    Nina!! I love your content, it's my favorite blend of lifestyle and art!! You brought up so many great points, thank you for all your hard work and transparency!!
    I completely understand the struggles with physical injury and hand/arm problems. I wanted you to know that all of us want you to be healthy and do what you love for as long as possible. I came across your channel when you started sharing all your wonderful processes with webtoon making. It is so incredible that you were working on it for 10 hours a day!!! That is such an intensive process, but you put so much love into it on TOP of making content for us!! Like girl, you have FED us! I can't speak for everyone, but at least for me, having your content on while doing very sedentary work (as you've mentioned) made things a little bit less lonely. Being an artist in our current landscape is so uniquely challenging, and I have so much respect for you. That being said, I'm very glad you are feeling better! Please continue to take lots of breaks between your works! I remember drawing on display tablets, and that stress on the wrist/arm is no joke.
    P.S. I love your nails!! The clacking sounds they made were so nice hehe

    I also have cubital canal syndrome and I felt the worst with pain and with almost no arm strength a few months before THE medical exam that you do to become a doctor in Portugal. It was horrible physically but even worse mentally, thinking of everything I would have to give up if it didnt got better… but I did! My grade wasnt the best but I got throught it. Every now and then it comes Back but now I know what to do. I hope everything works out for you too and to find what works best for you in terms of how you work and the hours you work. Nothing is more important than being healthy, I see it every day .. All the love!

    Some years ago I burned myself out on insta as an artist because of hustle culture. It was all about quantity and productivity in order to stay relevant. I realised that art turned into content and I stopped drawing for a year altogether... slowly I am returning to draw just as a hobby. It feels much better now, having left the art ratrace. However, no money like this anymore.

    Im honestly okay with waiting for an episode for the webtoon. Even with videos. As an artist, I understand the pain in the arms and pains that come with being an artist. Currently have pain in my left wrist (im dealing with it. Yes ive gone to the doctors. They didn't help)
    You're one of my favorite creators, and you're one of my role models when it came to art as well. I'd rather have you not post for a year if it meant that you can be healthy and safe. Im always praying for you, Miss Nina. Much love from me, Miss Nina.
    Besides as I wait for you to feel better or when you do post, I can reread your comic over and over (I love it) and i can watch your videos over and over (I also love it)
    Be safe and be careful. Ima go finish the video now.

    I haven't posted on my channel for a year, I keep trying to come back but I am not in a place to do so because of how China is hurting LGBT people atm, I've been waiting for a better time to come back and explain things in China and in my life. I am facing depression issues so I understand when health issues come in you really have to stop what you are doing and take good care of yourself, no need to self blame or think you're not good enough, you can only do so much in life, we are not robots at the end. Rest well and it's always good to see you posting :)

And Im glad youre continuing your webtoon regardless and following your passion for your story, I wish you the best of luck Nina!

    This is just the advice I needed to hear. All the doubts I ever thought about, that made me hesitant to start my webtoon, you explained the cons perfectly well. It's very unfortunate that there isn't a platform for passionate artists to be fairly compensated for the time they put into their work. I'm sorry it compromised your health as well as drained your energy, but I'm happy you found an outlet that works best for you, and I pray for your well being in all aspects of your life, especially financially. Thank you for sharing your experience and much love and well wishes for you, Nina :)

    Hi Nina, don't know if you'll ever see this but your youtube inspired me to continue my webtoon or even create a new version of it (since my art style changed). Just like you, I had to deal with numbness in my arm when I was in college way back 2018 and I had to stop publishing since then. It was hard letting go something that you love and I begin to question my decision. I love creating art and when I saw the process in making a webtoon through your youtube I began to remember the times when I created one too - It was exhausting but rewarding when readers get to enjoy what you love as well.
    So, it's okay if you needed to take some rest may it be a few months or a year. In time we know that you'll continue your art when you're in good health, take care always Nina!

    As someone who does sedentary office computer work and has had injuries similar to yours, the most helpful actions I took were going to a chiropractor/ physical therapist at least every 3-4 months, getting a more ergonomic desk and chair, and doing stretching exercises such as yoga. I had a lot of back problems from sitting in my desk hunched over for hours. I am now mindful to take breaks every 35 - 45 minutes because we humans were not meant to sit around hunched for hours 😅

    I can definitely relate. I started my webcomic when I was unemployed and just haven't been able to get back to working on it. It was only about 35 pages worth, but it still took me weeks to complete 😅But I always told myself it was a project I would only work on if/when it was fun, so I know that I'll return to it when the time's right.
    I'm glad to hear that you've found the time and energy to resume yours!

    Hey precious soul.
    First of all the webtoon you are calling a silly little webtoon... its is not silly AT ALLL... you are one of the webtoon artists/ writers who have such depth in their story and have touched emotions and feelings with great detail!!
    So for me its not silly at all. Thou now I dont have the app for personal reasons but I do miss your webtoon, i still miss the cutest fluffiest vibe of the whole story whenever I used to read it.
    I still remember that umberalla scene, i still remember that auditorium scene, i still remember the whole anxiety chapter or convo.. that whole train scene of the main lead and his sis.
    And the beautiful contrast of introversion type the main leads are ( I am not good with remembering names so I 'll be saying main leads😂 the only names that are in my mind are heji and yeohan😂 the supporting cast✨️) well I still remember how I used to love what the male lead is outwardly, she is inwardly and what she is outwardly, he is inwardly.
    And how both have diff perception about each other but they slowly get to know about it and forming of the bond.
    So definitely, PLEASEEEEE CONTINUEEEE THE WEBTOON!!!! TO LOVE AND BE LOVED AND NINA as an artist DESERVE TO SURVIVE for the longestt of time❤❤❤❤
    I hope you get better alternatives or safe opportunities to publish your story as an independent webtoon designer( if theres a thing like that)
    I hope whatever alternative you find can be beneficial for you in every aspect.
    Also, please take care brave humann. You have alreay passed the most significant and brave phases like choosing to do what you like, facing obstacles while doing it, decline in health, questioning the decision, and self doubts etc.
    But just know, even if someday it feels like your passion is not letting you earn good. Then do not ever question your decisions, because whatever happens, happens for a reason. YOUR STORY MAKES PEOPLE FEEL SEEEEN!!! Thats more bigger of an impact if you think about it.
    Plus take your passion project as your constant buddy, even if you had to juggle with other things to earn, its something you can always lean on to to feel yourself in flow✨️
    Never ever quit drawing. You are amazinggggg.
    Thank you for reading my big sis vibe speech. I hope you do read it and find some strength and hope.

    as an artist who has reoccurring carpal tunnel syndrome, i feel you! please take care of your body! just know most webtoon artists, especially professional under contract, create episodes far in advance and most likely have a team to produce it. if you're working alone and only take it as a hobby, please don't worry about upload speed and prioritize your health first and foremost. as your fan, i really don't care if you haven't updated in years if that meant you were prioritizing your health. keep it easy while it's still fun and where drawing won't feel like a job instead of a hobby. this will also help with burnout. all love to you, nina

    Nina, thank you so much for sharing this. It touched me so much so I ended up bursting in tears 😭😭
    I was a Thai Webtoon creator without contact just like you. Drawing and comic has been the biggest part of my life but I cannot continue doing them anymore because of the unfair industry system. (Even if you’re a contracted creator here, the company will pay only $140 per week with a little incentive)
    It’s hard to say but right now I’m admit that I give up 🥹 This industry has been playing with our dream and hope in order to make a profit from us, the creator, which is clearly unfair.
    Anyway, Thank you for say it out loud and share what have you go through with us. It’s means a lot to me and i hope one day (when this world is the better place for artists) I’ll be ale to chasing for my dream again. :)

I have a full time job, dog, and I can only release episodes every-other week. I would love to make long eps or release more frequently, but just can’t happen. I hope in the future to release my WEBTOON in physical form. So if someone wants to read all in full at once, they’ll have the chance 😂 best of luck to you! Love your videos! ❤

    Hi! new sub here! I loved watching this video. I do understand the struggle of all artists, especially the ones who create webtoons. I love reading them, so I try my best to purchase the official webtoons and buy their merchandise as much as possible. It takes a lot of effort to create, and artists deserve all the money and support for what they create. I'm also an artist, but I only draw as an outlet for my creative ideas and as a hobby. The key to avoiding burnout in the art industry is just taking your time and always going back to the reason why you love drawing in the first place. I'm glad your arm is getting better now. I'm also a physical therapist, and we treat patients with cubital tunnel syndrome, so you could have a checkup if the symptoms come back. :)

    The internal conflict between being an ARTIST vs CONTENT CREATOR is so real! 😫 It’s fun to CREATE in general but by the end of the day you will burn yourself out trying to be 100% both, gotta prioritize the one you really want to be known for the most. A healthy balance and self-awareness of your wants & needs in the creative industry is necessary

    Hey nina! love your videos as usual, just wanted to drop in quick and also add, as a contracted WEBTOON originals creator i also wouldn't recommend just to anyone getting into this field, especially if its "just for the money" like you mentioned. You brought up a lot of good points about multiple sources of income (merch/patreon/etc) as a canvas creator and unfortunately a lot of Originals creators also have to do this in order to make a living (depending on how costly their living expenses are, or unless you're one of the top earners of webtoon which is getting increasingly difficult to reach nowadays with the way they lack the marketing on many of their series). I'm so so impressed and proud of you how you've managed both your webtoon and content creation/your channel at the same time, I am not surprised that you basically went through burnout that lots of creators in this field experience, but its still unfortunate you had to struggle through this in the first place. A break is SO important in order to maintain the love and passion for your series, which is ultimately the most important thing. Im glad you made this video for any aspiring webtoon artists! Good luck nina and always looking forward to your videos~

    Hi, thank you for sharing. Do not give up on webtoons if you love doing them. Even if it doesn't make you that much money, if you have been given a gift, creating is what you were born to do. As a pursuing author, I find my hands to hurt frequently. I recently purchased some compression / support gloves from Amazon, and the pain in my hands seem to have disappeared. I use them whenever I write and are really therapeutic.

    This was me with youtube. My channel has never been good at growing and thus I've been making videos consistently for about four years now. Working full time on a "real" job and then having to run another job of posting quality videos each week AND streaming while not getting a single penny from it (I've earned something from streaming but that's akin to the creator program that you had on webtoon and that's not even every month for me). I was putting so much energy into a hobby that couldn't sustain it made me miserable and was also affecting my health, both physical and mental. I had to take a step back as well and took two months off to think what I really wanted. So similar to you, I chose to keep my content as a passion project but with no future in mind. Obviously if i ever achieve something that's great. But i'm not hoping or counting on it. I only make videos when i actually have time and energy, same with streaming. I'm no longer sacrificing my health and life for something that isn't paying off. It's an outlet for my creativity, not a nine to five.

    Yea I also overworked my right arm because I played a lot of sport that required me to use it a lot ( tennis, flag football, softball, etc.) and somehow my arm along with a portion of my torso became kind of paralyzed and numb to where I could not move it without like struggling for a while, so I’m glad that you at least knew when to stop unlike my dumbass 😅

      hi! as someone who is working in the webtoon industry for some time, it does get a little overwhelming but your health should be your no. 1 priority! Keeping webtoon as a hobby is also totally okay, there's no right way around this, everyone's just doing their thing and sometimes it comes with a few bumps ^^ (also haven't finished the vid yet haha)

    Drawing your webtoon in shorter sessions might help, as for sitting while you are making it, set a timer to go for a walk, think about what your drawing, relax in that.
    The solitary nature of drawing, feeling alone, i think it would help maybe talking to people in your space reach out to them, to discuss things make friends who have interest and experience in this also.
    As for monetary return for it, it would be a good to move to create a graphic novel of it, do some crowd funding with added merch would help in the reward of that, with the added benefit of compiling your episodes in to something people can have in their hands.
    I'm sure you'll be fine, you've been successful in RUclips and webtoon is something you find even greater success as well. Be proud of yourself.

    Once you have finished To love and be loved perhaps turn it into comic. Eventually, have opportunity to self publish. (Idea from another creator)
    Hope this helps and happy to see you are taking of yourself:)

    About your arm, I don't know whether my father's experience might be helpful for you or not, but he once got into a motorcycle accident where he slammed his body on a hard road surface (asphalt). He couldn't move his right arm for a few months. When he recovered a bit, he started going to the gym and slowly trained his right arm (monitored by a certified trainer). Little by little, his wounded arm got stronger and if you see him now, it's like he never got injured anywhere.
    It might sound counterproductive to put pressure on your body, but in practice, your body miraculously has more tolerance for strenuous activities you might do in the future. I am also a digital artist, so I've experienced times when I felt like my wrist would give up functioning. That's why, after seeing the effect of what going to the gym had done to my father, I recently added it to my schedule. So far, I feel like it increases my body endurance, and I don't get tired or pained as easily as before. You might want to try it 😄
    Even so, you still need to take a break when your body demands it. I'm glad you have a work-life balance now!
