    so I just decided to keep to a monthly or every other month with about 10 is pages at a time. The story doesn't work with just one page updates and I have a lot to do. So I'll be patient and know that building my audience will take time.
    I just found your channel about a week ago. Great stuff in the archive.

      We do something similar. We give a monthly issue to our patrons, and then everyone else gets a drip fed version that is complied at the end (you can check our tapas to see what that looks like. We get some people that wait for the full post but a lot of people follow page by page.
      But it's up to you. :) both have their advantages and disadvantages.

    And also, I have been binge watching videos lately and they're really awesome! Really helped. Also, I'm thinking of starting a web comic with another artist, and I wonder if there is an easy way to send the comic back and forth while keeping the layers intact so we can change and add things in the comic between us if we need it. I don't have photoshop, but I do have krita so if there's some advice you can give on this it's really appreciated :D

I've been wanting to make my own webcomic, but have been self-conscious on whether my art was good enough to go ahead. But now I've been finalizing the characters, doing a lot of writing, re-writing, and not so worried about making mistakes. It won't be perfect, but that's okay, it just needs to get started! This really helped my a lot, thanks again!

    How old should you be to start a webcomic, I MUST KNOW!!! (btw i know that in webtoons terms of service it says 13 but i want an actual opinion like whether a comic made by a 13 year old can actually be good or not)

    • @jazz9260
      @jazz9260 4 года назад +3

      Of course you can make a comic at 13! You will improve your art as your comic progresses even if you don’t believe you’re great at first. I also think spreading your work across multiple sites would help, but you can definitely start, now. It’s much better to make a name for yourself and get people invested in your work while you’re still so young! Do it, and don’t ever stop drawing! 😁

    • @EJinSkyrim
      @EJinSkyrim 3 года назад

      I wrote my first novel at 18 - my advice would be YES DO IT. You may look back and cringe at it several years down the road after your taste and story telling ability have evolved (or you might not - sometimes old art holds up surprisingly well) but taking that first step and proving to yourself that you *can* do something is SO important. And!! You can go back and re-work it down the line if you still really love it but feel like it could use an update. Totally agree with Jazz on this.

Idk why I wanted to make one I just did. And DAMN IS MY ART BETTER. At first It was so stupid looking and stuff but it looked better later. Also my free time is gone unless I watch anime in the background while I draw my webtoon I love my characters I’m happy.

    I started my first comic at first when I started though my art was way worse then it is today. I notice I had more engagement vs now idk if it's something wrong with the way I'm telling my story or that Im just not as visable as I use to be 😕. I'm posting on webtoons so I usually give more than 2 pages I do a decent length strip maybe about 30 pages when cut up & I post about twice a month. But lately I'm feeling like it'd be better to do shorter strips for quicker updates but Idk how the audience I already have would react. I just feel seriously unmotivated the decline in engagement is getting to me 😩
