40 hours a week for my day job and whenever I have free time I work on my stories or do comic related stuff-- research/reading/studying.

this is a very interesting idea. KZread has livestreaming now so hmmm..... just brainstorming here but maybe it could be Saturday mornings and you guys can pick a topic that I'll draw and explain live. What do you think?

That eraser lasted me one entire year at my art high school.

Well because I have OCD, it took me only a week because of how much erasing I use for perfection.

Artists are so hard on themselves when it come to their old sketchbook drawings. Their your foundation, of course they won't be the best, but its a great thing to reflect on ^.^

I mean i dont really cringe welll i do cringe with the charcoal but i didnt bring much old sketchbooks since i went abroad to visit relatives

I had that Pencil for 3 or 4 years and I recently lost it. I have to resort to standard pencils. *wipes tears away*

I remembered when I'm in my elementary, i used to draw at the back of my notes and make it messy haha!!! you're so cool!! and you're soccer characters are cool too!!

I came here to get recommendations on art supplies and got so much more ! I could totally relate to everything you said about sketchbooks . I used to get discouraged when my sketches weren't that great and stop drawing in them . Being older now I realize they are exactly what you said a place for artist to grow and make mistakes . Keep up the great work and I will be on the look out for your manga !

The character that you used for the brush Example is excellent. The simplicity of they face creating such emotion.

Eh? I Thought You Just Needed A Pencil Now I NEED ALL THESE THINGS!? Nah, My Drawing Are Good Enough. I Dont Need Those Stuff. *Goes To Store To buy The stuff*

Hello! thank you for sharing all the materials you are using especially showing us what is inside your sketch book. And your videos are really easy to understand and inspiring.

The 110 and 135 refers to grams per square meter and the B4 stands for the paper size.

Also, a sketch book is a place where one can be free,and experiment.

Years ago i got the comics tools from this video. Still buying these thank you so much

what i do some times to not smear the lead is I put a piece of paper under my drawing hand. That way the oil on my hand won't get onto the paper. Some artists will also use a cotton glove with the fingers cut off. That also helps and looks pretty cool too.

You have extremely flexible thumbs.

Also, thank you for sharing, and I find it nice that you actually plan out your lessons. There's several users that don't plan and while some still turn out great, others not so much.

I have the same pen and same lead. It's a blessing. I would recommend highly.

Oh love the art supplies looks so good

This is great, especially the bit about the sketchbook.

I feel comfortable with this video, I really enjoyed it. I like all the things that the man told, the way he told them, the materials and the atmosphere. it was very interesting

Me too. I found this video 4-5 years ago. And I have watched 100 times I don't know why but I keep watching it

I like your style that you have exhibited so far. It looks fairly unique to me, & I hope you appreciate that too. Have a nice day!

i did the same thing! i only drew in half the pages of my sketchbook. but it wasn't that i thought my drawings were horrible (even though they were), i just liked the idea of getting into a new one as soon as i got it.

You hit the nail. I never want to draw on my sketchbook because I always want the drawings to look awesome. That is a interesting idea with the small sketchbooks. I have a small five star memo spiral memo notebook but the spirals get in the way of my drawing. Have to considering getting one similar to yours.

i just wanna say I LOVE YOUR WORK!!! i started getting into drawing about a month ago and i feel im improving slowly :)

I'm the same regarding sketchbooks, I want them so fabolous that I tend to forget their purpose. And I started sketching mostly on photocopy paper but I realised that a sketchbook makes me happier, for some reason. I love looking at other people sketcbooks btw, so much inspiration XD Interesting info about the colored pencil led, I didn't know about them, def a must buy for me, sketchin in colors really sets me free LOL

When you talked about the sketch books and how you usually draw only ten in one book sounds so much like me

Yessss! I love ur lecture about sketch books! 😍 my "diary" is a few sketch books! I love this video, very helpful thanks!

Yep very helpful

No, all pro mangaka use the B4. A4 is meant for doujinshi.

I like the Kuretake brush pen best, it's fantastic for fine and thick lines. I pretty much use those for inks and raw sketches, but I can see how G-pens come in handy

Exactly like me, always wanting every page to look awsome I have so much respect for you keep it up

Intro music is a good idea :) now for Livestreaming, I'm going to have to figure out if I can use my camera for a webcam. I think it's possible if my computer has firewire. I'll do some tests and maybe this coming Saturday I can try it out.

This video is helpful and valuable. I liked the brush pen.Thanks a lot.

I used to have the same problem with my sketch books (except my book was pretty full but with incomplete drawings) lol. The best thing I did for my work is accept that I wasn't going to be perfect and sort of embrace it. There's no avoiding the awkward stage of bad anatomy, proportions and shading. The sooner you face it head on the sooner you improve and it's already paid dividends in the quality of my work.

Great video! Love your tone. "A place for you to get better, free and safe to make mistakes." Wonderful TT_TT

man you are totally talented, an amazing artist be proud of your work. in age I realized the same about my sketch books I was killing trees trying to be pretty lol

I will see what old ones I can dig up :)

I got one of those mechanical pencils. No pink one. Lol. Love it! Thanks for the video. All I use is that pencil now!

That drawing is amazing dude.... I would say your talented...but you should already know that👍🏼

Looking forward to when you start drawing your story. Keep it up!

I have one and use it a lot but for my manga I'm going to try non-digital

mike i love your drawings u are the best artist

you Sir , I wish you all the best with your youtube career and your life !!

I was going to buy that pencil but I didn’t know it was a pen until u said ballpoint but I got the mechanical pencil thanks to you 🙏🏻

The tips are pretty amazing

less than $10 for a bottle of Pilot Ink seems reasonable to me and will last a long time. I haven't used the Deleter Ink enough to make a comparison but I'm liking the Pilot ink so far.

for the empty pen try using a mix of isopropyl alcohol and ink it helps it dry quicker and it would run smoother than water , it thins down the ink

So glad I discovered you! Haha love your vids :) and yes, you do rock the pink!

Great video, informative and you are very talented. Thanks for the upload.

This video helped me out alot with what type of pens and pencils to use and paper It took a little bit longer to get the stuff tho

Thank you for the great videos. Especially this one made me smile and was a good lesson when you came to the sketchbooks. I wished you could upload videos more often and more consistently. I really hope you'll get more popular here on youtube and I find the livestream a great idea. :) Greetings from Germany

love your vids they inspired me too go back and do my game designs

it's usually for gesture drawing, you then add final lines/anatomy etc over it with a normal pencil then ink.

Guys koizu can draw with any pencil by getting he's supplies u won't get exactly the same drawing it's because he knows how to draw

I believe that they use pounds because when creating the paper, before they cut it into the size the consumer buys, they have it on rolls. They roll a certain amount onto the roll, but it will weigh differently depending on the thickness of the paper. I saw that on a "how's it made" episode, I believe.

That would be cool. You could probably do a tutorial on animating, character anatomy, and finding styles. Those are some things people might find interesting

Jetpens is awesome!!! Thats where I get most of my supplies. With the paper, the B4 is referring to the paper size (A4 is about the same size as standard copy paper, but B4 is the standard for manga), and the paper weight is referring to the how much a stack of 500 pieces weigh. Hope that helpsb=D

I vote yes for livestreaming how to draws on saturday mornins. sounds sweet

B4 is the size (H x W) of the paper. and the 110 lbs is the weight of the roll it was part of before cut to size

thanks for the insights!! really helpful, its same thing for me...bout not finishing my sketchbook. thanks and more power mike!!!

awesome video sharing drawing supplies ^^

I pulled out my Sketchbooks today from watching and learning from this video yesterday. I too only have about 15 pages filled up out of 110 sheets in one book. The other book..oh boy...yikes. You are right!!! Thank you for telling us these are sketching book for practice, not to go and jump in thinking each page is a great work of art. Whew...I had a dig a minute to find them both. Thank you for this video and the others too. My people look 100% better using your 7 heads method of drawing. All of mine, too long, fat in areas, yuck in some areas and wow. I have to follow guide lines I see. Thank you again. You do Fantastic work.

Pilot Drafting Ink is water-soluble, so it's very easy to clean. Deleter Black 4 is both waterproof and alcohol-proof. Pilot Drafting Ink does have better flow. I mainly use Speedball Super Black India Ink, though, because it's much cheaper.

Very awesome, and this is what i love to see on every artist i encounter here on youtube :) keep up with your style, i like it very much! i hope someday to have my own style to develop to the max...

110 means that the paper was pressed together at 110 lbs so usually it doesnt bleed like other paper does i use 110 paper and love it

You can also get kneaded erasers at Walmart. I got one in a Prismacolor sketching set or something.

you are pretty cool, i really like that mechanical pencil and lead recommendation. i think we have same preferences in terms of putting pressure on the pens. cool, really cool. thanks

Oh man, thats how I am now. I'll think some of the drawings are bad and I don't wanna draw in the sketchbook anymore...I have a few unfinished sketchbooks.

the 110 lb. means that if you had 500 sheets of paper with that same thickness it would weigh 110 lb.

the 110, 135, etc is for weight / thickness and the B4, A4, etc is the size of the paper.

Bro, you're sketches are awesome, they look actually good even though your past self didn't say so.

thank you so much you got me into monga and i love it

The weight of the paper is measured by what it would weigh in a ream--which is about 500 sheets of paper--so--if you would gather about a ream of paper(500 sheets) it would weigh about 110 lbs. It is what printers use when printing. I hope this has helped you in some small way --

THis really help me thank you expecially the paper part, and also thanks for talking about sketch books with us

I so can relate to you when you said you will draw on the first 10 pages of your sketch book and stop coz you feel your drawing can be drawn better. I have like 3 sketch book that is never full. ^_^

hi, good videos! ... but could you please make videos: accurate moves (ceruzkov. ..), warm up the hands, or a variety of exercises to improve drawing skills

This was very cool, i love to see how artist work and what material they use. As for the B4 paper, its the paper size. I dont really understand it myself, but B4 is one of the dimension of paper in the B category. So confusing. Anyway thank you for a cool vid.

It's in pounds because they take 500 full size sheets (they're 17"x22") and weigh them. Ordinary printer paper is like 24 lb, while watercolor paper is usually around 140 lb. Thanks for the video.

KZread recommend this for me and i love your videos. I'm a french fan x') thank you for this video !!

This is amazing advice. Thanks!

I LOVE sketchbooks. Though, I prefer ring-bounded sketchbooks,than "glue" or string bounded. Where do you store your sketching books after you fill them up?

Thanks for the advices about sketchbook hahahha I was stupid to stop dreaming well I drew manga eye last 9 months and I stopped because of those people I guess and I lost that book. And I just found it and look back actually my drawing is awesome for first attempt I will drawing soon and of course who care what they say it's my art , my drawing , my life. Thanks again you're my inspiration

thank you for the additional idea .!

Nice video man,Really informative! You earned my sub :)

Koi, I wondered for a long time if you could make a video on how to start an art channel on youtube because I know lots of us try but we can't ever do it right.

Love this video!

DUDE no homo but I Love how you draw!! You make everything simple!!!

Nice video. That really helped a lot.

I can endorse using brushes for inking, if you have the right brush. It just feels so good to draw so loose and expressive lines or spotting the blacks, and the fact that ink makes me high doesnt help.

You inspire me alot, I remember when I always wanted to write a manga, but my drawing suck and I'd beg my art teacher 2 teach me how to draw(she didn't(she probably couldn't)), so I decided I'll just try to draw characters I know ^×^ I got way better, and now I can almost draw my own. Your videos help, I don't wanna make Manga anymore but a book with a few pocs here n there, and I hope I can learn more so there magnificent!

Bluetag works like a eraser that is kneadable too

Hi mike. I'm currently struggling for drawing Human Figure, is there any link or books or even a tip you could give me? you make it look SOOO easy lol. Keep up the work, i watch your posts all the time.

u draw really well so if you like that gel pencil i think ud love the uni kuru toga alpha gel....check it out.

in the ink way you might want to try the Kuretake Manga Pen ink I used it for a while but I had to stop because I had to start using Copics and would sometimes bleed if you waited slightly too little but I still keep them in handy since it flows so well with it being so dark

You've probably already come by it, but you should check out a water soluble sketch and wash pencil for grey tones.

Awesome video man :) thanks for making it!

hey koizu nice video dude, I got a question! I often draw hard/heavy, should I use harder lead or draw softer?..its one of my big problems when sketching/drawing.

what you said at 13:05 made me laugh and also made me change on how i should see sketchbooks, I to thought to myself that i only want good sketches in there but stopped sketching when i had a bad drawings in my sketchbook, thank you for saying that sentence. :)
