How I Make a Webtoon Using Procreate

Oh the irony that I finally got around to making this video and no longer primarily use Procreate for making a Webtoon... but if Procreate is all you have (it's all I had for the longest time!) then I wanted to show you that it's still possible!

For those who need it! The sketch size for panels in this video is 7200x6000 - divided into 5 columns that are 800 pixels wide (8 boxes wide with drawing guide on). This will make you about 49 panels. Actual drawing size - 1600x12000 This is doubled to leave breathing room for mistakes.

This is the only tutorial I’ve ever come across with clear instructions. From explaining each dimension to explaining how you fill in flat colors is all I’ve ever wanted. I actually feel like I can start a comic now I’m really excited!

If you want the bubbles in Procreate to be perfect circles, hold down once you have drawn the circle! Gives me perfect bubbles for dialogue :)

This was SO helpful!! I’m making a comic for my favorite dnd character’s background- but I’ve been having so much trouble figuring out how to piece it all together. For the first chapter- the one I’m currently working on- I don’t really use panels- it all sort of flows together. Your idea of making that big starting canvas is such a smart way of doing it!!

[@yulso5816]

Thank you so much, 3 years after you posted this video, it really helped me because I'm an illustrator on Procreate, and i'd like to make a webtoon, but all I saw were Clip Studio creators, so i tried it ... but i really like using Procreate, and I am so relieved to see that it's possible

[@Ash7en]

This is really helpful because I didn’t know all of the measurements or any tabs was starting at “flat colors” When (/if) I release it, it’ll be called ‘lights out, reality on’

[@chereehill31]

I know this an older Video you posted but I am going to start making a webtoon soon still in the starting stage but this video helped out a lot !!

[@daphnesnail9465]

Oh a just a quick note if your have the issue a 6:17 here’s how your fix that! Simply draw a line around the edges of your panel, you won’t see this line because it’s outside of the square but you can still fill in your reference layer. Hopefully that helps someone!

[@jngarrettart]

It was cool to see your process! Your thumbnail technique looked like a great way of doing that part of the process. I’m using Procreate too, and loving it. Since you asked people to share their comics, I’ll add that I just started my own series on Webtoon, “Airilune’s Light”. It’s just the cover that’s up so far, but the first episode is already in drafts and will go live January 2nd, 2021.

[@1musketeer311]

Thank youuu!! I was struggling so much because my lines looked pixelated and my shading took forever, this video really helped

[@amethyst-rp]

For speech bubbles- they can be perfectly rounded if you hold down. Alternatively you can make an outline brush (there are tutorials on KZbin), have it in your outline colour, set that layer to reference, make a new layer under it and fill with whatever colour you want for speech bubble. It stays like that when you merge it too

[@amethyst-rp]

Also if procreate says this format is too large, try 1600x12000px for one page of panels and 4000x6000px for the five columns

I have an important question. I am doing a graphic novel but I can draw digitally, but not color, so I would like to pay someone to color. Where do I find painters and, since I haven't "patented" my work yet because I haven't finished it yet, can they just steal my work for themselves since they will have access to all the pages? Pls someone help me😢

[@ARandoDeveloper]

I recommend learning to paint digitally as the internet is a sketchy place, although it may set you back a few months it will be worth it in the end. Hope that helps!

[@bibidenim]

@@ARandoDeveloper thank you so much!! I'll do it

YAS! I have always thought of making a webcomic but now I can make it actually HAPPEN!

[@bleedcolor2878]

I’ve had an idea for a webtoon but idk if it will be good 😭😭 I wanted to do a story or a fairy who gets summoned by a magical Dreamcatcher. The main girl goes to a garage sale one day and sees the dreamcatcher and buys it and at night when the wind made it ring the fairy appears, confused. So pretty much it’s the story of two girls, one of them a fairy, and the webtoon is about their adventures together and the human girl has to help the fairy defeat the evil that is attacking the fairy’s world

[@Lanaaa2006]

Well let me know if you make it, if you don’t forget about this comment lol☺️

[@kaydreamer]

Fellow Webtoon creator using Procreate, here! This video is really helpful, and it was interesting to watch your process given that you draw them directly in a vertical format. I make mine as standard comic pages first, then adapt them to vertical, so my workflow looks very different. (My comic is called Blue Star Rebellion.) I'm also considering switching to Clip Studio though, and I'm curious about how that change went for you? I'm so attached to my brushes on Procreate. They're custom made, I've been tweaking them for years, and they're perfect for my painting and shading style. The thought of sinking hours into fiddling with settings on Clip to create a brush which responds the same way as my 'oilyblob' is... not something I relish. To put it mildly. I'm also curious about how Clip responds on an iPad Pro, if that's what you're using? The lack of lag on Procreate is just magical.

[@DrawnbyYannan]

Clip studio paint has a free trial version on ipad that you can try out! I personally found it to be too cluttered for the small iPad screen, it was a bit laggy, and I didn't want to pay the monthly fee, so I got the desktop version instead. I definitely prefer my procreate brushes, but I've also spent like 3 years using procreate and only 3 months using clips studio paint. The time saved was worth the trade off for me (and it took me a couple months before it actually saved me any time because I needed to learn the program) but I recommend you try the trial version and decide for yourself!

[@ASMRGirlsTired]

You could always draw on procreate and transfer files to clip studio to add dialogue

[@elenafackler270]

How do you create columns?

[@leynanguyen40]

This is so helpful. I was debating if I should use medibang over procreate. I'm still trying to see which fits my work flow more. This video helps me with some of the issues I faced in procreate that made my drawing process long for my webtoon.

[@DrawnbyYannan]

I'm not familiar with medibang but I'm glad it helped you with procreate! It took me some time to figure out this Procreate workflow myself so I was hoping it would be helpful to someone else, and I'm glad I was right!

[@leynanguyen40]

@@DrawnbyYannan Medibang has a cloud storage and can be connected to several devices at a time. It’s geared towards comic creation so the lineart is like a reference layer on procreate. Plus the lineart doesn’t blur when I use the transformation tool. There’s a lot of great tools that serve me well but the lag for the brushes makes me really sad :( when I draw the line kinda drags 😔 it’s a a free Japanese drawing app so I can’t really complain cuz they updated a lot.

[@DrawnbyYannan]

@@leynanguyen40 yeah the lineart problem you mention is partially why I switched to clip studio paint. Are you using medibang on the iPad? I also noticed a laggy problem with clip studio paint when I used it on the iPad that mostly went away when I switched to a tablet on my imac.

[@leynanguyen40]

@@DrawnbyYannan yes! I’m using it on the iPad :)

[@penguinz3438]

I used to make my webtoon on procreate but the max canvas size is too small for me. I like to work HELLA big so that the quality is the best it could be and on procreate the quality ends up being a bit tacky. So, I recently switched to Clip Studio even though I HATE drawing there cuz it’s really difficult for me. I’m forcing myself to learn it just so I could get better quality and stuff. And honestly, it’s not as bad as I thought! I use a canvas that’s about 1560x19990 pixels, so yeah, I work really big. On procreate I used to use a 1000x10440 pixels canvas which was unfortunately too pixelated. All in all, Procreate is AMAZING for creating comics and so easy to use. But, for me I’ll keep it for illustrations since the canvas isn’t as big as I like it to be. Other than the canvas size, it’s a really good app for making your webcomic! :))
