Working on my comic while I Binge watch all your videos. Probably some of the best advice you have given about coloring is " try not to worry about how realistic the shadows are, focus on what makes the scene look good/ cool. " Which actually really helped

Hey, I am glad you liked that piece of advice. I worry sometimes about saying stuff like that because I know people are all like "artistic integrity!" and I'm like "eh, comics!" Are you already posting your comic, if so let me know where I can read it. If you're not yet, let me know when you do.

@@cybershellrev7083 It will be different for each creator depending a lot on the type of work you want to do. But yes, it is possible to support yourself with art. Freelance and self-employed art is my full time job. However I worked it as a side-job for 7 years, before I was able to go full time art. Check out this video for more information on my journey and how I got here. kzfaq.info/get/bejne/q8qbjJN83dKXkac.html But you can sell art/comics at conventions or online. Find commissions from reddit or instagram, etc. Do Kickstarters. Make a webcomic and run a Patreon. It's a lot of hustle and also living small. The less money you spend on things you don't need, the easier it is to be an artist because you don't need a lot of money to live ;-) And thank you!

Can I not do the scroll down webtoon style? I wanted to do the comic book page style. But I do not know what canvas size to use

@walterostlie 3 жыл бұрын

@@pitayafruit You can, it doesn't work as well on the webtoon platform though. Especially if someone is reading on their phone, the lettering will be too small. But the max dimensions of webtoon is 800px wide. So whatever your drawing your comic book page on, will be shrunk to 800px when you upload it to webtoon. So it doesn't really matter what size canvas you use when drawing a traditional comic page. If you do that, I would recommend that you put at least 3 pages in a single webtoon episode update. Not just 1 page.

And indeed I will do more than one page, I just want to know if I can do it, although webtoon size still confuses me, I'm using a android tablet and using the long scroll down canvas makes it really blurry I can't draw on it no matter how much I change the px, the size and etc

I'm so torn between coloring and b&w. Like I guess it depends on the artist but colored pages can be quite stunning! And also seems to be the more popular option. On the other hand, b&w is both nostalgic and really cool looking! Some of my favorite Mangas are done in b&w, art still done in b&w, and with b&w you don't really have to worry about color pallets as much :' D On the other hand, colored pages can add a lot to what's going on 🤔

@walterostlie 3 жыл бұрын

I agree, b/w comics look really cool...but I also think that b/w is maybe harder to do well in some ways. Composition and contrast becoming way more important. Going color is definitely the safer choice.

Hello, Walter. Thank you for your video tutorials. I already asked you, but I can’t find your answer, so I got the audacity :) and I will ask again - What size / resolution do you make your pictures, both for publication and for printing on paper? Maybe there is a reason to make a video on this topic? Or am I stupid and missed your video like that))?

@walterostlie 4 жыл бұрын

It depends on what size you want to print. Every 300px gets you 1 inch of print resolution. If you want to print at standard US comic size, 6.625" x 10.25", then you need at least 1988px x 3075px. However, I usually use 3300px by 5100px because that is 11" x 17" which is the standard paper size used by traditional US comic artists. For this comic I am doing in the video I am doing 900px wide by 4500px tall. Because 900px let's me print each of these panels at 3 inches wide, so half a comic page.

If you're artwork is really clean, then using the fill bucket will be fast and work really well. However, if your artwork is messy like mine, the lasso tool will be cleaner. Messy lines can confuse the paint bucket.

1. What does flat white out mean at 3:18 (the inks?)

@walterostlie 3 жыл бұрын

So the flat whiteout layer is just a layer of complete white. This is a work around for Clip Studio. Clip Studio tools allow you to have the selection tools and paint bucket tool use a reference layer instead of the layer you're working on. However the reference layer has to be visible, not hidden. So having a flat white layer above the reference layer is a way to "hide" the reference layer without making it invisible (turning off the eyeball icon)

@walterostlie 3 жыл бұрын

Different monitors can show colors differently, especially if one of the monitors isn't adjusted correctly. The other potential issue is that you could be working in a CMKY profile and exporting using a RGB color profile and the two profiles that are selected aren't super compatible. What program are you using to draw? Are you drawing on your phone and exporting to your phone?

@springschilde1456 3 жыл бұрын

@@walterostlie thanks so much, currently I am using Medibang paint on my PC and exporting it to my phone. What color profile do you normally use RBG or CMYK?

@walterostlie 3 жыл бұрын

You can prolly just use RGB. Since you're drawing on your PC, when you export to the image, can you export it to your PC and look at what the exported file looks like in a program that isn't Medibang? Like windows photo viewer or something. I am guessing you're exporting JPG or PNG. If the export looks okay on your PC and not your Phone, then your screens may not be calibrated correctly. You can always join my art community discord and ask for help there and you can upload your files which makes it easier to figure problems. discord.gg/FufAeG3

In 2015, I raised $13,000 on Kickstarter for my second graphic novel. Did this while working a full time job, wife and kid. Wife worked also.
