Thanks Drew! Another great video. Very clear and concise, think your colour palettes are quite an important part of your artwork/comic stories. Tight palette of soft tonal colours allowing good use of lights and darks! really love them! Thanks again.
Thank you, Oliver. I do seem to like a muted palette. Perhaps it goes with my personality haha. I do like to do a colour balance adjustment with my colours too, to keep them cohesive.
This was so much fun to watch. I started making some sequential art last year and really enjoyed it. Now I feel inspired to do more! Love your videos and your style. Thanks for sharing your skills and know-how with us!
As many have rightfully) pointed out this video is incredibly concise and informative! I can tell a lot of care was put into this video and it brings me joy! All the little changes to keep the video engaging, playing with language and formatt to match what youre teaching with the video media. You're an amazing comic artist, teacher, and video maker! This is genuinely an incredible video!
This is great, it is going to help me out immensely. Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge on drawing comics. I’m so grateful I found your you tube channel. Can’t wait for more helpful tips and instruction. You make it easy to comprehend.
@@Drewscape-art Thank you! In particular, here are the specific similarities I noticed: In fiction writing, it's important to give information in the right order, to avoid confusion, just like how in comics, it may be useful to orient the reader with a wide shot. Fiction also "zooms" in and out, so to speak. To "zoom out," in fiction, the writer can use more impersonal language, to describe a scene in a straightforward manner, without overwhelming the read. To "zoom in," the writer can use more characterful or sensory language. You can even control time, in fiction, by changing the length of sentences, or by changing their rhythm. You can even use line-breaks to create physical space on the page, just like with comics, or by changing the length of your paragraphs.
Oh wow. Thank you for making that connection clearer. I can see that now and I can see how that works. Yeah in poetry books, they use space and line breaks control the rhythm and pace too. And wide and closeups in terms of description is a good way to see it. Love it. Thanks for taking time to write it out here:)
Brilliant! You're a great teacher. I've watched some other videos teaching the principles of drawing comics but you make it the easiest to understand, just like the way you guide your readers eyes through your comics ;)
So good! Thank you for blessing us with your observations, I'm taking notes. I always love your comic & drawing insights, and your approachable, humble teaching style :)
Thanks for watching. Im glad I’m contributing something useful to the art community. And it’s encouraging knowing that it is received well. Thanks for the feedback, Colin.
Haha I hope you have fun at the comic workshop. Yeah perhaps these basics lay some ground work to build upon. Every artist will teach something different😄 but of course the real fun for me is when I can tell my own stories any way I want I my own comics:)
Welcome! Well I can write comic but I’m still learning and figuring character development better myself. When I have a clearer picture about that, I may share. But I find that learning from scriptwriters on Film Courage really helpful. Especially this one: th-cam.com/video/U9V4rEQnle8/w-d-xo.htmlsi=je7hiFLTanIrSSsi
Thanks so much for the reply. I think I was confused about what I was asking. I guess I was trying to ask about how you came up with how your character looks. (The drawings of the people in your comics) It's very appealing to look at them, and the background are too. Thanks again for sharing your videos@@Drewscape-art
@@finley624 Ah thanks for clarifying. Yeah ok, I could go into how I draw characters at some point. And there are so many ways with so many mediums. But primarily, it always comes down to getting the tonal values right to make the scene look good. That part, I covered it here: Control where people look using tonal values th-cam.com/video/U0JM_xtRIa0/w-d-xo.html
Drew, wow…thank you so much, this video was comic book making gold! So much wonderful info. You so beautifully clarified your process, I had light bulbs💡 going on over and over!! It’s always a joy to get your thoughts and insights 🎉😂👍🏽
Ha thanks for the note! Every comic artist will explain it in a different way. Glad you like my explanations and find it helpful. It makes all the effort feel worth it:)
The guy in the forest? That’s just one of the stories in my graphic novel, Monsters, Miracles & Mayonnaise. That one was drawing with a simple ball point pen on photocopy paper. With colours added in photoshop:)

Love how straightforward and concise your lessons are. Just right to the point and described perfectly.
Thanks! I love trying to make things simple for myself and others:)
extremely concise and informative. Thanks.

The spacing advice is a great tip
Thanks Dr Bubble:)
This is one of the most informative videos on comics I’ve ever seen! Thank you!
Haha thanks! It’s just what I repeat to my students at school. So I thought, if I make a video, I won’t have to repeat so many times😄
You’re a great teacher.
I’m glad I managed to put it together in a way that makes sense😄
This was so much fun to watch. I started making some sequential art last year and really enjoyed it. Now I feel inspired to do more! Love your videos and your style. Thanks for sharing your skills and know-how with us!
Yeah sequential art does seem to add another dimension to drawing. Glad that I’m able to encourage fellow artists in this area:)

Thank you so much for your note. I’d glad makes sense and is well received:) hopefully it will encourage more artists to attempt to draw comics:)
Thank you soooo much for these great instructions! And for the video itself which is as great as your wonderful comics.😊
I did one a few weeks back but I overworked it . I did get some good feedback though. Thank you for your tips. I’m making notes
It’s great u are practicing doing them! We do get better the more we do and figure out more stuff along the way:)
genuinely such helpful advice
This is great, it is going to help me out immensely. Thanks for sharing your vast knowledge on drawing comics. I’m so grateful I found your you tube channel. Can’t wait for more helpful tips and instruction. You make it easy to comprehend.
I’m just sharing what I know so far and I’m glad that it’s already helpful in some ways:) Hope it helps make your comics even better:)
It's interesting how much of this advice also applies to fiction writing. Great video! Thank you!
That’s an interesting observation. I will think about that. Thanks!

Aw shucks thanks. I still learning to teach better especially on TH-cam. So this is a nice encouragement for me. Thank you!

Thanks for watching. Im glad I’m contributing something useful to the art community. And it’s encouraging knowing that it is received well. Thanks for the feedback, Colin.
this is such a helpful video thank you! these are some really good basics that make any comic legible and understandable.
Glad u think it’s helpful:) Yes I think clarity of reading is probably more important than a very cool comic drawing style.
Thank you so much! This was very helpful as I'm thinking of going to a comics workshop as a non-comics artist. 😅 Now I feel like I might blend in...
Haha I hope you have fun at the comic workshop. Yeah perhaps these basics lay some ground work to build upon. Every artist will teach something different😄 but of course the real fun for me is when I can tell my own stories any way I want I my own comics:)
Looking forward to control time 😊
Haha yes you can do it:)
Thankyou. This was a stupefying glimpse in comic science. I love this so many thanks.
“Comic science”- I like that!😄
Very informative.
Excellent! Holy cow thanks!
You're welcome!
Thank you so much!
So glad you made this video. It’s very easy to understand. I’d love to hear you talk about character development and how you place them in scenes.
