thank you sooo much! you have no idea how long ive been trying to find a video lke yours! mostly i find "how to draw" tutorials and etc, and non of them really help me create a graphic novel >.<

[leseant]

@nomnomrun I think because most of the "how to draw guys really just know how to draw their favorite characters. They aren't professional comic book illustrators, so panels, pacing, shot choice, composition, staging and storytelling is some thing they aren't strong at. otherwise, they'd show you. glad it helped.

@danniid1 I think because the mass majority of people on youtube who actually say they are making manga, aren't skilled or very knowledgeable at all at storytelling or how to put a page together. They just have ideas.

thank you for being awesome. it really helps that you were in animation production because it's a lot easier to understand the flow of the storyboard, plus, your voice isn't irritating, so again, thank you!!
