[@suzysquidink]

The thing about treating each page as its own story has been a massive game-changer for me - thank you for the advice!

[@Fidion]

😆😗😊🤪

[@Fidion]

😅😉🤪🥰😊😜😉🤣

[@birddog4194]

I'll agree...very good advice. David Finch offers some excellent comic book advice on this subject, as well.

"I almost forgot to like this video" ahahaha sneaky

[@linnamorgan2215]

thank you so much for all of your videos, I am just starting on my first webtoon, and when I sat down to do the storyboard I was so desperate bc I had no idea where to start. Funnily enough writing the script was the easy part.

[@johannfunn6962]

Thank you for this video! In addition to the tips, I also appreciate the “sample” pages you put on the screen to illustrate your point, pun not intended. Was that a Godzilla battling Mothra I saw 👀 Also I’ve been doing my best to follow your 180 rule tips religiously since I watched that video haha, thank you for that too!

[@cameronbaker3813]

Literally missed half of what he said because I can't stop watching that one strand of hair

[@Kayleigh_McKee]

SUPER dense and helpful video, thank you!

[@lumilumoart]

Thank you so much for these videos, always looking forward to seeing the next one!

[@siviou]

Your videos are so helpful, I really like your hair!!

[@Fidion]

😜😅😭😭😉😜🥰😉😜🤣😉😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭😭

[@abbygale2811]

Super interesting! Adding the comic examples were very helpful :)

[@1kayo]

U gave me a really cool idea thank you teacher

[@Vestele8]

I just started my own comic so I'm suuuper glad I found your channel : )

[@marleighsyoutube]

Do you have a video explaining emotions and expressions? I want my characters to be very expressive but I don’t quite understand all the expressions that other comic artists use. If you haven’t already can you make a video explaining all the expressions that get used in webtoons and what scenes they would be suitable and unsuitable in?

[@birddog4194]

I'll work out emotions on a character's face by looking at my own face in a mirror. Of course, you can always do an internet image search of the emotion you are trying to achieve. I also make clay head models of my main character for reference and make them in a few basic emotions (happy, stern, surprised, angry, and sad, pretty much)

[@TonyTylerDraws]

I would argue that the last panel being a change of setting is a cliffhanger of sorts, and could lead the reader to turning the page."Oh, we're leaving Starbucks and now we're in the moon! What's going on??"

[@walterostlie]

Right, maybe something like the character walks of starbucks and then we do one small close-up panel of the character crazy wide-eyed and saying "what the heck?!"...now they really want to turn the page.

[@Magillana]

For some reason, KZbin decided that i didnt want to watch your videos any more... -.- Anyways, that was very helpfull. I was pretty excited that you did a video on print comics. :D I usually thumbnail what needs to be in each panel out seperately and then i try to puzzle them together on a page (and change the composition of the panels if needed). Not sure if thats a good way to do it, but it makes it so i dont have to think about the whole page and the individual panels at the same time.

[@walterostlie]

Silly KZbin! That's a good method if it works for you. I like to visualize the entire page at once, otherwise I feel like I will have to do re-work when I put all the panels together. Actually I prefer thumbnailing an entire episode all at once so I can see all the panels and pages side-by-side. I imagine the entire issue as a single piece of art that needs to work together. I detailed that process out some in this video if you didn't see it yet kzbin.info/www/bejne/fna2Yp2MmdhqeKM

[@Magillana]

@@walterostlie Thanks, that video was really interesting. :) I do rework a lot of panels the way i do it, that is true.

[@rjohnbernales]

Thank you Walter. I wish you more and more success. I really appreciate all your content 🤜🤛

[@Bubblegob]

A good way to do right stacking is for showing details of a scene where no action is happening, to build anticipation before an action scene or slow the pace after a big action panel the point being the drawings in those stacked panels can be seen in any order without loss of information for the reader. I just think it can be a really cool panel design. Great video anyway, very helpful!

[@domxto2]

This video is so so good! Thank you very much!

[@elchiponr1]

thanks, nice clearly explained, good energy. subscribed

[@arteva309]

It was really helpful✨ Could you do make a video to explain the new Webtoon thumbnail? I see many artists having issues, including me😅

[@othellobarker1291]

Glad i found this video ❤

[@junky802]

Function over style

[@Kimmiekawa]

The ninja doing all kinds of tricks in the air before killing the other character haha, i love it. Really demonstrated the point 😂

[@Thedarkbunnyrabbit]

I'd love to hear about the non-sequential presumably intentional mind-frell style storytelling mentioned offhand at the end. I can imagine a little how that might work, but not really sure how you might apply it or any actual rules or guides involved, since it's such a rare form of storytelling and intent there's not much to reference from.

[@balramos6276]

Great job man

[@dsfdfsggsgs]

So many good information and tips, great video : )

[@walterostlie]

Thanks!

[@1nabea_tutubi]

It's helpful omg

[@JoyBoysNewVessel]

Bro thank you my teacher gave me a 1 school day comic to make out of nowhere

[@hannabosley5175]

amazing video as always :)

[@otomaru2344]

Great video!!!

[@walterostlie]

Thank you!

[@NothingNarrow]

I think I need a video how to draw the characters

[@brando3861]

Bro I'm finally early to a video

[@LehiJenks]

How do you do fold outs in Clip Studio Paint? 9:57

[@aleenathammasorn9007]

Do you have any tips on writing 4 panels comics on webtoon? (maybe around 3-5 panels)

[@novarys6081]

“One of the best ways to learn is by failing-unless you’re a doctor-but for artists…

[@lespectator4962]

Lol, have my like. That made me chuckle.

[@Sammy_47]

Would you, if you have time, do a video on how to promote your comics on limited funds and/or with no social media presence. Aside from posting on webtoons/Tapas and promoting on social media, are there other ways to get your story out there? Thanks as always 🙂

[@tvb3551]

Bruh needs to come to terms with his receding hairline

[@rafe_9665]

Ufff his hair disturbed him alot during thw video ;-;

[@walterostlie]

Yea was driving me nuts

[@brillientan9202]

Hi walter sorry to bother you but can you check my one episode in my comic? I just want to know if the action scene is quite alright ❤️ thanks its "Retaliation Bullet" by Atsuya

[@DippedInInk]

Break the boarder but not to confuse. Use Todd McFarlane as a reference. He did it correctly

[@michellinmillington]

Your hair being in your eye was distracting

[@walterostlie]

How do you think my eye felt about the whole situation?

[@MagicalMasterMind]

please get that hair out of your eye 😭

[@attieyag]

Your hair is annoying. (HOWEVER… I would probably ware my hair that way if I could grow hair. My baldness produces insane jealousy at times. 😂😂😂 ) Hopefully someone found that funny. Thanks for the tips man. And please keep up the great work.

[@ruthtanya7294]

Any artist here wanna collaborate on webtoon ?
