How I Ink a Manga Page.

[egyptian316]

Every time I see someone use a ruler to draw a straight line I flash back to my school days, with my old drafting teacher yelling at us. "Use your triangle! A ruler is ONLY for measuring!" Old habits die hard. :)

[silverstar145]

did you make it into scad?

[MGOWNER1]

i will be moving to japan... if you ever happen to go to shounen jump to submit your work. then RIVALRY IS A WORD TO BE kNOWN.

[Jaylink15]

wow, how long have you been drawing for? :) im a scorpian

[Icemilo14]

Im a scorpion

[SuperFastTortoise]

Coco-Sensei ... Have You Ever Considered Actually Getting Into The Business? xDD

[lovejapan3000]

you fantastic good job i like all drawings you made it thinx

[x70XCOOLXx]

im capricorn

[Jawbonesword50]

i wonder if you have any tips for inking digitaly.

[MagnaCarta2Love]

@cocoman896 hey, you are very good to drawing bro :D you use a fude pen for ink ?

[machsky77]

cool

[suruxcv]

so where do you buy your B4 or A4 manuscript paper.

[bradleycontois]

what zodiac are you. im libra

[cocoman896]

@bradleycontois Im a Capricorn. :)

[bradleycontois]

@cocoman896 i see :D see i have this thoery that manga or comic book artists skill and progression as artist is based on their zodiac sign and from what i see im right so far xD

[bradleycontois]

@cocoman896 not being rude tho capricorns are cool :D.. also as a libra since we like harmony its a make or break when you 1st start drawing. cuz it could go either way. im not as great as id liek to be as an artisst and i cant stop indefinitely some times ill be filled with unbearable optimism that i can do it this time. which is why even tho im not as great as id liek to be i wont stop. ugh i went off topic but im sure wed get along :D

[FlaminFOX100]

Hi can i ask you a question shinto what do use to ink the actual person inside the outline, and what do use to ink the outline. I wanted to buy the pigma micron whole set toink everything with but is that enough, btw i read ur description oon the items u used to ink.

[cocoman896]

@FlaminFOX100 I used to ink with microns, now I do everything digitally. Pigma microns will work just fine. That or nib pens.

[FlaminFOX100]

@cocoman896 like u mean the packet of microns from size 005 to 08 right?

[LadyShirahime93]

Wow. :0 this is amazing. I hope one day you can become a mangaka so I can read your stuff. I admit, 90% of the reason I read manga is for the artwork. The other 10 is for the story. But seriously, keep it up dude!

[XxRavenUchihaxX]

the paper under the drawing hand is a really good idea, imma do that xD!

[kiarzzz123]

wow this is so awesome black manga artists are so cool! you inspire duude! :D

[njabz47]

dude i cant find u in da could u find me so i can find you.njabz

[LTCJ2006]

This might be a dumb question: Why do you use so many DIFFERENT ink pens? Your using brushes, pens, and the G-Pen... Why?

[LTCJ2006]

It seems like left-handed people have awesome talent. Especially for art! :-D I wish I was a Lefty... :-/

[Angeliclily]

LEFTIES UNITE. XD

[mangakallector]

That is a badass drawing! xD Do you like Bleach at all? I can see you might be inspired because the eyes kind of look like Tite Kubos. Dont get the wrong idea, I am inspired by artists too :) CLAMP is mine.

[AceMccoy24]

left handers ROCK! GREAT JOB BY THE WAY

[thomasthetans]

how do you do the gray shading? with a pencil?

[extrememonaXXX]

you're awesome dude, I hope you achieve your dreams someday :)

are one of your dreams to become  a mangaka? you should go to Japan someday dude. I have plan for it but I don't know if I'll ever stick to it since it's not a very solid plan.

I think most anime/manga lovers' dreams is to become a mangaka but of course there are obstacles, I like drawing.... or should I say love them but I don't know whether I cud make it big someday but you will :)

[Dressommer]

what kind of ink, pens do you use? :)

And Im actually also curios about your paper.

[AleKaiLin]

Wooow awesome this inspired me :) , I love the fierce look of the character, it´s very powerful. Keep up the good work!! x3

[siyome]

You're amazing, I wish I could do things like this, I guess I just need to work harder!

This really inspired me :)

[AiKagiSAN]

cool; your art looks awesome! :D

[EpicShalaylex]

Hahaha I'm not a pro, :)But will be one day! for now, I'm stuck here using regular pens, sharpies, and line paper, BUT that doesn't stop me!

YOUR DRAWINGS ROCK! I know you'll make it to one of the top best Manga-ka! I'll be on the list with you! :D

[CloudSyler]

Awesome!! I love ur style!^^ Great job!^^

[SketchBoy94]

Yo this was great man your really good I want to go to SCAD and I want to be a manga artist and possibly a anime artist but minly manga and your really good so do you have any tips for me because I really need all the help i can get...im really good with pencils and sketchingI like to make characters ive never really inked any of my drawings im afraid ill mess them up but also do most manga artists usually use ink in there art?

[cocoman896]

@SketchBoy94 THx I appreciate it. Well I would say if you and to be a manga artist you should learn to use ink. I meannot all manga artist use ink. Some stick strictly to pencil. But 90% of manga artist use ink so suck it up, get rid of the fear and do it. You'll never know if your any good at it if you don't try.

[alejandrothefader]

@cocoman896 nice work! im learning to ink manga style now and it's hard! it's not like normal sketching with ink!! :/

[SketchBoy94]

@SketchBoy94 thanks for the tips and im going to ink one of my drawings asap peace!

[mylao1]

@SketchBoy94 yes i have never heard of a manga artist not inking their work.

[Lucas4Manga]

@SketchBoy94 I have the same goal . I want to be a mangaka and also go to SCAD in downtown Atlanta ,but sadly for me I have a LOoooNNGG way to go...XD Good luck though!

[Lucas4Manga]

@SketchBoy94 Oh also go to the website How To Draw Manga.com .It is a university in Japan thats teaches people how to draw manga from professionals.It might just be useful..

[SketchBoy94]

@Lucas4Manga yeah Ive been there before there good...and good luck on getting into SCAD!!!

[CoquelicotVert]

for some stupid reason i had never though a black manga artist could exist...-_-' poor me....

[GWConspiracy]

Cool I use the Sakura Pigma Ink Pens too!

[TheTLN15]

Dude you are beast. Your art kicks ass bro. I'm good myself. you could check them out if you have time. my channel is [TheTLN15]

[RikuAxelCloud]

This makes me want to cry...I wish I was this good!

[FlavoredHeart]

You seem really experienced, and it looks great! I've got a question, if you've ever used the pigma brush, do you know if it's actually able to produce thin lines? I'm looking for a marker that reacts to pressure (drawing thinner and thicker lines) and I haven't found any demo online. Thanks a lot!

[KittyDreadful]

is that india ink and how long does it take to dry?

[belovedGhost777]

Yay someone how apreciates sakura pens! xD

[KobePeat]

OMG. WHAT A BOSS.

[hirumaslover21]

this may sound stupid but i saw u erasing alot, do u do it carefully so ur drawing dosen't erase itself or is it already lightly inked, im abit confused thats all

[csj2112]

DON’T READ THIS IS CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS!YOU WILL GET KISSED ON THE NEAREST POSSIBLE FRIDAY BUT THE LOVE OF YOUR LIFE. TOMORROW WILL BE THE BEST DAY OF YOUR LIFE. HOWEVER IF YOU DO NOT POST THIS TO 3 VIDEOS YOU WILL DIE WITHIN 2 DAYS. HOW YOU HAVE STARTED READING THIS DON’T STOP. THIS IS SO SCARY. PUT THIS ON AT LEAST 5 VIDEOS IN 143 MINUTES WHEN YOUR DONE ORESS F6 AND YOUR CRUSHES NAME WILL APPEAR IN BIG LETTERS ON THE SCREEN. THIS IS SO SCARY CAUSE IT ACTUALLY WORKS

[patrik19951]

You made me jizz..

[antijelly]

woah.... intense

:D

[denizgozu]

@cocoman896, what did you use to do the hand outlines at the beginning?

[antijelly]

@denizgozu thats a sakura micron. cant tell which size though.. 005 is the smallest size

[urfavasian45]

how long did this take?(just inking it)

[cocoman896]

@urfavasian45 Not too long. About 1-2 hours.

[EsaTuomasHavu]

hey, I have question about deleter papers, I have deleter B5 paper, but I dont like it at all, because if I do inking even a little too slow, ink spreads quickly around the paper and just ruins the work, so that linework becomes REALLY ugly >_<

so, is B4 any better? or is it just bigger versio of same product... please, somebody asnwer, its really frustrating :( I use copics etc.

[cocoman896]

@EsaTuomasHavu Well I have been using B4 and I love it. Its the only kind I use.

[xCapturedxButterflyx]

@cocoman896 Which manga/comic manuscript paper are you using ?

Deleter B4 scaleA, or scaleC ?

-thanks in advance.

[gigablackmega]

@EsaTuomasHavu i had the same problem too, and the reason why that happens is because the paper gets ruined if it's around heat or it become warm. if you had the paper around some sort of heat, take it to a cool place and wait for awhile, the paper should be just fine then. if it doesnt work, then something is definitely wrong with the paper >_<

[EsaTuomasHavu]

@gigablackmega thanks for reply, but I´ve found chinese ink which fixes the problem :) if that what you said would had been only way to fix problem, I´d had given up using this paper because that sounds just ridiculous, I have very little work space, if that isnt good enough for my paper then it´s some noble paper for only those millionaire mangakas out there that have huge manor as their work space.

I use b5 because I havent found b4, but I think it´s the same thing, b5 is just smaller.

[mswolfgirl19]

awesomenesss!!!

[AMVoverlord]

do you have a deviantart?

[cocoman896]

@AMVoverlord Yep. Shinto896

[movmultilock]

@cocoman896 Nice to see a Left hander ^^ Thumbs up ^^

[carnagerevolver]

where do you buy your supplies?

[Dantesbollocks]

Very neat and clean inking, good!!. Any good place to purchase the pens online?

[th3azscorpio]

sakura pigmas all the way!

[Jopilatje]

This is GENIUS!!! (and you got the same pens as I) I like your style!

[mster999]

how big is that paper. because I am trying to figure out what size paper I can use for my drawings and since my scanner is only 9 X 12 what should i use? & also ur a very good artist and SCAD is lucky to have u.

[cocoman896]

@mster999 Thx. I apologize for the late reply. I dont know the actual dimensions per say, but I am using B4 paper.

[RyanLkirk]

@cocoman896 The hands in this drawing are amazing. They are perfect.

[nicabaruka]

Is the Sakura Sensei pens good? I'm considering drawing my manga with it...

[AmatatsuShitenshi]

You're very good.

[Cococookiezz]

i hope im as good as u one day :3

[cocoman896]

@Cococookiezz You will never be as good as me.....you will be better.

[TheMagnumGuitar]

[TheMelone8]

[PhillipP93]

Dude, I'm an artist too but my channel has none of my work, you are incredible.

[t260y]

[noodlerooster]

wow thats REALLY good i draw too and trying to make actual comics but its really hard for me[matrial wise] this looks cool is there a way i can read it online? 

[BranmasterG]

Hi, I like to draw anime but like sketchy and stuff do you think the pigma manga-comic micron pens are best for me or the pigma sensei ones?

[JazzyXEdward]

Do you know any stores in America that sale manga pens like G-pens and copic markers? I can't buy anything on the internet anymore.

[eldasto8]

cool work man, be looking forward to all your videos

[jabamac5th]

lol i thought i was the only black person who drew manga =]

[javatar2r]

@jabamac5th lol na ur not alone there

[jabamac5th]

@javatar2r hahaha lol :)

[genjutsugaara]

i thought black guy can't draw

[76renji]

@Sk8Meowfia if your looking for the pigma sensei pens, i got a pack at michles arts and crafts yesterday. if your looking for some, go there.

[NakayoshiShugo]

[MeninoTV]

[aichizou]

lol at end.

[troky109]

how long those it take you make a manga page?

I wish I could have those pens.. hehehe at least I got my tablet

[ZProGamer]

@troky109 well dreams come true if you have money to afford the pens. There a art store called pearl paint [the worlds best discount art supplier] its really good so like if something is 20 dollars at this other store in pearl paint it would be 11 dollars its a really good art store i always go there and all the things that guy is using to make his manga are at that store too

[Jordan71495]

@Metalcortaku try thicker inks, thiner inks are more watery so they tend to bleed and smudge.

[carasu123]

yesss my friend claims she cant manga cuz black people cant draw manga so ha sirrena i hav proof

[uresai]

@carasu123 your friend dumb

[rhi151223]

Niiice ^^ I hold my pencil like that too!! Except--er, right handed... Anywaaays... I will steal your drawing powahh over the internets. Just you wait and see.

[antoniomanley]

Dude Say i got a different manga inking pens of what ever does it matter witch pencil or eraser i used to draw it and then after i ink it erase the lines does it matter witch pencil i use?

[Metalcortaku]

Great stuff, man! I also have been using deleter B4 paper that you use, but whenever I try inking on it with my dip pen (deleter g-pen and speedball ink), my ink tends to bleed alot, making my lines look really awful. Anyway I could prevent that or does it have something to do with the ink? Any tips would be much appreciated!

[cocoman896]

@Sk8Meowfia Sure. I used Deleter G-Pens with Deleter Black Ink (Deleter White ink for Corrections) B4 size Deleter Paper, Sakura Micron and Pigma Sensei Pens. Which can all be found at Akadot Retail dot com

[OmniKaosu]

@cocoman896 is a sharpy consider an ink like a micron pen or those 2 have different function.

[Imaginashun]

awesome drawing ^.^

lol i got a big sakura ink pack for my birthday xP their nice markers :]

[skyarsalan]

what type of paper are you using?

[cocoman896]

@skyarsalan I am using B4 Deleter paper, which can be found at Akadot Retail online store.

[squidy2343]

Cool, I really like the picture. Hey no worries, people say I hold my pencil weird too.

[antoniomanley]

Cool but where did you get those supplies

[Metalcortaku]

@antoniomanley google "akadot retail".

[gerzaa9]

Did you make it to SCAD? If so- do you like the school there?

[mehahaha3]

Hey man sry if this is personal but did you go to penta career center in perrysburg ohio?

[cocoman896]

@mehahaha3 Nope.Never been to Ohio. :/

[mehahaha3]

@cocoman896 ah alright man. you just looked familiar .

[hamster3467]

you're a beast :D

So you're going into SCAD?? that's so cool!

[xXmilkywayXx]

nice vid^^

but i have a question which ink do you use?

my black ink is always so...bright

[cocoman896]

@xXmilkywayXx Thx. I use Deleter ink. It is nice black in. And Sakura Micron pens along with copic multiliners. =D

[marinlabyrinth]

whoa you're a guy?? didn't see that coming

[cocoman896]

@marinlabyrinth ok?

[marinlabyrinth]

@cocoman896 hehehe it's just that usually men can't draw pretty manga men....so good for you XD

[xXxblackraiinxXx]

amazing!

[HeatLegs]

Is your manga out yet? And who do you work for?

[Serkant75]

would be much better if the camera angle would show how the pencils draws on paper, but you are left handed perhaps its that why? and holding your pencil very deep in your hand ^°

[BlackRose2354]

I have finally found a true mangaka god XD. I shall worship your videos (im partly kidding, not to sound creepy, but your that fricking good!!!)

Dude, i'd honored if you could check out my two measly but failry good videos. I'm an amature mangaka that draws her stories for fun as a hobby (but secretly wishes for some big time.... or at least small-time manga editor to discover her).

also, did I mention your drawings are frickin sick!?! I didn't? well they are, dude!!!

[Sharkhearts101]

lol that how i hold my pen

i kind have a fist looking way of holding it

lol

[ladylidoine]

that looks amazing! u got crazy inking skills!

[maxiecute015]

i just wonder..... why do you keep on rotating the paper? when i use ink i don't rotate it....

[cocoman896]

@maxiecute015 Rotating the paper makes it easier not only for you to draw but to ink as well. Your hand has to move in different angles while inking. And rotating the paper makes it easier for you and lowers your chances of making a mistake.

[maxiecute015]

@cocoman896 thanks

[blackxknight]

you're really good!! i didn't notice you're left handed lol.

btw, what kind of paper did you use? i want to buy some paper for drawing and inking and i had a hard time to find the correct one. please? i appreciate it!

[cocoman896]

@blackxknight Thx XD I use Deleter B4 size paper. From Akadot(dot) com

[francosj12]

You're left handed!!!! lol

[Miganishi]

This looks really cool!

[mrKurosaki100]

we, professional manga artists use a bigger size of paper, like a 11x14 or more.This is because when the editorial scans it & edits the page(if the paper is small) it wont have good definition.But if its a big size page it will have great definition.Besides if you use a big paper you'l have plenty space to draw! Try using BRISTOL(CANSON) PAPER instead.

[cocoman896]

@mrKurosaki100  THis is B4 for size aper. This is for professionally printed manga. It is the same size professional manga artist use in japan. American comic artist use mostly bristol.

[nipahdesune]

Your art is frickin' kickass. You have super talent, you ought to be proud. : D

[zatagag]

if I could only get one pen nib that was deleter which should i get??

[cocoman896]

@zatagag Definitely the G-pen. A lot of versatility.

[mrKurosaki100]

@zatagag g-pen.Also there's kabura pen

[zatagag]

@mrKurosaki100 yea except i know that the g pen makes the lines look better but kabura easier to use

[zatagag]

Hey what do you use to fill in all the ink in spot where its completely black

[cocoman896]

@zatagag Well i usually use a brush pen but a sharpie works too. =D

[lologirl11]

wow you taught yourself how to draw like this? im jealous lol awesome work :D

[ordomigato]

Hey. before drawing manga did you have to learn drawing real life objects :o?
