How I Make a Webtoon Using Procreate 

For those who need it! The sketch size for panels in this video is 7200x6000 - divided into 5 columns that are 800 pixels wide (8 boxes wide with drawing guide on). This will make you about 49 panels. Actual drawing size - 1600x12000 This is doubled to leave breathing room for mistakes.

This is extremely helpful! I’m making a WEBTOON and I didn’t want to mess up before I even started! Thank you very much.

i’ve always wondered how procreate users did this. thanks so much!

Clipping mask saved my life😭 I understand the pain of filling in layers without the paint bucket tool.. so that tip you gave about the different thresholds for filling in color is really helpful!! Hopefully my webtoon turns out good!!

This is the only tutorial I’ve ever come across with clear instructions. From explaining each dimension to explaining how you fill in flat colors is all I’ve ever wanted. I actually feel like I can start a comic now I’m really excited!

Me: **Uses Medibang** Also me: **watches this anyway** 😂😂

If you want the bubbles in Procreate to be perfect circles, hold down once you have drawn the circle! Gives me perfect bubbles for dialogue :)

i was searching for this exact same tutorial and then this video popped up on my subscriptions tab right after omg

This is literally the best tutorial I think I’ve ever seen in my life. Thank you so much for simplifying all of this. I’m currently working on an Avatar fan comic called Kenai: A Requiem of Chaos and it’s taking a lot longer than expected to draw despite having the story set and worked on for the past 9 years!

This is exemplary! I have a REAL terror to do Webtoons - er HAD- but you just HELPED me feel SO confident and ready to tackle the whole thing! I will definitely be subbing, watching, and following. You are so wonderful for this. Simple explanation followed by simple proof. I love it!

I’ve looked at soo many tutorials for making a webtoon via procreate and yours is by far the one the best I’ve seen ❤️ very thorough! Thank you so much for the tips!!

Hey!! I saw lilahs magic shop in the thumbnail and got so excited because I’m such a fan of it I’m waiting for the next episode, I love youre work it amazes me!! ❤️

For a while I hesitated making a webtoon because I thought you needed a program like Clip Studio to get the job done. I didin't know it was possible on Procreate. Thank you, this video really helped!

nice! i’m not a creator, but i read a TON of them and was always curious of the process! super cool

I’ve never read or created a web toon but I occasionally get ads for them and they are so cool and creative! It’s super cool to see your process 💛

You have no idea how much this helps! From stressing over how to start a comic in procreate and clipping the files, this is going to help so much! Thank you for this video!👏👏👏👏

this just saved me a weeks worth of work

I also want to create a WEBTOON but I haven't decided the title yet and also the art style😅😅 But I learned a lot from the video!

I want to thank you so much for this, I really felt like drawing and completing a webtoon would be a huge task that I would never be able to complete. This makes it so much easier to understand and I look forward to trying to complete something I’ve wanted to do for years

This is my first time making a webtoons and I'm so nervous, thank you so much for the advice

This was SO helpful!! I’m making a comic for my favorite dnd character’s background- but I’ve been having so much trouble figuring out how to piece it all together. For the first chapter- the one I’m currently working on- I don’t really use panels- it all sort of flows together. Your idea of making that big starting canvas is such a smart way of doing it!!

I can't even express fully enough how thankful I am to you right now! I've been procrastinating starting my toon for so long because I've felt so defeated over how to create one using Procreate. I'm so eager to get started now. Thank you so much, this was amazing!

For speech bubbles- they can be perfectly rounded if you hold down. Alternatively you can make an outline brush (there are tutorials on RU-vid), have it in your outline colour, set that layer to reference, make a new layer under it and fill with whatever colour you want for speech bubble. It stays like that when you merge it too

I absolutely love your videos and especially this one! Really wish you could do like a webtoon behind the scenes series in procreate! Love it!

Thank you so so much for this. Figuring out the canvas sizes on procreate and then cropping to the very specific sizes of webtoon requirements can be so painful, that croppy site looks really helpful and this whole tutorial was great, thanks!

It was cool to see your process! Your thumbnail technique looked like a great way of doing that part of the process. I’m using Procreate too, and loving it. Since you asked people to share their comics, I’ll add that I just started my own series on Webtoon, “Airilune’s Light”. It’s just the cover that’s up so far, but the first episode is already in drafts and will go live January 2nd, 2021.

all I have to say is THANK YOU, you gave me the impetus I needed, I wasn't sure I was going to make a story but thank you very much for taking the time to teach us❤️

What DPI do you use in procreate? My hardest struggle with uploading procreate onto webtoons is that the pictures sometimes come out blurry on WEBTOON.

This is super helpful, thank you! Still in the process of regaining my art skills after I had a super long art burnout / block but I do want to create WEBTOONs someday and I want to start playing around with it on Procreate 😊 Also your art style is super cute and I’m going to check out your comics 😍

Hi!! I just wanted to let you know how much this honestly improved my way of making my webtoon! Something that was once so complicated and alot more tedious to do on procreate is so much more easier! Thank you so so much for taking the time to make this video and explain it in a way thats easier to understand and do. You really helped so many people with this!

Thank youuu!! I was struggling so much because my lines looked pixelated and my shading took forever, this video really helped

started my webtoon "junior romance" thanks to this video ❤ thank you sm!!

The 7th step is so relatable LMAOO always notice mistakes during the previews

I know this an older Video you posted but I am going to start making a webtoon soon still in the starting stage but this video helped out a lot !!

I’ve had an idea for a webtoon but idk if it will be good 😭😭 I wanted to do a story or a fairy who gets summoned by a magical Dreamcatcher. The main girl goes to a garage sale one day and sees the dreamcatcher and buys it and at night when the wind made it ring the fairy appears, confused. So pretty much it’s the story of two girls, one of them a fairy, and the webtoon is about their adventures together and the human girl has to help the fairy defeat the evil that is attacking the fairy’s world

I didn't know you had a youtube channel! And I can't believe that RU-vid recommended me your video :0

THANK YOU!! I HAVE LITERALLY BEEN TRYING TO FIGURE THIS OUT FOR MONTHS, BUT EVERYONE EXPLAINED IT WEIRD!! YOU ARE A GOD SEND

My guy this is probably one of the more helpful videos I’ve ever watched of how to properly make a comic for WEBTOON thank you so much I could probably do this Correctly now

Omg alpha lock and reference is now my life saver thank you

For wordbubbles/balloons I use the balloon brushes from Ittai Mareno. I like them a lot.

This is really helpful because I didn’t know all of the measurements or any tabs was starting at “flat colors” When (/if) I release it, it’ll be called ‘lights out, reality on’

Gonna try this out. I’ve made my comic bits but they didn’t come out as crisp, they look messy, so I’m thinking maybe I’m using the wrong dimensions. Thank you

Hey, this was really helpful, thank you for making this video! I used to make a web toon called secret identity shorts but I’ve been wanting to make an ‘endless scroll’ style web toon for some time! Now that I have Procreate I’m gonna try this out! Your video was very clear to understand, nice work! ^^

Thank you for the Croppy info. I've been wanting to do larger canvas size for drawing my comic, but couldn't figure out how to make it fit for Webtoon sizing! This is great. It's called The Daily Friday if interested.

Great video! Even though I don't use procreate I enjoy comparing workflows and Croppy sounds like a great resource. I'm definitely going to try it out for my own comic, Witchcraft and Wolfsbane.

Is anyone else having trouble with the canvas size bc its telling me that 7200x6000 is too large

YAS! I have always thought of making a webcomic but now I can make it actually HAPPEN!

This was so helpful! I’m making a Webtoon that I plan to make really long, this video will help me a lot because I don’t have a computer to use more professional art apps. The only resource I have is Procreate!

I love this comic so much and I actually found this video accidentally and immediately noticed that it's the same comic that I've been reading❤️❤️❤️Now I love your channel😂

I have an important question. I am doing a graphic novel but I can draw digitally, but not color, so I would like to pay someone to color. Where do I find painters and, since I haven't "patented" my work yet because I haven't finished it yet, can they just steal my work for themselves since they will have access to all the pages? Pls someone help me😢

Fellow Webtoon creator using Procreate, here! This video is really helpful, and it was interesting to watch your process given that you draw them directly in a vertical format. I make mine as standard comic pages first, then adapt them to vertical, so my workflow looks very different. (My comic is called Blue Star Rebellion.) I'm also considering switching to Clip Studio though, and I'm curious about how that change went for you? I'm so attached to my brushes on Procreate. They're custom made, I've been tweaking them for years, and they're perfect for my painting and shading style. The thought of sinking hours into fiddling with settings on Clip to create a brush which responds the same way as my 'oilyblob' is... not something I relish. To put it mildly. I'm also curious about how Clip responds on an iPad Pro, if that's what you're using? The lack of lag on Procreate is just magical.

This is a God send thank you I hate inking in clip and prefer procreate feels more natural

oh god, this video was SO helpful! thank you so much! and aahhh, I totally share your frustration with word bubbling in procreate. I miss you so much, CPS... T^T

This is the most clearest instruction and i love it tysm i needed this for making my first 3 comics

Im about to start a story thats unnanmed curretly lol and this is so helpful

I dont use procreate but the storyboard process is actually very helpful! I never thought of it that way

oh my gosh i love your comic

This is the most helpful guide in existence

Hi! I’ve been working on a webtoon but no one uses procreate so I thought I’d have to get a completely new program to pay for- thank you for posting this!

You are amazing. I am going to use your guide and try (emphasis on try) to make my own webtoon!

I used to make my webtoon on procreate but the max canvas size is too small for me. I like to work HELLA big so that the quality is the best it could be and on procreate the quality ends up being a bit tacky. So, I recently switched to Clip Studio even though I HATE drawing there cuz it’s really difficult for me. I’m forcing myself to learn it just so I could get better quality and stuff. And honestly, it’s not as bad as I thought! I use a canvas that’s about 1560x19990 pixels, so yeah, I work really big. On procreate I used to use a 1000x10440 pixels canvas which was unfortunately too pixelated. All in all, Procreate is AMAZING for creating comics and so easy to use. But, for me I’ll keep it for illustrations since the canvas isn’t as big as I like it to be. Other than the canvas size, it’s a really good app for making your webcomic! :))

thanks so much! i’m trying to make webtoon a but i’m really bad with tech so this helps a lot!!

Oh a just a quick note if your have the issue a 6:17 here’s how your fix that! Simply draw a line around the edges of your panel, you won’t see this line because it’s outside of the square but you can still fill in your reference layer. Hopefully that helps someone!

I'm done writing my story. Will start creating the webtoon from today onwards. Great help ❤

I so happy I found this video, I’m making my own webtoon, it’s a horror called ‘they came from HELL’ and I definitely would’ve been so lost without this! 😭

Thanks so much for this!! The canvas sizes were really helpful

this is seriously so helpful! I've always been super lazy with trying to figure out the dimensions etc lol so you're a life saviour!!

thanks for sharing how you do it. wanna try it.

Thank you, I just finished my first oneshot webtoon, Angry Grilla!

Thank you so much for this helpful guide and I am working on a WEBTOON myself ❤

Thank you for the advice. I think I'm ready to make my own WebToon

Nice, now how do I draw, color, and make a story? 🤣 Ahahaha

thankss youre the best for beginners !!!

Love your webtoon

THANK YOU SO MUCHHHH, NOW I CAN START DRAWING THE CHAPTERS FOR MY COMIC ON TAPAS

Glad I found you, I will go visit your webtoon comic, Thank you for the Webtoon Using procreate tutorial.

Really helpful !!

This was so helpful cuz im planning to use procreate and clipstudio on ipad only had 30 day trial to be able to save and it always didn’t save😭 you are a life saver

Great, thanks a lot for this . I'm so happy. I wanna improve somewhat more in drawing then try making the webtoon . I got story ready ( kinda one-shot/short ) one . I'm currently learning coloring in digital art and tried 2-3 times till, results were okay okay ig . But i should focus more and improve . .was thinking about going for a webtoon and searched YT . Found ur video. ❤️❤️.thanks 🥺

Thanks for this! I’ve looked at so many tutorials but this helped so much more than others! :)

This was so helpful 😭🥲 I was struggling on this for so long

Very helpful, thanks!

Aahhhh thank you so much for this video! ❤️ I really needed this to help jumpstart my own webtoon

I’m new to making WEBTOON and your video is REALLY helping! Thank you!!

This was easy and fun to watch, im atm making a weebtoon. (from script and old sketches) So this makes it easy for me to plan my Work for the future!. Thank you!

Nice video!!! I have both procreate and CSP but I just recently got clip studio so it’d be nice to have a video on that UwU

Amazing!! Thank you for the tips! This video has been so helpful!

Thank you this helps a lot. I been wanting to try making a fantasy story

I just got an iPad and got procreate, so this helps a lot! Thank you

This is so helpful. I was debating if I should use medibang over procreate. I'm still trying to see which fits my work flow more. This video helps me with some of the issues I faced in procreate that made my drawing process long for my webtoon.

this is very helpful, thank you! I'd love to see how you do it on Clip Studio as well because I really want to use that app but I find it so overwhelming.

This was very helpful, thank you! 😫 I’m making a webtoon too, but haven’t gotten to drawing any of it yet because I had trouble deciding what program to use on my ipad. I’m only used to Procreate, and it pains me because there are so many smart tools in Clip Studio that could make the work process easier, but Clip Studio is very confusing to me and I get too overwhelmed to really learn how to use it properly. So it really helps me to see that it is indeed possible to make webtoons using Procreate. I also learned some new tricks I didn’t know about. I never understood what the alpha lock and reference tools did, I’ve been colouring in my flats by hand all this time! 😭

This is SO HELPFUL. Thank you!!

There’s a much easier way to do speech bubbles! Go to the select tool, click Ellipse, make it whichever shape you’d like and then just fill it in :D

This was amazing!!!! OMG THANK YOU! I’m more excited to make my comic now!

Thank you SO much. This is an awesome tutorial and I plan to put it to use someday :’) having a webtoon is my dream, my art just isn’t quite ready yet!

Thanks, Yannan!

Yes show us how you use clip studio paint please!😁

Bless you for this video 😭👏

Great tips. It’s also instructional and inspiring for web toon creation in general!
