Gosh, your video's helped me so much when I was creating my short story for the Webtoons contest. I found out about the contest really late and was rushing to get my entry done - but your video's helped me get up to speed with everything I needed to know about Webtoons. Thank you so much for all your insight, expertise and advise!!
@@walterostlie well it's because of a few things you did you have never done before... One of them being that like subscribe and share in the middle of nowhere but don't overdo it k...
@walterostlie mabye because it shows more art and it actually shows alot and also involves you. It's like a PowerPoint when it's usually a speech (which I live as well)
I'm so used to traditional layouts in Manga- figuring out the way the panel space carry's weight for time with bubbles etc. has honestly tripped me up so this video has been SUPER helpful, thank you so much!
I think I'm in love with you xd You're helping me a lot with my webcomic. I'm still new with all of this and need to improve like a lot, but your videos make it easier. I will start uploading my webcomic in a few weeks, so wish me luck🙊🙊
I love the part when you scroll down and subscribe text appear xD that's cool the way of show and sell you channel , and of course i'll subscribe you because of that part haha you got me !! Nice job keep it up man !!
Your videos DO help make comics seem less daunting and overwhelming to begin. I’m relatively new to art, I’ve only been drawing seriously for like two years, and after finding Webtoon, I realize that it’s something I really want to do. These videos help with questions I have that aren’t easy to find answers to, and you explain them thoroughly and efficiently. Just wanted you to know how much you’re helping people like me :)
Thank you! Super happy to heard that. If there's anything you run into trouble with and can't find a good answer, let me know and I"ll try to make a video about it.
Omg, thank you for this.I’m quite simple-minded and having it shown and explained like this and not overly explained really helped-I’m gonna make sure to use this video often as a reference
I’ve been wanting to make a webcomic for so long and I just found and binged your channel and...you’ve really helped me. I’ve been so close so many times but you’ve really simplified it (in a good way). I want to be able to link you too it whenever it comes, because you’ve inspired me to work up a short story from the big story I’ve had in my head for a while, and make it feel less daunting. :) I’m curious if you do art reviews ever too? I’d love to get a review of an episode or/part of an episode! Anyway, thank you! You’ve really helped me! :)))
Thank you so much for that comment. I've been thinking about doing reviews. I used to do them on Twitch, but it wasn't very smooth. Maybe TH-cam would be a better platform. I need to figure out the logistics of it, but I'll be sure to post more details when I proceed.
Walter Ostlie I will wait eagerly for whatever you come up with! I’ve watched a few channels with submission reviews, I always found it a great learning experience. I do think they normally did it through a patreon (because it is a lot extra work and usually people pay for draw-overs/critiques, but I think some were also just TH-cam series’.) Either way, I hope you can! :) I find that my difficulty is that I don’t have a dynamic transition between panels (I was trained to storyboard in school for animation) so sometimes put too many panels and they just seem blocky...-.- so I would really love your feedback, if you ever decide to do a series like that patreon or TH-cam!
I love this video. Love the channel in general! I’ve been trying to start my first comic but was too afraid up until I found your channel. You really motivated me to start! I have written scripts for a few episodes and thumbnailing the first! Thank you, really.💗
Ok....I did not know how to do all of those panels...but some of them I will try in the future ( but I will need get better on perpective first, you know? Thank for the video! And I like the big panels when the perspective is moving acording to the user but....I do'n know how to do that!!! It's look great. If you can, can you make us a video teach us how to do that? Thanks for your time! Have a nice day.
It basically doing the same perspective rules you know, but just having multiple horizon lines in a single image, one lower than the other. But yea, I can do a video.
It’s funny I was checking out the first ep of your comic while watching this video and I love the first shot of the city. I think it flows well into the next panel with the character looking out the window.
Thank you so much for this. I’m looking to make a WEBTOON to improve my art skills and had just a vague idea of what the layout would be. This really helped
7:26 that's a really great point you're making about the horizon line changing and you scroll down the scene. (I'm thinking spherical perspective). Also, I just subscribed to your comic, will check it out!
@@walterostlie yea on August 1st, I'll finally be free, I'll make a short comic to test what format of making comics work for me, and thanks for all the vids that detail all of this out.
Can someone like help??? Cause when i keep writing my main story, new ideas always keep coming about a new story. Excluding my main comic i have like 5 more story ideas and only recently I've had another idea in a post apocalyptic world in the year 2050 or 2100 like AHHHH WHAT SHOULD I DO!?!?!?
You need to pick one and at least make a single story act or at least a scene. You need to finish something, make yourself finish something before you move to something else. All creators have this problem, there are so many ideas, but you have to pick one and produce a "thing" otherwise you will never do anything.
07:43 actually your horizon line DOES not move down. it stays at the same point. Just the point of view of the reader changes, until he is under the horizon line :-) Had a similar issue last week with some art of mine ;)
I am moving the horizon line down for different parts of that image. At least the horizon line in terms of artistic perspective. In incremental and static steps of course, since I can't continually and dynamically move it like a movie or interactive video. Or did you mean something else? Or are we saying the same thing different ways?
@@walterostlie I think that we mean the same, in different ways. :-) since a single panel is one picture, it has a fixed perspective. But the moment that you scroll down below the horizon line, you suddenly see onto the objects, instead of at them from below. Like I said, I think we mean the same in different ways. Since I completely agree with your good video completely :-)
A really helpful video thanks walter!!! Also can we transform a book into a webtoon?? Like how some creators make their comics based on their favourite book. One example i can think of is The Wrath And The Dawn. Like how the story is from a book. (Sorry for my bad explaination)
Like adapting someone's pre-existing novel for comic format? Yea, you can, but you'd need the author's permission to do so. You could do it on your own for fun, but selling it would get you in trouble. Technically, by law, you can't do it without permission even if you don't make any money. But the same goes for fan art and everyone does that.
Nothing much, just that I was looking at it with the 800px wide canvas at 100% zoom. Which means it would look the same as pulling it up on webtoon via a web browser.
I dunno what my Cats doby night, but i would asume they surv on my TH-cam account then;) I totally enjoyed that issue, since Webtoon are so much different when it comes to panels.
hey walter.. love ur works. i downloaded ur template for the PS. im abit confused. could u do a video or is there a video u already did explaining on the guide lines etc. it really helps!
I've got a couple of videos. I did an entire series of making a webtoon from start to finish that you can look at, here's the playlist th-cam.com/video/dIw-sUar9Lk/w-d-xo.html I think the second video will give you the info you're looking for. I also did a super quick make a comic video using krita, but you'd be able to apply a lot of the thumbnail stuff with PS as well th-cam.com/video/hTDUGqwUD4Q/w-d-xo.html
How are you determining that? Just the panel width or downloading the image off webtoon? If you're just doing the panel width, most webtoons don't use the the entire 800 width for the panels, they leave whitespace on the sides. If you are doing it another way they may have just messed up and made their comic too small.
@@walterostlie I tried testing to upload with a width of 700 in the webtoon and while I see the preview still looks big (width 800), I am more comfortable with the smaller ones... btw tq for this useful information
Thank you so much! I have a question, though. How do you make the panels? Do you just draw them in or do you have a tool for it? For a manga-style comic, it's pretty straightforward (preset layouts, divider tool), but for vertical webtoons, I haven't gotten much experience for them. Thanks again!
Yes, before you publish you can preview the comic. You can also edit the comic after you upload without having to delete the episode, so you retain likes and comments.
Walter Ostlie you rock, thank you for doing these videos, and touching on subjects no one else really has. This videos has best tips when it comes to webcomics. Im still a little confused when it comes to 800x1280 sizing and panel placing inside those dimensions, hopefully the preview will sort that out for me
You should definitely leave a larger gap between panels, more so than traditional print comics. But you don't want too much space either unless you're doing it for storytelling reasons, otherwise it gets annoying to keep scrolling so far. Look at a few different comics on webtoon and measure the size they use. It won't really make the comic "feel" longer though.
A new Webtoon has been launched and it has a really similar story to mine and even the main Character's name is same, I've been writing my story since the start of 2020, I don't know I think people will bash me for having similar story and same character name I don't want to change anything from my story because all the names are perfect for my story, What should I do?😭
That's tough. It tends to happen quite a bit. I had a similar problem not so long ago. I would say that a lot of stories seem very similar on the surface, but once you start getting into the story and the characters and the writer/artist's voice, it becomes unique. It may be smart to think about how yours will be different and try to highlight that as soon as possible in your story, or highlight the main character's personality quickly. Though I agree, if both main characters are named BlaBla you may want to change your character's name, maybe make sure they don't look exactly the same. Don't let it get you down though, it's not as bad as all that.
I don't plan on doing a we took but how big is a panel normally? I'm drawing traditionally on a 11 by 17 Bristol board paper and I'm going for the a newspaper type. How big is a panel. I'm planning on printing it also.
There really isn't a normal 3"x3" or 300px at 300dpi. I'd say just draw some boxes and putbstixk figures in and then apply to your deliver method, template or website and see how it looks then adjust as needed.
I remember one of the videos I watched, you did this thing where you made a "highlight" box while drawing/pencinkling to move around to measure panels viewed by the viewer at any given moment. I don't remember which video it was, and I can't sit still through all of them to figure it out. It was one of the ones about panels/drawing but I can't quite remember the name of it. ...But it's just a simple layer at reduced opacity, and what size was it? I also remember you mentioning something about drawing at a higher resolution and something about x number of pixels = 1 inch and 900 pixels. I honestly should've been taking notes through those a few months ago. But 300dpi is fine to work in for Webtoon/print?
I talk about it some in this video th-cam.com/video/dIw-sUar9Lk/w-d-xo.html. Also this older video has more guides in it th-cam.com/video/NNy3c3QOr6w/w-d-xo.html
Canvas comics can't upload a second language version to their comics, only Originals can do that right now. You could create two different comics on your webtoon account, one for each language, but they would be different comics with seperate likes, comments, subs.
Photoshop is a good program for making comics. If you want to make comics for printing, the usual size is 6.625 x 10.25 inches. For Webtoon it has to be at least 800px wide x any height.

I don't plan on doing a we took but how big is a panel normally? I'm drawing traditionally on a 11 by 17 Bristol board paper and I'm going for the a newspaper type. How big is a panel. I'm planning on printing it also.
There really isn't a normal 3"x3" or 300px at 300dpi. I'd say just draw some boxes and putbstixk figures in and then apply to your deliver method, template or website and see how it looks then adjust as needed.
I remember one of the videos I watched, you did this thing where you made a "highlight" box while drawing/pencinkling to move around to measure panels viewed by the viewer at any given moment. I don't remember which video it was, and I can't sit still through all of them to figure it out. It was one of the ones about panels/drawing but I can't quite remember the name of it.
...But it's just a simple layer at reduced opacity, and what size was it?
I also remember you mentioning something about drawing at a higher resolution and something about x number of pixels = 1 inch and 900 pixels. I honestly should've been taking notes through those a few months ago. But 300dpi is fine to work in for Webtoon/print?
I talk about it some in this video th-cam.com/video/dIw-sUar9Lk/w-d-xo.html. Also this older video has more guides in it th-cam.com/video/NNy3c3QOr6w/w-d-xo.html
off topic question (sorry if you answered this before): you can upload you comic in webtoons in two different languages? thanks
Canvas comics can't upload a second language version to their comics, only Originals can do that right now. You could create two different comics on your webtoon account, one for each language, but they would be different comics with seperate likes, comments, subs.
@@walterostlie I was thinking in that solution but I wanted to ask anyway. Thanks walter! Probably I'll do that :D
am actually thinking on starting a web comic soon, so what standard page size is used and i use photoshop
Photoshop is a good program for making comics. If you want to make comics for printing, the usual size is 6.625 x 10.25 inches. For Webtoon it has to be at least 800px wide x any height.
Is this still relevant as of 2024?🙏
Hi walter oslie, do you know any free software to draw comic 😆
Medibang, gimp, krita, affinity, etc. Check my community post, it has a big list.
@@walterostlie thank you very much
is your comic on webtoon? It looks so cool that i want to read it. :3
oh found it on the description. ahaha
Hah, hope you dig it! Thanks for watching.
First i guess not like anyone cares lol
I care that you care enough to be first. So thank you.
@@walterostlie 😂 nice way to put it i guess also great video i think i needed this
Can you do a concept art and character art/sheet video? I'd love to see your perspective on it!
Also great video! Just what I needed.
