⭐My Webtoon Drawing course:
Lately I've seen a lot of discourse on the webtoon→print and how it's sadly been viewed unfavorably, while it can be done so beautifully!
I've designed and printed a 200+ pages book that's been praised for its quality, so I'd like to share my insights on how I did it🧵
I did the Miku redraw but I don't feel like coloring her😅 so I decided to release the file for anyone who'd like to! 😇
If you do color her, please keep my credits. And.. show me the result, I'd love to see! 🥳

Please, never EVER tell an artist that their artwork quality has dropped
We already internally beat ourselves enough about that
We have our ups and downs and stresses
One negative comment of disappointment could hurdle an artist even more
Be patient & we'll get back to our glory
It's been a while.. but I'm back with another webtoon-friendly tutorial :3
For all the characters separated from their backgrounds ☹... here's HOW BLEND THEM IN 👀✨✨
Side note: surely each format has its different rules, so vertical-to-page format is def not gonna be like a page that's been planned from scratch. And the same can be said for the opposite
But in this thread I want to show that it's very doable, and it can still look great

I draw my webtoon on a 2400 px wide canvas & I printed my book in A5
I went for 300 dpi res as it's good enough for a color book (monochrome needs 600 dpi)
With these dimensions my webtoon panels were big enough to make a lot of horizontal panels that fit the page format nicely
Unpopular opinion maybe but I think short-style drawing timelapse videos are only satisfying to watch but they're not informative
Long form YT speedpaints on the contrary are an actual learning experience. I picked many techniques over the years just by watching them
Lastly, there was an audio track of Oz writing messages to the charas (voiced by Junko Minagawa!)
In the very last message Oz addressed us the listeners, saying "Thank you for remembering us. This is not goodbye, there might come a chance we meet again" and I'm like--😭😭

Now the trickiest part is arranging the panels.
It's not a drag-and-drop process, it needs some planning and thinking outside of the box.
Some panels may need cropping, zooming in, breaking into two panels, drawing missing parts
And when all else fails sometimes there's a need to draw extra panels
Or have panels with a solid color/texture background that are just for text, instead of having it float in blank space
I want to talk about this artwork of mine that I lost to the internet 7 years ago, a thing now considered "an image from Google"
This artwork is mine. I'm the one who drew it.
Here's the story behind it
As I worked on hundreds of pages I learned that the best approach to planning pages is by making a rough draft
Grab your panels in the quickest manner (i just screenshot mine) and mash them together in a page with lasso tool and quick editing
Ofc there's alot more to say on this, but I hope it changed your mind a bit on the webtoon to page notion
While it may not be perfect, it can still be beautiful!
I'm very proud and happy with the book I made
And I'm so excited to design my upcoming volumes!
Doing this will save you loads of trouble and help you maintain your sanity, trust me
I learned this the hard way, where I had to redesign a couple of pages just because I needed to shift one or two panels 😩
Now I'm approaching volume 2 with lots of rough drafts!
Another tip I'd add is: make your images bleed through the edges as much as you can!
Eliminating those blank edges will really up the aesthetics of your pages and your book will feel more colorful
WE MADE IT WE MADE IT WE MADE IT AAAAAA 😭😭😭😭💖💖💖

This helps see the full picture of your chapter and plan clear reading direction at an early stage
Once each panel has its own space, you can start the actual work and fill those pages with the high quality panels
The trailer for "Inside the Mirror" visual novel is here!
Help support this project on kickstarter!!
"Inside the Mirror" is a visual novel (game) project which I've been working on with
@StairsProd
Each of the characters had their own wall section with a big artwork, a description of the chara's role in the story, selected (very pretty) manga panels of them, and Mochizuki-sensei's thoughts on the character and how they emerged!

It was challenging at first but I finally switched to

Hope this helps you if you're struggling as well🤗
I've FINALLY finished & launched my long-promised digital coloring course 😭💖💖💖
As a celebration, I'm giving away 10 FREE access coupons to the course!
See the thread to join 👇✨
[RT Appreciated] So this happened and I'm in a pinch now. So much time, energy and financial losses. Gotta recreate so many files to get back on track, and I'm feeling very stressed and uneasy now.
If you'd like to help support me until I get back on track, please see this thread
Thank you so much for your applications!
As I have received an overwhelming amount of responses, I have closed it
I will go through it and get in touch with shortlisted candidates soon
A little bit late to post, but better late than never!
Since it's been the anniversary of the day the kids went to the digital world 💙
This is an artwork I did 2 years ago ^0^
I'm a big Digimon fan btw 💛
You can watch the Speedpaint here:
Giving away 2 free copies of this new book "Manga Artists' Copic Marker Coloring Techniques"
It's an English translation of a Japanese book so it shows some of our favorites artists' tips & tricks but in ENGLISH!!
Entwined when I first started digital art vs now, that's 15 years of difference!
My teen self wouldn't believe I got where I am today 🥹
Keep on chasing your dreams!!
