19:48 I've been lucky and prepared for luck. I do manga stuff (Apple Black, Cofounder Saturday AM, a secret project, manga editor, art director, and consultant for Sandstorm Comics in the UAE) AND! I do social media (TH-cam, Meta, TikTok, and more). Luckily everything I do is comic related, even the social media. I don't and have never had a job outside of this field, living just fine and having zero college debt, but there's nothing wrong with having a job on the side, btw; sometimes you have gotta do what you gotta do. Especially in the beginning. I'm still looking to keep climbing.
I’ve been making a webtoon series and it’s so much tougher than I thought putting it out 😭, fully colored shaded and inked all by myself. I bit off more than I could chew
Webtoon is another beast, due to coloring and the weekly deadline, especially. In the near future, stay tuned to the coming plans and some videos on this channel that'll discuss that too. Don't bite more than you can. maybe have a chiller schedule for now or get help however you can.
Awesome demo! I've heard that in Japan, especially if a manga artist is pushing a deadline, their editor is in the room with them, often literally watching over their shoulder urging them along, sending out assistant editors to get food or walk the dog or anything else so the artist can concentrate only on getting the work completed. The time pressures are real.
@@whytmangatv you guys shouldn't encourage this type of culture. this is the reason why most manga franchises are trash. you can't rush excellence. this is why it is better to go independent.
@@redhat4363 no one is pushing anything. Find ways that work for you to meet deadlines. If you don’t want to and or is unhealthy for you based the system you come up with, adjust deadlines or don’t do it.
@@whytmangatv yeah but my point is that you should be against it! You know in the back of your mind that it’s unsustainable! The deadlines are unrealistic, and the whole system is exploiting talents without rewarding them! Mainstream manga industry is just a more sophisticated form of sweatshops! It’s BS!
@@whytmangatv can’t believe someone as smart as you can’t see through this! Modern manga\anime industry is nothing but a sophisticated type of sweatshops businesses!
@@coralfishnt7663I’ll try to find it but I remember someone had tutorial like this somewhere. It was very detailed; like showing the general difference in features. This back in the early internet days, so it might not be online anymore
@@coralfishnt7663 slavic are basically just white. there's nuances and small differences with slavic and non slavic white people, but you could prob get away with drawing them the same. really what you want to do is study a bunch of photos. sketch them, maybe do caricatures to focus on unique features
The one and only came back with such a banger, man! I've been asking myself those questions since forever and here you just show the whole process step by step with timer. By now I'm pretty sure the only thing stopping me from drawing more manga is the fact I haven't developed any workflow process and it somehow makes me anxious to start and struggle through it. Painting is not a problem but setting up the pages with panels and whole structure of it is a lot, so thank you for giving us a sneak peek how it look at a professional level. Your channel is a goldmine for aspiring artists.
You’re a BEAST for coming back and just continuing like it was nothing. I still remember when I made edits for Apple Black on my main channel, PrinceZola. It wasn’t anything crazy, but your videos inspired me to make little edits promoting Apple Black since it’s good. I can’t wait for Apple Black Volume 5 since I already have all of Season 4. Sano went insane against Caesar.
I’m loving the growth for not just Apple black but for Saturday AM. Really makes me believe that joining the industry is more possible than it was before
The Apple Black OG is back! Yes sir! Seeing this demo is pretty freaking inspiring man. I'm just learning how to draw and just finished the story outlines for Volumes 1-6 for my Action-Adventure, badass African/African American female warrior trio (One is a samurai/firebender named Ember, Jahzara is the half-human/half-demon main character and earthbender, and the last is a waterbender/businesswoman named Zhavia). It is also a Yoruba inspired manga called Jahzara's Journey! I hope to publish it with Saturday AM one day, but I have a LONG way to go. My story will join that kickass roster tho one day! Count on it! Peace and blessings bro. :)
I have been drawing comics since 20 years ago, Voltron force, Ev and Max steel are some of the comics that I have worked on at that time, you know sometimes this spirit decreases but watching this video has given me inspiration and energy, just want to say thank you my friend, stay cool and keep up the best work.
Shew, speed is king. Speed with quality preserved is godly. My speed keeps me in the game for sure! Pages upon pages! Hope everyone takes some notes! Good advice and knowledge dropped here folks!
As someone desperately trying to get his own comics off the ground, it's astounding to see this video, and I'm sure it will help me out a TON! I would love to see screening visited in a future video, breaking it down so that it looks good like in your comics and not a garbled mess I've seen (and suffered with)
I think often what we discuss is how to reach and meet weekly deadlines when they are often irrealistical. What i mewn is, specially in the japanese market, the artists are literally diying and getting sick. What i think should be put in discussion is, couldnt things work in other publishinf formats such as biweekly or monthly?
This is so cool, inspiring and encouraging, can't believe I've only stumbled into this channel recently. I happen to work in a studio that produces webtoons (not exactly the platform, but the medium), that mostly became an outsourcing studio for Japanese publishers and/or studios. There's a team for every title project, at the very least 1 translator (since the story script is in Japanese, and the team isn't, it needs translation) or the project manager would handle it (project manager does a bit of work similar to what a Japanese editor would do in helping the team to keep up with deadline, monitoring the quality, and communicate with clients -> publisher or other studio), 1 storyboard artist, 1 lead artist that would lock in the style of the drawing, 1 background artist, we'd use 3D backgrounds, 2 line artists (it varies, some would have only 1 -> rare, but there comes a time when a title has 4 to 5 line artists if the project's production quality is that high, or this would happen during crisis mode as well), 2 colorist (this one a bit varied, sometimes it's 1 base colorist and 1 colorist, sometimes it's 1 main colorist, and 1 other colorist, etc.), and 1 editor (finalized the panel spacings, add in text bubbles with appropriate design and color, SFX). There are times when we've managed to have like about 3-4 chapters ahead of schedule, when the writer and publisher suddenly decided to change the story's trajectory, and we had to scratch everything, and went on crisis mode for a month, barely keeping up with publishing time.... But for me personally the toughest part is when another title project is on crisis mode, and I as a line artist got reeled in to help out (so sometimes I work 2 titles at the same time). Like you said, people would usually notice when a different artist handles a part of the project, it is HARD to abruptly change drawing style and be consistent about it, especially when dealing with different genres (from action manga to romance manga or vice versa), I'd need to quickly go through the summary of the story, character designs, assets, and study up on the file project folderings and stuff (different clients ask for different ways of doing the work, so we don't have a standardized flow on this), seriously during my first few times, I felt like an idiot thinking, I'm slow on the uptake and with the deadlines rolling in, and dragging the whole team down (we work from home so, I can't exactly see if the others were going through the same thing). This video made me feel seen. But seriously, without a decent team? Working on 1 project alone is very tough... it's already tough with a decent team😅respect for you and everyone out there working in the industry.
hey bro, it's been a while, just wanted to say you just sparked my old passion for making manga. and I think I'm going to try getting back into it again oh and thanks for the tips.
This video was very helpful, thanks! I would like to also add that it's okay to simplify your art if it helps you. More detailed art doesn't necessarily mean it's better.
I would love to see you go more into how you go from having an idea and actually forming a story around it, I think you have a great perspective on this and I would like to hear more from you
Im currently watching Bakuman the timing of this Video is Perfect since this Anime shows the life of Mangakas wich also includes the struggle with Deadlines😂😂. Thx for sharing this you are a great inspiration im on my fundamentals and study grind to learn how to draw things from imagination!
Apple Black vol 5, Hammer vol 5, Clock Striker vol 2… I need those. Throw in a Soul Beat vol 2, and an Underground vol 2 for good measure. Heck! Just give me the whole line up. 😤👍👍🔥
Great tips! I could really use a team to help with "Noelle" but I'm not financially where I want to be in order to hire a team...yet. I will get there, but I will get there. I could really use that storyboard. Thanks again for sharing with the community.
Drawing a manga and trying to stay within deadlines is a huge struggle. I've been doing it for years and ultimately decided to stop posting on Tapas and Webtoon, as it had become stressful and I also quit promoting. Also, backgrounds are something that slow me down a lot, but I think I figured out a trick to speed things up. At the moment, I decided I'll just be focusing again on the story and putting out more pages before I start posting again (I really hope I'll be able to finish the first volume!).
This video is extremely helpful man. Thank you for giving all of your knowledge to the younger generation so we can grow. I’m very interested in how you drew the nature backgrounds (trees, bushes, sky) Do you have any plans of making a video on your techniques?
I've been watching your channel for years, the content is always top notch. I enjoy seeing your progress and wishinh you all the success, you deserve it. Hopefully in the future I can donate more. I've always hopes to see Apple Black get an anime version. Best wishes man and thanks a lot for your work!
This demo is AMAZING and indicitive of my own findings in private! If anyone is interested I have a couple of potentially life saving tips that can save even more time and has literally made my process that much cleaner; Tip 1: separate your inked outlines from your detailed and blocked lines. This will be a GODSEND to you when you have to constantly wrestle with magic wand selections and flats for your colors and tones. Tip 2: if there is ever anything I recommend doing its this- create a template of ALL the layers you name and use on a separate file, then when you create a new project, open up your file with all the layers already created, select them all, ctrl c, then move to your actual project after youve made your layouts and panels and paste the layers to your hearts content. Voila. You've saved yourself at least thirty minutes per page, which saves you literal HOURS AND DAYS OF YOUR LIFE JUST NAMING YOUR FRIGGIN LAYERS THE LONGER YOU DO EVERYTHING. Tip 3: when sketching and inking, commit to your lines and try to avoid going over the sane thing over and over again. Out of all the tips here this one is the most difficult as it can seem like im telling you to just draw perfectly. However, in my experience your drawing doesnt typically get better the more lines you put to the page. That messy circle you drew for the head in a hundred strokes took you literally a hundred times longer to draw versus just going over it two or three tines respectively. These three things are what has literally saved my life and I WISH I had someone there to lay that out for me instead of giving me the bs answer: "oh dont worry about your process and just do your own thing!!"
My art is lacking and hopefully it improves in time , but I have no clue how to organize or make sense of my story , I’m not necessarily a good writer and , I’ve decided to focus on drawing first , but how exactly do I go about strutting my story and making it so that it’s interesting and makes sense , I have a lot of stuff written down like certain scenes I want to happen and stuff I wanna see but I have no clue what to physically do to get it ti where i want it ti be, I’m hoping this video can help me, also you mentioned in a video that your proctor or teacher helped you somewhat , so like would seeking help be best and what kinds of help?
When you said 20 pages, my jaw dropped :O I live in Japan and lately i've been wanting to create a manga, or maybe a webtoon, idk i'm just gathering research but ik it would be really cool. Also i've never seen your content before but your video was the first one that came up for my search, God timing cause now you've got a new sub :)
making a webtoon series myself we’re on chapter 8 and my artist has been having a hard time keeping up with deadlines and staying inspired so i sent him this awesome video!
Glad you're back, man. Had me worried for a sec. Love the attitude almost as much as I love the artwork. Got my Apple Black but I gotta say, I want more of Clock Strikers if possible too XD. I wanted to draw comics and even tried it back in the day but the stars never aligned for me. Glad to see a young brother like you make it though.
Ive alway been curios Whytmanga why didnt you make Sano black. Being a black mangaka since we have very little representation of black anime out of millions of manga and anime even black anime main characters in general Im black myself and making my own series with the mc being balck and having a lot of representation not judging just curious why not.
Great question, I will address in the future. It was a lack of seeing diversity in manga and so, I thought it didn't belong in my early and naive days not understanding things and it limited my creativity. Thankfully that has changed and I have series with black leads now and helped launch Saturday AM so people learn from my error. I'm still happy with Sano as is, I just don't like that I didn't even consider him as black because I just never saw it in japanese comics, it all makes sense to me now and is a very nuanced convo so, I'll break it down in a video but, Bacassi has black leads, Apple Black Origins has a black lead, maybe a multiverse Sano is black lol just wait.but I'm glad Saturday AM and I have contributed to people drawing from themselves more in their work. black, white, asian, tall, short, asian, african, european etc. people are putting themselves in their work more unlike before, were people always had spiky haired characters with japanese names, even though you don't know anything about japan apart from what you see in anime. A lot of Japanese creators MOSTLY have japanese characters and japanese inspired worlds or just straight up Japan because that's part of what makes it authentic to them. Thankfully I fell out of that very soon after Apple Black starter and fixed and retconned some things to address this. Will address properly in a future video. Apple Black is still authentic to me because I did what I wanted but I do wish I could do it again without that mental unconcious limitation. This is also why I think the anti diversity crowd are blind to the big picture and don't understand the authencity conversation, but they're not smart enough to feel stupd.
@@whytmangatv I can see what you mean not being shown diversity especially with the lack of it in anime thanks for answering my question and keep up the good work. 👍
@whymangatv A big issue is that the “diversity” crowd pretty much caused a huge diversity between people, provoking confusion when people actually insert themselves into their work like God does.
I’ve just got into drawing months ago and 3 weeks ago I started drawing digitally. Shading is my most challenging task right now because I want to really go into as much detail as I can. That being said. It takes about a week to do one page worth of drawings for me, one. It’s quite the struggle. Especially when you have two jobs.
This sword wielding character and his story that you used to demonstrate in this video, needs to become canon. Don’t let this concept go to waste…respectful request. 😌🙏
I gave up on the idea of doing MANGA, not only will no one read it because it's not from Shonen Jump but no one will buy it either. So I found a better way and that is to draw vertical comics (manhwa, manhua etc) which can be read perhaps most comfortably on a mobile phone. And it's in color so it will appeal to readers who don't want to read black and white comics. If you did a WEBTOON version you'd definitely have more patrons and more money than if you just did manga.
This video certainly came at the right time! Though I’m curious; do mangaka ever go through drafts? How do they blast out 20 pages per week while keeping the story consistent? Are there outlines?
If you have not already, Can you make a tutorial on how to ink a rough like you did in this video? It can be very useful for quick one shot post for social media drawing.
It takes a week to draw 7 to 10 pages. My art style is not too detailed. So, that works for me. Then my aunt scanned in the pages,sent it to the publishing company, and they do the rest.
I once read some of a Korean Webcomic that was literally 99% 3D models. Basically the only parts that looked 100% hand drawn were the faces. The bodies were all clearly drawn over 3D models. Everything in the background was a 3D model. The weapons were 3D models. It was surreal that anyone would put that out.
My art style has always been more realistic and usually takes some time to make. I have experimented with some more anime like style that is simpler to make and complete. It's fun.
i have a shonen jump volume and there were a few pages in the naruto entry in that issue where it wasnt fully done and still in the sketch phase, by far my most treasured issue for whatever reason lol
Seems to take me about '1:30:00' to '2:00:00' to finish a single page. Given that I tend to work for 8 hours a day, I usually complete 4-5 pages a day. Then I go cook some Burgers and Fries and play Zelda or Xenoblade or something. XD I also tend to spend one day of the week specifically just devoted to creating scripts and drafts.
19:48 I've been lucky and prepared for luck. I do manga stuff (Apple Black, Cofounder Saturday AM, a secret project, manga editor, art director, and consultant for Sandstorm Comics in the UAE) AND! I do social media (TH-cam, Meta, TikTok, and more). Luckily everything I do is comic related, even the social media. I don't and have never had a job outside of this field, living just fine and having zero college debt, but there's nothing wrong with having a job on the side, btw; sometimes you have gotta do what you gotta do. Especially in the beginning. I'm still looking to keep climbing.
A man of many hats 🎩👍.
So do you have a side job or are you a full time manga artist?
I’ve been making a webtoon series and it’s so much tougher than I thought putting it out 😭, fully colored shaded and inked all by myself. I bit off more than I could chew

Is manga easier?

@@红色的火焰 are those specific titles for books? If so do you know the author ? If not then can you explain what exactly I’m looking for
When you said 20 pages, my jaw dropped :O I live in Japan and lately i've been wanting to create a manga, or maybe a webtoon, idk i'm just gathering research but ik it would be really cool. Also i've never seen your content before but your video was the first one that came up for my search, God timing cause now you've got a new sub :)
Can't wait for the full video !
Glad to have you back, hopefully we can get 10 video in a month. I always watch till the end
Im starting to do my own manga I have to give you respect man its way harder than I thougth
Yo we all better like this, I lowkey wanna see the tattoo
making a webtoon series myself we’re on chapter 8 and my artist has been having a hard time keeping up with deadlines and staying inspired so i sent him this awesome video!
If you are doing a series on CANVAS you don't have to have any uncompromising deadlines.
@@davidensinger4175 ok bro lol…
Glad you're back, man. Had me worried for a sec. Love the attitude almost as much as I love the artwork. Got my Apple Black but I gotta say, I want more of Clock Strikers if possible too XD. I wanted to draw comics and even tried it back in the day but the stars never aligned for me. Glad to see a young brother like you make it though.
Ive alway been curios Whytmanga why didnt you make Sano black. Being a black mangaka since we have very little representation of black anime out of millions of manga and anime even black anime main characters in general Im black myself and making my own series with the mc being balck and having a lot of representation not judging just curious why not.
Great question, I will address in the future. It was a lack of seeing diversity in manga and so, I thought it didn't belong in my early and naive days not understanding things and it limited my creativity. Thankfully that has changed and I have series with black leads now and helped launch Saturday AM so people learn from my error. I'm still happy with Sano as is, I just don't like that I didn't even consider him as black because I just never saw it in japanese comics, it all makes sense to me now and is a very nuanced convo so, I'll break it down in a video but, Bacassi has black leads, Apple Black Origins has a black lead, maybe a multiverse Sano is black lol just wait.but I'm glad Saturday AM and I have contributed to people drawing from themselves more in their work. black, white, asian, tall, short, asian, african, european etc. people are putting themselves in their work more unlike before, were people always had spiky haired characters with japanese names, even though you don't know anything about japan apart from what you see in anime. A lot of Japanese creators MOSTLY have japanese characters and japanese inspired worlds or just straight up Japan because that's part of what makes it authentic to them. Thankfully I fell out of that very soon after Apple Black starter and fixed and retconned some things to address this. Will address properly in a future video. Apple Black is still authentic to me because I did what I wanted but I do wish I could do it again without that mental unconcious limitation. This is also why I think the anti diversity crowd are blind to the big picture and don't understand the authencity conversation, but they're not smart enough to feel stupd.
@@whytmangatv I can see what you mean not being shown diversity especially with the lack of it in anime thanks for answering my question and keep up the good work. 👍
@@whytmangatv "not smart enough to feel stupid" is the best insult :)
@whytmangatv Sano is a pretty good Asian design.
@whymangatv
A big issue is that the “diversity” crowd pretty much caused a huge diversity between people, provoking confusion when people actually insert themselves into their work like God does.
Happy you got your channel back and are already back to making regular videos again :)
EPIC
Really impressive! Hats off!
Glad you got your channel back and I'm loving Apple Black so far keep up the good work.
Happy to see you took back your channel.
I’ve just got into drawing months ago and 3 weeks ago I started drawing digitally. Shading is my most challenging task right now because I want to really go into as much detail as I can.
That being said. It takes about a week to do one page worth of drawings for me, one. It’s quite the struggle. Especially when you have two jobs.
You are on another level 😵💫
Wish I could have ppl to draw with remotely on in person, that will be really nice😊
it depends on the complexity of the page which usually takes up the most time
Amazing. Glad you're back
Apple Black Volume 5 dropping November!
YAY NEW VID! I’m not on a dead line but it will surely help. Ty!
That I will practice to draw manga faster for my manga shot, using with your best method, thank you!🙏🏻
One of the two and a half at the end of the video on deck!
Glad to see you back! ❤
you and dd mark are very inspirational.
Wanna appreciate ikimoto and kishimoto who been doing this for 20+ years nonstop 🙏
Ohhhhhhhj my god, I was mentioned in one of whyt manga videos ( mentioned as a team but still, I am part of that team).
Top tier Manga Assistant!
This sword wielding character and his story that you used to demonstrate in this video, needs to become canon. Don’t let this concept go to waste…respectful request. 😌🙏
See as a writer i give my artist what needs to be drawn and if they have questions injust answer them.
Great video WM,sending love to you from the Caribbean.
Same to you!
That’s Awsome don’t give up my boi 💪🏾
I gave up on the idea of doing MANGA, not only will no one read it because it's not from Shonen Jump but no one will buy it either. So I found a better way and that is to draw vertical comics (manhwa, manhua etc) which can be read perhaps most comfortably on a mobile phone. And it's in color so it will appeal to readers who don't want to read black and white comics. If you did a WEBTOON version you'd definitely have more patrons and more money than if you just did manga.
Whats your favorite part to do when you draw Whyt?
Happy you got your channel back from the hackers. Hopefully nothing hit up from here!!!
This video certainly came at the right time!
Though I’m curious; do mangaka ever go through drafts? How do they blast out 20 pages per week while keeping the story consistent? Are there outlines?
If you have not already, Can you make a tutorial on how to ink a rough like you did in this video? It can be very useful for quick one shot post for social media drawing.
I posted a video showing me ink these pages in real time x2.
It takes a week to draw 7 to 10 pages. My art style is not too detailed. So, that works for me. Then my aunt scanned in the pages,sent it to the publishing company, and they do the rest.
I once read some of a Korean Webcomic that was literally 99% 3D models. Basically the only parts that looked 100% hand drawn were the faces. The bodies were all clearly drawn over 3D models. Everything in the background was a 3D model. The weapons were 3D models. It was surreal that anyone would put that out.
@@IzzySarru game is game lol
Love your work . But u and I both know Saturday am ain't paying u enough for APPLE BLACK
Aaaaah welcome back !!!!
always takes me a whole day to make one page i could do 2 but i get really tired after 1😭😭🙏
Im sorry but"The machine keeps machining"😂😂🎉
My art style has always been more realistic and usually takes some time to make. I have experimented with some more anime like style that is simpler to make and complete. It's fun.
I just finished my first series!!its 40 chapters long!!and I animated it for 10 short 4-7mins episodes!!
Looking good whyt
i have a shonen jump volume and there were a few pages in the naruto entry in that issue where it wasnt fully done and still in the sketch phase, by far my most treasured issue for whatever reason lol
welcome back bro
W whyt manga timing🔥
Goated upload timing (I have 2 weeks to draw 30 pages)
Monthly schedules arent that bad compared to the weekly one
Woof. 20 manga pages in a week?! I barely know how to make 1 yet.
Seems to take me about '1:30:00' to '2:00:00' to finish a single page. Given that I tend to work for 8 hours a day, I usually complete 4-5 pages a day.
Then I go cook some Burgers and Fries and play Zelda or Xenoblade or something. XD
I also tend to spend one day of the week specifically just devoted to creating scripts and drafts.
Can you do a video of how to get an audience for a manga you’re making? Especially when you’re not Japanese?
I cant even get a panel in a day, I'd be cancelled in less than a month.
Well, I definitely suck at this it takes a month just to finish a chapter 😢
He’s returned 🔥🔥
You should consider to turn it into your Future Manga
Do you ever get art blocks like you can’t think anything to draw?
Love your videoes man ❤
I missed you
