Fantastic work. I love how fast you make it sound. I’m still stuck on the first step: “pencils”. My challenge is that not having drawn comics on paper for 30 years, I thought it might be easier to explore all that Clip Studio Ex had to offer. So I want to learn the advanced tutorials, like frames for panels. But maybe all I should do is get started. 😊
Learn as you go, but go go go, because you'll NEVER feel like you're ready. You could draw like John Byrne or Todd McFarland, but somehow, the artist brain will always tell you you're still not ready.
Years ago at a comic con in Vancouver, I showed my portfolio to Keith Giffen. He told me to study a book “drawing the head and figure” that I thought was by Jack Hamm. Apparently if you can get heads and hands right, people ignore the rest you get wrong.
That does make sense. I've seen some really hilarious treatments of anatomy that get a pass as long as the head and hands look okay. (How many abdominals does the human body have again??)
Yeah, I left out the admission that the pencil stage is actually my figure studies for the day. I sit there with Andrew Loomis's book on figure drawing and do the figures and heads. The inks and so on are actually the easiest part!
Ouah fantastique! C'est vraiment incroyable! This is really amazing you've so much talent!

Get started, get started, get started.

That's so cool to see!
It's interesting to me, a non-graphic artist, to see the process. Thanks for the tutorial!
For those of us who lack proficiency in the visual arts, this is a very interesting explanation of how you produce your final result.
Seeing the process behind the art is really interesting. Thanks for sharing!
Excellent work!
