How I Make a Webtoon on Clip Studio Paint (Beginner Friendly!)

[@Jayo___]

A video showing in detail how you set up your layers and all of that for a webcomic (like you had here) would be amazing! I know would very much appreciate it!

[@DrawnbyYannan]

Okay! I will keep that in mind!! Thanks for the suggestion :)

[@MoreJadaaWadaaaa]

I would like that too

[@Zen_Zen_Zense]

1:42 is such a genius idea, thanks for the tip!

[@EricFaries]

This is really neat. Clip Studio Paint also has a Webtoons option when making a new file. Super handy. Even let's you set a number of divisions, which are managed in the Story editor.

[@hedera1332]

O M G.... That vector layer thing changes *everything* :O

[@racheljohnson8704]

your way of explaining is amazing!! tysm seriously!

[@Glarblenuck]

I like your layout. Everything is there for convenience. Might copy that lol.

[@DrawnbyYannan]

Do it!

[@LadyLimmi]

Thanks for showing every step on the way in detail! It really helped a lot ☺️

[@sei_pika]

Thanks for the tutorial! May I ask how you managed to make the character art pop out smoothly in that panel with the king and queen? I always struggle with doing those no matter if I use the CSP frame tool or just the regular rectangles...

[@DrawnbyYannan]

Oh good question. Okay, so you have your lineart layer, the panel lines layer, and the white panel layer. Basically what I did was I put the lineart layer as the topmost layer temporarily, then I erased the lines and white parts of the panels that overlapped with the lineart. If you use the fill bucket tool but select the little transparency button (right under where your colors are) you can use the fill bucket as an eraser and that makes it even easier. After that, I moved the lineart layer below. If you find that some of the white is still covering the lineart, then you can just copy and paste the lineart layer and put that part on the top of the white layer. Hope that helped - it's a little hard to explain in only words!

[@sei_pika]

@@DrawnbyYannan Thanks so much!! I'll try it out for next time!!

[@sexymfreud415]

how do you preset the layers in 1:37 please ?

Thx for watching! ❤️

2hrs making a storyboard? I spent the whole day figuring out the storyboard+script. Huhu. I think I did something wrong here😖

I just for Clip Studio Paint and this is seriously so helpful!

[@Маринковић-й6ш]

this was really helpfull but i have a question , what are the dimentions of the canvas of the presvaed file u use? Thanks in advance

[@DrawnbyYannan]

1600x12000

[@chariots8x230]

I got confused when you said that you just copy & paste your thumbnail sketches into a pre-saved file 1:27 I’m trying to learn how to use the new Webtoon feature in Clip Studio. I don’t know yet how to properly set up the file so that it’s suitable for Webtoon. What canvas dimensions do we need to use? If I want to make the length of the canvas longer in order to add more panels to an episode, how can I do that? How should we set up the workspace in order to work on a Webtoon comic and keep all of the sections together? When exporting the slices of the Webcomic into jpegs, do we have to reduce the size in order to upload them successfully into Webtoon? For example, I like to work between 300 to 600 DPI (since that’s helpful if I ever decide to print my comic). Will this affect the size of the jpegs I export and make them too large for Webtoon? These are some very basic things that I want to learn how to do in Clip Studio but I can’t find any videos that cover the basics for creating a Webtoon comic. I would appreciate some guidance on these things. Thank you 🙏🏻

[@DrawnbyYannan]

Hey these are good questions and a lot of people ask me them in the comments - Its a bit too much for me to answer all in one comment but I'll answer the first one and I plan on having a video in the next month or two that covers more of your questions since a lot of people are wondering! You can have multiple files open on clip studio like you have tabs on a web browser. I have one that has my thumbnails and then one that I have all my layers that I like to use saved. Then I use the select tool and copy and paste one column of the thumbnails into the other file and I'll save it as episode 1 part 1 or something like that. Rinse and repeat for all the sections. I do it this way because when I started using clip studio I didn't have the special webtoon feature and it worked just fine for me.

[@chariots8x230]

@@DrawnbyYannan Thank you for replying to my comment 😊 I guess it’s the more technical stuff that I’m stuck at. I’d really like to learn how to use the new Webtoon features that Clip Studio recently added. It’s very cool that they dedicated features specifically for Webtoon creators.

[@red.07_borahae]

How do you tell how many pixels there are between each panel?

[@AllySillyCookie]

I have a question! I’m thinking of buying the pro version and i was wondering if I can draw on my IPad Air while an hp computer is running it. (I am so sorry if it’s confusing, I’m still learning English since it’s not my first language

[@rabbikhan3715]

can u make a video of how to make webtoon preset the one u used in the video

[@monty609]

Do you think you can do a short video on how to upload to Webtoon, mayne the way you do it, what file you save the pictures as, how the interface looks. As a first time Webtoon creator, I want to make sure I'm doing it right lol 👋👋

[@DrawnbyYannan]

Noted! Pretty busy w other projects at the moment but I will try!

[@HahaHaha-qt6gq]

Hello ma'am I don't know if I missed something but when you posted it to webtoon, does it make those cut layers connected or clipped to each other thus why you only need to roll through the screen to read? Or do you clip it directly to clip studio?

[@DrawnbyYannan]

Im not sure I understand your question but you should save the file as a .jpg before you upload it to Webtoons. You should also save it as a .clip as a backup, but you need to flatten the file into a single image before uploading to Webtoons.

[@HahaHaha-qt6gq]

@@DrawnbyYannan ohhhhhh so that's what I need to do no wonder it doesn't work for me hehe thank you ma'am (≧▽≦)

[@eunbin4968]

Hi can I know what are the dimensions for panels pls

[@porgeusa]

At 5:53 on time line for video she says she doesn't know what this tool is called. Anyone figured it out yet? Got an answer?

[@itsfizzybro2511]

Do you do the line art with your mouse of use apple side car and the apple pencil along with the ipad?

[@DrawnbyYannan]

When I use clip studio paint, I use a Wacom tablet, not an ipad.

[@lm_doesbrushes4964]

I cant see whats happening, clicking everything so fast. How did you open your storyboard and put it on clipstudio. I dint even know where to make a layer/canvas or whatever. I cant even figure out the tools you already have set up on your end.

[@QNiki]

Mmm clip studio fill bucket tool supremacy I will live and die on that hill

[@DrawnbyYannan]

Saaaaame

[@lunarebony6122]

I have a question, do you use pro version or ex version? I'm thinking of downloading it for webtoons, but the ex version is a bit expensive.

[@DrawnbyYannan]

I use pro

[@BlooGhost]

Haha it was on my to do list to watch a video about comic creation- perfect timing 😂 the biggest problem for me is I don’t understand how to do webcomic style layout- it always feels like it’s too smashed together or doesn’t flow right. What drawings do I add vs leave out? I can draw a picture no problem, but for whatever reason comics are basically impossible for me.😅

[@DrawnbyYannan]

Ah you're talking about the storyboarding process! It's tricky. I would do two things: read about storyboarding in animation to learn about different types of frames so you can familiarize yourself with them. Secondly, I would start off with just doing a short story so you can get a feel for the vertical flow. Pretty much every episode I need to go back and edit it a second time and add some more space between panels after I've previewed it on Webtoons, though I've gotten better about this w practice!

[@BlooGhost]

@@DrawnbyYannan I’m not terrible at story boarding- (I’m in my second year of animation school- story boarding has been one of my favorite classes actually!) I think it’s just the verticality that throws me off, and with comics you don’t need, and really can’t, emphasize every subtlety in the way you can with animation. Or at least that’s been my experience. Did you start out doing short stories? Maybe I’ll try making an old fable into a webtoon or something for practice.

[@DrawnbyYannan]

@@BlooGhost oh, well, in that case you have a leg up on everybody! I actually think the vertical scroll can give you a lot of the same effects as animation - for example if I want to emphasize an action or movement I'll just copy and paste the frame a few times but change the action slightly each time like you might in animation. My first webtoon was a short story and it really helped me get a feel for the medium! I think you'll find that you like it. 😊

Thanks for the tutorial. May I ask...can we use different sizes of canvas for webcomic??? I mean when i was beginner I start working on 800x2560 but now I realized that it is not enough tho- so do I have to redraw those pages??

No it's fine - but just make it bigger next time if you feel like you need to

[@goldexperience5713]

Thanks for this video! It was really helpful as I am deciding wether or not to buy Clip Studio Paint as an upgrade from Krita. Can I ask, are you using the Pro version or the Ex version of Clip Studio?

[@DrawnbyYannan]

I don't remember which one is which, but I have the cheaper more basic version. I would start there because you can always upgrade later by paying the difference if you change your mind!

[@goldexperience5713]

@@DrawnbyYannan Thanks for your help! I appreciate it😁

[@caseyjoe3341]

@@goldexperience5713 if you want to try it out and not commit they also have a monthly subscription. The cheaper one is the pro version and it can do everything except for animating long clips the ex is the all inclusive version but is pretty expensive if your goal is to just make webtoons and make art i recommend the pro version

[@vivianvinh3416]

That's a very helpful video. But I have one question. Majority of the comics in Webtoons are anime style, and my style is non-anime style. Does the comic have to be anime style?

Wait do you need to resize the pictures or just upload them in it’s original size

What canvas size do you use? I am very unsure about which canvas size to use. The internet says 800 by 1280 px, but I feel like that is too narrow? Please help me.
