[MrVamp09]

srry if its a stupid question but ive never been able to tell the difference

[tomjary]

[himintan11]

YEAH OLD SCHOOL!

[2010tinawowo]

OLD SCHOOL :D

[ipodsucksballs]

we need more professionals like this doing more videos like this.

[Jon3718]

I completely agree on the digital thing! I hate digital shit.

[Diego1999ist]

0:25 - 0:33 hilarious! :D

[pampamproductions]

This guy is awesome

[gleetus]

what size and kind of paper do you use?

[TheJack4real]

HOLY CRAP, i have the lights on right now and im not using them! my whole family's going to hell?!! D:

[wizardworld]

Very nice video, keep doing your thing man.

[Hippyjonnycomics]

cool guy, his comics are a bit meh tho

[heljta]

All the stuff like Doug' s books, all of them, and that sumi ink, etc etc, can be easely find on Amazon. At least i did.

[kave213vids]

man, i love this guy.

[Vampirelove300]

Thank you!!!! i feel so dirty when i use computers traditions all the way its more you in it when you take the time to do it by hand <3 you feel so acomplished!!

[Haruko95]

where did you learn to do all this? (making comics, was it at school or did you learn it on your own?)

[Armaan8014]

You know what? Making a comic is probably one of the most time- consuming and maddening things for me. Each panel needs to be drawn perfectly, and that's something I don't have the patience for.

So respect for this guy (and all comic artists)

[myassin2009]

@Armaan8014 you won't get far in life with that attitude. 

[PotatoeBatteryGlad0s]

Ghostopolis was awesome. Burnt hair is not.

[MindOfCreativity]

Where can I find more of your stuff?

[Comickid1000]

Please tell me where i can find some of this guys comics! I looked at all the local comic stores & book stores, and i cannot find his work anywhere!

[iwannashFarUapCovKa]

yeah i love doug.

[TheDAAbercrombie]

its incredible how loose you pencils are, i cant ink black areas without penciling where i want the shadows (very tight, very controlled) but you just jump in and it jus blows me away, your incredible, do you have any work i can pic up from a book store that you would suggest i should check out?

[Diego1999ist]

where do I get that japanese ink?? :/

[glenn55555]

@Diego1999ist any art store around, just ask the owner, they'll be shure to have it, and it's not that expensive

[Diego1999ist]

@glenn55555 thanks! :D

[TimeshipStudio]

Good work, Dough! We love your Ghostoplis and we look for ward for the Disney movie. Actually, your last websinar about Manga Studio EX in March 2011 is what made us buy that great software and switch from traditional to digital inking ;-)

[DoubleFeo]

your awsome

[agenthoneywell]

I loved Ratfist and Earthworm Jim. Then I found out about your political and religious beliefs. And then I read the blogs you contribute to Big Hollywood. Now you make me sad.

[Logan63b]

Nice video Doug! Good work!

[cakalayjian]

Amen to the traditional media support!!

[nateriv456]

man!!!your one of the greatest comic illustrator.....i idolized you sir

[dimsumboy22]

Doug Tennapel ... the man who invented Earth Worm Jim?

[HumanLies]

Your fucking god.

[AdrianSmithfanboy]

What's the song from 0:08 ?!?! the bass sounds totally like from the early Iron Maiden stuff?!?!?!!!!!

[RandomChris46]

epic last name i wish i had it

[crazyk951]

@1212EricB Do you add color to your graphic novels?

[MONOxHAND]

I love this guy. He is a badass

[Handskumduckling]

His inking is very kinetic, very cool in a nice spastic way =D

[Ozelotzonkatl]

Thanks for sharing :o)

[deepart15]

You know i am righting a book that i called power up? i gauss i have to think of a new name now lol.

[DrawASketch]

7:30 damn what a drawing

love this guy... i wanna be a comic book artist later...

please check my drawings if you like ^-^

[PuzzledAardvark]

your messed up. hell doesn't exist, the only bad thing about keeping the lights on is because of the electricity used up and it damages the environment and you have to pay extra

[n8sega]

you look like that one dude from modern family.

[wohoSG]

seriously jealous of that drawing style lol ... ive been practicing for 1 year and im STILL SHIT!

[Cartoonkid111]

@wohoSG You have to practice a lot longer than 1 year to be good. Of course, It all just depends on what you think is "Good". If I thought that someone was my idol it doesn't mean that you think he's good. Practice all the time and eventually you'll be quite satisfied with your work.

Good luck!

[Comickid1000]

wait, is your book sold at comic stores, or do you just make them and never publish, because you look and sound like a very good artist/writer/inker/etc

[Comickid1000]

wait is your book sold at comic stores or do you just make them and never publish

[Sharkhearts101]

you sound like bill murry

[supremelysupreme]

cool...

[powerkor]

awesome man, I never seen how you actually do this

[personcheese1234]

he is a man of his craft

[Eckori]

inspiring sir. I make home made comics, never good at computers, so I've been using colored pencils. I felt also more complete working my ass off coloring then watching people digitally do it in a day or something. One question I have, what paper are you using right now to ink on?

[creepishninja]

go doug!

[larsreal9]

Fuck yeah! I saw that as a little kid, have no idea if it's good or not.

Oh and I read Creature Tech and loved it but I had no idea who Doug Tennaple was, now I have to read all his stuff. Amazing artist, I learned a lot about inking from that book

[BankruptMonopoly]

Doug Tennapel has some major talent. The Neverhood is a direct result of his genius.

[larsreal9]

2:36 was that from a movie, it seems fimiliar. Maybe I'm wrong but if it is can anyone tell me what movie.

[1212EricB]

It's from a movie called Street Trash.

[Sugarrush0z]

He is my hero

[JjAR01]

Doug is a GOD!

[bummercucumber]

I like some of his views. =]

[deepart15]

I suck at inking BUT i work on getting batter at it. I use to be just a pens guy Coz I am more of a penciler then any thing els BUT now its 95% brush and 5% pens for me. BUT i steal suck at inking AND you gave some good tips. I knew about some of the stuff BUT you shown me some new stuff i could do SO i have to say thank you. 5/5 man.

[FunnyFunnyComics]

You the man, Doug!

[potatohead01]

come on!!! save some water man!!!!!!

[dlmx13]

Getting rid of excess ink on silhouette panels? I do that too!! :D

[DaftDude]

Cool video enjoyed it thoroughly. And remember turn off the lights, conserve energy - so there's resources left for using a gallon of water to clean a #3 brush.

[alfredocarrillo2]

@DaftDude I was going to say that :(

[Anarchemitis]

I loved Doug's work in Flight II.

[hoffbill]

Love that music at the end!

[LlN3RlD3r]

0:25-0:32 kiinda scared me O_o'

[rebirthangel]

He he yeah, that wouldn't leave me for four weeks, but I got used to it.

I can get past that, because I absolutely what Doug says in this video, perhaps it's his best interview yet.

PS, if anybody knows of Street Trash, did you know the director is a camera man? He's still doing work to this day, including the camera's for Chronicles of Riddick, and Sneakers.

[LlN3RlD3r]

you talk alot XD

[rebirthangel]

LOL, I really do.

The more you know. ^^

[deepart15]

its a interview.

[masharcool123]

awsome

[Solarcoreg]

Creature Tech was absolutely fantastic. I'm so glad I found this video. Thank you immensely for making it!

[sankrom21]

Aw man, I got ink all over my tongue

[InuvikPhil]

this is one of the best interviews about comics I have ever seen

[tredlow]

Can't wait!

[dawilli2]

fantastic, I love watching Doug work and listening to his pointers. Legend!

[blokhed99]

Eric, what was that clip of the guy on the toilet from?

[1212EricB]

Street Trash!!!

[Ashloomis]

@1212EricB I'd bet money it's a Troma film (goes to check.)

[jesssmiley]

This is so great! Thanks for posting this. I loved being able to watch Doug ink close-up in real time. Really great being able to see how big the actual panels and paper are that he works on, too.
