I clicked on the thumbnail assuming it was from Finch’s channel. Then I heard the whistling. Then I saw him. What a roller coaster of emotions. And what distinctive sketch style!

Step 1: draw a shape
Step 2: give it a gun

But seriously really great video.

I’m painfully bad at composition, but watching videos like this give me so many ideas and give me inspiration to improve existing ones. Wonderfully explained and great thumbnails too!

[mochimochi]

Just what i needed! Im finally confident to start my own pages, at least for testing this rules and perspectives. One day i want to create a full comic, but i never did one before, this actually helps me a lot!

THANK YOU SO MUCH! YOU HAVE NO IDEA HOW HELPFUL THIS IS TO ME 🙇‍♀️

[chikengas]

I think we all forget this sometimes. And now we just got a reminder with insight from someone this experienced as well!

[Saltfare]

I’ve always found composition painful and confusing but this video makes it sound so cool, like it’s a tool to make things more interesting rather than a chore that you have to learn. Thank you ❤

[sekai]

Thank you so much for this amazing tutorial ! It seems that this kind of detail isn't explored in many videos, and yet it's the reason why some comics look so good while others don't.

I wish that growing up I had more stuff like this in my art classes and not just examples with a lecture. I love to draw but all the techniques and the technical stuff has pushed me out of it for years because I didn't understand it. But now watching them be used in the midst of drawing makes it a lot more clear than looking at finished products.

[Links-Asylum]

This is a extremely useful video for me especially because I’m trying to make my own comics, thank you so much for these tips

[Hollynokk]

OH MY GOSH. This answered so many questions that I didn’t even know how to ask! To top it off, I think a lot of this is good advice even just for drawing singular pictures and paintings. Great principles all the way around.

[ChaoticMay]

...Proko is watching my search history, isn't he? Seriously, this video couldn't have come at a better time!

[sallgoodman]

Awesome. I was aware of the rule of 3rds, but examples so readily available are very useful in composing a scene. Thanks
