[metalslugfreak15]

How about making a four panel manga?

[legomybutt]

@TH3N00B675 i...i dont know......

[TH3N00B675]

what is his secret?

[SuperSims999]

I want to ask you... are you books ok for a 12 year old girl ?

[Kreanlorii]

@SuperSims999 Ive read Miki Falls. And it looks perfectly fine for really any age. not to spoil anything but there is like a few violent scenes that really arent that bad. and if you have to be sheltered from slightly violent scenes by age 12 you should probably talk to your parents about letting you read mroe mature stuff I guess. otherwise then that Miki Falls is a great series I definately reccomend it to everyone.

[AleksandarM92]

click 240p for audio!

[19elvie87]

i always did find it hard to actually put panting sounds to words,

well, here we have it!!

it goes "HNNH.HNNH,HNNH"

(^_^)

[ALEAHislaZy]

miki Falls isnt even bacwards !!!

[JzoneMedia]

where's da sound? :(

[KittyKatLover14]

@JzoneMedia 240p for sound :D

[kevinlem1]

This can help. Thank You Mark Crilley.

[Zennar]

There's...supposed to be some sort of sound, right?

Though the pictures themselves speak a lot from themselves, sound would add a fairly bit more of information.

[511mohammad]

@Zennar 240p for the sound...

[Zennar]

@511mohammad thx alot! Though thats a strange bug.

[511mohammad]

@Zennar i know right?

[xdazee]

Please please please please please DO MORE OF THESE COMIC TUTORIALS!! Seeeriously, I watched like ALL of your videos from the beginning one with mio to the last one (so far) with the random line challenge and I found that the most interesting/ helpful tutorials are the ones about

[d34thblack]

this is more of a comic than a manga!

[samielle7823]

i just noticed after watching this vid that he has a ring on his left hand (i think!) and it's on his ring finger! Mark is that your wedding ring? If it is, it's on the wrong hand.

[Varsuvias]

@samielle7823 The left hand is the hand you wear rings on. At least I think so... if not, my Dad has been doing it wrong for 30 years :P

[Jimster185]

I'm just training, send me a tutorial or two please! I really wanna make my own manga.

[charlyxcake]

[gundam0010001]

wat do iu use to make your manga

[gundam0010001]

is there audio or somethin

[XPWiFi]

@gundam0010001 Just turn it to 240p. It works like that on a lot of his videos.

[Konkyz]

@wrencheskings13 Plan it, and use a computer to add the " bubbles " in after your illustrations.. thats how many pros do it.. it saves them time

[PatrickEatZombie]

bone FTW

[2hopelessromantic]

I'm working on this stage of my own comic/manga. I make mine kinda detailed because it helps me get practice in while preparing the layout and it helps me plan out the lesser characters I haven't designed fully yet. This is a great video, great help!

[nAdIe8015]

its a melas putta kabron what is it?

[tHaToNeNeRdYcHiCk]

Is this the layout used in his books? The six boxes on each page?

[warpfyre]

@tHaToNeNeRdYcHiCk i havent seen any of his books ( sadly) , but rewatch the video ,at around 16:10 he talks abit about that.

[rainbowyoshi12]

Lol NARUTO

[sadkitty4]

Yeshhh -;D

[pedrosantossilva1]

Thanks so much! Dude, you really helped me!

[myvote99]

Wow... I can't believe that... Your storyboard looks just about as good as my finished drawings =0-0=

[MissFabulousAngel]

this one lost its audio D:

[myvote99]

@MissFabulousAngel Just change it to 240p :3 It works for me!

[MissFabulousAngel]

@myvote99 thanks ill give that a try :) ♥

[myvote99]

@MissFabulousAngel You're welcome :3 Let me know if it works for you!!

[MissFabulousAngel]

@myvote99 It works great! i was worried for a second but thanks to you♥ you rock!

[myvote99]

@MissFabulousAngel Awww =^-^= Thank you!! <3

[Piffman25]

How do you know where to put the boxes? Because there's always that space between the boxes and the border of the page. Also, anyone how what  the dimensions of manga pages are? I can't seem to find that answer.

[Salien1999]

He meantioned 3 pages with six panels. 666

[Piffman25]

@Salien1999 Or 18 panels.

[Salien1999]

@Piffman25 I didn't mean to multiply, three sixes. :D (BTW, I don't worship the devil).

[sassuke417]

where do u publish them

[ScarletRoseYuki]

@markcrilley I realy love your video's and they have been a great help and still are, but when are you making a video how to do the text in manga , kinda don't know how to do that =p

[CreatorOfCastell]

how did you publish your comics? :0 i make comic books and someday i wanna publish them, also that i wanna turn it into a show :D

[VulgarIniquities]

hey people, i can say how he put the text in...COMPUTER. i would use gimp and put in the box, and then choose the right font and type it in

[joker9494949494]

@VulgarIniquities he could've done it by hand with an ames lettering guide? or he could've just wrote it in plain and simple. how would you know?

[VulgarIniquities]

@joker9494949494

because, theres no darker or lighter lines in the letters like there always is unless he used marker, which he didnt. the layout was done with pencil, but the final was computer editing

[NightAn93l]

@VulgarIniquities Your right , the letters are too perfect to be done by hand. Even if it was done by marker, you'd still see some type of indication of hand writing. So yeah it had to be computer editing.

[monsterthing2]

"nothing brilliant"!?!??! Your quick sketches are way better than my final work! Well mainly the hands, poses, and legs...so everything but the faces :D

[melodylavender]

@monsterthing2 yup never could i argue there!!! ;)

[Tonn0001]

You are great artist. I have one question. How are You doing the text in the manga?

Please tell me!

[ImDeejian]

If you want real comics complex squaring, look at Fables.

[GNANIALESSIO]

but the writing, how did you enter?

[xxxTankDempseyxxx]

You are the best artist in the world, whenever i go to a book store next im deffenetly going to get Miki Falls

[heartsandstars98]

[Rosemary1225]

[jorisding]

@Rosemary1225 i dont know yet but i have enough time to think about it :)

[mehleavemealone]

6:45 Mr. Crilley I beg to differ. Even your rough thumbnail sketches are beautiful. Heck you're stick figures are probably gorgeous.

[darkraihunter1]

[AppleCosplay]

[cy750]

[TheJbox1999]

[ztpunk123]

[Invaderkibachan2]

@ztpunk123 I've seen it at most comic stores and Borders~

[UniYuki1snow]

I read that manga!!But the library didn't have the third volume so i was mad!It was awesome and thanks for the tutorial. ^U^

[reaperff7]

after reading manga like bakuman and seeing crilly's work from high school im starting to wonder if it even makes sense to try to learn this stuff.it looks like you have to be very good at drawing from an early age like in middle school to even stand a chance at manga. im nineteen now and wanted to be an animator but now im wondering if it would do me any good....i may be too late

[Kyorere23]

@reaperff7 its never too late. just keep practicing, draw every day, you'll be better in no time :D

[eclipsemoon98]

@reaperff7 LUCKY ME!!!! Im in 6th Grade and I just started drawing Manga at the beginning of the school year ^_^ and its actually not that hard at all...its just a few simple shapes you draw for the skeleton then add details ^_^ EASY!

[reaperff7]

@eclipsemoon98 thats great, but i dont think its that simple. be sure to pay attention to your line quality as you draw too. and good luck btw, these are your glory years XD

[TheCrazedKitten]

Annnnd. PUT THE VIDEO TO 240!!!! It gives the audio!

[TheCrazedKitten]

[TheMcdjc1]

&fmt=18 for ive sound

[zerowazz]

what happend to the sound?

[BullzEye4321]

@mzarzcki20 tnx alot

[Lamentus]

are the paper sheets ,he is using, A3 size?

[XxWarArtistxX]

The audio is gone so anyone who wants to know what he said he basically just starts by writing the script, once thats done he does a thumbnail, which are just small rough outlines of how its going to look before finally making the good draft.

[Sonamycomm]

he's gonna slap her

[mzarzycki20]

Just put &fmt=18 after the address for the sound
