"How I became a webtoon featured artist" Thumbnail: Illuminati

Not luck at all. My coach used to say “preparation + opportunity = success” and this is a prime example. I’m glad to have come across this! Awesome

Having multiple comic books already on your table is why they asked for a pitch in the first place. That's not luck, thats talent and evidence of follow-through on your part that made you worth pursuing

Kind of was luck. Right place, right time.

man you look so much like a comic character lmao, especially with that haircut

Love your music and “love” intermission 😂

Hey, dude, the RU-vid Algorithm worked. I love your art style bro. Keep it up.

Thank you for this! I'm in the first year of making my first comic - so it's interesting to hear the behind the scenes of how features actually happen, as it does often feel like luck when you see creators get picked for a feature (when you don't know their background and haven't seen all the groundwork they've already put in).

I’m actually currently working on my own Webtoon comic. I’m really nervous as I absolutely love storytelling and drawing! But I don’t have a lot of experience in combining the two. Im hoping to be able to someday get my story featured, but from my experience Im destined to stay in the shadows haha. Still nice to dream though. It will probably be until summer or next year before I actually am able to post it. But I’m really excited for its production! I’ve been putting in a lot of work to make sure it looks as good as it can be at my current skill level. Im also thankful for my animation classes support too, many are excited to read the comic as well which is really nice!

I am in tears. Thank you. Thank you for sharing this. I have been searching online for how to stuff and what not every since I saw the contest. I thought, hey, maybe quarantine and the contest is a good time to finally get started in something I have been dreaming of got so long. This video gives me hope. i kept hearing about "the lucky ones" and it was discouraging me big time. I am a blessed person but not a "Lucky" one. So, I need to depend on hard work like you talked about. Thank you for making me feel like I have a shot and all the great info. ill be checking your other videos out now.

I'm just getting into designing my own been sitting on an idea for the past 10yrd just didn't have the confidence, I have such mad appreciation for you guys that do this is incredible

I always wanted to be a manga artist but doing so in Australia is very hard. Webtoon has given me an audience and a platform to share STEAM HAND and I couldn’t be more thankful.

YOU ARE THE AUTHOR OF GHOST BATS AND HAXOR RIGHT??!! I LOVE BOTH OF THEM!!

You're adventure and advice is so deeply inspiring me. I am currently working on my webtoon ( not uploading until my first season is done) and all the knowledge is fantastic. I love reading and creating comics and I enjoy the webtoon format, thank you so much!

I don’t like watching comic creators on RU-vid usually, but you’re also good at making videos! You seem very skilled and talented, can’t wait to check out your comic!

Cool notes bro! I'm giving my all for my webtoon to be featured so I'm glad to hear that :)

2:39 best part ever xD

I really want to break into doing comics! You've worked so hard to get where you are and it's really motivating to see this!

Hi, I was wondering as an featured artist I'm hearing the workload is pretty heavy as in how many panels or pages you have to upload each week/month. I was wondering if you could maybe talk about that process, Writing and drawing for webtoons. Do you write the entire story before pitching it? Do you write and draw as you go.? Any behind the scenes info for future featured artist. Knowing what you know now, what would you do differently? In the quest becoming a featured artist.

I've always wanted to work as an artist.. And when I see this kind of video, it motivates me sooo much ♥ I'm working on a webtoon, put I haven't posted it yet. Wish I could get featured in the future ahhh Anyway, thank you for making this video ♥

Success is pretty much always a combination of hard work and luck. Yes it was lucky to meet that editor. But it takes hard work and endless hours to get yourself in the position to be able to take advantage of the luck that life sometimes presents to you. You did the work to get there. Developed and polished skills. Created multiple demonstrations of those skills. Then the luck happens. And once it does, it's right back to the hard work part again. Building and producing, creating and developing.

I am a first-time comic creator and I am wanting to put my comic on Webtoon, before I watched this video I was kinda freaking out and overthinking everything. Watching this just sorta calmed my nerves about this whole deal so thanks for that, you just gained a new loyal subscriber!

Thank you for creating your channel! You've made an incredible collection of helpful and informative videos to help me on my Webtoon creation journey. Thank you for your continued hard work! 🙇🏽‍♀️🌸

Your journey as a comic writer as is awesome! It makes me want to create my own webtoon, but I still draw stick, that sucks. :XD Luck maybe a small portion of a person's success but the mere catalyst of it, is the real hardwork and talent! Congrats!

Nice video. Glad to hear you found that opportunity, proud to hear you took advantage of it. You're a good dude.

So.. Basically you have to be seen by the company after years of work as someone worthy to be featured... And to be seen, you have to be PRETTY LUCKY. Because not all creators are easily seen and heard.

I lost it at your reply to the dude who said you got lucky. 🤣

While working, I am currently side hustling to get my comic going too :D

Quickly becoming one of my favorite youtube channels!

Roaming around youtube and landed on this vid, dreaming that one day I'll be able to start and share my stories like you guys.

Lol, man thats was luck. There are thousands of comicbook artis who have great art and a good story but they are not getting featured for some reason

Thank you for sharing! New sub here and planning on making a comic on Webtoons so seeing your channel filled with things I need and want to know is just amazing~

I only just started posting on webtoon (it's called how to build a spaceship btw) and I didn't know if the algorithm wasn't the best or if i was just uninteresting but I think the real problem is just that im extremely impatient. thanks for the video! it made me hopeful

“Luck” is controllable. Luck doesn’t have to be “perfect”, just need to stack the deck by practicing a lot...lots of work to receive luck

This was encouraging! Thanks, Mr. Ostile!

Great video! Thanks for sharing your story!

I just started a webcomic but,as a beginner I really find it extremely hard to promote my comic it's called harmonica if anyone is curious its on webtoon

I loved your videos, it inspired me to go ahead a create a WEBTOON as well!

Great video, Walter. I'm definitely going to look into Webtoon. - Pat Shand

So do you suggest we email webtoons editors before we post at a chance of geting a feature if you already have a set story that makes sense and willing to be flexible? Thank you for this video! 🌹😌

Could you talk a little more about the kind of contract you signed with Webtoon? How much negotiation/wiggle room is there on your part and how much do you feel Webtoons PR influenced your comic. I'm sure there was some moderation involved.

Question. What if your artwork is just ok the first few chapters but improves throughout. That and you develop a large fan base. Can you still get published on Webtoon? Will they have you recreate those chapters?

Inspiration kicked into overdrive thanks dude

When it comes to the contract what do they own of your work and percentage of money do you get keep vers how much do they take?

I regret not finishing my webtoon 2017. I stopped because I had to finish school. But now, I want to pursue a different career: to be a comic artist. It’s hard at first. Getting an audience to like your work. Because for me that’s what makes me motivate to continue. That someone is expecting to read the next pages of my webtoon. What do you think is Webtoon’s criteria to find a comic to be featured? Aside from updating consistently and good storyline. I really planned out the storyline of my current webtoon. But... I wouldn’t stop reaching my dream 💪☹️

I think plenty of artists put in blood, sweat, and tears daily but the difference is that, well, not many of them actually get that opportunity to meet someone relevant to the industry

"youtube campfire" lol thank you for that

Bro I love your books

Oh man I’m about to start a webtoon myself and I’m scared and lost . Don’t know where to start . I’ve been wanting to make comics since I was in grade school but too scared to even try .

Well I think your a awesome artist and webtoon choice was well picked

Thank you for sharing your journey 😊.. My dream is to become a comic artist. And I found platform too.. It's webtoon.. My story is ready.... I want to know that.. Do Indian have chances to get featured? I got this question because I didn't see a Indian artist in webtoons 😅.. And I want to ask another question.. Will you please suggest me a short course that helps me to make comics 😅.. I am thinking about to learn digital arts.. 😅.. ..thank you in advance 🙂

Question: Does the "EYE ICON" tells you how many times have you clicked on your own comic too or not?

I just started making my webtooncomic I just hope it gets attention

i wish i will have a story like that in the future but most likely impossible im full of stress right now and i cant even make a webtoon and im giving up, months of drawing practices and still not improving, no motivation, no inspiration and im just so lost

I started 2016 and I'm still into it. Ok so here's a little story (looking for someone that might relate to this). I started drawing as a hobby when I was a kid. I even start to make my own stories young. BUT my drawings weren't that great because lack of practice, don't know what I want for my future, and I even suck at coloring, though "it has potential" (some people say). Fast forward to college I took animation major because I thought that is where I want to be. Then, LINE happened. Their first contest took place back in 2016 and all I know was traditional drawings but remember I mentioned I've been making stories snce? When I heard about the contest something sparked in my brain I couldn't explain.. and then I said it. "Animation is not my thing.. I lost track of what I really wanted". I know nothing about digital drawing back then. 2016 is when I first draw with the digital pen. It took me until today to be good at drawing with tablet. It wasnt only the tablet I practice, it was also anatomy, coloring, shadings, shadow, lights, storyplots (how, why, when, timeline, etc), character expressions, dialogues, composition.. ALL this.. because of the contest. Because this is what I want and I'm still making my webtoon until today Soo anyone else with somewhat shitty story but somehow is satisfied of the outcome?

400th subscriber! Ohhh yeahhhhh...

I clicked this video to say that you looked like Sinix but after watching the video, I've also gotta say that you sound like him as well

What if my English isn't that good 😟and I also want to make Webtoon😟?

Uhm, I kind of want to make a webtoon in the future, but I want to start up with somewhat of a fanbase on social media platforms like Instagram to catch some peoples eyes and get them to look forward to whenever I decide to make and release it. Is that a good idea, or should I just jump right into it

i'm working on my own webtoon right now, but i'm curious, how do you stick to a schedule and stay consistent? i have trouble and i constantly lack motivation to draw even though i have an immense love for it.

I hath stumbled at you video by accident and I'm subbing

I foloow that comic now for a few months, so you were the creator

Yayy we need more webtoon and comics videos!

Thanx for the advice, tomorrow i post my first cap of my webtoon called Live Together, thank for the help and inspiration, now i need to put mor work on it!

Hey I'm pretty late at finding this video but i hope u see this comment. First of all, thank you for sharing your experience. I want to ask is it harder for you to garner an audience on webtoon seeing that you have to start from scratch and didn't have the people from discover that already know your comic?

How does webtoon deal with a copyrighted work that an artist wants to develop and adapt into a comic ?

This guy looks baked

i can't thank u enough for the information

Eu! Hey Walter! :D muhas gracias por tu video, me ha encantado oír tu historia, me interesaron mucho con ciertos aspectos de tu vida, cuando contabas cómo fue tu proceso hace 3 años atrás, cuando el pequeño Walter estaba vendiendo sus novelas gráficas ( cubicles y shiver bureau - ''welcome to London'') y en los stands de convenciones. great story. - - -

Ok that's interesting but hold up... Is that a Luther Hargreeves figure behind you?

Hello, I know this is a late comment but I’ve been thinking of making a webtoon. I’ve been animating for a couple years and if I create a webtoon want to add animated gifs, but only featured webtoons can upload music and gifs. It’s a shame because I really wanted to add motion and sound especially in the beginning episodes. Uhh not sure how else to fix that but like you said in the video you should upload for at least a year and yeah... I will definitely check out your webtoon!

Hey your story was amazing

My webtoons called Wallrider and I update twice a week (25-30 panels) do you think it will get featured one day?

I am not a artist but i am a great photo editor , i am thinking to make a comic

This helped a lot! =D

Random question, you wouldn't happen to have any advice on turning traditional sketches into digital work without use of a scanner would you?

I don't think it's luck wether you get noticed or not, I think it's up to the editor who notices you, like according to their taste😂😅

Hey, on the technical side, how do you layout the comic? What dimensions do you use (height, width, dpi)? And do you do construct all drawings together in one document, or do you draw different panels in different docs, and then daisy-chain them together? Thanks.

Is that Luther from TUA in the back?

I just want t ok become a patreon so I can read the uploads more earlier ;_;

We are on Canvas at the moment - can I check..Is a comic on Webtoon Originals always completely new, or were you pitching your existing books? And if a comic is on webtoon Canvas, can it be transferred to Webtoons Originals (but maybe the clue is in the name..)? Thanks

I've decided to make one...... I'll try my best to make the art look beautiful 🙂

Can I ask if I can make a comic that is not colored, maybe like Black and White one? cause I'm not good at coloring my drawings so...Yeah. Is webtoon will accept a comic like that?

How long does it take to do your chapters (please specify assistance assistance.)

Ooooo!! I'm subscribing and reading your Webtoon looks right up my alley!! Also, will watch all your vids, keep the grind up my good man everyone sees the end result but staying motivated and enjoying the process is huge You'll become a big youtuber based on the quality of your content and as a recommendation try incorporating your personality in more, lretty sure subscribers/ viewers would feel mkre connection if ya put out how ya are I'm a Writer myself and have been practicing drawing every day for 2 months straight with no day breaks to design the characters, world, atmosphere, etc Have over 400+ quality over quantity ideas/ projects written in various stages of different genres over the last 4 years for Webtoons/ Anime but the first and only one Im starting with and doing is my Webtoon project... Spirit Walker Theres too many ideas to do so might sell most of my IP after developing them to a certain point where they are useable and make a few myself

how can i make song in my webtoon

I like this video... I'm like freaking thank you

I heard that I could not make a dubbed comic for youtube and have it on webtoons at the same time. is that for real? I don't have the patience for that particular activity to read the ToS and was hoping I could get a quick answer. if not its okay was worth a try. lol

I’ve landed on your channel somehow and I find you interesting. I have never read any of your comics, like I said ,I just stumbled upon your channel and I’ve been trying to find myself after high school. Drawing has always been my passion and also story telling . Comic book writer has never been in my mind until last week and I wanted to write a fan fiction (also my original stories),but I don’t know if I get copyrighted even if I dedicated and announce the original creators , but I was going to put my fanfic comic on RU-vid and probably monetize it. So enough of the rambling, I know writers especially comic book writers on web toon update every week and I also know it’s a full time hour job. 60 hours , probably more a week. If you write more than one comic , do you get paid more ? How fast is your drawing pace and how do you get so many pages out efficiently ? I am very detailed with my art, so I’m practicing my pace and efficiency/effort.

Yow guys, can I publish black and white manga on webtoon? I'm making a manga and webtoon is the only website I know to post it.

Would you please make a video on what is ''featured webtoon'' please please please.....🙏🙏

Dawg, I love your videos, but, homie, you got lucky. You were at just the right convention at just the right time. I'm not gonna hate on your journey, but you gotta look at it for what it is, man. Sure, it took 6 years or so before you got noticed, but the chances of getting noticed, even when putting in the work, is kinda slim. Still love your work, though

Some of us live in a poor country in Africa, and never even saw conventions😅, kinda Jealous 😌here is but, I think that you deserve it, nothing happens for no reason... 😌❤

If we have more questions is there a platform to ask? Or can we just ask on this videos because I have some questions and I need some advicd

What age should creators be to publish on Webtoon? can they get paid?

Thanks bro ! I’m working on trying to build an audience! Would l Iove for you guys to check out MAGIC SHROOMS by DopeToons ! Please let me know what comics you’ve made as I wanna help show love back !!

I am an Indian do you think I can become a webtoon artist

I’m trying to get into comic book business but haven’t got any training and also my writing suck so my question to you is Do I need to be establish before I sent a pitch to WebToons because I have a lot of great ideas but I don’t have anyone to write out my stories. I have been watching your videos and reading your comic on Web Toons . Big fan and I’m hoping to bring my characters to the WebToons family.

I really wanna start my own webtoon but also kinda nervous to do so jsjsjs
