@@bleachedout805 I'm sorry x.x

@@aeryma LOL no but seriously, thanks for trying to help us. I get it now. I overthink. It is my weakness.

​@@bleachedout805 its all good- I'm the same way. I think I've just gotten used to the numbers now after failing many times lol (but I still get it wrong sometimes)

@uncreativeusername4181 it's still a good place to start if you dont have ideas

@@ElijahBadette-s7f thanks, I hope it helps!

@JeffJeffingson._. yeah, that's a common problem. I think when the ideas are smaller it's a bit easier to finish, or else we get bored or side tracked. You can try to set goals for the week on whatever you want to finish, maybe it'll help

@aeryma most of my ideas are pretty small, so i think "oh I should plan another one for after I finish this one since it's so small!" Then I go on that loop lol. I will try setting up weekly goals and just do one at a time =w=

@JeffJeffingson._. lol, well tbf some people do multitask since it can get repetitive staring at the same thing? I guess it can also be a matter of preference. E.g illustrators might need to step away and come back to see their painting with fresh eyes 🤔 🤷‍♀️ but good luck with it >->

@Firelava88. Completely understand your struggles lol. Its hard to balance multiple things. It might be easier to narrow it down (but it is hard to do) Though, you can try making really short form comics at first to trial it out, so you don't have to give up the other stuff

@JusVale Ahh, I didn't pickup on that. Sorry! Thanks for letting me know 🫠

@ its ok! video helped me some and i enjoyed the video eitherway (my left ear enjoyed it alot)

@kat04 thank you!

Yes! I get this too. Much less then before though. I think the positive of this is that.. we will still learn through that experience, whether its new ways of approaching writing, or something else. I hope you're able to find something sustainable for yourself. I feel blessed to have kept the momentum for so long with this rather ambitious project I was working on but... >_> For me, my struggle is the realisation that it will take me a quarter of my life to finish lmao.. alongside new ideas I guess. There is too many wants and not nearly enough time to pursue them all it seems

@@aeryma So true, Aeryma. It's all part of learning and isn't lost. I hope so too. A life long project is nothing to scuff at, haha. So happy to hear you are happily grinding your ambitious project. You are doing the hard yards. One day, you will realise you finished it and maybe be a bit sad it is over :).

I was about to write the same, Aeryma, a very important point.

In order to export your long pages into 3 800x1280px pages, you need to go into File -> Special Export -> Export Webtoon From here you have a bunch of settings to work with. Make your 'output size' become a width of 800px, and your 'file export settings' can divide vertically, so you should input 1280px to end up with 3 pages If you don't mind it being 1 long page, you can just Export (single layer) jpg or png, and 'Specify the output size' to 800x1280px Also you don't need to adjust the 300dpi, its fine as is Hope that helps! And thank you! c:

@@miraclesamuelonyinyechukwu7596 👍

@sketchreviews thank you!

Glad it helped! c:

@Samurai-ub6ew of course not! lol

@@aeryma thanks, wanted to be early

Great Guide.

@@Kuroi_10 Thank you, I hope it helped!

shoes- are.. to support your feet? :D

Thank you! I use a Huion Kamvas 22 Plus atm c:

@ookami5329 I'm so sorry! It's terrible when you had the expectation to post and it's too late- but ultimately- you made something! I think that notion is way more important And totally! Practical experience doing the thing is priceless, and I'm happy you managed to get back into art again despite the loss I hear you about the study until you get good thing- after years of doing that it becomes a bit tedious knowing you could have been working toward something in that time. I agree that working on both simultaneously is the best way to build up skill and exp I didn't realise how much a contest would help me either, but it really got me into the mentality to finally finish something longer form/work on a script etc. It's a good initiator lol Thank you for your comment, I think you touch on many things people tend to struggle with

@@aeryma no need to feel sorry, I’m actually really stoked to make comics again after I restarted. It was helpful that I actually managed to finish the first comic and send to another contest. I didn’t win, but I got some great feedback from professional editors which really motivated me to try again with my other two entries. I’ve got some commission work to finish and then I can get back to comic creation. Hopefully this encourages other people to not give up and keep drawing even when it’s hard to stay motivated

@joerister This could be wholesome if it was a children's book lol, but my guess is it's not >_>

@@aeryma It's a reference to a series "Raw Hero" by Akira Hiramoto, it's just a bit obscure and out there, sorry. In it when mangaka character presents her school romance manga to a publisher, she gets asked why it's called "Dear Daddy" when there's no such character. She answers "because it sounded cool". I guess there's a lesson to learn from this! maybe not... Oh, and it's indeed not wholesome, if "Prison School" rings any bells, same author.

@joerister hahaha, I see now- the wise lesson of naming things cause they're cool, just like designing characters with clothes that don't functionally make sense 🫠

@@DefinitlyOriginalNAME I'm glad you liked the video! Thank you ^-^

@KoalaOwlPaws You can do it! It seems like you're heading in the right direction, and the summary sounds intriguing. Good luck fleshing out your story ^-^

@@aeryma thank you!

@@Yellow_Plus_Red thank you for the support! ;u;

@darlalathan6143 it's interesting to think about the innocent times where we just drew for fun, before we started getting more deep into self doubt and fear. The beginning stages of learning something are usually always the most forgiving and carefree

@curious_mitch I hear you, having a variety of interests can feel suffocating sometimes. Working with a writer would be a good idea, and perhaps it can help you to build up to it yourself some day (if that's what you want). Good luck with whatever you choose to do 👍

@moritakaishida7963 If you listen to the whole video I don't imply that at all lol. I do allude to it at the start for emphasis on our art needing to be perfect, to go along with the whole game/gacha statement though- 'max stats/lvl capped/pay for win'. Mainly to say we're all human and to treat expectation realistically

You found me Sevoran! xD Yes, decision paralysis is intense and I wouldn't wish it on anyone. It's okay to take a break from something and explore your interests. I also burnt out on art, but I think the break helped me figure out my next steps. You got this! :3 (Also thank you lol)

@@aeryma Also, I loved your comic. "#1 business woman by 18" killed me. It's definitely something I would have binged for the rest of the night

@@Sevoran117 Haha, thank you for reading! I'm glad you enjoyed it xD

@Willyoart thank you! You're definitely right, the road to overcoming that mindset is tough, but we can do it! 💪

I hope it was useful! c:

Thank you!! I've literally been using the select tool for this, but ctrl+shift is so much easier! That said, things like shadows/etc can block a lot of the layers below, so I still recommend organising them hehe

@@aeryma Yes, organising still important. Fortunately CSP allows you to highlight layers and folders with colors. Also, about this "Select Layer" function I mentioned as a shortcut. It can be found inside the Operation tool as a sub-tool. There you can select to exclude draft, text, locked and fill layers. Thanks for your answer! I feel noticed haha

@@camiladaianajutco5035 Oh, you're right, I never looked into those setting and left it on 'object' by default xD That is helpful. Thanks so much!

@Samurai-ub6ew ;u; You flatter me lol

@@aeryma no u

@janniknielsen9292 yeah of course the views in the video can overflow into the story and many other aspects of creation. Its important to make the work our own, and not compare, but I do think becoming inspired by others can be a great motivator. For some it could be a hinderence. So I suppose it's based on personal judgement

@@woozwhee ;u; yeees

The first step is to realise. Second step is to implement your realisation. Third step is to realise your current creation will not be your first, nor the last. I'd say you know plenty, and you are in the process of bringing it all together, all the years of experimentation is coming to fruition and you are finding you and enjoy what you find. I am happy for you, Aeryma, and for sharing it with everyone else to they can learn and/or be aided.

@janniknielsen9292 thank you for the kind words 🙏

@gibbydass you're not alone, I was also super lazy with that lol. Also thank you for the kind words 🙏 Ohh, that particular brush I'm using is one of the brushes I shared in the video (link in description). For some reason it makes the area bigger- I have no idea why, I keep looking at the settings and trying to figure it out lol The downside is you can mistake the position of where you line, but I just love how the brush works so I keep using it But there is also a cursor setting in CSP preferences that you can tweak if you wish (though idk if I've really changed anything- mines set to 'brush shape' for brush/pen/eraser)

ohh i thought it'd be one of the brushes but after trying a single one (which happens to have a normal cursor lol) i stuck with it and kinda forgot about the rest... thank you sooo much haha

How do I make manga on procreate? Since there is no line cutter like ibispaintx

@@k.Miles789 Thank you!

@k.Miles789 ohhh, I don't have an ipad or procreate so I wouldn't know. I'd recommend looking for some creators that work on the ipad specifically. Sorry!

@@aeryma It's fine.

Ah, I honestly had no idea about this problem until your comment, hehe. I've yet to upload on Webtoon officially, but I did look into it. You need to go into your Webtoon dashboard, click 'edit' on your series and then fill out the categories under 'Content Rating Self Assessment'. I think once you do this, you should be fine. Webtoons seems to have just updated this to cater to different age groups 🤷‍♀

@@aeryma Sorry for the late reply and thank you so much, that means a lot:)

Happy to help! I think we put a lot of pressure on ourselves to make the first thing we create a masterpiece, and forget that the great Comic Artists of today all had to start from somewhere, and grind out stories until they hit a diamond. Give it a try, you never know where it could lead- Good luck!

@@aeryma Thank you ;; Im just mostly anxious but I know it'll be okay if I just take that leap of fath

Glad it helped c:

@@aeryma i just thought of this but do you know what would be a good pixel size for webtoon and for a physical copy? i heard that some people had to redo there pages for a physical and i want to avoid that. Any help is apreciated ❤

@amusingkiwi9586 I haven't looked into the physical copy side, but I guess it would depend on what size print you want. E.g. A4 is 2480 x 3508 pixels so I'd say around 3000ish+px is a good target to aim for width wise, and the length would I guess be the equivalent value- (so maybe 3200x4800 for 1 page? But you'd obviously need to modify the panels for the prints dimensions when you convert it over) And for print we'd need >300dpi Unfortunately I don't know much about it yet, but maybe some day I'll do more research! (Probably don't rely on my lack of knowledge lol) But I hope there's some information online somewhere about this 🙏

​@@aerymathx for the help!

@Samurai-ub6ew Thank you! Much appreciated. Good luck with your One-shot, it takes some planning but the experience you get is priceless. And sure, maybe I'll post more Manga on Pixiv some day lol

@@aeryma Sounds like a great plan to me!

Nice! I hope you had fun :3

Eventually I plan to post it on both Tapas and Webtoons :x

@@aeryma 👍👍👍

@mewic0 thank you so much! I'm happy it helped! 😊

@ArianaGrey-w9w yes that's a great tip! I did make some poor looking models for some of the major places, but nothing solid. I agree it's helpful and can probably save time long term, but it also takes effort for those less attuned to 3D xD hehe. I should heed the advice more tbh- so thanks for reminding me 😊 Also thank you very much!

Thanks so much! I'm glad you find it useful 😊

Nooo Dx I'm sorry you had to redo it Digital has its perks, but I think the experience and lessons you get from working in traditional are priceless. I wish I did it sometimes, but it definitely does take much longer One of my favourite mangakas still works traditionally. I honestly love the rawness of it. Digital is great, but you can tell it's digital sometimes hehe Goodluck! Your hard work will pay-off in the end c:
