Why I'm no longer drawing in Webtoons format

[@Mickiee-art]

Webtoon converting is so entirely possible, and its really beautiful when people take the care to convert them, It's a shame that a webtoon like Lore Olympus (the biggest webtoon on the platform) didn't get the best quality conversion it could have. :(

@@Mickiee-art yeah its such a shame. It really felt like a rush job to me :/ Like from converting my pages, ik it can be possible to make a print version that looks good

Personally I prefer reading and drawing the page format! I just think it's more fun to see the panels interact with each other, and have a more diverse way of being able to panel. I was shook at hearing that webtoon originals creators have to do 40 panels a week! Especially as on average, I'm gonna be spending more than an hour per panel.

This is fascinating, watched and enjoyed till the end 😊

@@ChantelleArts aww thank you for watching!

Very good video. Enjoyed the topic. Wishing you all the best with your comic and getting it all in print ❤

[@Gleamiarts]

@@LisaNaniOfficial Thank you! So far I've made a lot of progress with the previous episodes and I'm trying to build a buffer as well of the newer pages too

Advice I've been following for the past while is to take the approach of starting with page format first, then converting to scroll format for platforms like Webtoon and Tapas, since there's a lot more freedom with scroll format. That said though, I'm still in the process of actually drawing the pages in the first place, so I have no idea yet what the conversion process from page to scroll will actually look like for me. I did upload a page format comic on Webtoon a handful of years back though and I like to think it did decently well aside from my inability to update consistently, so hey, there's that!

@startheberries9698 I was thinking about converting my newer pages into scroll for webtoon, but because I'm also converting previous episodes into print I just don't have the time to do so. Yeah that's good advice! I wish I heard it when I was starting out.

Your comic looks wonderful in page format, too! I heard all the same things you did during that time. I've had other webcomic creators tell me that I'd be 'left behind' if I didn't convert to scroll format. But even though I tried it, it just didn't work for me so I held fast to page. I do print runs of them sometimes. I just feel like page format is more future-proof and versatile.

[@Gleamiarts]

Thank you! So much bad advice was going around in that time :/ glad you stuck to page format! Yeah its so versataile

Is it bad to say I prefer page form just because the length of updates for pages vs webtoons is way shorter.
