If you liked or didn't like this video, please let me know in the comments below. It won't hurt my feelings. My answers were ad-libbed, so I may have rambled, but I also may have said things I normally wouldn't have because it doesn't apply to everyone. Was it too long? Should I limit the number of questions? How often would you like to see this kind of video?
I love these kinds of videos cause i can listen to them while I'm working on my comic. I hope you'll make more in the future. Here's my question in case you wanna make another one of these: How do you draw characters consistently without having the same face for every character?
Also another tip for promoting your webtoon: tell your friends and ask them to read and share it with other people and even post some promo art on platforms like instagram, snapchat (public story), and even facebook.
I graduated from art school two years ago, and for life reasons my drawing skills had already been rusty going in, and the program didn't have enough technical classes to get me up to speed. I'm starting a webcomic and I'm purposefully being really kind to myself and letting myself learn on the page, even if it means the style and quality changes (hopefully for the better) as it progresses, because I'm worried if I don't have a project that forces me to create in large quantities that I find fun I may just give up on making art, so I'm so happy to hear you did something similar!
This was def an info dump. I normally don’t click to watch videos that is titled so broad like “Q&A” bc I prefer to listen to vids that are discussing specific topics I’m looking for. But I realize it’s not bad to listen to listen to these once in a while. Sometimes I pick up new thoughts and tips on topics I didn’t even think about before. Thank you, Walter!!
I've learned to do 2 panels a page with a third panel only for sudden reactions. It took a bit to go from 3-4 panels with low quality, to realizing doing 2 panels a page makes the comic flow smoother and be higher quality. (Idk if it's just me, but krita hates being at a high ppi with the ratio, and i have to hand letter because it makes the text 12 times bigger than the page.)
Krita handles text differently than I am used to, it was a struggle for me to letter with it. Assuming when you say 2 panels per page, you mean 2 panels on a 800x1280px file? Yeah, I can totally see that. I don't work in the file by file process, but I am about the same 2 panels for every 1280px
This video makes me feel so much better about my dream to start a webcomic. I'm just starting to work on my art and it felt like I was going to be at this for twenty years before putting it out there. Thanks for these
This video series of yours is going to establish you nicely on the seat of pioneer of the Webtoon Help subgenre in the UA-cam art community. Congratulations. Probably nobody's going to say this, but that shows you have really good business sense.
Muwhahaha. Carving out my tiny little corner ;-) It's tricky though, I'm super happy to help people, but I wonder if I am overly technical vs motivational/inspirational/entertaining which seems more popular on UA-cam. Oh well, all I can do is keep helping, what happens, happens. Thanks!
@@walterostlie I appreciate the super technical style, because nobody has really written the bible yet on how to get this done. Not even Webtoon's own Creator 101 videos. Since Webtoon has a lower bar of entry, a lot of young or beginner comic artists are willing to try but don't know where to start. And they're already equipped with the motivation and the passion and what have you. The how to get things done without flailing in the dark is really the hard part. You have lit a lamp along this dark tunnel, my friend, and people will follow that light source.
listening to your videos while working is really relaxing! I have a question, can comic artists make a living only from patrons of their audience? Because the weekly deadline is really exhausting for some people (including me)so the artist can release their eps monthly, I know building an audience is hard and we need to really making good comic/engaging or even extraordinarily good, so what your opinion on this one?
hi walter, just wanted to say ur content is super useful to alot of artist including myself, u have so much knowledge, thank u and ur vids are never boring to watch which is great cuz i always doze off, again thank u for the tips
Omgosh. Thank you so much for accepting/answering my questions! :) also Yes you got my name right :). I have had trouble with finding things like that on clips site but sketchfab was perfect! Thank you so much!
Can't watch this just yet, but super excited to! Already know it's going to be great. As someone who came from the old school webcomic world, your videos have really helped ease my Webtoon anxieties :)
I am honored by your trust in my videos! Thank you! I right there with you. Trying to figure out how to take that old webcomic and traditional comic knowledge and translate it to Webtoon. Good luck webtooning!
@@walterostlie Okay I had time to watch now haha. Love that you included the subtitle of the question you were addressing throughout. It provided nice organization in combination with the ad-libbed answers, which felt genuine, but articulate! It's nice to have long videos to listen while you're drawing. Also you can do 5 pages A DAY?? Man, I'm proud of myself when I do that many in a month haha.
Yeah, I've done 5 pages a day...but they got to be pretty simple pages ;-) and then my brain melts to mush. I did 3 pages today. It's takes time to get that fast...or doesn't take time. something like that.
Is it ok if I share my comic once released for some feedback and improvements? Edit: I been using your whole series for webtoon so thank you so much Walter. Big fan!
Thank you to making these video. I want to make my comic but somehow I just can make myself start it lol. It's.. I don't know. Like I always have many idea for the chapter and can't stop adding another scene until I give up. And that without even starting drawing anything lol.
It's one of the tricks of being creative. We come up with so many ideas which is great, but sometimes we have to turn off the faucet or the sink will overflow and just make a mess. Giving yourself deadlines is a great way to force yourself to move to the next stage. Say May1st, the story needs to be done and I need to start drawing. Maybe your story won't be perfect and fully flushed out with all your cool ideas, but it will be done enough to draw. Then by may 15th you have the first episode done. only allow yourself to do 60 panels per episode, and only 30 panels per scene. I know being creative is supposed to be about complete freedom, but restrictions are the way to make sure things get done. Good luck with making your comic!
> I don’t know if this question have already been asking are not ! but how do we put all Webtoon on front page of WEBTOONnofficial ? I know we have to get 1000 sub first but how ?
Webtoon controls the front page, so it's up to them who gets to show up there. A lot of the time it's featured original comics. Sometimes an editor finds a canvas comic they like. There isn't much you can do other than make really good comics and share it with as many people as possible.
I don't know if this question has been asked before- I talk different languages and I wanted to make my comic not only English but also do other versions for other people to read it(Like french, spanish, etc..). But I've only seen the Originals webtoons having those different langues option and not the canvas webtoons. Is there a way for me to add another language to it or do I have to be one of the Originals creator? (I'm so sorry if my question isn't well formulated-)
There are a few features that are only available to originals. I believe that is one of them. I don't see any place to do a do a secondary language. You'd have to create a whole new series just for the other language. You could create a link tree and at the end of each episode show the link with the available languages. People could go sub to the one they preferred.
THANK YOU!! So many of my questions were answered just now😄 I’ve just got one question about the the size requirements for webtoon covers. I did some research and the size of the canvas has to be 436x436. For me, that’s really small. How should I go about drawing the cover on a larger canvas and “shrinking it” to fit the required dimensions? Also to answer your question in the comments, your videos aren’t that long. For my case it was really helpful with lots of good information. I really appreciate the work you put into making these : D
Yea, what Angello said. I think all programs have a way to resize the canvas and export out to a jpg. If it doesn't, you can google resize image and there are online sites that will resize it for you.
If you're looking for pre-generated environments, clip studio has a lot of good stuff. If you're willing to put in some time, you can learn sketchup (free online version) and build simple backgrounds. Otherwise searching on Google images or using Google Maps street view is pretty nice. Otherwise just keep it super simple, you don't need a lot of detail if that isn't your favorite thing to do, the reader's imagination will do a lot of work for you. They just need the general idea...kid's room, city street, rural country. Good luck.
Is it ok to still do the traditional comic format of 1 page on webtoon? Due to my schedule, I am unable to produce a webtoon-length episode in my timeframe that is to my personal standard.
Yes you can, but it won't be as enjoyable of an experience as the webtoon format. You don't need long episodes, but I would still suggest taking your traditional format and just stacking the panels with a good amount of gutter space between each panel, make the word balloons bigger and stick them outside the panel borders, if possible.
I noticed a lot of webtoons get picked up by Netflix lately and it's either hit or miss when staying true to the story. If you are presented with an opportunity to turn your webtoons into a Netflix series would you?
I love your videos, they’re always informative and helpful. I wanted to ask did you go to college to study art or illustrations before becoming a comic book creator. I’m asking because I’m debating wether to go and get a degree or just start my webtoon without getting a degree. Thank you
I didn't go to art college or ever take any art classes beyond basic high school courses. You don't need to go to school to make comics or art. School is good if you need help with focus and direction, but as far as working and valuable knowledge, you can get that from UA-cam if you just look around. The best school is going to be just making your comic. The problems you find, fix, and fail will teach you more and teach you faster than any school could. School just gives you a path they selected and access to lots of information, tools, resources, and contacts/relationships. But it's not always obvious so you have to figure that stuff out on your own also.
I was wondering if the editors help with the storyline, e.g. plotholes and give new ideas? I usually see the story slightly changes in some featured webtoons when comparing it to the canvas version.
When people upload on canvas do they get paid?? Also if you just started uploading when do you get paid?? Just askin cause ima also start uploading maybe in the near future. Btw love your vids!!! They're really helpful!!
You don't get paid immediately for posting to webtoon on Canvas. You can get money via Ad Revenue Share, but you need quite a few readers to pull that off. The starting point is 1000 subscribers and 40,000 monthly views. So you have to work and hustle to build that audience.
@no, stupid It's a lot of things and can be different for each creator. Some of it is uploading more episodes, but really it's the work of uploading consistently and still feeling the urge to hustle even when no one is reading your comic. It's hearing about some new platform and trying it out to talk about your comic or art even if you're nervous about looking stupid. It's being brave enough to tell people about your comic when you feel like they may hate it or say you're spamming them. It's walking into the storm of uncertainty and bitting cold, when it would be easier to stay inside and sit by the fire.
@no, stupid They do some stuff. Occasionally they handpick some canvas comics to promote via banners or special events like "editor's top picks" and they show some stuff as far as the latest update or most popular. But it will be a lot of you promoting it yourself. I made this video recently about getting readers ua-cam.com/video/PdqFxlvNdkc/v-deo.html
monthly page views is how many times your comic is accessed. if someone finds your comic and reads 10 episodes, that 10 page views. If 4,000 people do that same thing, it's 40,000 page views. Is that what you're asking?
So I came across your vids only recently since I'm trying to work myself out of procrastination and I really like them! They're pretty informative since I'm still working through webtoons' format. I just hope I can get some chapters out for my comic soon!
Thanks for checking out the video and I'm glad they are helping. Good luck with your comic. let me know when you start posting it or if you have any questions.
Thank you for this amazing video, you are helping a lot out there. It had always been my dream to work as an artist or graphic designer, and your videos help me step by step. My question is what kind of materials/devices do you use for your comic making? Also how to improve drawing figures?
Simple pen and paper is good enough for making comics. I work digital using Clip Studio Paint and a Cintiq 21ux, but you don't need that to start making comics. I started with just paper. It was only a few years ago, that I went completely digital, I worked traditional for 7 years. You can get a simple drawing tablet for 40 dollars or drawing monitors for 400. For traditional, a simple mechanical or lead holder pencil, micron pens, pentel brush pen, and thick bristol (not vellum) paper is a good place to start. Even just a decent quality sketchbook paper is good. Draw a lot of figures using reference, google search karate, parkour, dancing, skateboarders. Also try to pay attention to the gesture of the pose and break the pose down into shapes.
Featured artists are paid by Webtoon to produce comics. Anyone can create a canvas comic. Sometimes canvas comics are selected to become featured. That is based on quality, popularity, and community.
Walter Ostlie ahh that’s a relief. I’m making a WEBTOON based on a short story I had to write for English class, for practice and if I’d have 60 panels it would only be 2 chapters lol (it’s planned to be 9 chapters) Thank you so much for replying I really appreciate it!!! 😄✨
Hello Walter Ostlie my question iscould you tell us what your schedule is like making an action type webtoon or one that needs to be about 40-50 panels? what turns his alreadya few of the other artists schedules but I don't really know how I should fashion mine when I'm trying to do in action type super-hero type webtoon I know I need to buffer but I don't know how a weekly process of adding more comics to the virtual fire should go please help me.
Yeah, I've started writing a schedule one, hopefully it will answer your questions. But I take 4 days to thumbnail, draw, ink my 40 panel episode. Then 2 days to color. That let's me do a episode a week. I also have 10 episodes in my buffer before I start.
@@walterostlie thank you very much I look forward to your next videoI'm an aspiring webtoons artist and I've finished my first chapter and I have 18 more in writing stocked up I was just waiting till I had enough episodes to release it
This is just my opinion, but usually a 10 means perfect. 5 means average. However in webcomics. 10 is pretty much a standard rating for a comic you like. once you start going below 10 is starts hurting the comic's rating. Going to 5 is basically saying you don't think the comic is any good. giving it a 1 says you hate the creator for some reason. I don't think rating impacts webtoon comics too much, but not sure.

You can do that, just create a canvas that has the shape of a square it could be 4500x4500 and then you just shrink it
Yea, what Angello said. I think all programs have a way to resize the canvas and export out to a jpg. If it doesn't, you can google resize image and there are online sites that will resize it for you.
What advice would you give when creating a background? Background app?
If you're looking for pre-generated environments, clip studio has a lot of good stuff. If you're willing to put in some time, you can learn sketchup (free online version) and build simple backgrounds. Otherwise searching on Google images or using Google Maps street view is pretty nice. Otherwise just keep it super simple, you don't need a lot of detail if that isn't your favorite thing to do, the reader's imagination will do a lot of work for you.

Not sure if this question was asked but how do people add sounds/animated panels? Loved your video btw!!
Only Originals can use sound and animated images currently.

I won't go and ask "how much do you make?" but I'm gonna ask you " is it enough?"
Made enough to quit my job at the time. It's above minimum wage if you can do an episode a week.

Yes. They will offer insights and help you work through problems. They don't force change, at least from my experience.
I think a good idea for a video is how to make a Cover for your comic book.
Someone else asked for that topic as well. I'll add it to the list for sure. Thank you.

and what is montly pvs (us region) cause i am bit confused about that
average pvs ? can i know , please answer
can you make a video pls
monthly page views is how many times your comic is accessed. if someone finds your comic and reads 10 episodes, that 10 page views. If 4,000 people do that same thing, it's 40,000 page views. Is that what you're asking?

Simple pen and paper is good enough for making comics. I work digital using Clip Studio Paint and a Cintiq 21ux, but you don't need that to start making comics. I started with just paper. It was only a few years ago, that I went completely digital, I worked traditional for 7 years. You can get a simple drawing tablet for 40 dollars or drawing monitors for 400. For traditional, a simple mechanical or lead holder pencil, micron pens, pentel brush pen, and thick bristol (not vellum) paper is a good place to start. Even just a decent quality sketchbook paper is good. Draw a lot of figures using reference, google search karate, parkour, dancing, skateboarders. Also try to pay attention to the gesture of the pose and break the pose down into shapes.
@@walterostlie Thank you for the tips!
In case u want to do a comic with a beach display, with people in swimming costumes...is it allowed
yes, as long as they are not fully nude.
Crazy for myself asked...
I WHEEEZED
Ok so ik the wage for any featured is $2000, with some bonus depending on the views. may i know whats the rate of amount of bonus per views?
It's 50% ad revenue share, but ad revenue constantly changes. That 2000 number is not for all webtoons.
What is the difference between being a Canvas artist and a featured artist? How do canvas artists are picked?
Featured artists are paid by Webtoon to produce comics. Anyone can create a canvas comic. Sometimes canvas comics are selected to become featured. That is based on quality, popularity, and community.
Walter Ostlie Thanks for the information😊

Hey Walter thanks for the tips
thanks so much!!! this will help me alot!
love it lots
Sweet! Appreciate it. I already have a list of questions piling up, so this is good. Questions is, will we ever answer all the questions?
@@walterostlieyour welcome , amm.. hows webtoon pay you by credit card?
Hi I have question
Why do you need to crop/slice your comic?
So that the comic can adhere to webtoons upload guidelines. Webtoon has those requirement to help speed up download times form their readers
Oh OK thank you for replying so fast :)
40-60 panels is enough
Me: *has average of 23 panels per chapter* oH
That's number works fine. Readers will always want more regardless. It's about consistency more than anything else.
Walter Ostlie ahh that’s a relief. I’m making a WEBTOON based on a short story I had to write for English class, for practice and if I’d have 60 panels it would only be 2 chapters lol (it’s planned to be 9 chapters) Thank you so much for replying I really appreciate it!!! 😄✨
@@eiji3525 how's the webtoon going???
Thank you! really helped a lot 💕🙌🔥
Glad it helped, thanks for your question. Pretty sure I butchered your name, so my apologies.
Hello Walter Ostlie my question iscould you tell us what your schedule is like making an action type webtoon or one that needs to be about 40-50 panels? what turns his alreadya few of the other artists schedules but I don't really know how I should fashion mine when I'm trying to do in action type super-hero type webtoon I know I need to buffer but I don't know how a weekly process of adding more comics to the virtual fire should go please help me.
Yeah, I've started writing a schedule one, hopefully it will answer your questions. But I take 4 days to thumbnail, draw, ink my 40 panel episode. Then 2 days to color. That let's me do a episode a week. I also have 10 episodes in my buffer before I start.
@@walterostlie thank you very much I look forward to your next videoI'm an aspiring webtoons artist and I've finished my first chapter and I have 18 more in writing stocked up I was just waiting till I had enough episodes to release it
what is diffrerent between rate 5 or 10 pls anwser
This is just my opinion, but usually a 10 means perfect. 5 means average. However in webcomics. 10 is pretty much a standard rating for a comic you like. once you start going below 10 is starts hurting the comic's rating. Going to 5 is basically saying you don't think the comic is any good. giving it a 1 says you hate the creator for some reason. I don't think rating impacts webtoon comics too much, but not sure.
Thank You!
No worries. Hope the answered helped.
Pls do I get paid on canvas and how do I get paid well?

You keep saying pages, do you mean panels or episodes or are you talking about regular comics
Yes, both, all of the above. I guess it depends on the question I was answering.
How much can we earn from webtoon?? Like 1000 views= how much money?
