it can be though!!!!! if you can put in the time and energy needed to practice then you will be able to get there eventually!! (altho something actually being Too good is rare lol)
Wow! You're the guy who made the book with the watercolour Japanese shops! I'm very impressed by your work and your skills, your book is such a delight to look and read. Thank you for making such an amazing book! (I just found you by mistake through this video)
That left me speechless. Amazing background it was like a photo, everything seems perfect and I appreciate that you are mentioning what you use, why you use it. Your works are a masterpiece and I love your channel. Keep it up, you are doing so well. ♥
You are right about the look at the end. It looks like a regular photo with a filter. The challenge will be how to maintain the organic feel of the watercolor. Good luck and thanks for sharing your process.
I think it's beautiful!!! I would love to be able to paint backgrounds as good as you Mateusz, but I'll need a lot more practice for that. ;) I hope you share with us the next experiment :)
Your videos are always surprising and i always have something new to learn! Thank you so much for taking the time to make these videos and good luck with your fluture projects! I am loking forward to your new work!
Hello! The ink result is really pleasing and the filtered one is stunning. If the result looks too perfect, what about applying the halftone filter randomly to let the ink work show and keep the hand made touch else where? Or may be it is because grey doesn't print on manga comics process? It's really impressive. I love how you paint the leaves. I should train painting these. Cheers
Nice!!! Do you use any reference pictures for your drawings? And how do you understand perspective and angles? I am really wanting to start drawing background and I need advice. Thanks. I also just came back from Japan and I love everything there. :)
Yes there are a lot of tutorials and books on this topic and the rules themselves are not difficult but they require a lot of practice. it's best so simplify things and then add details gradually as you go. With this you can start with only simple boxes and when you have those right you can add all the rest.
Gorgeous work! I love inkwash drawing/painting. Did I miss you saying which paper this is? EDIT: never mind, I just saw it in the description. If you can find it, try Canson Illustration paper, it's very good for inkwash and inking.
Hah! Sorry, not laughing at you. I just find it amusing that the end result was too good. I actually thought that before you tried the effect and confirmed it yourself. Good luck finding the correct method you're looking for!
Maybe too good or too realistic doesnt fit the style of the story they're working on, guys! I suppose the art should serve the story, just like the character design, dialogues etc. So if the background is too photo realistic it can be out of synch with the kind of story they want.
hmm the left part of the picture didnt look like a modified photo ,,,the right part a bit more , i think just a small layer of black fineliner for the details instead of shading could revert the photo look .. the photolook happen when the fine details turn into blotches like in your painting here ..
"It looked too good" wow if only I had that problem! I'm sure that readers would see that you drew it- especially the parts where you switched to fountain pen. What white out are you using? I never seem to find a good one.
Beautiful job as usual! Please let us know what marker you used to create the wider white line? I looked on the Tools list on your website but did not see any white pens or markers listed.
Lynn Van Houten ah this is just a whiteout pen from pentel I bought at the supermarket ;) it’s not that good actually. I add a better one to my tools list with the next update :)
How do you use the black ink? Brush directly into the little bottle or do you use the thing that does little droplets of ink? I didn't know you could mix with water for lighter greys, I thought this kind of ink was 100% black, it's a little bit like watercolor then.
Tactics Lc I put a drop or two into one of the wells of the ceramic dish you can see in the video and then add water if needed or paint straight black.
You can use whatever you want 👍 "manga" just means "a comic" in Japanese. If what you make is a comic and if it's published in Japan it's a manga in way. Of course there are more "traditionally looking" mangas and more "digital, modern" mangas but in Japan even if a comic is drawn on a smartphone or in Paint it's still a "manga" 👍
The method I'm using here relies on the fact that I'm using a brush and waterproof ink. Thanks to that I can safely layer the ink and control how strong each wash is. I don't think you can do this with a pen. Any nice brush and waterproof ink or paint (like thinned down acrylic gouache for example) should work though - you don't have to use the exact one that I have.
@@mattjabbar umm... Can u review this one www.amazon.in/dp/B003U6LBRW/ref=cm_sw_r_cp_apa_fabc_7MCMC8HFWDNTV8N0R8VH That's the markers I am taking about
I'm just beginning with ink. I used here my artificial hair brushes but from what I know Japanese calligraphy artists use sable brushes and comic inkers often use them too (Winsor&Newton Series 7 and such) so you should be OK.

Nope, they require a lot of time (about 3 days per painting) and a lot of concentration. I might do bits when I feel like I don't need 100% attention so I can talk while painting.
Wybacz, ale więcej osób (włączając tych z Polski którzy mówią po angielsku) może coś wynieść z moich filmów jeśli są po angielsku. Na razie nie planuję polskiego „dubbingu” ;)
@@mattjabbar Dziękuję za odpowiedzi .

ugh! the struggle when your painting turned out too good than you wanted to be...
right, guys? yeah, something that can never be relatable to me
it can be though!!!!! if you can put in the time and energy needed to practice then you will be able to get there eventually!! (altho something actually being Too good is rare lol)
This comments 😂👌
Man, I remember I tried to do a comic in all inkwash years ago. It's tough! I'm impressed.
I always fall in love with your environmental work. Inking like this is a life long goal of mine.
*wow, just wow*
The end result came out too good ... how do I have that problem? I really want to have that problem.
more "too realistic" ;)

Weird! You're right, definitely reminds me of grainy black/white photographs on newspapers.
U r genius sir! Thank you for teaching!
Fudge this looks soo good.
watching your videos always inspires me to pull out my watercolors and just Go For It!!! thanks so much for recording and posting these videos!!
this is actually very amazing !!💓 you did great it looks like a true picture from reality not just an art
You are right about the look at the end. It looks like a regular photo with a filter. The challenge will be how to maintain the organic feel of the watercolor. Good luck and thanks for sharing your process.
Love your details man!
Liquitex Ink is also a very good ink in this kind of application. I love the monochrome effect.
Simply Fabulous work!!
This is a beautiful technique you've tried - looks very special
Lowkey Beautiful
It's so beautiful, love it
I think it's beautiful!!!
I would love to be able to paint backgrounds as good as you Mateusz, but I'll need a lot more practice for that. ;)
I hope you share with us the next experiment :)
This is amazing! Looking forward to see your project with Kanna! Happy New Year 💫💫

Nice work and have a lovely new year man.
Amazing work

The background is spectacular, maybe what you need is a different size dot screen than the one you chose, maybe a smaller tighter dot pattern?
waughtercolors it’s the printer (of the book or magazine) that decides the pattern and paper. This is probably the tightest it will get :)
Piękne ilustracje.

What are you using to lightning the ink? 🙏🏽
@@jiroHM just use lots of water! ;)
I thought it will be hard use water because it's waterproof 🙄
@@jiroHM it's waterproof when it dries.
I love it

amazing
I want to see if I can load up my brushpen with a diluted waterproof ink and get a similar effect on the go...
You should be able too, but be careful with keeping it too long or letting it dry out.
Ayy!! I JUMPED AT THIS VIDEO!! 🤩
Well.. I hope I get the same luck as One's with my Comic.
Really awesome ❣️
I enjoy your videos very much! When you say “we are working with Kana” who is the “we” ? Thanks for sharing your art with us !
You're so cool, allow me to call you sensei
Hah! Sorry, not laughing at you. I just find it amusing that the end result was too good. I actually thought that before you tried the effect and confirmed it yourself. Good luck finding the correct method you're looking for!
I love Japanese manga and anime and the country too
Not sure if your calligraphy on the sign and lanterns is actual characters or just rough doodles of the characters but they are beautiful !
They are actual characters but I just painted them not so realistically.
@@mattjabbar I actually want to see you do actual japanese calligraphy now!!

A Pentel one but this one is not really good either.
You inspire me so much! Where and how did you learn to draw ?
I really want to draw, but i don't know if i can :/ I am so frustrated sometimes
Quemix you ca
N read a bit about me and my experiences in Japan on my website’s FAQ section mateuszurbanowicz.com

Happy new year in advance 😄😊
Have you published any manga?
I would love to read it with its amazing art
I have one comic called "Yuragi" but I want to do more 👍
You’re working with Canna? I’m excited kwjksj good luck!
Yes, we are doing this project together.
Very nice tonal painting. Did you use a photograph for reference and was it in black and white? Or was this from imagination? thank you
I had some reference for the right side (color) but this is mostly from imagination.
👍👍👍

Can I use blender stuff for digital and it would still count as manga, I'm new to this style

That's the markers I am taking about
@@travixmusic it will not work because the ink is only black in this set. They have similar ones with grays that could work.
@@travixmusic but you will still get this “drawn with markers” uneven look.
What brush did you use? Are my sables safe with this ink?
I'm just beginning with ink. I used here my artificial hair brushes but from what I know Japanese calligraphy artists use sable brushes and comic inkers often use them too (Winsor&Newton Series 7 and such) so you should be OK.
how do you draw perspective correctly? i’m struggling with it.

Mateusz Urbanowicz thank you! i’ll keep this in mind :)
How did you do the affect to the painting?
I converted the picture to bitmap mode in Photoshop.
have he done any night drawing live

太厉害了
Why don't you become a mangaka ? I don't get it...you are soo much gifted with talent 😇😇😇
It's one of the directions I'm aiming for actually as a (would-like-to-be) storyteller.
