for an aspiring webtoon comic creator such as myself, these videos have been more helpful than anything. thank you 🌟
I am glad they are helping. I am really trying to create videos that offer up more functional information.
Walter Ostlie well sir, it’s crystal clear that you produce and give out great content 👌🏽👌🏽
I know right
I just started making a Webtoon and what I’m doing is working directly on a really long canvas (800 x12800px) so that I can get pacing right and everything. I tried doing my drawings on the 800 x 1280 standard size but then when I started combining them together it just looked obvious I did it separately and it didn’t flow. Tysm for this series tho it’s been very helpful to me keep up the amazing work!
That's great, glad it helped. Good luck making your awesome comics! Let me know when you post your comic so I can check it out.
@@sab9714 it may be another setting when you're exporting, when i exported on medibang an option called 'Fits to the following size' was checked but when i unchecked it the image was no longer blurry
SiRen Watercolors no problem 💕
Omg i did the same thing
It really interesting what you mentioned, I tried that separate notion when I was doing a manga and I ended up doing whole lot of work because the flow was clearly Frankenstein. With manga you had to work with two pages in mind and do a lot of planning the flow of movement and how it wasn’t just reading right to left but all the drawings and actions flow right to left. It takes a lot of planning with manga and sure it same with webtoon flow
Thank you so much. This is my first time on web toon i'm very confused with the vertical format. Your video is very informative & helpful! TQ!
Webtoon can be really tricky the first time. I am still learning new stuff everyday and finding better ways to do stuff. Let me know if you figure out anything cool. Good luck!
Your videos are reallyyy helpful for the starters! Thank you so much for giving the basic information too!😌
Glad you are finding them helpful! I really want to provide useful information to actual make some stuff.
YOU ARE SUCH A LIFESAVER!! I couldn't understand how to do these steps in the process with CSP but watching you show us step by step literally gives me huge relief! Thanks🤧🙏
I have come back to this video SOOO MANY TIMES
That's awesome! Glad it's helpful.
All the things I need! This channel seems like it'll change my life
Perfect! next stop...the world!
@@walterostlie and u write back???? My new hero!! I'm enjoying the other contents btw! I'll be on your channel grinding
@@crossfoot4612 Thank you, you rock!
These vids are so unbelievably helpful! Thank you so much
Glad they are helping. Thanks for watching and commenting!
I’m writing a webtoon! I’ve followed your whole line of videos to get to where I am. Thank you so much.
Awesome! Congrats on starting writing. Very big step. Have fun!
It’s the most fun I’ve had in a long time. Cheers!
Had to come back here cuz I haven't made webcomics for a while and I somehow forgot things xD
I loved seeing this on webtoon, please add more to the series- also, I'd love to see you make a video for how to draw better... I can barely draw a sun 😂
I'll see what I can do.
how did he do the stacking. im so stuck.its like after I do my Finnished results how do I separate them and know which slide I'm n. Ya know?
Just create a new file that is really tall, pretty sure I show it in the video. Then go to each individual file, one at a time, and copy the entire image, hit ctrl-A (select all) and then select all the layers in clip studio, or do shift-ctrl-C in photoshop, or go to the edit menu and look for a copy/merged option in any other program. Then go back to the tall file and hit ctrl-v (paste). Do that for each file, it creates a new layer each time in your new tall file. just move it around to your liking.
@@walterostlie im also stuck. I can't find the video where you sliced up each column into its own file. When i select a column, and copy; i try pasting it in a new file tab (with webtoon layout). When I paste I don't see it anywhere, but I see a new letter layer in the Layers tab. 😿
This is the exact video that I needed!
Perfect! I live to serve!
Unordinary just stacks boxes (most of the time) and it's one of the best webcomics I've ever read
Yeah, excellent point. You don't have to have crazy fancy panels. No one is reading a comic cause it has odd shaped panels. They are reading it, continually reading it, because they want that story.
When we do comic chaos, i 100% think about the format of webtoons. long scrolling intros , cinematic panning shots in other areas, spacing for speech balloons, etc.
also, I SAW JAZZ CAT!!!! Man, I love how you updated him in the last CC. super skinny, alley cat kinda feel. definitely better than when i drew him kinda pudgy XD
Great vid as always Walt!
Thanks! I think I just really want to draw stick figures and not worry about anatomy and all that crap, so all my characters end up looking like scarecrows ;-)
What is the calculation of enlargement of page so you can draw 10 pages at the same time?
Each column is 900 pixels wide. So if you want 10 columns, it would have to be 9000 px wide
Hi, I have Clip Studio but I'm new on the digital drawing. Now I have this problem, I created a new project 900x4500 px with 300dpi and I used a normal brush with size 7, exactly how you did on the previous video, but the lines aren't the same. What I mean is my size 7 on that canvas it turns out big and I can see the pixel. I don't understand why I have this low resolution, if I draw a 45 degree line I literally have stairs! What I'm doing wrong?
p.s. thank you for your videos, they are really helpful, and English is not my first language, sorry for mistakes
There are a lot of things that can be causing that. Make sure you are one the inking tools. and then select something like real g pen. Also make sure the smoothing is on a little. It could be caused because the brush you are using is just naturally larger. 7px from one brush to the next may not be exactly the same. You could also have a "grid" on and your pen may be "snapping" to the grid lines.
@@walterostlie Thank you, It solved my problem
Hey, going through the series, it have been extremely helpful so far. But you lost me on one bit towards the end.
You said with the cropping website that it takes our width from 900 pixels to 800 pixels. Do we lose stuff on the sides, does it make the art more narrow? What happens to the lost hundred pixel width?
Thank you so much for all your vids - they helped us so much for our webtoon contest submission 'We Know What You Owe!' Got one more episode to go before the deadline though.... >
VERY helpful, Walter! Maybe you mentioned this in a previous video, but how does Webtoon position this on the user's screen? Is there white around the purple bkgd, or does it depend on the res of the reader's computer? On a very small monitor, or if a user increases magnification in his browser, might it be that the purple of your bkgd stretches all the way across the screen?
On the PC it is centered at 800px wide, with white on the side. Phones and tables it takes up the entire screen. You can read it in landscape or portrait, though it's meant for portrait.
I draw and make my comics on my iPad, on procreate. I am a bit lost on how to achieve this kind of format and all with it💧
Yeah, it may be a little weird with procreate. It's an awesome program drawing/painting, but some simple comic making procedural stuff is just trickier to do. I have procreate, but I haven't really tried to make a comic with it. Maybe I will give it a try and see if I can figure anything out.
I've started webtooning on my Ipad. Good luck to you!
If you want an art program that has tools such as cropping and image resize, I suggest downloading the ArtStudio Pro app.
Hello! I was wondering what resolution I should set it? I use 350 dpi but it ends up blurry when I slice the long canvas QwQ Thank you in advance!
Thank you for the video! I like it a lot and it's very helpful and clear.
I was wondering however, if 900px is the width of the original files you draw on, or do you shrink the clip file pages to 900px before creating the long vertical page and adding the pages there?
When I create the really long file so I can copy/paste the individual files into it, that file is still 900px wide. Just makes it faster then having to shrink everything down to the 800px that webtoon wants. When you upload your really long file to Croppy, it will magically make your files 800px wide for you.
@@walterostlie Thank you for the answer! I am used to drawing my webcomic on very large files, and was wondering how well this long vertical page and croppy will work with larger files. I am not exactly sure, what is recommended file size for webcomics, in the first place.
What size files are you working with? I'd suggest when you export your files to JPG or whatever you use for Croppy, that you save it as a smaller file, 800px wide. This will make the file smaller for Croppy, less time to upload and less time for Croppy to process the file. But leave your original large file untouched if you want that for printing.
@@walterostlie Until now I have worked with huge 4000 x 6400px (same proportions as 800x1280), thinking that the bigger, the better. Then for uploading to Webtoon, shrinked each page to Webtoon size, without flattening layers, only changing vector layers into rasterized, and then saving them as png or jpg.
When you move the folders around, does it lower the quality of the image? ie. make the lines less sharp? Because it does that for me (I use MediBang though) so does it not lower the sharpness in csp?
Not sure what you mean. but moving files on your computer/tablet storage shouldn't lower resolution. Moving layers in a program shouldn't lower resolution. Copying from one file to another shouldn't lower resolution. The only thing is if you are copying a small image into a larger image and then trying to upscale or increase the size of the small image to fit the larger image.
Hey Walter! This is seriously helpful, thank you. I do have what may be an silly question. If I'm writing a webtoon and working with an artist is the process of putting the panels together the same? I have the separate pages I just need to put them together, but since I didn't actually draw them does that change the process of putting them together at all?
I actually get super confusedworking on long canvas , I keep forgetting which lines were kpanels and which ones are space 😭😭
Doesn't your image get distorted by keeping changing dimentions? Or are they proportional?
Im so sry i think im confused...webtoon size is 800px wide right? May i knw why did u start off with 900px, sry if u ardy explained it...i dont really understand 😅
And i am always wondering, how much is too much panels? I hope i can ask someone about it...
What do you mean by too much panels? Too many panels in an episode? Or panels that are too large. There isn't really too many panels for an episode as long as the story is interesting. However, because of file size restrictions on Webtoon you can prolly only get like 100 panels in an episode. If you mean too big, try to stay around 500-1200 px tall. 500px will fit nicely on a desktop screen.
@@walterostlie ohh ok got it! I actually meant "too many panels"(grammar error ;-;) but both info u gave are reallyreally helpful, thank you so muchh! Im sry if i caused u trouble....i was hoping u would reply my 1st question too please(• ▽ •;)
@@xinlingphang8533 Webtoon is 800px. I did 900 because that is high enough resolution to print the panel at 3 inches in case you want to make a physical copy. I export it to 800 before uploading later.
@@walterostlie ah i see, thanks for replying✨✨ure a legend!
Really do appreciate all ur hard work for all the helpful videos Ure so kindd :D have a GREAT DAY~
How would I know if the story and characters are interesting enough? I feel like I've got the hang of it but my brain keeps adding stuff up, thinking "what if it's not good enough?"
There is a trap of overthinking. If you let something sit long enough, you'll always come up with other ideas or questions the ideas you already had. Nothing will ever be perfect, it will only be different. Set a schedule for yourself. By September 1st, your script will be done. November 1st, you will upload your first webtoon episode. Etc and with whatever dates and timelines make sense for you. You shouldn't be aiming for "the best it can be", you have to aim for "the best it can be right now". Otherwise you will never move forward. you can also get an editor, but even then this still applies. Good luck.
@@walterostlie I get it, thank you very much! 😊
wow Im super late to this video but this was extremely useful!
Happy it helped, thanks for watching.
Would it be too visually busy to do a hybrid comic? In other words, instead of having one panel on screen, have two side by side, so that the reader still goes left to right before scrolling down. I want to make comics readable online, but I personally find the constant scrolling of webtoons to be annoying... yet I know that's the way comics are going in the future. I've already tried tripling the canvas width, drawing in high def, font at size 45, then shrinking the finished image to 800px wide (for Webtoon) and it isn't difficult to read on my small smartphone, but I also worry I could lose detail.
I like this idea. Did you try it?
Could you make a webtoon on ibis paint x?
Some people have asked about Ibis, I'll add it to the list. Thanks!
I think yes, I have it and if I could draw... The answer would be yes, yes you can
all that work to get it split up by another website?
Yay! Another video~
Thanks for hanging out again!
Hey, great video. You are a real help for every aspiring webtoon creator. I just have a quick question, do this tricks also work on Megabang or Sketchbook desktop?
Yeah, there shouldn't be too much that is clip specific. Pretty sure all the tools I used are available in Medibang. Sketchbook I'm not so sure. I feel like that is more for sketching and concepting.
I don't have the knowledge lol. I started my first comic in August for practice before doing my first real one.
Doing practice comics is really the best way to learn comics. Let me know when you start posting some.
I did like 50 800x 500 panels at first but it didn't work for the vertical format so i just did a huge 800x 30k pixel version lol that allowed me to get those sweeping backgrounds i wanted with smaller panels. But this helps a lot
What if you have even more files, would you just create another big file and then combine the two big files for WEBTOON ?
Not sure what you mean, but you can work in a bunch of files and then upload all of them to webtoon, as long as it is under their 20mb/100 file limit.
Thank you!
Is it necesary for a webtoon to be in color? Can't it be done in black-n-white and/or gray scales?
It doesn't have to be in color. Most are, but I've seen some successful B/W, grey, or monotone comics.
@@walterostlie oh good. Thank you. Because I always have problems with colors and shadings. But doing gray scales and b/w has been more of my forte. But I never got encouraged to make webtoons since many told me that it had to be in color.
Thank you very much.

Good tips. Thanks for the video!
you need to buy it though......... man lifes hard........any apps similar?? im under 18 so thats why
Same

On the STAKING question you

Aesthetic appeal or Lazyness?
Both reasons are valid,
The first reason more debate
able .
Look at a cinematic boarded
image that you have or have
drawn and ask yourself
"What do I like about this picture?"
Try it with several pictures to
Expand the Experience.
I say PICTURE not IMAGE.
image can sound fractional.
Like a Piece of a Picture.
A Fragment.
True, in Non stacking;
Negative/empty Space is a
boarder of sorts &
Wide Arrangement can

Up and Down;
Work to make image pieces
Contain the requirement
Of a Full Field of vision.
A work of art can extend past one's field of vision(with out scrolling or turning your self around etc.).
I include stacking personally,
When I draw comic books.
Most of my favorite pages are
3 box
Stacked on an 11 x 17 page.
Thank you for quality tutorials on clip
- Dennis
That was deep. Poetic even. Thank you.
Do you have to lay it out like that
Nah, you don't have to, it's just the better layout for the webtoon platform.
please make a photoshop tutorial too
Thanks a lot man. 👍🏻✊🏻✊🏻🔥
Um i may be at to ask this, but I draw in a longer panel with less wide like you you do, but i do it on ibis x paint. The problem occurs when I try to crop and merge them later when I'm uploading them to WEBTOON, the quality just appears so low! Please help :(
What resolution is the canvas/image when you are drawing it in Ibis?
Its 244×1200
I noticed clip already has a long virtual webtoon preset is that not a good size?
You don't want to use that one, looks like it's 690px wide by 20,000 px tall. It's not wide enough, it needs to be at least 800x wide. However, even if it was, that would still be a really tall and skinny canvas. Personally I don't like working that way, but give it a try and see what you think.
So working right at 800px - 900px width is okay? I was thinking that some who might want to print will make their file size larger but then that might lag Clip Studio. What do you think?
800px wide or more will work perfect as far as webtoon is concerned. You may want to work on a larger canvas because some artists find it easier to add details on a larger canvas. The other reason to work on a larger canvas is for printing. The size of the canvas is going to depend on how large you want to print each panel. 900px is 3 inches wide at 300dpi. A US comic page is 6.625 inches wide. So a panel would take up almost half a page if you work at 900dpi. If you want your panels to take up the entire width of a printed page, then you need to work at 2000 px to get that 6.625 printed width. I am currently working at 1900px wide.
@@walterostlie Thank you so much!!!!!!!!
If you don't have clip studio or Photoshop, you need to save a file as a JPEG before using croppy right? Per webtoons restrictions.
Croppy accepts a few file types. Tiff, png, psd, jpg. When croppy exports, it exports jpg regardless what you uploaded.
@@walterostlie very cool. Thank you!
How long does it take to make one vertical scrolling chapter if you're working by yourself?
I mean, I see so many webtoon originals uploading a new comic every week and I'm wondering how they do that ( I don't think all of them have a team).
It depends. Art style, number of panels, techniques. Creators who are smart about reference, perspective tools, and 3d models can draw episodes much faster. A lot may be working on their comic full-time. I work full time and do about 40-50 panels a week, which is an episode for me. I could maybe do more, but than I'd have zero free time. I don't use perspective tools, but I do have a few 3d models and try to take reference photos when I'm not feeling lazy. The more comics you make, the more streamlined your creation process gets, and you start making comics faster. When I first started it would take me a few days to do 5 panels, now I do 10 panels in a single day. Some people can prolly do even more than that.
@@walterostlie what kind of 3d models do you use? And how do you divide up your time to have enough time to work on your comic and your personal life? Like, do decide you are only going to do this number of panels a day?
@@RoseyRose20I have a 3d model of the inside/outside of a spaceship in my comic that I commissioned a 3d artist to make for me. Yes, I schedule my life out a lot. I did a schedule video where I explain it ruclips.net/video/H4iy9ej-fuI/видео.html
You just blew my mind with that croppy site!
Croppy is the bomb. That guy deserves an award. He does have a donate thing on his website though....
I'm using Medibang Paint which has features that help you organize pages in order, so I am not doing the long panel thumbnail thing unless I want a special panel. I was wondering, is that why people make their chapters one extremely long panel like this, because it's easier to separate the panel by pages afterward, as opposed to making a different art file per page from the start and maybe making mistakes? I am just interested in what other benefits there could possibly be.
The reason I do it like I did in this video is so I can easily see all the panels together and make sure there is a good variation of panel types and that my storytelling is clear and engaging without having to open more than one file. it also let's me do color across the entire episode/file at once. So If I want to change someone's shirt color or make it night time instead of day time, I can quickly change it for all panels with a few clicks. Changing fonts or other technical stuff could potentially be faster. I haven't messed around with Medibang organization stuff, but I want to check it out now. I love organization.
@@walterostlie True, that does sound convenient. Although I like my way as well. And yeah, you should check it out. Go to the comic header in your Medibang program and you'll be able to navigate your way from there.
Hi there, i’m trying to make a comic that’s 1600 x 35,000 what since I’m using Clip Studio pro it maxes out the canvas at 20,000. Is there a way to get around this? Or am I supposed to make separate files and immerse them all together at the end? I haven’t tried canvases this big before and I’m not sure what to do :o
Pro limits at 20,000? Ex limits at 50,000. I would have thought they'd be the same. Have you upgraded to the most recent available version? Either way, it doesn't matter. You can still o this same process with 20,000. You'll just have shorter files and you'll need two of them (or more). The next step of this series is to splice your webtoon file into 800px x 1200px anyways, so you'd just have to do that process twice for your two 1600x20000 files, instead of once. Also Webtoon splices files for you now, so you don't really have to worry about it. I did a new video that shows how to use the new webtoon features with clipstudio that makes things a lot easier. I'm not sure if pro has all the features, but I think it has some. You should check it out. ruclips.net/video/6vheFi1EGS8/видео.html
@@walterostlie thanks so much for the info! I ended up making two separate files and Webtoon formatted them automatically when uploading. Thanks so much! 🫶🏼💓
Can we use a manga format for webtoon
Are you talking printed page format? Yes, you can, but it's just not as exciting to read on the webtoon platform. Scrolling on webtoon is fun. Also it's harder to read because people are reading on their phones a lot.
hey does it matter which country u are from to publish webtoon
Not really. you just need paypal or patreon to get paid.
im a beginner in digital art im using medibang and i still dont get it 🥺😭
It takes some getting used to. What's the first part you're getting stuck on?
I'm using medibang too, kinda confused and debating on getting clip studio
@@walterostlie actually i got it already, i had to watch this several tines to understand i even got to publish my webtoon thank you for reaching out to me tho✨✨😅😁
how to do this on medibang ? anyone plz
It will be very similar on medibang. Look at the words I say and click on. Medibang will have a very similar setup.
@@walterostlie thank you sir i will follow your lead . oh and by the way your videos are very helpful and amazingly understanding and I really like it now . thanks for the knowledge sir .
I made the mistake of manga-fying my webtoons ep. I need to go back and stack them.
Oh yeah. My first comics were all traditional print comics, so I had to spend a good amount of time converting them to webtoon. Hopefully you don't have too many pages, good luck.
This is actually remarkably similar to my Procreate process. My 'chunks' are a bit squatter, to accommodate the Procreate layer limit, but I have a similar process of pulling those flattened chunks into a longer format in order to blend the seams and add transitional detail where necessary. It's a bit more tedious due to Procreate's limitations, but it works.
I've been wondering how making a webtoon would work with procreate. I've only used it a little bit and it just seems like it would be a lot of work-arounds. I've been meaning to try it, but just haven't had the time. How do you do lettering? Port it to another program?
@@walterostlie Procreate 5 introduced a pretty good font tool, so I do all my lettering in the app! The only thing I really wish it had for lettering is layer borders, but I just go without outlines on my dialogue bubbles. I'll pop on a pale drop shadow if they're against a white background.
I can relate regarding time! I'm so used to Procreate, and so dependent on and fond of all my custom brushes, that moving programs would be a massive commitment as I rebuild my library of tools. Not to mention, learning the program. Eventually I may have to, since the ergonomics of using an iPad for illustration 8 hours a day are... not ideal. But right now, I just don't have time to test it out!
@@kaydreamer oh yeah, ergonomics, I forgot about that. I want on a trip a few years back and brought my ipad to draw. Just a few hours a day and my neck was cramping up. I ended up getting some boxes to stand my ipad higher and prop it at an angle.
Wait so is WEBTOON an actual comic maker or just somewhere to post comics
Both. You can post your comic for free to webtoon.com on their canvas platform. But webtoon the company also publishes original content as well. Meaning they pay creators to create stuff if you're one of the comics they publish.
@@walterostlie that so cool! Do you have a video on how to post comics there? Should I start on this app or ifunny
You can post at both if you want. video about uploading ruclips.net/video/nWsJrox5aQw/видео.html
