Back during my honeymoon, I started drawing comics as a “buffer” from normal blog posts.
Except now I like doing comics more than writing. And now I also do videos. So I guess my blog has completely morphed over the last year.
In any case, I’ve had several people ask how I draw my comics. I draw them all by hand – I prefer not to use the computer.
I wanted to make a video showing the drawing process – and I ended up LOVING how it turned out.
I might make more of these for future comics 🙂

Very cool! Thanks for sharing. I’ve always wanted to draw…
Are your inking pens more expensive or cheaper in Japan?
I used to draw a lot but never had creativity while drawing,
I over think and never get anything done or looking like I think them…
haven’t done in years, hope to get back into later on.
A couple people have asked how I draw my comics. So. Here you go?
Amazing! I also want to be like draw comics.
Gracie, dear, you are completely adorable and sooooo talented! Love your
comics! Oh, and I think you may have the world’s most perfect eyebrows!

Looks awesome! it’s like reading a slice of life Manga :D
That is awesome that you draw by hand!
Thanks for reminding me, I got some nihonshu to drink.
I just ordered and preordered your books!!!! Cant wait!
Wow !! I was blown away. Absolutely talented !!! Such a great video !!
I don’t have the gift of drawing, but this was so fun to watch! :D
How long did you practice in drawing to get a great drawing like you just
did??
Where else can we read your comics??
First of all, you need to start all your videos with, “Howdy Y’all, “so
people can believe you’re a Texan. (Reference to comments left on a
previous video) Second, it’s sorta sad that people these days automatically
assume you draw on a computer. Have the times changed so much that people
of today have forgotten when we used to draw and write on paper, with a pen
or pencil?
That looks like Haruka’s sketchbook from Project Kagerou!!!! O_O *sparkly
eyes*
Omg you’re amazing!! It seems like you do it so easily, your comics are
beautiful 🙂 I love it
Wow, the comic is really cute! You’re really good!
Just here to say this is a really nice channel, I suggest you start linking
your blog in the video description :)
great video, nice drawings!! Fun to watch!
Wow, I am WAY too neurotic when it comes to drawing. I could never just
draw up a full illustration without a sketch, IN PEN, especially not a
comic! So awesome! Thank you for sharing!
Such a cute drawing style! ♥
You´re a pretty original and you have a certain charisma that makes me
watch *All your Videos* 🙂 XD keep it up!
That was cute!
I learn English from watching your comics!
Wish I had art drawing skills, 2 years of art in high school C, 2 years of
art in college C, I couldn’t draw to save my own life.
You are so talented! Wish I could write and draw half as well.
I think this is a great idea for a video!! I is very unique and interesting
and really makes you stand out from the other JVloggers! Great vid and keep
up the good work!
wow that was really really good :D
wow an hour at most, thats seems really fast. Aww the comic is cute. I
never actually knew that you drew comics. You and ryosuke look adorable in
cartoon form.
What did you use to draw this, I love how your drawing looks, and it looks
like it works amazing <3 A fellow Texan here, fell in love w your channel
Extraordinary
It’s really amazing how you can do all that without the aid of gridlines!
And you don’t make a pencil sketch beforehand, either! Wow!
That was nice. It is always inspiring to me to see other people work.
Thanks for the video
I love your comics! You have a realy cool way to draw because you know were
i how you wanth to be the finish image…
I seend you love from MEXICO!!!
I like to draw to but I’m axing you can just draw the finished product
straight away. I have to pencil everything first then ink it in :/ I’m only
a hobbyist though, too busy working and studying to turn it into a job!
Wow. You draw with pens? That’s a skill all on it own!
such a cute comic style!! This makes me want to start up again – it’s so
relaxing :D
Love it! =) I really want to slowly work towards becoming a freelancer
myself. Any tips for being self-employed?
Your comic drawing is super cute!! I was so surprised when I stumbled on
your youtube channel, I saw your blog about a year ago and I thought you
were so cool! I remember thinking how cute you guys were, glad you a have
YouTube channel! Much love xoxo :D
I have manga studio and a drawing tablet but i rather draw it free hand
then scan it in i haven’t actually started my manga yet just getting a
bunch of characters together and i wrote out panels so i know exactly what
they should say and what I’m drawing in each.. if only i could just do it
as easily and amazing as you just did it !
That’s awesome. I’ve been an artist all my life but not so great at drawing
even though I wanted to be a comic artist when I was a teen. So what I did
I do? Become a professional animator (of the 3D variety). lol
Edit: Whoa, I just saw you went to school in Collegeville. That’s like a
half hour from here.
Amazing! :DD You draw all that without even sketching first!! I mean, even
though I draw more illustration and story-comics, which requires more
planning and more sketching, I’m truly amazed how you can just convey your
mental image of the comic in every single panel without any problem. I’ve
read your comics before and they’re really well structured 😀 Kudos Grace
;D
I was silently hoping you’d make a video like this! Your blog made me want
to draw again but I am not that good so I use the tablet. I am really
impressed watching this (impressed and jealous XD)
Awesome, really fantastic quality. It was creepy for a sec though when you
popped in your head while displaying the comic. :-p
Have you considered drawing manga? You’re so talented! I would definitely
read a manga If you drew one
By hand is best–the personal touch is priceless—keep up the good work
and your great sense of humor–refreshing !!!!!
I always admire how people can draw right then and there without making
mistakes or erasing.
You are so talented ! It takes me an hour to draw ONE thing….with pencil!
And let’s not count the amount of times i ruin a drawing when i going over
it with a black pen or marker…
I applaud you because I cannot draw in pen like that. I have to sketch it
out in pencil first then go over in pen. I’m too scared to make mistakes
lol. Your comic looks cute by the way! :D
MAKE ONE ABOUT YOUR LOVE STORY!
Wow, just wow!
