Gotta love the bare minimalist artist they show you that you don't need the newest 3000 dollar equipment in your house to achieve your dream as an artist keep it up
Jewishsky Desloges I loved how she used a simple table lamp as a light box
Yo Utilizo el vidrio y debajo coloco el celular con la app de linterna.
Yep: you need TALENT. Very hard to come by.
About right.
As someone who couldn't afford a laptop and a drawing tablet, this gave me hope that i could still make comics in the digital age 😫
Of course, you can create comics with any tool you like! There are still plenty of artists who draw on paper and that’s a good thing because it brings more diversity to the art styles.
I love that you didn't have to say anything to explain how to make a comic page. It was all visual and self explanatory.
+Hugo Martinez Thank you!
@yunamv: it takes around 2 - 3 days to complete a page. But we usually work on several pages at the same time.
Thank you for the answer :)
+Nono Nana Around 5 months to do a 100p volume (while working on other projects at the same time). The video is a little bit old. We still use basically the same technique but we are now faster. We should do a new video, one of these days...
your technique (the makeshift light box) the music and the storytelling all fits :,)
I like this kind of art in comics. There is something about inks, paints and water on paper that digital colouring just cannot replicate. One can gaze at this art for hours, taking in all the details and work that was put in.
Thank you for your kind words! We like the look of watercolour as well because there’s something unexpected about it: we can’t predict how it will look and we’re often surprised by the result!
I totally agree with you. Digital illustrations and comics have all the same ... digital! look. Hand made illustrations have so much more character.
Damn this is amazing. The patience, focus, flow needed to see out a single page from the comic is really admirable.
This is what I'd imagine a zen mindset would be like.
Thank you! Making comics is definitely a time consuming activity. But, yes, you're right, there's something zen about it ;)
No tienes idea lo mucho que significa este video para mi , como artista, me ha inspirado muchas veces y me relaja solo verlo , gracias por compartir tu arte , lo veo mil veces y mil veces me sigue gustando💕
Muchas gracias! Thank you so much for your kind message!
Who would give this video a thumbs down?!? What's wrong with this damn world?
I know, I was just thinking about that. maybe they're jealous..
Good googly-moogly, that's beautiful. I don't care what people say, traditional methods will always be incredibly valuable.
Thanks a lot for your kind words!
Finally someone who colors by hand
Still one of my favorite videos to watch.
Thank you so much ☺️
jeez ...that is a nice piece of work. I love how manual it is.....all art by hand. Very nice
Thank you for your very kind words! Working on paper is something we like a lot.
Cool, it's good to see that their are still actual artists around who use brushes instead of doing everything on a computer!
Hii
+Sandeep Karouchiya Howdy
+Tyler Blake I try to switch between both and it's still good to see artists who do it on paper but for me, i'm more comfortable with doing it on a computer (i do still draw an equal amount of paper) but i guess it's rather preference of people and it's not a bad thing that people choose to do items on a computer - Art is a large and versatile field, whatever you do - there is no right and wrong, just the different ways that people choose to do things
+InMyDreams I agree with you, digital has it's place but I've heard/read people saying they only use photoshop and can't draw on paper. I think you're doing it right, if you're going to do digital learn both. I dabbled with digital in school but I'm old fashioned and like the feel of paper etc. Plus, there's no such thing as an original with digital- I mean for collectors, museums, etc. Imagine going to an art museum that only had prints or digital screens that the artist had never touched- For me, paper and canvas are also about future generations :)
Tyler Blake I totally agree with you - For me, the best part around going around art museums (I absolutely adore the Tate modern in London) is seeing artwork that is there in the flesh and blood (Well not literally hahaha) - you know that there's only one of it/a limited copy of it - you know that the artist's hands made that, touched the material, put pen/paint/pencil to paper to make it - it's not something of the digital age.
I share your view that we still need to take paper and canvas with us into the future as much as we do digital art so as to preserve methods for future generations and that we don't lose everything to technology and the digital age. To me each of them has their pro's and draw backs - with digital, you can obviously do things and effects that you may not be able to do or it would take a lot longer by hand on paper/canvas but with Paper and canvas, anyone can really do it - you don't have to get the hang of it or buy a fancy drawing tablet.
This is the most beautiful thing I have seen on TH-cam in a long time.
+chris boe We thank you for this very kind message!
Great work! I love how you make the lights in a minimalistik way, pretty much 2 different colours... warm and cold... in this video you can tell, that you are professionals without using light-table, youst chilled, drinking coffee doing comics.... Awesome!
I love just using pencils and computer papers for thumbnail sketches and even feel better going back to basic supplies instead of my iPad since I’m not into using it for artwork and comics❤❤❤❤❤❤❤ Thank you for sharing this video❤❤❤❤❤❤
You’re welcome. We use the iPad a lot too but for sketches paper and pencils is just more intuitive and simple indeed.
I really appreciate how everything is done by hand, even the masking of the dialogue bubbles. Inspiring work!
Hands down one of the most informative, helpful, and inspiring videos I've watched on "how to" anything and especially making comics a reality. (I can't believe how hard it is to get straight forward advice on this medium.) Love a ton and will save and share. ❤
This is absolutely gorgeous! I am truly amazed by your talent. And the music is beautiful as well. You make me want to give water color a second try.
+WildFire707 Thank you! Watercolor deserves a second try. It's a beautiful technique.
This is quite inspiring! The make-shift lightbox (your lap and a lamp) blew my mind!! You do whatever you have to do to get the job done. I'm not gonna cry over any art supply i'm lacking ever again!! Thank you for this
I love the simple setup you have. It really shows how talented you two are.
Hyper beau, merci de nous montrer tout ça
Merci à toi pour ce gentil message !
This was both insightful and beautiful. Thanks for sharing.
I've been using computer programs like GIMP and InkScape to colour my work but I'm thinking of trying water colour because the effect is amazing. Great job guys.
Wow impressive. I realise that the most you take your time, the most your are happy with the result and that is wath's important at the end. Thank you for the silent leason, instructive.
Just awesome!😍
Thanks a lot!
Thank you so much for showing this different way to make comic strips! I hate inking but I love watercolors! This gives me new hope that I can make my own comic book my own way without using ink pens or quills. I hate everything about inking & hate the feel of it too. This is a great alternative! Thank you so much!
Thank you for your comment! Our inking is very clumsy so we were looking for an alternative. We like this one.
Thank you for your video. I'm pretty much self-taught, which means every now and then I see a new technique that saves me a lot of time and frustration. Seeing how meticulous and patient you are makes me feel so much better. I'm always worried that I'm being wasteful with my time, the only thing you can't get back. Watching someone else do what you do is always reaffirming.
And your art is beautiful. Thank you again.
It's important to take the time to do things you want to do! Rushing is a good way to waste time.
agreed.
Spera II Original Soundtrack by Giannis Milonogiannis also I was wondering if im hearing correctly, the first instrument played in the audio of this video was a flute or was it an reed flute or ocarina?
Sorry, we really don't know what instruments Giannis used for the soundtrack.
Awesome!!!!!! Pure art!!!
Thank you!!!
Your level of patience intimidates me immensely!
Drawing comics takes so much time. But it's great to be able to create a story all by yourself.
@@ateliersento Agreed. There's a different level of satisfaction when one creates something of their own, no matter how long it takes !
what a beautiful art, without any software , it inspires me
We spend too much time starring at screens so it's great to take a break and draw on paper.
Atelier Sentô yes I think software can't give that rawness which hand made work provide somehow
give her money! D: Patreon! she's amazing
Ahah, thanks a lot for your kind words!
I have never seen someone use drawing gum on their artwork before. I didn't even know such a thing existed. That's so smart!
It’s like an old magic trick!
can't stop to watch this
GIVE THIS WOMAN A TABLET!

Aha- masking off the whites and the gutters, that gave them a nice sharp line there.

Subscribed.
Thanks for the kind words! Your music is wonderful!
Thanks, I am just getting back on track with creating new music and the latest attempts sound like error sounds of an old ATARI 2600 console :( hehe. But thanks :)
Thank you for sharing this art in progress video.
Makes me kinda feel guilty for not following my passion in life, drawing...

Very well done video. Actually helpful for someone looking up on how to do this proper. Thanks
+harish iyer Thank you!
awesome! Thanks for sharing. Soo beautyfull !!
Beautiful work
this is really great! This has inspired me to make my own comic book series!... (7 minutes later).... MAN THIS IS TOO HARD, THIS IS WACK?!?!
Haha, the 7 first minutes are the hardest!
Just keep on making comics dude. I know it is difficult and makes you lazy but you'll get used to it. Once you keep on going, you'll enjoy it. Try making a daily autobiographical comic with a 4 or 6 panel or easier, 3. Its easy and simple.
Beautiful work, and very informative video. Thank you for sharing!
Your work is beautiful!!!!!!!!!
This is beautiful I’m working on a comic my self at the moment so the layout is vary helpful for ideas
Thank you, we’re glad this video was helpful. Have fun with your comic!
So Beautiful
Thank you!
My dream is to make a comic, I tried but I have difficulty concentrating, I have struggled against this, because I love drawing since I was a child, now I'm already a little old but I love drawing and arts and this is forever.
We used to work slowly, drawing on big pages. But we noticed it's better to make comics on small pages: now we draw on A5 pages: it's really fast and we like the result. Our advice would be to create short stories and draw them on small pages. Maybe it will be easier this way?
Fantastic!good luck for your work
That was smart to use a lamp as a "lightbox" when tracing. Nice artwork as well! :)
WOOOOOW amazing art work
Impressive! Never thought of using a simple black colored pencil for the china ink part! You got a new fan here!
no lightbox,no problem! excellent job!! very smart Idea!
+poisonelvis i've put a portable emergency light under a glass table for tracing. i was eight, didn't even know that there's such thing as lightbox. Back theno it was a way to mass produce my art to sell to my fellow classmates lol
This is amazing to watch. Fantastic skills and beautiful end product!
Amazing work. So meticulous!
Wow! That's beautiful!
Thanks a lot!
Damn girl! Beautiful work!
Thank you!
Thank you so much for sharing. The video is both inspiring and informative!
Really Nice. 👏
Thank you!
This was such an awesome process to watch, thanks for sharing!
Really, really awesome
Such delicate process, and such great artwork. Respect! Keep it up :D
Thanks a lot for your kind words!
Np :3
wow, that drop covering technique!! You are very intelligent!
I really like the style this is drawn in! I'm also particular drawn to comics that are watercolor painted. It's easier on the eyes than most digitally colored comics I've seen. Thanks for sharing :)
the end result looks so beautiful!!
Lovely drawing
Thank you!
