    Hey future peeps who want to be a web toon artist(and are in school) here’s a suggestion that I have. Before you even publish, make around 48 episodes. Why you ask? Well you see my friends there’s 12 months in a year, and there’s roughly 4 weeks In each month, so 4•12 is 48. You can post once a week.Now if you have all the panels made, post next school year, because then you won’t have problem with school work, and making comics. Unless you want to make changes to some(which might happen) but it’ll be easier trust. I’m going to following up on this procedure, and I thought some of you guys would want to hear it... or read it I mean.😸

    • @sobaseb6952
      @sobaseb6952 5 років тому +138

      theres 52 weeks in a year also it would take about a year to make a year's worth of comics and people usually don't want to wait that long to start uploading or spend a whole year making a comic and then it just flops but they spent all their time on it

    • @OnSiteTvee
      @OnSiteTvee 5 років тому +56

      Sophie Bates true, I was just saying it for the people in school mainly because I know it can be busy, school work, sports, and work. I was just thinking maybe in the summer you can get started. Also I would think it depends on your art style and or speed, because I’ve seen people get a big art piece done fast😂 but not everyone can get things done fast

      I wouldn’t recommend doing this.
      While it’s definitely good to create a buffer with a lot of episodes, 48 is waaaayyyy too much. Most people (especially stressed and busy high school students) will get burned out after the first 5 episodes, because they won’t get that rush of motivation from sharing their work with the world. Not to mention, you may come to regret certain storylines or scenes in your episodes when you realize that you want your story to go in a different direction than you originally envisioned a year ago.
      Uruchan mentioned at a fan-meetup that she originally planned John to be completely powerless when creating the first few episodes. However, when her fans began theorizing that John had secret powers, she decided to rewrite her original story because the new one would be more interesting. If she had created the entire comic beforehand, she wouldn’t have been able to make this interesting change.
      Is creating 48 episodes of your comic beforehand a bad thing? No, not at all. However, only professionals who have a godly sense of planning and scheduling can successfully pull that off.
      People should grow with their stories; not finish it in one go. You might miss things you hadn’t thought of earlier.

      Check out ONE's comics One Punch Man and Mob Psycho 100! He was in your exact situation but decided to make it anyway, and succeeded because the stories are so creative and fun! He's a huge inspiration to me because he had the right attitude. Even artists who are good at drawing use the excuse of "maybe I should wait til I'm better." Great art does draw people in, but it's not the only factor. :-) Good luck!

  • @_peppoco_
    @_peppoco_ 5 років тому +110

    Not a creator yet, but another tip to keep in mind about having the storyline:
    To have a beginning, middle, and end to the plot, have an outline, or *timeline*.
    Basically plot the main important events that happen throughout the story on a timeline or written out on an outline to make sure your story stays on the right track. It also helps to avoid the story writing problems Ms. Jin Kim mentions in the video that content creators run into because of a lack of planning.
    What’s great about a timeline is that you can also put in smaller details of what will happen in between the main events to organize what happens when, and more meticulously.
    Hope that made sense ^_^

      !!! I STARTED DRAWING WHEN I WAS 12! I PRACTICED EVERYDAY. Study study study. Learn to draw fabric, learn to draw backgrounds, objects, observe shapes, study styles. Don’t stop observing and taking in things. I just turned 16 last month, and in a few months I plan to release my own webcomic. I used to put myself down because I wasn’t happy with my art, but when I stopped putting myself down and started to jot down notes on what I needed to improve and what I sucked at, my art started to get better and better. Honestly, the fastest way to improve is to create! I’ve been creating fanart for 3 years, and it has definitely helped boost MY understanding of art.
      Take the time to learn stuff properly. Draw from realism, and use references when needed! Remember that your current art is not it’s final form, and that your art in the future isn’t either. You are constantly improving even if it doesn’t seem like it!! 👏👏
      Your age has nothing to do with your skill level! It’s your understanding that has everything to do with your skill.
      Other artists have worked day and night to create these comics and wonderful art, so don’t compare your art with theirs. Don’t hate yourself, look up to them, aspire to surpass them.
      I wish you luck on your art journey 👏👏👋💖💖

I also recommend looking up vids on perspective, anatomy etc. if you want to learn about perspective check out this guy called circle line art school on youtube.

    I just discovered I could publish my own comics on webtoon after using it for so long... I have a lot of stories already set and ready to go and I can draw but I've never made any comics tbh. So just researching at the moment, it seems many others are doing the same :) looking forward to reading all your works. Good luck!

    This would be a good hosting site if they had a notification system for comments and subs, the environment wasn't so toxically competitive, and if the staff made up their minds about whether they allow mature content or not. They delete anything remotely mature despite having a tag for mature webcomics. Also people go around and flag lgbt+ webcomics, and doing downvote rades to keep certain webcomics at the bottom and no one does anything about it? That's kinda messed up, bro.
    It's discouraging so much work is going into stuff like this rather than fixing the issues with the site, and making it more creator friendly rather than a popularity competition. I can't tell you the last time I saw some new stuff in the Discover most popular, and weekly HOT section. At least on the desktop site hasn't changed in ages.
    On the upside, this video is really good. I'm glad you didn't say creators HAD to make vertical scrolling webcomics since not all of them look good in that format, and I personally am partial to traditional formatted comics.

    • @catcactus1234
      @catcactus1234 4 роки тому +4

      Dani bro I completely agree with the notification stuff. It seems like such a simple feature yet it’s still not implemented. There needs to be better notifications, preferably like Instagram.
      About the toxic community... I somewhat agree with you, but I also disagree. The community is almost entirely made up of children and teens. You can tell by the nonsensical comments on the featured comics. There are definitely times when they get overly defensive about their favorite comics and harass other authors that have similar plots for “copying” their favorite series. Often times they can leave hurtful negative comments on beginner’s comics when the story doesn’t go the way they wanted it to. For the most part, it’s easy to ignore if you don’t delve too deep into the comment section. The comment ranking system that chooses the most liked comments to appear first does well to filter out the negative comments and place them at the bottom.
      Last I checked, the BL and GL comics were doing very well on Webtoon. Castle Swimmer was in the Top 5 Webtoons list for a solid month until it went on hiatus. The Canvas Hot Picks list is filled with gay romance comics which have hundreds of thousands of followers. Ratings don’t actually effect your comic that much (the algorithm favors subscribers, likes, and engagement way more) so people rate-bombing the comics aren’t actually doing much in the grand scheme of things. So I don’t really get where your point about LGBT stuff being unfairly treated on Webtoon is coming from.
      Also, I totally agree that the way they’re handling mature stuff is insane. The rules are vague and anything somewhat sexual is at risk of getting banned without warning. However, I don’t blame Webtoon too much for this issue, given how it mainly stemmed from Apple’s updated App Store guidelines. They started banning apps that showcased sexual content or excessive violence about a year ago I believe, so a lot of social media/entertainment companies began cracking down on mature content. Webtoon used to allow more mature content back in the day, but a large portion of their reader base have apple products, so they couldn’t risk getting banned from the App Store.

If anyone's interested in the world ending, and video games - give it a read.

      Has your comic been advertised on Webtoon’s featured page or the popularity lists at all? Usually comics get a lot of subscribers when they get a shout-out on Webtoon’s featured page or get in the Top 30 list on Discover, but then the subscribers stop coming in after your comic is no longer being advertised.
      Also, Jan through Feb is usually a slow month for subscribers because Webtoon’s reader base has to return to school/work after the holidays and they stop reading Webtoons for a bit. But don’t worry, there’s usually more readers during the summer and holiday seasons.

    This is very helpful! I have a lot of story ideas that I’ve wanted to bring more to life than just writing them as novels. My only issue is I’m not confident in my own art abilities and I thought about having someone partner with me but the only two people I know is a close friend of mine and my girlfriend; I love my girlfriend’s art style when it comes to historical asian clothing for anime and such which would be amazing for a couple of my stories, but she’s not very good at drawing faces. My close friend has phenomenal art skills and she’d be perfect to go to but we practically don’t even have time to talk anymore because she’s so busy with school. It would be nice to find someone, however as an artist myself who greatly respects that we deserve to be paid for our works, sadly I don’t have the money to pay someone. So at this rate it probably would be an eternity before I can make a WEBTOON 😅

This and other web comic apps are designed to have the pages or panels scrolling up. It is easier to read than moving a around a single image to read each panel.What did what slice up each page and resized the panels to their format size. When I finish a chapter or issue I upload it in it's original format so you can see how the panels flow.

    I couldn't draw, but I started learning and I mastered the heads now I'm working on hands and feet, I'll keep updating this, someone keep reminding me ;)

    Does everything on Webtoon have to be anime drawn or can the style also be Western comics?

      Both! Any kind of style you want!

      I make my own comic, it's anime-ish but any style is okay!

    I’ve been thinking of making one myself. I, although not very, but is confident in my art. I’m just not consistent with it enough because I can’t draw one character twice, or it will look like different characters with same appearance.
    I got the plot going on but I guess I need more training lol
    Tips: If you are having an artist block, or something like that, you can do a DRAW THIS IS YOUR STYLE challenge. I’m having a burnt out and a sort of artistic block so I’m just taking people’s DTIYS challenge and joining it for funzies. I even posted one yesterday bc I finally gained some confidence:)
