details?
Of course! It's a bandana dress by Psychic Outlaw. Their instagram is @psychic.outlaw
Which procreate pencil are you using? :)
I mostly use the Rusty Nib set from True Grit Texture Supply in this video. My favorites are the micronib/smooth/round crispy brushes! Very much recommend that brush pack.
What stylus pen do you use?
Apple pencil, which came with my iPad Pro!
@@KelBelter It looks incredibly accurate, at least compared to my own Wacom pen.
Brush??
What kind of tablet do you use?
iPad Pro 2018! 12.9 inch version
Thank you@@KelBelter!! Would love to see a video of your process sketching on the tablet all the way to finished design.
I like your videos and editing what camera do you use?
Thank you! For a while I was borrowing a Nikon mirrorless camera from my partner, but these days I'm just using my iPhone12 mostly!
The art of apparel printing awaits! 🖌 @FastDTFTransfer's latest post on DTF Gang Sheets is a masterpiece. Share your own creative strokes in the comments. 💬🎨 #DTFGangSheets #FastDTFTransfer
what riso printer did you use for this project?
Hi Ashley! I have an RZ1050A, so it's a single drum riso printer, that I keep in our home studio. Are you thinking of buying a printer?
I've been told to make a zine for a college assignment, wish me luck because I'm tempted to YEET myself
You can do it!!! I swear it's simpler than it looks--hope you have fun with it
@@KelBelter thanks so much! I've nearly finished it and your video has actually helped motivate me
@Willa I dropped out of college Instead of doing it 🤣
@@thedeadend5621 hahahahaha I love this comment! Wish I could still see the zine you kinda made though 😂
I recently *borrowed* some Riso ink tubes from my school, they’re in paint tubes and idk how to use them but they look so beautiful.
wow! that's interesting--so they gave you the entire large ink tube to take home, or did you bring home like a mini version to experiment with? I've only ever used riso ink with the printer :-) I think if you're using it with a brush or applying in some other way, the main thing is to use paper that is absorbent (so doesn't have any coating!)
what size paper do you print on?
These zines were printed on A3 sheets of paper and then cut into 4ths, so each spread of two pages fit on an A5 size piece of paper! You could definitely print on normal printer paper (~A4 size) and cut them in half to make this same sized zine ^^
@@KelBelter thank you!!🥰
Can you describe the layout
The layout of the zine? I am planning to print another zine soon, so I can record that and explain more about the layout process!
To go about layout, I think about what pages need to face back to back--making a dummy zine is helpful to double-check that I'm printing the right pages together :-)
Kel Belter thank you!
Looks up the price of Risograph printers. The first one I see is $34000. *dead* 💀
That's quite steep! I bought mine used for around 4000 USD. Definitely something that's worth searching for secondhand (or visiting a studio in the meantime for printing!)
are you always so awesome? 🤔
I like your designs, but I would have teached more about how to actually make it :(
Which part of the making is the most confusing? I am happy to explain a little more of the small steps if something seems difficult! Is it making the layout for printing? Or is it the actual cutting and stapling?
Sorry but you barely show anything of how you actually make a zine. You just show the drawing and the screen printing. But putting the whole thing together is way more interesting in my opinion.
It’s been a while so this video could definitely use an update! For reference, which parts of putting it together are the most interesting to you? Since I’m an illustrator, the brainstorming, drawing and printing process is the most impactful to the final result and the cutting/folding/stapling is fairly straightforward so I didn’t linger as long on those parts. But if a lot of people are interested in it, then I’m happy to film more about the assembly process in the future :-)
cutting/folding/stapling is the craft that puts it together, I think people know how to draw or have some input already and rather need these advices. I also thought what you said with the rubber sounded cool described - would have loved to see it aswell - just wished for a more complete showcase - thanks for your serious response@@KelBelter
@@immortal3146 sure! Everyone has a different perspective on what attracts them most to zines. Thanks for your input, and it’s giving me some inspiration to keep talking about zine making from some different angles. I’m definitely going to follow up with an updated video that focuses on the assembly process and some things I’ve learned in the last few years of making more handmade publications.
So beautiful I actually learnt stuff about the world 😂 🥹❤️
Which drawing tool did you use?
procreate ^^
This was such a delightful process to watch and you did such a marvelous job! Love the organic shapes in your work and your handwriting. Also, super cool on the stapler hack! I always used the edge of a box and saddled the booklet on the corner, but I'm not very coordinated with it so I often had to restaple!
Glad I could pass on my staple tricks! Finally got a long arm stapler to solve my next zine’s stapling problems haha
This is incredible! I'm not an illustrator but me and a few writer friends want to start making zines. We've got a local press but no idea how to prepare artwork for the riso printing 😅😅
I loved watching you create your zine soooo much! Such a cool hands-on process. Awesome job!
Thanks so much Laura! Glad you enjoyed watching it come together~ working on a bigger book, so hopefully can share more about printing soon!
So fun! Next time I wanna help assemble them. :))
Yes! Anytime, you're welcome to haha I still have lotssss to assemble if you're down to have a wine night at home with records and zines~
@@KelBelter awesome! You know where to find me. :)
Your art is so pretty! I'm glad yt recommended your channel to me. Can't wait to see more
Thanks so much! I'm going to upload a video tomorrow, so I really appreciate the encouragement :-)
Really cool to see your process and your design work is beautiful! I'm really interested in mythology and this would be perfect in my collection...can't wait to look through it in person :)
This is a great video and your style is so amazing ❤ I just wish you'd named the story from Congo as that and not Africa which is the whole continent but I'm happy you said where it was from in the video and I loved everything else tysm for sharing I loved it and again you're amazing your style is sooooo pretty
Thank you for the sweet and thoughtful comment! If I ever make another edition, I'll definitely include the detail about the story's origins in the printed copy as well ^^
Hi! Just wanted to update you because I recently found one of these zine copies (it's from a few years ago, so I didn't have many left), and I thought you might be happy to know that I actually did write in the zine that the story is from the Kuba of Central Africa. On the finished zine page, 'Africa' has a star (*) next to it, and there are more specifics that credit the Kuba on that page. I was happy to find that it was there after all ^^
Love love love this video so much and it was really helpful for me to plan my own zine 💗
why did mine turn out horrendously ugly 😢😢
Practice makes perfect! It's also sometimes hard to like your work after staring at it for a long time, but it's always a stepping stone to the next and better project.
That's really cool workout, where can i get that brush in procreate ? ❤❤❤
I love it so much. Keep up the great work. Which measurements did you use on procreate?
Thank you! I made all of my pages A4 300 dpi (21x29.7 cm), but when I printed them, they were all A6. I just used A4 in case I changed my mind later or wanted to use the illustrations for something else!
OMG! how did you make that happen! its so amazing, I will try it out too. Thanks for inspiration. God bless you
Thanks so much Avi! I will definitely make more contents on making zines and books! Maybe new/more colors for printing next time? Hope you do try it out for yourself 🌈
@@KelBelter Multi colors are cool (Y) Go for it. I made a simple zine for myself last week and it came out great. Just pencil and paper origami XD I like to keep it simple
I loved this video!! I'm making a zine with my friends soon and got so inspired
Yes! I'm so happy--I hope you guys make something amazing~
Didn't understand the stapler process with eraser
hi! so basically the eraser helps you to staple without a long arm stapler. here is an example: www.wikihow.com/Staple-a-Booklet you can also use cardboard or another soft material. then you bend the arms of the staple inwards :-)
I just found your channel while I looked for some inspo for my next video, what a wonderful video and edit!! You got me inspired to make riso one day in my art studio! I am currently obsessed with spray paint, I guess riso will have to wait ahahaha
Ahh that's awesome! I really do hope you try it one day. I just got blue and fluorescent pink ink drums in sooooo I can't wait to print some new zines/prints with some bright neon colors! Spray paint sounds so fun though--something I've never tried before but always looks like so much fun. I have some friends in Seoul who are street artists and they make it look so effortless
Amazing video! you really insipred me, i didn't know what zines were but you were so cool i had to keep watching!! i'll definitely try myself :)
What were your dimensions on Procreate? 8x11? By the way, you are super unique and talented! I love your drafting process and learned a lot in this video.
Thank you so much! The dimensions were A4 (29.7 X 21 cm)
The stapling hack just saved me money and my sanity 😌
subscribed!!
Buy a Bostitch long reach stapler! 😘
I have acquired quite a few staplers since making this video a few years back! Including a long reach one ☺️ but have found the version specifically for folded books to be one of my most useful tools!
what procreate paint brush did you use?
It’s True Grit Texture Supply Rusty Nib set for Procreate 💕
Long arm staplers are a must have:)
what kind of paper did you use when screenprinting the covers? watercolor?
Thanks for the inspiration. ❤❤❤❤amazing🎉🎉🎉🎉
Does anyone know the song that plays at 5:10 ? Checked the description but can't seem to find it given the Soundcloud and instagram links are broken.
It's by Evan! He changed his IG handle. It's now instagram.com/evnwrk/
@@KelBelter Thanks for the info. On a more important note, I recently stumbled upon your channel and instantly became a huge fan. Not only is your work fun and inspiring, but your video style and personality are really enjoyable to watch too. I've been binging all your videos and am really looking forward to future ones. Keep up the awesome work!
To make a suggestion: It would have been fun to see an updated "updating my portfolio" type video as I see you're using Cargo now. Cargo is really cool, but I find it sort of headache-inducing. It would have been interesting and informative to see how you went about creating your site on that platform.
@@_timmy Thanks for the helpful feedback and the lovely compliment! I actually need to update my portfolio a little, so maybe it's the perfect opportunity to film a little update!
@@KelBelter That's exciting to hear! To the extent in which it's possible, I would really appreciate seeing as much of the nitty gritty formatting of the page through cargo as you think would be appropriate for the video (if you do end up making it). Thanks again for your hard work with making these videos and art for our enjoyment. 🙇🏼♂
What is the name of the music genre that you are using in general? I really enjoy it.
what procreate brush do you use !!
so happy this vid popped up on my explore page ❤ your calmness and inspirational value are priceless
thank you for inspiring me
I just learned what a zine is! thank you. Your work is beautiful.
all africans have the same creation myth ?????? hahaha
I specified in the video that the story was specifically from the Congo :-)
@@KelBelter it’s just that seeing « africa » like this in the final zine seems strange
@@Ojama_ I agree that it would have been better to do all countries or all continents of origin consistently. Since this was 3 years ago, if I ever reprint/redo the zine, it's a mistake that I'd want to fix.
What brush do you use? :)
What tablet and app do you use to draw in?
what is zine???? plz
Fanzine
That Gonz book is worth like £500
I love it！your style and printed texture its like Whoa
I really like this. Thanks. The greys are fantastic.
very cool, i cant wait to make too
Amazing and inspiring - will start making my own!
Just curious is this what you actually believe was the process in the creation of the universe?
so happy to hear it! And I think I'd have to go with the big bang theory, though myths are much more fun :-)
wow well done !
Wonderful. We'll done!🙌
