    This guy is what some other youtube artists should be like, simple directions not "first you have to get all the colours to copic brush pens then get all different kinds of rubbers sharpner for that and sharpner for this". But he's actually different from the others, for example when he was doing the 1 hour mini comic challenge. He didn't do it for just us he did it for him to give him a good challenge. Unlike jazza ( which I still very respect btw ) who just does something simular to something else like some sort of pen or marker or some tack and clay.and also When he thinks we didn't get it he uploads another one, and because he failed on the last one so he tried again for his sake and for ours.

But I'm having trouble knowing if it's going to make people laugh or not. Any sure fire ways to keep things comedically appealing?

    • @MarshMakesComics
      @MarshMakesComics  4 ปีที่แล้ว +2

      I think surprise and irony is at the heart of comedy. Lead people one way and then the punchline is something that the audience didn't expect. Maybe because it's the opposite of what they thought or just different in an ironic way. Also be clear and try to make sure the timing (pacing) is right. Hope that helps!

    • @MarshMakesComics
      @MarshMakesComics  5 ปีที่แล้ว +3

      Yes there's all kinds of options for paper thickness I don't know the specifics but I would say just experiment with different ones to figure out which one you like. People who make mini comics will make them out of anything including just typical computer paper. I used a little bit thicker paper and a very light cardboard stock for the cover on this one. 😎
