I like to watch people talking and drawing, i love the timelapse, it also helps me focus even more when people draw what they are talking about like a timelapse animation ? idk but great video like always
You really helped me go through the process of creating my first webtoon called "A Body Apart". I'm looking forward for your future videos since it's a great help for us aspiring comic creators. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Prints dead, man, prints dead! Hah, just kidding. Really need some conventions to open back up and be safe, so we can actually sell these physical books.
@@walterostlie kkkkkk that's great I am looking forward to this video ! I started watching a Japanese show called manben here on UA-cam, they show famous manga artists and is so interesting to watch them working, what their workspace look like, their routine etc I learned a lot.
time lapse is good! I think for any totally new viewers it's good to show how skilled you are in the medium so they'll take your advice more seriously.
I guess that's true, I've been fighting it though because I want it to be more about the information and the knowledge versus any perceived skill I may have. But it's prolly smart to do more timelapses.
What I like about this channel is that he has helped everyone by answering question not only on video but also in the comment section. I really respect u
@@priyankasubba6316 This video explains the ways I know of making money with comics. Ad revenue is the only way to get money from the company Webtoon unless you become featured/original, then they will pay you per episode a certain amount of money. but that is also hard. Most indie comic creators have to use the other methods I describe to make money with their comics or get freelance jobs making art/comics for other people.
I start money on commision It was fun making someone character But webtoon was the one i want to be into , once i finish all commisions i just work on comic Once my comic publish i will stop making commisions That was intire plan i have in mind
In my opinion, I like it better when you're the one talking in front of the camera plus the informative things you show us in the videos like the chart for Webtoon. Because it's like talking to us viewers personally. It's like you're earning every viewers trust and also makes us focus more on the information you are relaying. While watching this video, I find myself being lost to your art and just watching it, not being able to focus to the information your saying. (So I'll re-watch this later w/o looking at the video itself.) lol. Anyway, if you plan to upload speedpaints, that would be awesome too. What you could do while doing that is maybe answer some of your viewer's questions or maybe tell a story about your past experiences or about your dog- Or.. Just play music while doing your speed paint. It would be more boring but you could say hi to us in the beginning and end like you always do. Also, making a separate video for speed paint would let you produce more videos for us to watch. (More work though, but atleast it's additional video) These are the things that came to mind when you asked us. I'm not really a UA-camr but I observed those things from other UA-camr. It might help you. (Hope so) I don't usually put comments on UA-cam videos but because of how you make yours, (Putting up a very approachable aura that would make anyone want to be your friend) this would actually be my second time commenting on a single UA-camr. Hope I could get some advice from you too when I start publishing my webcomic, Walter. Cheers!
Thank you very much, Eiden. Really appreciate you taking the time to give me your thoughts, especially when you don't usually comment. That means a lot. Honestly, that is why I haven't really done timelapses, because I want it to be about the information and just being helpful. But I know a lot of people like the timelapses as well. I may have to do a mixture of them. Maybe timelapses for topics that don't require a lot of visual information, and then more personal when it is an instructional topic. and when you start publishing your comic, you know where to find me, would love to help.
I don't know if someone said this already, but another way to make money as a comic artist is to stream on Twitch and gain monthly subscribers that way. Streaming might not be good if the artist is already trying to sell their comic making process videos or screenshots on gum road or patreon (because viewers could say "why buy it when I can watch how you make you comic on your streams for free?") But I see some twitch comic artists stream how they draw fanart or commision work instead of their actual comic. I notice that fans and viewers get to know artists very well on twitch and subscribe (pay money) monthly because they like the artist personally. I hope this helps someone. Thank you Walter, I always learn a lot from your videos!!
Oh yeah, totally forgot about twitch. That's a good one. I even used to stream. So a total duh moment on my part. It's a good way to build up fans and get more commissions. I think I forgot about it because it caused me to be very unproductive, because I spent more time talking than drawing.
Hi, I was wondering if it was at all possible to do a video on simplifying your art style for the sake of time and sanity without art losing it’s charm. Same with writing. I feel that when I write I’m tempted to write a novel styled script, but I don’t really have the time or stamina to do that. Anyway, that’s all! Thank you for the advice in your videos. Always appreciated!
Thank you so much for this. I’ve been wondering for… how long as i can remember 🤔 how to live from my art one day. Your casual video gave me SO MANY answers 😭🙏
I always expected comics to be alot of hard work but I only truly relieved it until I made the first my own webtoon purely love But yet it somehow still slot of fun to do despite the steepest nights
That's real cash money of you Jokes aside I got a question. I'm fortunate enough to live in a county where life is dirt cheap. I have no need to make even 4 figures in usd a month. Could I realistically make a couple hundred from only webtoons and patreon?
I recommend you just look at different webtoon creators' patreons. Realistically, I've seen dozens of webtoon creator's patreons and most make about $10- 100 dollars a month if they are on canvas, and about $1000 dollars month or more if they are an original. In additionally, add revenue isn't much. So realistically, if you are good and can get popular, you can do it. If you aren't, than I'd say no. You'll need a day job.
I agree with Liz, it's possible, but would take a lot of time and making a really exciting and engaging Patreon. Not something you can get within the first 20 episodes, but maybe after a year of making a comic you'd start getting closer. Depending on a lot of stuff of course.
Im happy you asked for opinions! I do it often too but not many people reply and i find it slightly frustrating. I honestly don't think that the timelapses were better than when you were talking. I guess unless it's directly related to your topic (like in your panels video) I find it a bit distracting and prefer you showing yourself rather than a time-lapse. On the plus side I love that pose!! 😊 This is a very helpful video as I plan to start a webtoon next year but my mom has always been worried that i won't be able to earn anything! 😊
A lot of others agree with you about the timelapse being distracting and prefer the more conversational face-to-face and infographics. So I'll prolly stick to that instead of the timelapse, unless the video topic doesn't need a lot of information transfer. Thanks for your insight, really appreciate it.
I actually don't mind either the timelapse thing or seeing ur face, maybe a balance of both? XD Or maybe also inserting some stuff from time to time according to topic? Just like how u showed the list of how much one can earn according to monthly views on webtoon, u can show what gumroad looks like when we're in the topic of gumroad. Thank u for the vid, btw! Helpful as always ^-^ PS. I'm also curious about ko-fi. I've been seeing a lot of creators lately that they use ko-fi for commissions and/or donations. I myself am considering it cuz the tier thing on patreon kinda intimidates me. If anyone has any comment on ko-fi, I'd love to hear it, thanks!
Yeah, looking like a combination will be the way to go, depending on the topic on hand. I worry about timelapse and showing info-graphics in the same video, because people may only listen when they think I am just drawing and miss the info-graphic. I suppose I could say "eyes to the front of the class" ;-) I need to look more into ko-fi, someone else mentioned it as well. If it is an easier version of patreon, that could be great. Patreon is awesome, but it is a little "heavy"
I don't mind if you do a time-lapse of a drawing or you're in front of a camera talking. Just keep putting up pictures or videos on screen of what you're talking about. It helps to understand and follow along of what you're saying :)
There is also Ko-fi. I just signed up for gold wich has subscription (like patreon) where people can pay for posts and they sell commissions on there. The only downside is you have to pay for it ($6 a month) and they don't have an app (yet!)
@@walterostlie I am currently working on a short comic for another contest in my country, but yes, I have a storyboard ready for webtoon! I am planning to start publishing on canvas🖤
can you publish your comic outside of webtoon (as a paperback, kindle etc) after you signed a contract with webtoon or do they restrict you in that way?
Kudos to you for working so hard for what you love! I myself was able to make it happen with video games, but I'm just so intrigued to create comics as well, that even if it won't make me money, I wanna do it. Now... on the other hand, I just can't keep back my business instinct and planning things so that it might make some bucks after a while... who knows, right?
The only way to make money on webtoon is by making your characters look anime, or korean. Stories predictable and vanilla and exactly what the readers wants to hear.
Hey, Walter! Wassup? Thank you for help us with such great tips. The timelapse is cool, but in this kind of videos I rather see who is talking to me. I think a timelapse video would be cool in a tutorial or something. Do whathever make you few good, tho! You're doing a great job.
Thanks, appreciate the feedback. Quite a few people agree with you. So it may just be a combination depending on the video topic. I'm not a huge fan of the timelapse, but was thinking more people would want to see art. Doesn't appear to be the overwhelming case, so I am kinda happy about that. Though the video is doing well, so who knows ;-)
Late to comment, but I prefer a face talking to me! Drawing timelapses overwhelm me, and I have ADHD so it makes it harder to pay attention to what you're saying. When I watch videos for art concept tips and there's an unrelated timelapse happening, I'll turn my screen away.
Hi! just a question for you next vid, is it okay to have an ad rev in your series on canvas webtoon and also have an ad rev on tapas of the same webtoon at the same time? This question kept running through my head so I thought you the best one that can help with my question. BTW I REALLY LOVE YOUR VIDS! KEEP IT UP
You can totally do that. If you're not under contract with Webtoon as an Original comic, than you can do whatever you want with your comic and make money with it however you can figure out. So ad rev with tapas, print it as a book to sell, sell the idea to a movie studio, get it published with a publisher. Any are fine.
I like more this timelapse watching you drawing, and go check KOFI is similar to Patreon the difference is you do not pledge for a monthly subscription, you just invite a KOFI to the artist you like, is a one shoot contribution, some artist share rewards to the ones that back them up there with access to special content or even promotional items, discounts and many more, they are getting day by day and growing, and the artist are running rampage with creativity to reward the people that support them, videos, image galleries, tutorials, KOFI is becoming a great platform ;3
I've been writing the story of my webtoon since February and now I've written over 50+ episodes, I can't draw them right now because of not having the app I need so how do I motivate myself because I feel the more I'm writing day by day the story is falling:(
It's okay to feel that way. Just believe in your story and about the falling part... I'm not an expert but just think of it as a trial and error method so that by the time that you get the app you need, your story will be full proof. Sometimes authors start with a bamf story but it starts losing its charm once the author has no idea where to go with the story. All the best to you and your future webtoon story!
I agree with CucuPuffs. I also understand wanting to get the right app before you start, but really you don't have to wait. When you start feeling down about your writing, take a break, and go draw the thumbnails for your story on a piece of paper. Thumbnails are just rough drawings of your story, so you don't need anything fancy. and when you do get your app, you can scan or take a photo of your thumbnails into the app and draw over them. It will be a good head start. And when you start not liking your thumbnails, you can go back to writing. Or character design sketches when you don't want to write or thumbnail. Or just take a walk or sit under a tree and let your brain take a break. Good luck!
Yup already decided that i would publish in like 1 or 2 months. Cause im impatient as hecc. Wish me luck!! Edit: since you have to be 13 or older to publish, does that work for patreon too? Like is there an age limit, or.... how do you even make a patreon page?
You'll find that every website is prolly 13+ and I'm sure it's a big legal thing for the company. Something really expensive lawyers told them to do. So yeah, patreon is also 13+. UA-cam is as well ;-) None of them actually check though. With Patreon you will need another account for the money to transfer to. Like paypal or a bank account. Other than that, it's pretty easy to create your own patreon.
Personally I enjoy watching a face more than time lapses, preferably while the content of the video is being summarised with words, it helps me keep focused with what's happening. A timelapse feels more disconnected from the content that's being talked about imo (ADHD brain here). I do appreciate all of your content though, so I'll watch wether you choose to do timelapses or show Ur face :)
A lot of other people have said the same thing. Was my original concern with doing the timelapse, but figured I'd give it a try since most youtuber artists do that, so was thinking people may prefer it, but doesn't seem to be the case. Definitely do a mix I think depending on topic and what fits better.
Hello sir, remember I asked is it okay to draw without script and you advise it it important , ? Yes sir it it really good decision, I was making a horror story where a lil girl live with her only father but after writing the script of second day I got an idea how her mother dies ,if I draw the pages it would be really hard to set that scene in there .... thank you sir*-* *hugs*
I need your help, its important.. Can i publish my manga in webtoon? I made a manga but i just realized that manga & webtoon are different... Can i publish or will there be an issue... Help pls
Awesome and interessing video, like usual. I got a question tho, how Can I build a fanbase? Because, since i'm working on my comic, I don't have much Time to draw other things to show to people. How Can I balance that ??
Trying to make a name for yourself in comics is tough. It's almost like you have to be able to conjure time from nothing. You either have to adjust your comic making schedule to find time to socialize or start drawing while you're eating or using the bathroom or something. I know how you feel. The faster you want it to happen, the less balance you'll have. You have to figure out how much balance you need in your life, work around that need. Don't push yourself further than that, it's gonna take time.
hi there, your videos are really helpful for me and I am creating a webcomic which I had posted 1 episode in webtoon I got around 150 views in 24hrs , i don't know how much i can earn cuz i am spending too much time in it. can you help me how can i approach this?
They pay per episode, but they only send money every month. So once a month you get paid for around 4 episodes. Like a job, you're paid by hour, but they don't give you money every hour.
I was recommended here by a friend who suggested I should use webtoons for my own manga work. The problem is, I don't a laptop nor a tablet to do digital art, so Im stuck with traditional stuff by hand. But my question is, can I use my hand drawings on webtoons or is it only for digital stuff?
Nah, no one cares how you make the art, pen and paper or pushing pixels. Whatever is whatever. Of course, you'll have to get the traditional art digitized at some point. The preferred style for Webtoon is stacked vertical panels, but you can upload traditional print format as well. If you do that, I'd upload at least 3 pages, 5 would be better, per episode. Also pay attention to lettering size, a lot of people are reading on their phones, so traditional print format tends to lead to smaller lettering.
There is one more way. Make a comic so bad that they will pay you for not continuing it.
Hah, that would have to be like epic level bad.
I must try. Maybe I will invent something like that.
Really????????
u smart my guy
I dunno man, I love me some shitty comics
Don’t mind Walter giving out good advice as usual
Thank you!
*i agree hes good for giving info😀*
I like to watch people talking and drawing, i love the timelapse, it also helps me focus even more when people draw what they are talking about like a timelapse animation ? idk but great video like always
I think I get what you're saying, thanks!
What a Champion! Casually Helping kickstart people's careers👍
Thanks for that! Just happy to be doing some decent good.
נכון, באמת אלוף!
You really helped me go through the process of creating my first webtoon called "A Body Apart". I'm looking forward for your future videos since it's a great help for us aspiring comic creators. THANK YOU SO MUCH!
Congrats on making your first webtoon! Have you already started posting it?
@@walterostlie Oh hosh you replied! I didnt know since I was busy at school. But yeah! I posted it and it's called A Body Apart.
Same, it's called "paper to paper" its a mystery, and paper messages are the main point of the story. Working on the script rn
Stop with these vids Walter. I want to do a webtoon so bad but I'm still stuck in print comics and kickstarter and I hate myself for it.
Prints dead, man, prints dead! Hah, just kidding. Really need some conventions to open back up and be safe, so we can actually sell these physical books.
Physical books are a treasure
You have a wonderful face....
But I prefer the time-lapse. >///<
Thank you!
Hah, that's totally fair ;-)
I plan to spend 3 years creating my comic, such as the story, art, characters, and have a Patreon as well as creating a fan base throughout 3-4 years
That's a great path to start down. Good luck!
I'm curious how would you get your initial idea out there in order to start the fan base because I have so many ideas but no clue where to start
@Bunny not yet but I should definitely create something ❤️🤣
Love the timelapse!
Right on, thanks!
Would you consider filming " a day of a comic artist " ?
C: yeah that would be cool
Yup! I am trying to figure out how to do it without just taping a camera attached to a stick attached to me head ;-)

That is what I did. I used to take a lot of commissions, but now I only draw comics for the most part.
Omg same wowww

can you publish your comic outside of webtoon (as a paperback, kindle etc) after you signed a contract with webtoon or do they restrict you in that way?
if you sign on to be an original, your comic has to stay exclusive. After a certain amount of years, you can print it.

It is hard, but it is possible.

I wan planning on making a webtoon in near future...for now, I was sketching my characters and make the storyline 😊 btw, thanks ❤❤
Thanks Walter, you answered my questions well.
As always great advices 🙌🙌🙌🙌
Kudos to you for working so hard for what you love! I myself was able to make it happen with video games, but I'm just so intrigued to create comics as well, that even if it won't make me money, I wanna do it. Now... on the other hand, I just can't keep back my business instinct and planning things so that it might make some bucks after a while... who knows, right?
The only way to make money on webtoon is by making your characters look anime, or korean. Stories predictable and vanilla and exactly what the readers wants to hear.
Hey, Walter! Wassup? Thank you for help us with such great tips. The timelapse is cool, but in this kind of videos I rather see who is talking to me. I think a timelapse video would be cool in a tutorial or something. Do whathever make you few good, tho! You're doing a great job.
Thanks, appreciate the feedback. Quite a few people agree with you. So it may just be a combination depending on the video topic. I'm not a huge fan of the timelapse, but was thinking more people would want to see art. Doesn't appear to be the overwhelming case, so I am kinda happy about that. Though the video is doing well, so who knows ;-)
Loved the timelapse!
Thanks!
I got a question can I draw the pictures on paper then scan it to my pc then up loaded it that way because I can’t draw on pc
great tips walter (as usually) thanks
Thank you!
Late to comment, but I prefer a face talking to me! Drawing timelapses overwhelm me, and I have ADHD so it makes it harder to pay attention to what you're saying. When I watch videos for art concept tips and there's an unrelated timelapse happening, I'll turn my screen away.
i like the time lapse
Thanks
Loved the honesty 👍👍
thank you for sharing and giving your wisdom, sir
Hi! just a question for you next vid, is it okay to have an ad rev in your series on canvas webtoon and also have an ad rev on tapas of the same webtoon at the same time? This question kept running through my head so I thought you the best one that can help with my question. BTW I REALLY LOVE YOUR VIDS! KEEP IT UP
You can totally do that. If you're not under contract with Webtoon as an Original comic, than you can do whatever you want with your comic and make money with it however you can figure out. So ad rev with tapas, print it as a book to sell, sell the idea to a movie studio, get it published with a publisher. Any are fine.
Thank you so much! You're the best!
This was a question I had too, thank you!
Only like two or three of those were actually making money via webtoons. The rest seemed like ‘go fined money elsewhere’ kind of options lol
That's pretty much life as a comic person.
I like more this timelapse watching you drawing, and go check KOFI is similar to Patreon the difference is you do not pledge for a monthly subscription, you just invite a KOFI to the artist you like, is a one shoot contribution, some artist share rewards to the ones that back them up there with access to special content or even promotional items, discounts and many more, they are getting day by day and growing, and the artist are running rampage with creativity to reward the people that support them, videos, image galleries, tutorials, KOFI is becoming a great platform ;3
I've heard rumblings of it, I haven't had time to check it out though. Guess I should make some time. Thanks!
Hello! Is it required to be 18+ to make money on webtoon?
I've been writing the story of my webtoon since February and now I've written over 50+ episodes, I can't draw them right now because of not having the app I need so how do I motivate myself because I feel the more I'm writing day by day the story is falling:(
It's okay to feel that way. Just believe in your story and about the falling part... I'm not an expert but just think of it as a trial and error method so that by the time that you get the app you need, your story will be full proof. Sometimes authors start with a bamf story but it starts losing its charm once the author has no idea where to go with the story. All the best to you and your future webtoon story!
I agree with CucuPuffs. I also understand wanting to get the right app before you start, but really you don't have to wait. When you start feeling down about your writing, take a break, and go draw the thumbnails for your story on a piece of paper. Thumbnails are just rough drawings of your story, so you don't need anything fancy. and when you do get your app, you can scan or take a photo of your thumbnails into the app and draw over them. It will be a good head start. And when you start not liking your thumbnails, you can go back to writing. Or character design sketches when you don't want to write or thumbnail. Or just take a walk or sit under a tree and let your brain take a break. Good luck!
@@dikichodenbhutia6767 Thank you so much for the reply, I'll try my best for the webtoon I'm working on :)
@@walterostlie I will focus on the drawing too from now on thank you for the advice!
Awesome picture and how do you do colabs? Like mermay where different canvas creators make a comic together with special drawings?
Just think of some fun ideas and reach out to different creators you respect, admire, or just feel are on the same wavelength as you.
Yup already decided that i would publish in like 1 or 2 months.
Cause im impatient as hecc.
Wish me luck!!
Edit: since you have to be 13 or older to publish, does that work for patreon too? Like is there an age limit, or.... how do you even make a patreon page?
You'll find that every website is prolly 13+ and I'm sure it's a big legal thing for the company. Something really expensive lawyers told them to do. So yeah, patreon is also 13+. UA-cam is as well ;-) None of them actually check though. With Patreon you will need another account for the money to transfer to. Like paypal or a bank account. Other than that, it's pretty easy to create your own patreon.
@@walterostlie wow!! Thank you!!!
I love your face but also watching your art process. Maybe do both? Yes, both, both is my answer :)
Hah, maybe split screen ;-)
Personally I enjoy watching a face more than time lapses, preferably while the content of the video is being summarised with words, it helps me keep focused with what's happening. A timelapse feels more disconnected from the content that's being talked about imo (ADHD brain here). I do appreciate all of your content though, so I'll watch wether you choose to do timelapses or show Ur face :)
A lot of other people have said the same thing. Was my original concern with doing the timelapse, but figured I'd give it a try since most youtuber artists do that, so was thinking people may prefer it, but doesn't seem to be the case. Definitely do a mix I think depending on topic and what fits better.
@@walterostlie Nice! I agree switching things up would work quite well :)
Hello sir, remember I asked is it okay to draw without script and you advise it it important , ? Yes sir it it really good decision, I was making a horror story where a lil girl live with her only father but after writing the script of second day I got an idea how her mother dies ,if I draw the pages it would be really hard to set that scene in there .... thank you sir*-* *hugs*
Aw, thank you so much for coming back to let me know! That's great you found that opportunity to make your story better. I hope it's going well.
@@walterostlie yes but now I'm struggling to draw a ferries wheel in perspective 😅 I saw some pictures but still it's so hard
@@Aryaaan-y8x Hah, you'll get it. That's a tough thing to draw. But you got this!
@@walterostlie thank you sir
What about publishing comics on kindle?
this is great. thanks for sharing ❤
Thanks for watching!
I wanted to make my own comic so that i can earn money but I was so poor that I dont have any materials
I am inspired to make a webtoon and I have some great ideas but my art sucks, can I do a Kickstarter for hiring an artist to draw for me?
10:14 what are you made of? i would kill myself in first year of doing that. i have no energy after work to even clean my flat.
I want to start my webtoon too but i am scared , what if i fail 😐
Thank u ❤ Amazing video
Thank you, you're amazing!
I need your help, its important.. Can i publish my manga in webtoon? I made a manga but i just realized that manga & webtoon are different... Can i publish or will there be an issue... Help pls
Yeah, you can put whatever comic you want on webtoon long as there's no nudity or extreme, horrible, graphic, disgusting violence.
Do we have to give bank details also
Not pin number but like account to transfer
So cool
nice video (Y)
which software was that you were using to draw that image?
Clip Studio Paint
LISTEN TO THE END!!!!
Love your content, it is VERY useful, could you do a how to do a Webtoon on the application Medibang and how to put text that would be great!!!!!!
Yes, I will do that soon-ish. Thank you!
Walter Ostlie THANK YOU!!!!!!
Afro Ninja approved 🥷🏾🤙🏾
I have a question, does 40k US page view mean that the viewers have to be from the USA??
Yes, they have to be viewing from a device in the US. A US connection.
@@walterostlie Thanks for answering! You're Always Very helpful.
how can I sign a contract with webtoon to publish my original comic , the only way I know is the second way ,ad revenue share
please answer
Start making comics, posting to Webtoons or making kickstarters. Editors will find you.
Muito obrigado, não consigui encontrar um vidio que fala assim tão detalhado em Português, mas encontrei esse legendado, obrigado
Que bom que as legendas ajudaram
Awesome and interessing video, like usual. I got a question tho, how Can I build a fanbase? Because, since i'm working on my comic, I don't have much Time to draw other things to show to people. How Can I balance that ??
Trying to make a name for yourself in comics is tough. It's almost like you have to be able to conjure time from nothing. You either have to adjust your comic making schedule to find time to socialize or start drawing while you're eating or using the bathroom or something. I know how you feel. The faster you want it to happen, the less balance you'll have. You have to figure out how much balance you need in your life, work around that need. Don't push yourself further than that, it's gonna take time.
@@walterostlie I see, thanks for all those advices! They are really useful
hi there, your videos are really helpful for me and I am creating a webcomic which I had posted 1 episode in webtoon I got around 150 views in 24hrs , i don't know how much i can earn cuz i am spending too much time in it. can you help me how can i approach this?
Well I do want to published but kinda sucked in drawing
We all suck at the start. Then we continually suck less the more we draw. We will always suck, but if we didn't, we could never get better.
If a webtoon becomes anime is it profit creator as well
yes
Who skipped to the end to see what he was drawing
Hey, no cheating.
some people say originals pay per month
some people say originals pay per episode
which is it?!?!
They pay per episode, but they only send money every month. So once a month you get paid for around 4 episodes. Like a job, you're paid by hour, but they don't give you money every hour.
@@walterostlie now that makes perfect sense. thank you for clarifying it!!
Pretty informative👍
Thanks!
I was recommended here by a friend who suggested I should use webtoons for my own manga work. The problem is, I don't a laptop nor a tablet to do digital art, so Im stuck with traditional stuff by hand. But my question is, can I use my hand drawings on webtoons or is it only for digital stuff?
Nah, no one cares how you make the art, pen and paper or pushing pixels. Whatever is whatever. Of course, you'll have to get the traditional art digitized at some point. The preferred style for Webtoon is stacked vertical panels, but you can upload traditional print format as well. If you do that, I'd upload at least 3 pages, 5 would be better, per episode. Also pay attention to lettering size, a lot of people are reading on their phones, so traditional print format tends to lead to smaller lettering.
@@walterostlie Thank you for your insight. I'll check out more of your content to get some ideas :)
Do I need to sign in my card
Great!
Yay time lapse!!!
woot!
