Any videos that gets you motivated into doing comics?

I'm legit asking cause im in an uninspired mood.

I usually tended to watch Naoki Urusawa, mini documentary series but i've watched them too many times already.

so what do you watch to inspire yourself to get working on your comics?

For me, its the following:

• VIDEO GAME OSTs
• Watching Retrospectives on old Cartoons and VIDEO GAMES
• SpongeBob Reruns
• Fairly Oddparents Reruns
• Disney Plus Archived Cartoons
• HBO MAX Archived Cartoons
• Playing VIDEO GAMES specific to what I want to write in mycomics/stories
• Talking to Crystal
• The Song "Ego Trippin" - https://youtu.be/7IL9o9iqd-4
• Da' Magazines, Dem Comics about Donald Duck, Lurking with Dos Negguz found in the society known as Discord

I made an habit to draw without feeling motivated. It's something that you'll learn eventually as you shift to make your comic a responsability.

Personally speaking I don't require much inspiration with videos, I'm more of a music person, sometimes I get hyped to work while listening to Utsu-P's "Greatest Shits" album. Sometimes with My Chemical Romance's "Danger Days: The true lives of the Fabulous Killjoys".

But if you're seeking for videos, I believe that watching animes such as Blue Period, Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!, Ping Pong the Animation, Bakuman or even Re:Creators are actually very inspiring. You could also watch the process of other artists such as Shinichi Sakamoto (Innocent), Yuumei (Webtoon artist) and many more.

The Kingdom Heart franchise! I also recommend listening to the soundtracks for the story! :3

I used to watch webcomic creator YouTubers like McKay and Grey, though once you watch enough of them they topics start to get a bit samey (self care/avoiding burnout, how to get an audience, how to start your comic, mistakes beginners make etc). Still nice to have in the background while you draw though :]

I do also like video game/anime OSTs, though I generally feel more motivated by soundtracks of stuff I'm already a fan of. Bonus points if they were insporations for one or more of my comics

Talking to Crystal

XDDD I see what you did there

[BobbyjoeX]

Keep Your Hands Off Eizouken!

I listen a music playlist I made on Youtube. I think music helps in general. It's like the best drug ever. Bar none. Oh yeah but if you're looking for Youtubers, check out B-Mask. His analysis are the bomb.

I really enjoy Turtle and Bug's webtoon review when I'm drawing. They give some great constructive feedback too
