    Hey doods! Thanks for the feedback! Didn’t expect this to be so helpful to people. I haven’t really checked this video in months so I came back and was surprised by the number of views lol. Let me know if there’s other drawing things you’d like videos on and I may make some! I never intended to be a youtuber or anything, but if these videos are wanted, I may continue with youtube.
    Also, as far as the comic in this video goes, I discontinued it. I didn’t have the time since I am in college at the same time, and have had some pains in my hands from overworking. But you can still see my art on my instagram @duckwafer !!

    People I just wanted to give everyone a tip. When you start taking a series very serious I highly recommend posting 3-10 chapters to start off. This will take time but if you struggle to grab attention from the first chapter no one will go back to it a month or week later. So when you are launching your first series post more than 1 chapter so people get the general idea of the story. If you don’t do this just make the first chapter very detailed and eye grabbing. But just enjoy making it and take your time.

    • @syundown6005
      @syundown6005 2 роки тому +67

      Another reason this tip is great is that if the reader reads 3 or more chapters of your comic in a row, they get prompted by Webtoons asking if they want to subscribe to the series, and it makes it a lot more likely for them to do so.

      try simplifying your characters into shapes before you draw them so you can get a hang of consistency and their shapely proportions. keep redrawing their features until you find something you can confidently copy over and over again.

    4:30 it is totally valid to draw on paper then color it in digitally. The author of Spirit Fingers and Our Beloved Summer also do the same thing! The difference is they would draw on hard pressed paper so when they scan the line art, the paper texture would show up. That's why their webtoons has an organic feel to it!

    Hey !
    I don't if people will see this but if some of you are wondering what's the difference between JPEG and PNG :
    - JPEG is the most "common" one and your files will be really light but you tend to lose quality on your photo/art
    -PNG has a better quality but is waaaaay heavier ! Also, if I remember correctly my college classes, it's more accurate for internet use ^^ (and it allows you to put a transparent background which is great when you draw a lot of stickers like me and that you wanna see how the shape turns out :3)

      @@marianmeciar3385 When artists accept the offer to have their comic become an original series, they get offered other artists and sometimes get introduced to other creators (ex. Kenny for bg music) to accommodate whatever they need. Most of the time the artists that become part of the creator's "team" are colorists, storyboard artists, or character design experts. They help relieve some of the load off the creator and help improve the comic.
      Only downside is that at times they follow their own agenda, as the marketing team is catered towards a certain type of trope or style when it comes to your comic that would appeal more to a larger audience. You lose a bit of autonomy when that happens.

    Hi! In actually planning on making a webtoon when I'm 13 or 14 (I'm 12 currently) I'm still trying to improve my drawing skills and ill save this for later. Hopefully older me will remember it
    Edit: thanks so much for the support:D im 13 rn. I improved alot my drawings but i still have to:
    -learn how to make a comic
    -learn how to make backgrounds
    -deciding if i should draw on phone or laptop (im better at phone but i have a drawing pad for my laptop)
    -make my characters
    -make a story/plot
    What im planning to put:
    -Lgbtq representation
    -Some sort of twist
    -People of color
    -Emotional backstories
    -trauma
    Im pretty sure it wont get that famous since it’ll just start in canvas, but ill still try my best:D

      @@i_dont_know_who_i_am_93 they aren’t necessary but are extremely useful.
      1. If you are unsure about how something would look with the whole thing you could use a separate layer. And if you didn’t like it just delete it
      2. Blending modes can really cool to play around with.
      ones I use the most:
      Add- make whatever color under lighter with your selected color
      Multiply- make whatever color under darker with your selected color
      Overlay- adds a tent to colors underneath with your selected colors
      ^those are just the bare minimum in any of my art.^
      3. If you’re unsure about how to shade a specific drawing you can use the layers to test stuff out. Meaning you can shade the same drawing in as many ways as possible and just find the one you like most.
      Idk. There is a simple explanation I guess lol

    i really appreciate the timestamps, being able to go to specific parts is helpful. the Big Win that kept me for the entire rest of it was the mdei/krita promo. dont know medi myself but krita is my preferred app. i did buy a license for csp for 2 major things no other program offers. 1st the native posable 3d maquettes and 2nd the vector layer which, as far as i can tell, flat out beats all the rest for use as an inking tool. iv used most of the big name art apps and never liked the results i got from the tedious methods for inking but csp finally developed a tool that lets you throw down a line, reshape it and give it a more organic feel without the draw/erase/undo/redo roundabout. im new to the whole webtoon thing but the scroll paging really works for me especially some of the entertaining options it opens up in story telling, multilayered concurrent story telling ... gonna be a fun challenge

    This is very useful thank you!~ I plan to make a webtoon once I improve my anatomy and find my style, but so far i've enjoyed just planning the panels with little sketches! ^-^ by any chance, do you know the name of the font that you use? I've been trying to find it for a while but I have had no luck so far •n•

    Cool. Thank you for explaining. I'm just starting drawing with technology, and it looks fun. I'm actually gonna do it for fun. My next step is creating the plot and learning writing parts, which is another world to explore. Thank you again!

    What text settings would you recommend for the procreate app, because I want to make one but I want to make sure the text is consistent// also what should we use to crop the pages when we can only upload on iPad ;-;

      There’s his website loads of webtoon creators use, just search for ‘croppy for webtoon’ and the first link is probably it. All you have to do is upload ur file, select either Webtoon format or Tapas format and it’ll do the cropping for u. Just save it to ur Photos and upload the photos as files each. Hope this helps.

    i'm neither good nor bad at drawing, my skill is still lacking but at the same time i can draw some decent things already, I'm so unsure whether i should just go and start pre-production for my first webtoon or hold it until i become more skillful...

    • @ame5671
      @ame5671 3 роки тому +1

      I suggest that you should just start a one already but something short and slice of life? maybe.. With that you can always stop what you are doing and will have an idea what to do... after that you can start doing the story that you want to with the experinece that you have gained... Idk how to give an advice but this is what i will do so just wanted to say it... Hope it helps :)
