Please keep in mind there is no special formula and "right" or "wrong" way to make webtoons. All of my tips in the video are simply gathered from my own personal observations of what makes a webtoon successful. Feel free to use these tips as a guide if you don't know where to start, but this is not the ONLY way to make webtoons! Having fun, experimenting, and doing what works best for you is the most important thing!

[@marianaribeiro8376]

I'm making a webtoon set in the Favelas of Brasil about soccer, yes, sport/drama. I worry about it not being mainstream enough but then again, if we all made the same things, each thing stops being special, so just diving in head first 😂😂

[@randomfandoms8994]

4:58 my protagonist has major gifted kid burnout vibes and is usually quiet and wants to be left alone and becomes friends with the happy sunshine guy through a group project (also happy guy is kinda dumb but not too much) Im gonna have fun

[@itsamaniarts]

Thanks for the tips! Consistency can be hard but planning is so important to be able to do so. ;;

[@hatthawattha]

Can you do a video of tips on how to find person who would draw the comic if you are just a writer or other way around, not to mention how to find the rest of the team?

[@skittlecornnation4323]

I plan to make my webtoon for a year and then release it weekly just so I wouldn't have to worry about meeting deadlines. Does this seem like a good idea or does Webtoon prefer the creator to make a chapter weekly? I know that some artists have buffers but wasn't sure if having the entire story already made was worth it.

[@SwangsArt]

Entirely up to you! We won’t know if you created it in advance or not so whatever works best for you and your workflow :)

[@cheesymarshmellows]

hi probably late, entirely made stories are great for you and your audience that way you can twerk any details and not worry about deadlines just small minor stuff, just like any animator would do when releasing animations with seasons, takes them 3 years to make then release it (ofc also because it is animation)

[@Hello-hello-hello456]

i’d suggest making in advance especially if you have a job, college etc. because life happens

[@t2tan_art]

Thanks😊.. Really thank you for your valuable advice! I will take it into consideration before I release my webtoon story❤

[@t2tan_art]

By the way, I find her to some extent similar to the Korean artist Suzy😅.. how's agree with me?

[@Crow.Theodore]

Thank you, this was really helpful and easy to follow

[@t2tan_art]

Thank you for your valuable advice!😊 I will take it into consideration before I release my webtoon story❤

[@hessyyyy]

thank you so much for the video! very informative and concise, i really do appreciate the wisdom :)

[@bloddrinkeraka]

I wanna make a webtoon, but I won't make the art too clean because three reasons: 1. I can't draw that well 2. it's really hard to make it clean when you draw with your finger 3. I read manga on mobile usually and it isn't the most clean all the time and I like it

[@NAKOMAKONOKO]

Practice drawing your drawings has to be at least a bit decent or have a really good story

[@randomfandoms8994]

I know the finger drawing pain but as long as you can tell what’s happening and it has a good story then it should be fine

[@erislikestolistentomusicc]

I do that too

[@eatstrz]

Hii!! Ive drawn with my finger for a while but recently got a stylus and glove off amazon and its helped a lot !! It was probably about 20-25 US dollars

[@Diisyplayzz]

thank you so much for this video

[@zerothehero2094]

I want to make a WEBTOON but my art sucks

[@s4r363]

Maybe practice a bit and know the basics of how to make Ur art look good !! It doesn't have to be incredible but as long as the pictures are decent then the readers will probably enjoy it as long as the story is good

[@ffdxvjhfhnbhjbkjjbgjvjbkhj8090]

I know this is random, but you are so beautiful! You look just like Jisoo fro. Black pink! Thanks for the great tips also, this is very helpful, as Im trying to start a we too. If my own soon. ❤️

[@lostchld]

I really like this kind of format, please continue to do some tips / tutorials videos when you can please ( of course i like watching your vlogs ) :3 I just have one question not really related to the video but im from France and i wonder if i have the rights to have my own stand in a comic con to advertise my future webtoon or do i have to be american ? Anyways thanks for those tips !

[@saraperezmonsalve7588]

well I know many authors which aren't American, and they still work as originals on webtoon US, but also I know that every language has they own staff and usually has originals but just for those languages, example: the Spanish webtoon has various original webtoons, but those aren't translated in other languages so u can try to look first in ur native language or French

[@lostchld]

@@saraperezmonsalve7588 hello my question was about the right of having a stand in a comic con alley as a non american artist

[@saraperezmonsalve7588]

@@lostchld 😅sorry, I didn't read correctly

[@SwangsArt]

hi! Hmm, concerning citizenship to table at cons, that would have to be up to the convention itself and not something within my knowledge, sorry! But we do have lots of creators table at conventions all the time~

[@lostchld]

@@SwangsArt Thank you for answering !

[@MilhouseDaunt]

What are your thoughts on having episodes prior to the main story where the characters can be introduced? I'm curious about this because True Beauty has an episode 0 that serves to introduce Ju Gyeong

[@Sealah.]

I wanna make a webtoon about my story but as an OC, have chapters like 1-5 my kid life, 5 at school, some abt acomplishments, abt my family, struggles, my first love, how I found out I am lesbian, acceptance, a pretty big comic and idk where to start, my art isnt good enough and I only have a phone, maybe I'll write now but make it later, btw I'm 17yo, and meeting deadlines is hard

[@chariots8x230]

Do you have any tips for creating transitions? What visual effects will help with that?

[@BetulDonmez-rb3oy]

I make my comic for almost a year and I knew so little when starting and my art was so scratchy. Now my art style is a bit better - even though it still has a long way to improve - but I am concerned about that if people look at the very first episode and stop reading because of the artstyle. What can I do for that?😢

[@Pinklemon-345]

Hey I need some help I have a question on some thing so if you make a webtoon in your story could you actually say the word webtoon for like a line or one of you characters to say.? Because you know your in the app or would that be copy right and would have to make it sound like it or the word but just in your own way.? Like mewtub or youcube I'm just saying KZbin but in a different way (:.

hi, how fo you improve the quality?

[@jonielizabeth2242]

Great advice and insight! Thanks for sharing! 🤍

[@t2tan_art]

But By the way, I find her look like the Korean artist Suzy😅 how's agree👍🏻😅

[@chariots8x230]

9:47 But how is the technical part of this done when you’re in the process of creating the artwork? How do you make sure that the panel will properly fit on the phone screen, and that the panels are properly spaced to have enough room above & below?

[@chichou7]

late reply but the recommended photo size is on webtoon, plus you can preview it to see if the framing works well before you upload your chapter

[@Lara-Luna777]

Is there a better way to make people go see it?

[@rodrigo_tm]

10:30 in my opinion this makes the panneling really boring and its my primary concern with webtoons. too much space wasted, i dont really see many webtoons panneling in interesting ways unlike comics/mangas

[@travelersguideYT]

How do I apply for producer at webtoon? What is their requirements?

[@SwangsArt]

hi! keep an eye out for job listings as they come, they will have requirements listed~

[@shirleyfernandez5912]

Im seeking for an opinion about having a "prologue" or just dive in straight into chapter 1. For me i think prologue is debatable wheter if its needed or not because as its a prologue its basically just an introduction of your story to hook the readers in (also basically the summary you wrote of how the story started) or maybe just dive in into the first chapter with no prior introductions at all because you have already said it in your story summary (but idk if some people do read it because i also have the tendency to just dive into the first chapter and forget to read the summary on what the story is about) so yea do you recommend prologue? Just an additional info, I'm making some sort of fantasy mystery thriller (what am i doing) so i can't seem to start the story just yet because of this one particular problem

really late reply but the safest option if you don’t know is just to say it in a different way, that also brings a little comedy into it. like Nettoon or something
