Must Know Perspective Tips for Webtoon and Comic Backgrounds

[@Ryuuko-chan]

I'm learning more by watching this than my entire uni course

[@passmetheadobo]

Any video with perspective I write down and save 👁👄👁✨🏃‍♀️ Thanks Walter!!

I'm gonna have to rewatch this video a few times. SO MUCH INFO!!! Also: Yay! He called us Discord peeps cool!

[@walterostlie]

That's my new plan. I am going to cover complex stuff, so people have to re-watch a lot and I get all the views! Muhahahahah

[@kayomi8304]

i'm currently working on my first webtoon and your videos are life savers!!

[@walterostlie]

Congrats on starting your webtoon! Have fun!

[@ajblank833]

I have a few questions. 1:What do you do when your background perspective doesn't seem to match with your character's perspective? 2: what about fish eye lends perspective? 3: What if you have to use more than 2 point perspective? Do the same rules carry on to that too?

[@Nikke283]

Perspective...the never ending story.I actually enjoy perspective /backrounds(even when I mess them frequently kinda...;)) When it comes in "3D" (or better 2D pretending being 3D) I guess the hardest parts are bodys and very small objects because the smaller something is the more it can look kinda off- just millimeters to big/ small can do a difference to look believable or off. Do you have some you enjoy most in doing comics/webtoons or some you hat with passion? I enjoy telling the story with pictures in general (thumbing) The most meditative part (even when I suck ) is inking and I hate- I mean I actually HATE flatting or in general digital coloring (what is kinda odd since it is what I did for living ) Thank you for doing so nice and competent videos. I think your channel need much more attention!!!!

[@imanid6526]

idk why u dont have more views. ur basically like a god when it comes to easily explaining things

[@walterostlie]

Appreciate you!

[@TambriArt]

This video really put things into perspective. ( I'll see myself out ) but really, this is super helpful, thanks Walter! :)

[@platoschauvet]

i've studied perspective a lot, but struggle, and this was so concise and helpful seeing it all applied

[@samjadragon]

I can do normal perspective lines for buildings that are the same shape and are square or rectangular but I really have trouble with obscure shaped buildings like in fantasy worlds or alien buildings. I also have trouble with natural landscape like mountains and forests.

[@walterostlie]

I'll make a video for that. Thanks for the idea .

[@onlyinbakedgoods4877]

'drawing is not easy, and if it feels hard then you're probably doing it right' ooft! i felt that. love that tagline dude! Amazing content as always! keep it flowing!!

[@walterostlie]

Thank you!

[@MandibleMoon]

I wish I found your channel sooner, in just watching two of your videos I already feel like I've learnt more than what I did from doing three years doing a university art course haha

[@clearadel7402]

This is so helpful, I’m planning a short comic and it’s very daunting to think how much art fundamentals I need to learn to draw what I’m imagining especially with backgrounds and places. Thanks for sharing your knowledge!!!!!

[@jesstellstales2113]

These perspective videos really break it down and make it simple. Thanks for the helpful info!

[@kiyan8079]

As someone who puts minimal efforts into backgrounds, this is a great trick to use! thank you for another helpful video:D

[@brodenmckinney8168]

Another Banger! You covered some stuff you have covered in the past and used that to further your tips. I really appreciate all your tips.

[@augustawickmanart]

Thank you for making this video! Although many of the tips you discussed in this video were tips I was already aware of, you actually worded them in a way that made sense to me! So thank you for helping me make sense of perspective! :D

[@moonieburgundy]

Great video once again. thank you :)

[@artsy_kay2433]

Love this video, super helpful :) thank you ♡

[@Sammy_47]

Always so helpful. You went kind of fast on how to make equal size objects (you have another video on that too I think); either way, I'll save this and watch it again to take notes 🙂 Also, when drawing a character in perspective (low and/or high angle...even the side in this video), do you use simple shapes to flesh out the character form? That's a difficult angle to draw.

[@FringeSpectre]

I'm digging these videos. Just started working on my own comic and these are perfect for referencing.

[@itzmizo4462]

Early gang from the title i think this would be helpful for me as i am working on my comic these days

Can’t believe you got THE person A and B to star in your video!

[@walterostlie]

I know a sign that knows a sign.

[@anam00090]

great video! would love more breakdown on rotating objects in perspective, in complex scenes most things are not perfectly aligned towards the vanishing point - how to easily approach it, especially if the shapes are more organic like landscapes without buildings with no clear geometric shape to envelop it in.

[@walterostlie]

That's a good idea for a video. I'll try to put one together.

[@anam00090]

@@walterostlie Looking forward to it! ^_^ your channel is super helpful

[@doodlemancy]

2:11 is something i have never heard anyone mention like. EVER. i struggle The Most with perspective because i am neurodivergent in a way that makes it just. even less intuitive, i think. but this knowledge may have just changed my whole life LOL

[@akashm8203]

Excellent video on perspectives

[@walterostlie]

Thanks!

[@erkling5865]

this vid is awesomely informative! the using of human height and use of the box to draw in perspective is the answer i was looking for. how about for part2, is how to draw angled/rotated objects but still in perspective? personally, i'm confused how to do those. thank you very much for this vid!

[@walterostlie]

Someone else mentioned that. I'll add it to the video list. Thanks!

[@erkling5865]

@@walterostlie thank you very much. will wait for it! i'm planning on finally making my comic. maybe i can ask for your critique sometime later. i'm still trying to learn the what-nots from your videos.

[@sylviapuppysticker8664]

For part two, could you give a tip for foreshortening things? Whenever I draw someone reaching towards the viewer or something similar, it just looks like they have "Yaoi Hands" 😓😅

[@arowyn.m]

Have you by any chance seen Sycra's foreshortening video? He uses the "coil technique" which really really helps! He's Sycra on youtube :))

[@walterostlie]

I'll see what I can do. Thanks!

[@Niteshnayak19]

[@danianla12]

I'm drawing my first webtoon, and my plan for background was gradients and solid colors xd UNTIL I watched this video!! Thank you so much for sharing this. IT IS SO HELPFUL! What have you studied to dedicate yourself to comics / webtoons? any advice for beginners (I'm a graphic designer and a frustraded illustrator haha)?

[@walterostlie]

I've purchased a handful of art books through my life, but I've only skimmed them. Honestly the best advice I have for you is don't be afraid to fail and try to make as many comics as you can. Start with short comics that don't mean anything to you, just fun, silly. Get longer and more serious as you get more comfortable. And try to have fun :-) There's only a handful of books I'd recommend. Figure - amzn.to/3gKFZwn Perspective - amzn.to/32Ry6gG Writing - amzn.to/3ey6ZMT

You have so much more energy! Good sleep schedule?

Hah. No. I just tried to sound more energetic. I'm a pretty low volume kinda guy. If you met me in person and we had a normal conversation you'd think I was dead :)

[@fioreearva6095]

sir its really informative thanks alot but sir can you teach us how to draw character with background using up and low horizon line

[@walterostlie]

Yeah, I can do that.

[@sejalb725]

THANK YOU!!! ❤

[@matthewnicolaspetrasanta318]

I have a question, How do you draw dreams or flashbacks in a webtoon or manga? How can you make it appear as a dream?

[@erkling5865]

desaturate....or make the borders of the panel blurry. if you want the dreams to be inside panels, you can include the "waking up" panel under them, the dream sequence will be like speech bubbles for the "wake up" panel.....or use black/dark-colored background outside the panels. been reading too many comics my entire life and these bits worked for me as a reader.

Thank you!

[@mechaniproject6291]

great video

[@dorothy.j]

2 point 3 point do they have same horizon point? Can u explain in pt.2?

[@Nikke283]

The Horizon LINE is always there where you want it (or better where the eyeline of the viewers should be) Sinde the one point perspective is kinda the "short version" of the two point perspective they can have the same point( but you use two point perspective to generate another effect. Importent is : They always are on the SAME horizone line (even when you have to enlarge your canvas to see or imagine....) so if you take a photo to compare you will barely find a perfect one point perspective- even when it looks like - Not even two point ( since higher stuff or lower stuff rearwardly taper to the sky/ to the ground as well ) Perspective is a construct. It works for the mind. :)

[@nouzmb]

Is it better to start with background (or at least the color palette) before coloring the characters? I've been practicing drawing but when I add my background I struggle to blend them together to the same lights and shades

[@walterostlie]

I did a video about this that may help kzbin.info/www/bejne/ipm8i32ng7OtnqM

Yeah, they are a little tricky. Try watching it step by step while drawing along. You have to do it a few times and then it will seem easy.
