Drawing Backgrounds for Characters: Perspective for your Webtoon

[@willexcel]

Correction: Eyelevel is ONLY your horizon line IF the camera is parallel to the ground. If you (aka the camera) are looking at an angle (from above, for example) the horizon line maybe out of view.

[@walterostlie]

Thanks! That always messes me up.

[@jesstellstales2113]

I feel like I could watch a whole video on just line thickness. I'm forever winging it. This is all so helpful! Thank for the tips!

[@sashimisushii637]

DUDE! THIS IS SO F--- HELPFUL!!!! I WAS SO LOST WITH THE GRID PART BACK THEN

[@cosmodious1755]

Oh damn, the tip of making a box for the character to stand on feels like a gamechanger for me! Thanks so much!

[@walterostlie]

Hope it comes in handy!

[@nouzmb]

I love lying on the ground view 😍 it makes my characters look superior

[@walterostlie]

Yeah, it's my favorite angle also.

[@bedivere20]

yo, the concept of a butt box literally just changed my life. so much so that I gasped outloud. sometimes things just click. thank you!!!

[@nicogotchi]

Needed this confirm that using my intuition is really vital, and my stuff turning out way better when Im not a tryhard and overthink it!!! Thank you!!!!!

[@shaquezr.9541]

Here’s a tip for webcomics, if you don’t got an spen draw it on paper and trace by taking picture uploading it on your art app add a new layer turn opacity down then draw over the lines, I used it once and it turned out nice, use thin lines btw it helps

[@walterostlie]

Yep, that's a good way to do things, especially with deadlines. Getting 3d models and all that stuff is super smart.

Little boxes on the hillside Little boxes made of ticky-tacky Little boxes on the hillside Little boxes all the same Look, I had a lot of random quote running through my head while watching this video. :P Great work, Walter!

[@walterostlie]

Hah, I've never heard this song. It's my new jam though. "They were all put into boxes and all came out the same." awesome.

[@emmypax5084]

@@walterostlie It's a classic!

[@RWAsur]

Omg drawing more boxes... That's brilliant, tysm!

[@luarya]

I just tried to follow these tips and woww!! It works so well! I can't believe I never thought about it before. Thank you for always sharing useful tips with us!

[@walterostlie]

Glad it helped! Thanks for letting me know!

[@emmypax5084]

Then I'll put that flea in a box. THEN I'll put that box inside of ANOTHER BOX and when it arrives I'LL SMASH IT WITH A HAMMER!!!!! Ahem. I have learned much about boxes today.

[@walterostlie]

This is a great movie. One of the best.

[@fioreearva6095]

thank you sir for solving my problem after searching for years i finally have my answer THank you sir God bless you

[@walterostlie]

Happy it helped!

[@chariots8x230]

Thank you Walter! I really appreciated your tips on how to adjust the color & lineart 7:15 I’m glad you covered the topic of how to make characters & their background go together, because I haven’t been able to find many videos on this topic. Everyone talks about perspective when they talk about backgrounds, but they rarely say anything about color, lineart, and lighting. No one seems to like talking about how to make a character fit in their background, so that the character will look like they’re actually in that environment instead of being somewhere else.

[@mangalisomdingi9733]

Subscribed. Never thought of the perspective box above a character for a low angle shot

[@walterostlie]

Thanks for subscribing! It's one of those things you come up with when you've been banging your head on the table for hours.

[@amaliereign7673]

Thank you Soooo much for this!!! I'm learning how to draw, have done a couple perspectives and some basic characters, but have never done them in the same drawing. This video was very informative even if this is mostly focused on Graphic Design it still taught me what I needed to know to create my hand drawings.

[@mochatabbing4723]

Hi thank you so much for this simple tutorial, I really have a hard time to learn perspective and vanishing point, but after watch this video I get to draw and learn them a lot easier, fellow artist peace!

[@walterostlie]

Happy it's helping!

[@QNiki]

I always harp every a hard time with colors and forget that I can just add a low opacity layer on top oops

[@cascadiastudio5182]

the morty mouth returns! thanks for the informative video! I'll be sharing with my fellow comic makers! :) Keep up the great work!

[@walterostlie]

morty mouth is life.

[@Possumbreath]

Hell yeah this is a great way to think about it! It's all boxes all the way down

[@walterostlie]

Boxes = Life

[@pinkitypie4598]

[@kasiatokomi9116]

A very helpful tutorial, thank you!

[@jacksonaguilar1998]

Very valuable video bro! Thank you for putting this out for us to learn! So straightforward and informative. :)

[@fishintheocean-i4g]

I have particular trouble drawing from imagination and drawing car interiors, if you could help out with that it would be great

[@aeestha]

Thanks a lot Walter!! The box trick is so cool i didn't know about it. Def will use it in my future projects. My current project doesnot need all this cus all the background is a solid white lolol big brain move

[@walterostlie]

Hah, nice! That's smart.

[@AgentEmbey]

We all need a library full of Walters.

[@walterostlie]

Now that would be a really weird library...

[@sejalb725]

THANK YOU❤

[@annapeskova6133]

Thank you, simple and helpful👍

[@walterostlie]

Thanks!

[@Rraeshaa]

THANK YOU SO MUCH FOR THIS💕💕💕💕

[@walterostlie]

Thanks for watching!

[@yellowmoondy5293]

Good job

[@mysteriouswolven]

Can you cover what formats would be beneficial for both webcomic and printed comicbook formats? So someone making a webtcomic with intent to eventually print one day won't have to do a lot of editing when that time comes?

[@walterostlie]

Yeah, I've been meaning to do a video like that.

[@lanceedem6204]

May i ask how to create webtoon using ibis paint x

[@sestoexp5100]

u can but i recommend not to

[@ania.mp4]

This helped a ton! Do the same rules apply to 3D backgrounds?? Sometimes I notice backrounds and characters really stand apart from each other because one is cleary 3D while the other is clearly 2D. Do you have any tips on this?? Again, thanks for the video!! It was awesome!

[@walterostlie]

usually this is because the 3d model has a lot more detail and very rigid lines. You can free hand trace the background and only include enough detail to match the art. The line weight and color will also have a big impact on much the elements blend like I talk about at the end of this video.

[@isaiasxd4453]

nice vid 👾

[@kriscabell7428]

I have a question if i get featured in webtoon, do i have to publish the same series i got featured for?

[@walterostlie]

No. Sometimes they'll ask you to pitch them a new series.
