How to Make a Full-Length Comic in Procreate!

This is how I drew a full-length comic in Procreate on the iPad. SECRET HEART ATTACK is my new self-published comic that I spent the last few months making, and I'm super-proud of it!

It’s great to see your hard work and dedication pay off. You should be very proud of yourself. Congratulations!

Wow finally a artist that actually feels very motivated and actually tells you how or what you need to make your own comic book!

Thank you I'm planning on my own time to make my own comic book on my own pace and company ( like shonen jump) to make my own comics and this video is very helpful than most people and even I saved up to $1.2k to buy my supplies like iPad and more markers and pens and paint for my career I don't know or think it will be successful but I know I'm not going to give up thank you for your time on this video 😊

I’m from nyc too I’m an electrician, I been trying to make my book for years but I’m just getting the right mindset, but I must say I feel like I lock in the best when I’m on a long train ride😂😂

Incredible work man, inspires me to make my own book

[Janaely]

It’s really exciting to see you made a whole book in Procreate!! You’re making me want to figure out how to chase my own dreams of writing and illustrating my own stories 😁💜💜

[uprnva]

I want to make and produce my own comic. And also write novels as well. I didn’t realize it was such a huge undertaking. I had no idea you could do it all in procreate!

[KitZo-]

I’m making a comic book series, and your tips, drawings, and your compassion makes me so inspired! I might have to buy your comic book, it looks so good and interesting!

This is absolutely amazing dude! Great job, the art is AWESOME

[Vicious-scribbles]

Thanks so much for sharing! I just started thinking of morphing an old unused project to a comic, and this was helpful for if I want to do it digitally. Thanks for the resources, too!

[art.Shantha]

First time for me to see how a real comic book made and published, how much hard work involved to create this master piece. Thank you for posting this video, this video is not only useful for artists but also for people who love comics, amd people who steping in to comic learning . Thank you but expecting this book to available in amazon too . Thank you

[ObiePictures]

Dude this is so cool! I just started learning procreate and after seeing this I’m starting to think I could maybe work up the first issue of my comic. Gonna have to get your comic now!

[petertrizor]

Congratulations friend for all this process and dream! 💪⚔️🤙🤙😊

I must admit - i often thought of the transition from paper/pencil to digital art as a real cop-out and a cheat. Being a comic artist of sorts for the most of the last 46 years i would snub at the new guys using this after seeing the work guys like you put in my perspective has evolved and i applaud you. Great work young man! I use an ipad for work now and only today have i gotten an apple pencil and decided to try out this digital art realm, , , looking for the best drawing apps suited for comic art. Would you still suggest procreate?

[TheFutureLooksGrimm]

I’m a little confused by the dimensions being recommended because those are finished page dimensions. I see that you’re working within those final dimensions in ProCreate. Is that the way comic artists work now when done digitally now? It may be ok digitally but the way it used to be was that artists worked at bigger sizes. For instance EC Comics were drawn at double the size and on 18” x 22” then scanned and shrunk down. Some artists worked at 50% larger. And of course some still do. My Strathmoore printed template bristol board pages are 11” x 17” Of course that is hand drawn on paper, but I mention it because some people might not realize that important distinction. It may be alright if it’s going to be reinked digitally, but hand drawn/inked art work that is done at the same dimensions as the final comic size is not going to make for as clean an end result. I did read the blog and although it begins with saying those are final dimensions for the printer, he also seems to be recommending those sizes as if to work in that size. He says he gives his artists those dimensions to work in. He must mean digitally.

What do you think?
