Breaking Into Comics & Manga

[PrancingVivi]

Jeph Loeb is great :D I love what he said about dreams and nightmares.

[playadelrey100]

Some of these guys at the Marvel Panel seems Intimidating and Scary...or is it just me. when he said. ''by the 2nd page we will know if your ready. not ready. we'll be keepin an eye on u , or You will never succeed. That scared the hell outta me.

[heerakjha]

yes you guys are not entirely wrong. i hated it the way u waned to discourage the young artists. u think thy cud never become like u. ur forgetting something nd soon the time is going t teach you all a lesson. i hope you will look forward to that. by the time you cud really take a look at the sketches left by leonardo da vinci. hv u started to see rather thn just look at wat u hv been drawing

[TheAnimefan227]

[ZephyrOfDarknessArt]

Thank you for sharing this. The notes were also very helpful.

[Wrathgir]

Awesome App there! hehee! I wish I had an iphone to do that on. :p

Anyways thanks for the cool panel you recorded. I have been considering doing a manga someday. I am just trying to get the characters more developed and a plot to the story that would make it interesting to readers. I should send some pictures I have your way and write a letter to ya! I use to write Mark Kistler when he was on the air on PBS every afternoon when I was a kid. :D

[winmsm]

The beginning was cool

[nintendofreak505]

Can you please do a video on how to break into the animation/cartoon industry?

[MTDEWfan108]

I want to work for Marvel. That would be awesome.

[drawinganimepro]

[hustler2779]

Dude draw the green lanthern guy

[Brianna9ist]

As an aspiring animator, I really appreciate your videos Evan! These videos are really helpful and inspiring.

[TheJosesvideos]

hey it would be awsome if you drawed something new idk i was kinda thinking of mario idk i was think of an idea for you ?

[WinchesterFan001]

my main goal is DC comics but ... i would do anything to be in the comic book business :)

[lamarl86]

I would work for any comic / manga publisher that would take me. Not that I hold no value for myself but I love the art form. Only thing that would vary is the rate of pay = how much time i could spend doing it. I would work for free but couldn't spend all of my time doing it. Have to pay the bills,

[crazycrazyppl]

@cartoonblock Hey I just found your channel and subscribed instantly. I will now attempt to recreate every drawing you have done, which I hope will teach me how to draw haha. Anyways, I really like your style of drawing and would love to see a tutorial on Aang from Avatar the Last Airbender. Keep up the good work.

[mangagirl511]

[KIZARUandKISAME]

yo evan!! i was wondering if i could ask you a big favor but it will be deeply appretiated and its not like what u usually do but umm.. well i know how to draw bodies like manga and what not at the three main angles(front 3/4 and profile) and you know other simple angles like little bending, but i struggle on the bodies in motion or bending or bodies that are twisted(like at one point it will be a 3/4 view and at the end a profile view) thanks!! plzzzzzz!!!!! : )

[e60ect]

[brookmoore03]

I'd like to work for dark horse or shonen jump (sj) but for now I am working with outskirtspress.

[BoyOfLol]

Wow... Chuck Norris approves World of Warcraft... I suppose I should try it now before he kills me in my sleep..

[Sutton1022]

Thanks for posting this, I think I'm going to draw again... Swing by my dA account if you get a sec, sixgunslinger is my username.

[ballwizard6]

[eManga7]

@ballwizard6 i heard that no one actually has...

[ballwizard6]

@eManga7 yeah i think they only wanna go domestic. i wouldnt wanna work for them tho, their deadlines are crazy. tho they give u alot of exposure

[eManga7]

@ballwizard6 yeah probably that or... no one has been able to meet the standards... anyway i wanna go with shounen jump and i will and if no one non japanese has been published in it then i will be the first.

[ballwizard6]

@eManga7 probably, but u should try someday tho. u never know

[eManga7]

@ballwizard6 I will stop at nothing to get serialised in Shounen Jump and get an anime that is my dream!

[LocalLooney]

I should've started all the things I freaking love way earlier, which are : Music, drawing and basketball. Fuck young Me. <<

[darthshaggy316]

That effect was soo cool!!



[MrJohnffrey87]

DC, Marvel, or Dark Horse

[StefanValenti]

I'm 12 and I can draw most characters pretty well and everyone says I'm amazing at drawing. My dream is to be a Character designer for cartoons and someday create a cartoon of my own, can you make a video on how I can get started?

[MrGoodgrace]

Dark Horse

[KingofAnime7]

dark horse and viz media is what im aiming for and im developing my manga called spellcaster kenji. check out my deviantart if you like my username is the same as my youtube

[catsrfake34]

this video just made me want to draw draw draw, yknow this really motived me to reach my goals. i was talking to my mom today and she told me that i should go work for marvel, my number 1 dream. i wanted to work for shonen jump but my heart always turned to marvel studios

[TaroArt]

Thanks cartoonblock for checking out my channel. Do u have any tips and suggestions in animations? If so please reply . Thanks

[GhostSoldier22]

I have that dearth badger shirt...sorry about the dearth badger I meant to say darth vader because of my iPods spell checker

[Fluffymiyster]

This is neither of those (comics or manga) but it's in the same area sort of as it deals with drawn characters that (hopefully and usually) become animated; I'd love to work at FUNimation. Not even sure what I'd like to do there; heck, a peon assistant job would still seem pretty cool since I'm in an environment full of all the anime shows I love and the people there seem pretty friendly, if the videos here on YouTube are anything to go by.

[TheFinalanime1]

dark horse and viz is what i am aiming for

[AlexJensen]

I read the comic. I'm on the fence about it (It's still a pretty cool and informative read). I understand that it's meant to show the worst as an example of what not to do but I'm sad that there is no happy ending at all. :/

[GeeRunescape]

Viz Media accepts them now? NO WAY?

[TheAimandps]

you`re so awesome! thank you sooo much for helping us so much :D God bless you :)

[qazwer0100]

hey man i notised that not much pepole do drawings of spiderman and i was wandering if you could do a tutorial on that as soon as posible evrybody tumbs up if you want this to

[xXArronaXx]

God Bless you Evan!! I love Marvel, Thank-You so much for putting this video together!!

[eagamesClucas]

he should do a tutorial an tintin

[vampiricita]

6:05 what he said we have to write on Google to see the comic about worst portfolio review?

[tweekxxx]

This channel is quickly becoming my favorite on YouTube.

[Aerchain]

This will definitely help thanks CB

[ScottisFamous7]

The beginning where the car just randomly comes down crashing sent my sister and i on the floor laughing like crazy...!! lol :)

[shoethief]

Hey man... this is EXACTLY what I have been looking for. Thank you so much for uploading this cause I have been trying to get into the industry desperately for the past 10 years and have had no clue how to go about it but this was extremely helpful.

[xxx11Bloodzxxx]

That was great video and just a few hours before my bday I'm so happy now

[kkingcombo12345]

makes me wanna start drawing again.

8P

[kkingcombo12345]

[kkingcombo12345]

[vanessagregoire]

[AlternateRealityTV1]

[limelightmoon]

hmm after seeing this vid... i have concluded.. You have a great channel and i am glad i subd ^__^ other mark crilly there are really no subs i go look into lol

[ZeroXAsylum]

Viz media ^.^

[000fabien]

SHONEN OR VIZ

[TheJanaSchmitt]

Love the last speech about pursuing your dreams. Very inspirational.

[VetrYukiOkami]

Graphic novels are not existent in the UK, everything is imported from the US, so I'm not going to pursue this as a career. I'm making a dōjinshi on deviantART, but other than that, I'm not doing this. Still a good video, thanks for uploading it.

[MenosFirebane]

I really would want to work for Dark Horse, I suppose just because of Mark Crilley. he's definitely a huge inspiration to me:)

[TaroArt]

Hey cartoonblock, i would appreciate if you checked out my animations, im in middle school and im an aspiring animator/artist.havent got to post some speed drawings yet but will. Thanks

[Chibichibipause]

my goal for 2012 is to be a colorist for dark horse comics. Don't know why I chose dark horse. It was a random wheel spinning in my head.

[EricJonRussell]

Well, the story I'm working on is hopefully going to be super dark so Dark Horse would be more suitable for it.

[1leerick]

i wanna for viz or marvel

[KINGfromHATENA]

If your a good all - round artist give me a pm....ID love you to join my manga group of 3...we are currently working on a really great manga!!!

[spiderskater3]

Thanks man, this vid helps alot!

[THEANIMEPERV]

i would love to work for vizmedia thay publish some good manga, like shonen jump & pokemon adventures, right now i'm just makeing my own webcomics on smack jeeves webcomic hosting.

[2kwon]

This was a well needed video! I love what Jeph Loeb had to say towards the tail end of the segment. As artists, we have to be careful who we share our dreams with and surround ourselves with those who share the same aspirations. Be blessed people.

[KINGfromHATENA]

XD everyone using that ghost protocol app now!!!XD

[Kiba4242]

Nozomient ^^ or viz media!

[Toshiba7ful]

Cool and thx



[AwsomeGirl1120]

MARVEL!!

[PatersonFinest]

I needed that. I seriously thought somethin happened to you dude!

[SuperStinger64]

OMG I THAUGHT YOU DIED!!!!! TT^TT THANK GOD!

[darkninjaraven]

I'd love to work for Dark Horse Comics or Viz Media. I'm actually working on stories to start sending off to them in hopes of getting something in the door.

[Lydomina]

I really appreciate the man's advice at 8:00 , everyone is such a cynic nowadays, no one can just try to be supportive or keep their mouths shut.

[TheNextMangaKing]

SHONEN JUMP JAPAN! Hell yea XD

[59fallen]

I would love to work for viz

[straya520]

Thank you so much for this video. I'm glad they mentioned Deviant Art, I wasn't sure if any major comic company looked at that site.

[Degotelo]

Dude. a car hit CTFxC too....

[KoyuNguyens]

The P.O box idea thing is sweet, I love the idea of it. I think it's really awesome how Evan is trying to communicate with his fans, be more of a part of his fanbase/fan community. I can't wait until next year when he uploads some of the artwork.

[GIRfan24]

I Would Love To Either Work For Viz Or Marvel... They Are Both Amazing Companies And It Would Be A Pleasure To Work For Them.

[TheroMakepe]

Tokyopop FTW!

[piro632]

@TheroMakepe Didn't Tokyopop go Bankrupt?

[TheSalaris2]

@piro632 yeah it did

[wiiman647]

very helpful thnx ^^

[anno0021]

I have that app on my iPod I posted two videos on YouTube their not the car but it's a tornado and an helicopter Check it out type in Action video #1

[ImJogginWithScissors]

That app looks sick!

[hazpaz7783]

I have that app for iphone XD

[ImJogginWithScissors]

Is someone eating chips next to you?

[exclibur731]

Probably Dark Horse or Viz Media because their works are so diverse

[TheroMakepe]

Thanks for uploading this man.. & just before the new year. I hope it'll give alot of us young guns out there the guidance we need.. Young Artists let's get it!!

[ZeinEizoku]

Who would I want to work for is a tough question... This is actually the largest hurdle I have in my artistic pursuits that always seem to trip me up. I am worried I will hate drawing once it becomes my "Job". I would love to just work for myself? Or if I would have to, decide on one, Shonen Jump (VIZ media), Akira Toriyama, Masashi Kishimoto, Tite Kubo, Eiichiro Oda, and that is just the artists from VIZ that I look up to.

[devonyea100]

CARTOONBLOCK ='S THE TYLER PERRY OF COMIC

[drewdown2091]

Thanks for uploading great insight!!! I'm

Currently going to school for animation do u have any tips for a portfolio for animators any thing will help!!! An also can you do a vid about how u got in to animation??? Thanks again!!!! An keep the vids coming!!!

[rexxtheawsome]

[Darchox8]

[oOsanctOo]

Its my dream to be a professional one day, but I've been having trouble building my youtube channel I don't know what type of content to upload. Anyways thanks for uploading this video I've received some really great advice. I cant wait to send you the pages of my manga to see what you think about it. Nice effects btw can't believe you were able to that using an I-phone lol.

[JLTrickster]

Wow this is really cool Cartoonblock!!!! Awesome advice those people gave too :D

[Haisman7]

Great video, thanks Evin!

[mangadarkstar]

well i know who i want to work for viz or shonen jump. plus nice effect my little sister thought it was real

[VeryBadRewiews]

Marvel

[OverNightGaming]

I know very little about comics or at least writing a comic does someone have a link or video that explains more about setting up a story and pages and so on.

[Littletorres510]

Please do a tutorial on how to draw Natsu or Gray from Fairy Tail. PLZ

[brobi44]

DC

[fisherman795]

[SunigildaAyumi]

I dont have too much knowledge about "working places" but I would love to work for carlsen manga or dark horse ^_^

[chaoticdarkblade319]

Viz

[crazyz30]

[CouchHeadAnimator]

Viz media all the waaaaay!!

[entertainment151]

Nice vid I maybe want to work in marvel or dc but I prefer ro work in disney (even though it is not comics or manga).

[RIOWICHIproductions]

I'm torn between Dark horse comics and VIZ media either one would be amazing :D

[dudewonder97]

I would work for funimation

[greeeyedboi]

Dark horse seems to give you more freedom to do your own work. marvel and dc have huge names in the biz and your work would get lost amongst the mix (My opinion) and viz does a lot of manga, and a lot of new stuff, so with that you get in were you fit in.

[bfoxk]

i wanna work for archie's comics

[greeeyedboi]

thanks alot for the video, but i really wonder how to involved with cartoons, writting for shows, and character designing

[MrsDeruku]

I want to work for DC comics

[TheBlackNinjaMan]

Awesome video ! Really good info.

[TheSamuraiArtist]

Do you think its possible to make a video on breaking into the animation/cartooning industry one day like the tips that were given for this one,but for future cartoonists?

[kazanjianm]

You give your YouTube audience a LOT of great information!

[NinjaFart10]

what about me, i want to be a cartoonist, how do i get into that buisness?

[Sycra]

Hey, this was great! Was cool hearing what Joe Quesada put in his portfolio. Thanks for uploading!

[thedumbotaku]

the beginning freaked me out lol

[KATT718]

[ArtistLeader]

I want to work for either Viz Media, Dark Horse or Yen Press. Hopefully my manuscript will impress them ;D

[SKETCHYKYAD]

[BeckaBeck21]

[ThePochapark]

@BeckaBeck21 I thought VIZ only licensed manga? I don't think they publish original manga.

[BeckaBeck21]

@ThePochapark i dont know to tell you the truth, i just thought it would be fun to work for them ^_^

[KINGfromHATENA]

@BeckaBeck21 yes!Where is Viz located though - U.S or Japan?

[thekirt11]
